Warner Bros..New (Godzilla InfoGraphic Site) Launched.

The problem is, whether fans like the novel better or not, the praise for it is too little to reach something as big as Legendary and their hierarchy of filmmaking. It may be a decent expansion to some, but it doesn't make it synonomous with the film.

If people want to consider it canon that's their call. But because the studio is so likely to ignore it, I wonder, will people still consider it canon if future movies contradict what was written in the novel?

For example, what if a completely different explaination is given for his ray that doesn't include the plasma sack or... whatever... Do fans still pick and choose which explaination they like better? I just don't think it pays to consider a book adaptation of a film canon to the franchise.

People still try to say he took megaton nukes because the literature talks about castle bravo despite the movie specifically pointing out they only used kiloton nukes.

Durpoo, Kilotons are still more then any type of Godzilla has tanked.

Well, there was more than one test, as Dr. Graham points out. Who knows? The Captain only spoke of Lucky Dragon, which was a kiloton test. Maybe others weren't. Maybe Castle Bravo was included in the other tests. We don't know for sure. However, the military planned multiple megaton-level bombs to take them all out.

Durpoo check your messages! Also Castle Bravo and Yankee wore performed on Godzilla, when graham says, "Nuclear tests in the pacific, not tests, they were trying to kill it." Its because they used more then one test.

Lucky Dragon was all that was shown, but the bomb at the beginning of the film is Castle bravo, Castle Bravo and Yankee wore apart of the tests in the pacific in american history.

So why wouldnt they have been tested on the King if all these tests wore carried out that included them.

Since they specifically refer to the fact their nuke is much bigger than anything he's ever taken, and had he taken those megaton nukes it wouldn't make much sense to use basically the same payload over again. 

People don't seem to grasp this isn't the real world. Everything that has happened in our past doesn't have to coordinate with this movie. The movie goes out of it's way to say their megaton nukes are bigger than what was used on him. That is blatant fact that he hasn't had any used on him of that magnitude.

^And here comes the picking and choosing of what some think is canon in the book and canon in the movie. It's a stalemate argument, Durp.

Durpoo, that doesnt happen.

If they are using Castle Koon which was 115 kilotons, then Bravo and Yankee are in their.

The clearly stated Nuclear "Tests" Meaning more then one. Just cause it wasnt said in the film doesnt mean it didnt happen. Like how its implied that Serizawa knew Gojira before this incident but they never said it directly.

We talking about nukes (Cracks Fingers) Ok let's begin

Godzilla was gonna die by the mutos anyway so he was already about to be at gods doorstep so I think if he was about to die the nuke would kill him. Maybe he feels off radition but ITS A EXPLOSEN so it will hurts. He had to recover after the tests and 1954 and it took him 60 years to heal so he was already about to die and a megaton would make his body be all over SA. Ford saved his butt twice in the movie. Once when the mutos already killed him and Ford got the nuke away. Also when I said he was immature is because this was most likly his first combat. Because the bones in the cave were of the Godzilla before him and the two mutos from the movie were in that cave. So yea. Plus Godzilla is just a animal in the new movies. He is not a Godish like creature. To be honest this is godzilla's first time going on full animal. The only other close series was Hesiei since he was part Dino but he was still a godish like creature so that was half in half. But the new one has scars from the 1954 nuke if you notice so it did infect. To be honest the only to man made devices to kill him are a powerful nuke (kill new one that is) or Oxegyen Destroyer. The only other way is send him in space or something stupid just let him suffitcate. 

Flyers.....I thought we already established that the Mutos didnt have him at gods doorstep.

If they did, Godzilla would have been able to tail whip and use the atomic breath.

Ford didnt save Godzilla, he distracted the Mutos, giving Godzilla afew seconds to charge up. Very different from saving his life. And why are you so determined on Godzilla dieing? "Just let him sufficate" What the heck?

Godzilla was also going to blow up the eggs as soon as he got a chance, you think that if he smelled and heard the Mutos he wouldnt smell their eggs and think of them as a threat?

Also, the Nuke wasnt going to kill Godzilla by any means, if you think that...Well i dont know.

Godzilla already tanked up to 15 megatons, whats the bomb gonna do?

Also Godzilla was reletively extremely close to the bomb. It still went off and hit him.

When did we establish this. I never said he wasn't dieing Because he was dieing. He passed out twice and like I said you can get back up even after almost dying

Oh dear, High Flyers........ That seems an awfully disorganized bit of TL;DR. Might I recommend splitting that up a bit next time? o3o

Anyways..... you doubt this guy's combat prowess, yet we clearly see he was an absolute dominatopr one-on-one with either M.U.T.O. The male only gets off scot-free because he can fly, and the female just doesn't have the chops to overpower the King in ground-combat. Only when they tag-teamed him and hit him for multiple angles did they gain the lead.

Also, Godzilla was only beaten up. It's not like he was gonna die right there and then. He didn't as you can see. In fact, he looked pretty good overall, with some wounds and a bit of fatigue, but nothing alarming. Also, being beaten up didn't mean he was gonna die from the set-off nuke had he been front and centre right away. His skin didn't magically get weaker.

Sure, it would've done more than usual, but in all likelihood, he probably could've survived it. I mean, he took more than one nuke before, and not even in long intervals either. Some bombings could've been just a few weeks in between, certainly not enough time for most conventional Godzillas to shrug off such punishment in such a short time frame.

And sure, he's a more animalistic creature this time around, but is his status as a powerful being that much more diminished? I'd say no, since nearly all other Godzillas were more or less the same anyways in terms of general behaviour.

Not really. what about ford? Also the bomb went across the bridge and far away. That's way there's no damage to SA. And because it went far away godzilla suck it in in stead of it killing him

DUDE SHE JUST GAVE BIRTH 

What bridge?

Yes, but she's a mother. Mothers are extremely aggressive, and yet Godzilla overpowered that. I doubt even if she didn't lay eggs, she still wouldn't be able to overpower Godzilla, as he's bigger, stronger, and arguably more aggressive anyways.

Golden Gate Bridge? Did you even see the movie gorilla?

They were no where near the bridge.

Also that rusty old thing was destroyed it would have no effect to the travelling of the concussion anyways.

Yes but she would have been stronger. When moms give birth they usal take weeks off and rest. Animals takes days off usual and she had to fight when she just gave birth
