But the fact is, they're identical.
...Last I checked, ones made of metal and the other is made of flesh. How is that "identical"?
They're both weapons of mass destruction. Their 'purpose' is irrelevent; on a conceptual level, they are truly no different. Massive, incredibly dangerous weapons.
Now whose the one being
incredibly vague in the most broadest sense of the word?
Going by that logic, every kaiju is identical then. That's why I'm being as specific as possible.
In that case, with such a general 'definition', NO monsters are truly different. On a grand scale, most monsters exist for the same purpose, and by your definition, are bad concepts then.
...Except that most kaiju don't protect anything. Only certain ones do, like Mothra and Battra. Others protect, but only a small scale, like MechaGodzilla. Others destroy, like Space Godzilla and Gigan. Some just do whatever they want to do, like Godzilla, Rodan and Gorosaurus.
You're using two different arguments for the same thing. That's why everyone is, for lack of a better term, ganging up on you. I'm merely pointing out the flaw in your rationalizations.
Here's the reason why I'm being general on one concept, and vague on another.
Daikaiju like Godzilla, Mothra and MechaGodzilla have been around for years, and in many films. In those films, they evolve and change as characters/creatures. Being vague on describing them would be an insult to their character.
However, Battra has only been in one film, where we were told almost nothing about him. I don't see how I can generally talk about a daikaiju that has no character, other than being a cracked mirror image of another Toho daikaiju, and was hardly even in the one film he starred in.
I understand that I'm being very general with Godzilla and MechaGodzilla, while being very specific with Battra and Mothra. But, I see no problem with it. Its simply a difference between viewing characters that have a long history against viewing characters that have no history at all.
You fail. Heisei Godzilla was CREATED by humans via nuclear testing.
I'm talking about Showa Godzilla.
Then clearly you need to rewatch Destroy all Monsters, Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla and Godzilla vs Monster Zero. In all those examples I listed, Godzilla was under mind control and was being used for another party's purpose.
Ugh. See this is what I mean by nitpicking. What you're doing here, clinging to the tiniest of examples is REALLY annoying.
I'm not talking about every single little second of the entire franchise. In this instance, I'm talking about the majority of the franchise, where Godzilla isn't being used by someone else.
Seriously, I didn't think I needed to spell that out for you.
Again I bring up Kiryu. Hes is the original Godzilla ressurected and augmented via technology and put under HUMAN CONTROL to do their bidding. So in a sense, yes, Godzilla (54) is a robot.
And that comes into play for all of five minutes in a film made almost 50 years after the original film. I don't think Tomoyuki Tanaka made
Gojira with the intention of having Godzilla be a robot.
Really, I don't give a shit if Kiryu was designed around the bones of the original Godzilla. He's MechaGodzilla, first and for most, especially in the terms of this argument.
And if you're really going to be so nitpicky about how there are Godzilla bones inside of Kiryu, then there are still two other MechaGodzilla's to talk about.
Once again, I bring up Kiryu. He can do whatever he pleases when not under restraint.
I stand by my statement, since even Kiryu's purpose is to defend humanity. It doesn't matter if they lost control for five minutes of the film, it doesn't defeat MechaGodzilla's purpose.
Wow, four eye rolls. Must be a new record. Congratulations Gyaos!
