Just reading that, I envisioned Russian Roulette memes. I seriously can't see how there wouldn't be a comical side people see to cope with.JAGzilla wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 8:48 amNukes aren't quite the same simply because humans control them. Kim or Putin or whoever can't push the button without killing themselves in the process. Aside from maybe a few religious extremists, very few people are willing to actually go through with that, hence why it still hasn't happened. Nobody wins that war.Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 8:24 amDon't need to. I live in a world where two asshole nations have enough nuclear firepower to end all civilization.

Now imagine a world where, at any moment, a giant monster could rise from the ocean, crawl out of the ground, swoop down from the sky or even arrive from outer space and literally wipe out an ENTIRE CITY.
I still laugh at North Korea, Russia and US ending the world stuff.
Kaiju, meanwhile, are essentially gods. They don't operate on human psychology, they have nothing to fear from attacking us, and we have no control over what they do. If the US and Russia are going to launch nukes, chances are there will be some big dramatic leadup to it. We'll see it coming and have time to prepare. There's usually no warning before a kaiju attack. No predicting it. No human logic to it. It basically sets humanity back a million years, to when the forces of nature were utterly mysterious, and a two thousand-pound bear could stroll into your cave at any moment. All you can do is pray it won't happen to you.
Also... The movies themselves treat the kaiju as funny. Kid was playing with Ghidorah toys in 71, a mere 6 years since aliens used him to attack.
