Yes, but Teresawa's comment was specifically about that incarnation, not about his character across all three movies._JNavs_ wrote:Aren't they all the same character?eabaker wrote:Most of your sentence related to Baby Godzilla and Godzilla Junior, not Little Godzilla._JNavs_ wrote: Debatable.

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

What slim odds does he over come? What allies does he make? How does he follow in his father's footsteps?_JNavs_ wrote:Then you must've watched a completely different Heisei era.Maritonic wrote:None of that happens..._JNavs_ wrote: Overcoming slim odds, gaining allies and growing into his fathers footsteps is definitely an arc.
He does nothing in Mechagodzilla.
He is trapped in Spacegodzilla.
The most stuff he does is in Destroyah, sure, but he gets killed quickly and never shows any sign of being remotely like Godzilla. Yes he becomes a mature Godzilla at the very very end of the movie but that's just an image, he doesn't *do* anything.
He is a plot device to move the plots of MG, SG, and Destroyah. He has no overarc through those movies, he doesn't change or evolve (only visually).
Any issues, please feel free to private message me or e-mail me at MaritonicTK@gmail.com.

Wondering when the F.B.I will join this chat.

He is found in Rodans nest, Rodan believes him to be his brother the entire film, until he realizes he isn't and then he sacrifices his life for Godzillas so that Godzilla can raise his son all the while the humans discover he's better off with his dad.Maritonic wrote:What slim odds does he over come?

He is stolen from Godzilla by SpaceGodzilla to lure him out,so yes technically he is a plot device for this film, but that doesn't mean it isn't a continuation of his arc.
He whoops lil Destroyahs ass for a solid 10 minutes before the flying crab starts whooping him into the ground, He tries to take on Destroyah but gets chokeslammed from the skies, lands hard and dies. His father feeling pure burning hatred whoops Destroyah into next Tuesday and then dies, relinqueshing his energy to lil Godzilla, thus reviving him and officially giving him the Godzilla namesake.
That's a pretty badass arc if you ask me.

He actually doesn't try to take on Destroyah in his final form.

Re: Minya: Why all the hate?
Wasn't it lil Godzilla that comes out of nowhere? Could've sworn it was amidst the final battle between Big G and Destroyah.
