"Little things" in Godzilla films you wonder about

[CrimsonBloodX]

Why the hell Mechagodzilla in the anime canon didn't activate when Godzilla originally attacked the construction site? I presume it had something to do with the advanced AI making the decision but it bugged me we never found out why it refused to activate.

According to Wikizilla, the novelization of Godzilla: The Planet Eater points out that the Exif may have secretly sabotaged Mechagodzilla. If that was the case, then it would make sense since the Exif wanted mankind to be so desperate into getting rid of Godzilla that they would summon Ghidorah.

I wonder if the royal family of Okinawa has any Venusian blood. Nami's vision was probably just a way to get things rolling, but if one royal family has alien ancestors, why not another?

GODZILLA: FINAL WARS
Did Gordon actually believe he was capable of trapping Godzilla a second time once the Xiliens had been defeated, or was he trying merely to raise morale of the crew on this desperation plan? Gordon more than anyone should know the only reason they "beat" Godzilla the first time was a fluke earthquake that sent Godzilla to a pit leaving him vulnerable to be buried in the first place.

Honestly, I don't think anyone involved with Final Wars X MOVIE even put that much thought into the film.

Heh, you really just answered all your questions.

GODZILLA VS. SPACEGODZILLA
The blood coagulator bullet Yuki had talked up on Birth Island, could it actually have worked if he used it on Godzilla?

One fan theory presented in an issue of G-Fan suggested that while it didn't kill him, the physiological effect of the coagulant might have contributed to Godzilla's accumulation of nuclear material leading to his Burning Phase in the next film.

GODZILLA'S REVENGE

I probably mentioned this one before, but is Gabara an actual Japanese given name?

Ichiro: Give me my vacuum tube back, Gabara!
Bully: What the hell are you talking about, Ichiro? My name is Fumio! We've been through this before!

Ichiro: Give me my vacuum tube back, Gabara!
Bully: What the hell are you talking about, Ichiro? My name is Fumio! We've been through this before!

From Janus' subtitles:

Minami: Gabara? Never heard of that monster.
Ichiro: I mean Sanko, the bully.
Minami: That brat is called Gabara?

At least from that translation, it's unclear if Gabara is a given name or nickname. "Gabara" is definitely not a real Japanese name, but that doesn't have to be true for the world of Godzilla's Revenge. But that said, I think it's probably safe to say that's just his nickname.

I'm watching Godzilla 2000 right now. And during the scene where the Shinodas go to rescue Yuki, the screen on her laptop seems to be showing some nsfw images.

Where the aliens examining nude humans or is my mind tricking me?

Well the aliens may have just wanted to get all the info they could. I doubt they'd know the context behind it upon scanning Earth's data.

I don't remember him actually being shot, though. Also, if this were a better written movie they would have used the coagulant on Spacegodzilla. If you introduce a bullet in the first act of a movie...

Problems with the narrative structure of Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla?! Who'd've thunk it???

IIRC, Yuki fires at Godzilla but misses.

[Malchik]

I had to go read the plot of the film to remind myself if Godzilla or Spacegodzilla was actually shot by the bullet. I may have watched this move three times in my life as it is so boring to sit through.

The idea was to hit him in the heart. I think Yuki hits him in the claw.

It was actually to hit in in the armpit.

[edgaguirus]

According to Yuki, it was his most vulnerable spot.

[Legendary Minya]

Never got a payoff to that, but damnded if we didn't need to see Yuki's bare ass in the shower!

His penis was probably also very exceptional.

INVASION OF THE ASTRO MONSTER
-Why wasn't Mothra a target of the Planet X people? The reason they desired Rodan & Godzilla was cause they saw their power was enough to repel Ghidorah but Mothra was also part of that battle. Not as if Showa Mothra is immune to mind control as Destroy All Monsters showed.

[Al Diplodocus]

What's the perception of dinosaurs in the Godzillaverse? With the most famous dinosaurs and pterosaurs all being the tail-dragging, scaly creatures the films' public knows, are feathered dinosaurs as well known?

Mothra was a caterpillar when it fought KG, and it's possible that Mothra hadn't turned into its imago stage yet. The aliens felt that Mothra was not a threat to KG, and that Godzilla and Rodan were more powerful as weapons. That's my theory.
