SPOILERS ALERT!!!!!!! MY THEORY ON THE EYE CONTACT SCENE

You know what? That is a really good theory. I completely agree with you. I think Godzilla did care about the humans and didn't want them to get hurt. So in a way he was protecting us from the MUTOs. I think you are right. Good thought :)

It was clearly said by Gareth that Godzilla doesn't care about humans. The missiles and bridge are just pure coincidental.

To me, the scene where Godzilla looked into Ford's eyes made me think Godzilla was thinkng "Well would you look at that. Well I don't care about you so I'm just gonna go kill my prey, kay, thanks, bye."

Joe Brody's spirit and Godzilla's awakening would make sense if it was made by Toho but I think it would've been more implied if it happened.

What i think is : 

Godzilla "Thank you so much tiny human..You just saved me from home work by killing those babby maggots"

@Something Real - That is also a great theory. I agree with your's too! :)

@Something Real- Dang! I didn't even think of that! Awesome theory! Even thoough I cling to my theory, your's is probaly what Gareth was looking to acheive with that scene. Thank you VERY much for that idea!

Um, Godzilla's Wrath...nice.  Submit something that, at a bare minimum, is contestable if not laughable (hard to do with science fiction, but I think you've done it) and then demand everyone to be postive. Okay, I'll try...

I think there is zero percent chance that Edwards had that in mind.  Maybe 0.1...no, sorry 0.0.  Perhapsthere was an intention of some very basic, slight connection between the two as living creatures--probably along the most basic lines of life.  Yes, it's clear Godzilla has nothing against humans, but yes, the last writer had it right--he's just indifferent.  He's swimming next to ships, under ships, yes. But not because he's considerate, but just because he has a locked-on purpose which is very instinctive, and we're just in his way.  (BTW, to all the MUTO lovers out there--the people who feed bears--if the MUTO are so "cute" and just innocent animals, why are their actions so much more malevolent than Godzilla's? Oh yes, because they are parasites--the closest thing nature has to malevolency).  

Well this indifference--if he really were as intelligent/thoughtful/spiritual as you suppose--would make NO SENSE.  Why?  Wellllll they did try to NUKE HIM 60 years ago, right?  Yeah, I'm guessing he'd have held that against us just a tad, don't ya think?  And not because he's gone Christian on us.  He's an intelligent animal with some personality--smarter than a dog, but probably not quite as smart as a dolphin or gorilla...and no, not seeing much spirit there (okay this is where the positive...part...hard...stiffling laughter...)  

Okay, sorry, I disagree with you.

@Carl Majors- Wow. you're cute. I'm just here to make theories ( as is everyone else here on this website) about the new movie and hope everyone here will have enough common courtesy to be positive and not be a complete tool. you really think i'm demanding it? hey, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't come here and expect people to listen to your whiny ass. I'm just here to have fun, and some limp noodle, such as yourself, isn't going to stop that. There are MULTIPLE reasons as to why Godzilla is very intelligent. one of them being: HE FREAKING TOOK THOUGHT INTO HOW TO KILL THE FEMALE, AND THOUGHT 'HEY WHY NOT BLAST THIS SHIT DOWN HER THROAT?' 

oh, and if you don't like listening to people's theories and are going to shut down EVERY theory, then why don't you take a gander behind you, take a few steps, and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

@Something Real- Thank you for posting that! sorry about what I just put here, but i'm just SICK  of people being tools who think they can go ahead and judge other peoples ideas cause they think they're better than everyone else. there are a BIG group of people in this dang age that don't have ANY common courtesy! Why can't people be more like you????

@KUROCHAN_24- I 100% Agree with you! That part made me VERY sad. I almost cried!!!

but maybe that sad smile you saw was saying: everything will be alright.

Something Real: Oh come on...that wasn't even a bloody nose.  My ONLY pointed comment was, you can't write something in public and then say "only be positive."  Only appropriate? Sure.  Only clean language? Got it.  But if I want to laugh at it, I can...this is a public forum.  I didn't denigrate him personally, and I happened to think what he said was preposterous, okay?  He has a right to say what he wants, and well, so do I...and if I want to laugh at his theory, well...can't I? Lighten up folks!  We're discussing a fantasy movie!

Godzilla's Wrath: chill please, guy.  If you want to say something in public, then you can't up front say "don't criticize my idea."  That's basically what you did.  If you hadn't thrown that disclaimer in there, I'd have matter of factly told you that I thought your theory had no merit. None.  (I didn't use profanity either)... this wasn't a personal attack on you.. That's simply what I thought...so yes, I poked fun at you since you up front said I couldn't be "negative."  Well, sorry to offend you, but realize, you're throwing it out there in public. 

If anyone wants to fire back and take me to task on my opinion, well then, that's their right isn't it?  I certainly won't tell them to only be positive.  If you disagree with me, well isn't that negative?  Should I be offended?

Is everyone else here so thin-skinned? Please let me know...I'll leave the kitchen if it's that stone cold...

Folks--all--

Please, no real antagonism meant here. Really, none. I like to challenge peoples' opinions, nothing more.  Sorry to offend, but I call it as I see it.  Yep, I was sarcastic, because I don't like being told up front to "only be positive."  That's what my employer, the military, says too BTW. . .and they don't take criticism well either.  So, please, I'm trying to have fun like everyone else. If some folks are not used to being poked at a little (I talk to my best friends 10x worse), okay, I'll dial it back...

But if you throw out something in public, you're inviting me to say what I think too...and if I think you're being silly, well, I'm gonna let you know it, okay? You do the same to me...no harm intended, but yeah, I'm hard to debate with--I'll make you do your homework. 

Peace all, please.
