I mean look at the weaponry in the US arsenal. We can punch through whatever earth and concrete to destroy underground facilities, but not some animal? A missile can take out an aircraft carrier, but not Godzilla or whatever?

If I walk out in the first three minutes of the film and drop the big scaly bastard with one round of AP from my AR-50, it really doesn’t make for much of a movie.

Quoted: I mean look at the weaponry in the US arsenal. We can punch through whatever earth and concrete to destroy underground facilities, but not some animal? A missile can take out an aircraft carrier, but not Godzilla or whatever? We could get into the math about how an animal of that size wouldn't be able to walk or about how it would sink into the ground from the weight, or the blood pressure problems, or a bunch of other things that rule out a 300 foot tall dinosaur. If something like that did exist in real life, then yes, modern weapons would make short work of him. I mean, give up doing any real damage with a .50BMG, but a 155 artillery round is another story. Maverick missiles would tear up Godzilla. But FPNI again, its a movie. If you don't ignore all the science fact stuff then you can't make a movie about Godzilla. So, if you want a Godzilla movie you have to just ignore the science stuff. BTW, one thing a lot of modern science fiction movies get wrong is that the audience is required to suspend disbelief to enjoy the movie. But the writers still need to create a consistent world that always follows its own rules. It being science fiction is not an excuse for bad writing. |

The monster suit is made of really thick rubber. It is thick enough that the little guns on the miniature tanks can't penetrate it. Otherwise, you would be killing off multiple stunt men every day of filming. Duh.

The film needs to last at least 1 hour 45 minutes. Otherwise it’s just a long commercial.

A couple of Apaches dumping 30mm DU would have ended the kaiju. But nooooo lets bankrupt the world and build giant robots
that require two people mind melded to run. (kinda like the China virus if you think about it) |

(kinda like the China virus if you think about it) How to seal the rift from Pacific Rim. Take an incomplete Virginia class submarine hull and build it around a single very large caliber torpedo tube. Build large caliber torpedo out of the bones of dead Kaiju and a Tzar Bomba type nuclear warhead. Send modified Virginia to fire bone torpedo at the rift. Done. Both cheaper than giant mechs. And so fucking METAL! |

Because Godzilla is America. An unruly, random monster of unstoppable power. No weapons, no acts of bravery, no sacrifice, no level of technology will stop it or even quell its shrieking.
Eventually, Japan will learn the reason the monster has risen. Japan will learn they created the monster. Japan will learn the monster will protect Japan from far greater monsters that would destroy it. |

All are radioactive, the amount has varied but the later ones are more juiced up. |

All of these movies should be redone with contemporary weapons to reflect modern attention spans:
Godzilla 87: Return of the Derp. An M1 Abrams tank rolls into frame... Gunner: Target identified, 2000 meters! TC: Load Sabot! Loader: Sabot UP! TC: FIRE! Gunner: Target down, bleeding out on Cuomo's mansion. TC: Stupid dinosaur! Fuck you! Who wants pancakes? Roll credits... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Godzilla and the other monsters can withstand nuclear blasts Carrier group isn't going to do shit They can withstand radiation. Radiation is only a necessary, though not really desired byproduct, of nuclear weapons. The desired effect achieved is blast wave. Is Godzilla made of physical matter? Because if he is and he's close to detonation ground zero his matter is going to be dispersed by said blast wave. |

It's explained in Shin Godzilla and other movies. Hyper fast regeneration based upon the nuclear factor.
My own take: Godzilla basically has depleted uranium for skin and heals hyper quick. Dumping energy into him just gives him more power. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mostly improper caliber and poor shot placement. That's one of the other things. No one ever seems to use tactics against these things. It's just line up your weapons and blast away. I had a dream a few weeks ago about using Su35s against a Mothra type monster. The Su's didn't have anything that could even scratch the monster. But they were able to act as picador's, draw the monster away from population centers and lead the monster to a human weapon that could scratch the beastie. |
