"Little things" in Godzilla films you wonder about

[edgaguirus]

I'm curious if the people living in these movies have to buy kaiju insurance. Do those living near the coast have it just in case Godzilla or some other beast wrecks their home or business?

Why… is it always Japan!?

Yes, I get it, these movies are made in Japan by a Japanese studio, but in universe, most of the time it doesn’t make sense why it’s always Japan, does it?

Pretty sure someone asks this question in one of the Millennium films, so they are least aware of this factor.

Funny enough I expected the MV movies to be all America all the time, but it was far more global than I expected it to be.

If I had to give it any thought, I'd assume it was just a territory thing. Attraction to the lights and sounds of the local county which would be Japan.

But ultimately, you really answered your own question. It's just the production.

Sure it does: For the most part, we're only seeing the in-universe stories set in and around Japan. And for all we know, other nations are similarly ravaged by other monsters. This is borne out by films as disparate as Monster Zero (we're told Ghidorah appeared in the U.S.), King Kong Escapes (where all monster action in the first two acts occurs outside Japan), Godzilla vs Mothra (Infant Island is near Indonesia), Gamera 3 (Gyaos attack aircraft somewhere over central Eurasia), and others.

Although that may not be the most satisfying answer, it doesn't really have to be any more complicated than that.

Why they made up two different islands for King Kong to live on in the Showa Series.

I don't know this for fact, but I suspect Kong's island origin in KKE was dictated by Rankin/Bass. They produced The King Kong Show, which set Kong's home as Mondo Island. They also rejected the Kong, Ebirah, Mothra scenario from the year before, purportedly because it was too-far removed from their series. Although KKE as-released is a fairly loose adaptation of the cartoon series, it does carry over a number of the show's most notable inventions, including Mondo Island.

After reminding myself of those old, weird M.U.T.O Gigan and Rodan pictures Dopepope made all the way back, i started to wonder: did any of those eggs the Female M.U.T.O survive? I mean, yeah, most of them are totally incinerated; but Aftershock said there was enough to them that they could've overrun the entire world if they grew up. Could the explosion have really gotten all of them?

It does seem likely they all died, even if the explosion didn't get them all the Nuke was taken away so they could have easily starved. Even if they somehow survived after all that I have a feeling Monarch and the military would have secured the nest site after FeMuto was killed, negating any danger. I doubt they were in any capacity to be hatched after only a day of being layed

Unless they did a 98, but as they were all linked to nuke it does seem unlikely

If Godzilla and Rodan continued to fight uninterrupted in Ghidorah, who would have won in the end?

Rodan. I'm totally giving it to Rodan.

Rodan is a tough sucker but I had Godzilla eventually edging him out. Just more ways to damage Rodan vs. Rodan's ways to damage him.

Come again? Godzilla barely did anything to Rodan. Rodan even took the atomic breath to the face and practically laughed it off. Meanwhile, Rodan also slammed Godzilla to the ground, lifted him into the air and dropped him hundreds of feet and pecked the bejesus out of his head.

What happened to Hesiei King Ghidorah's Middle head?

Big G hurls him to the ground then severs the middle head and neck. There's a spray of blood and dust(?), the mothership returns, Godzilla destroys it, then KG tries to escape before crashing into the Bering Sea.

So, where did the severed head go?

Which was overall just as ineffectual to Godzilla as Godzilla's strikes were to Rodan. Godzilla also was picking Rodan up and slamming him around the rocks as if he were a ragdoll. Eventually I just see Godzilla and Rodan wearing each other down but Godzilla having more options to deal a decisive blow.

We never do see where the head landed after being blasted off. I suppose the Japanese could have recovered it for study, but we only see them examining MKG's body later.

Why Cyber-Godzilla is an entirely different skin color than his son, and himself prior to his enhancements.

I always thought it as just to show that his skin was decaying ever since the 98 movie and the roboti parts were the only thing making him not look like a full on zombie.

[GodzillavsRayquaza]

Yeah G98 would have been dead for around a year by that point, he’d definitely be rotting away even with the government preserving his body. Cyber-Godzilla probably smelled awful

Actually, the only part of Mecha-King Ghidorah that was saved was his mechanical middle head; we never see the rest of his carcass.

It was this head that was studied and inspired the creation of both Mechagodzilla and the Garuda.

[m0nster01]

Huh, well Japan capturing the decapitated head and harvesting the biological parts of Mecha King Ghidorah could have been a great lead in for BioGodzilla or that initial draft of Rebirth of Mothra.

Garuda came before they salvaged MKG.
