Ummmm okaaay.

So they make noises at each other. All monsters do that. But I wouldn't say, in the context of this film, that they're having a conversation. There's no way the people making this movie intended that.

Then as I said we can ignore it.

I've seen Mothra's chirp as a threat to stay away from her egg, and Godzilla's response as saying he's not intimidated.
I'm the plumber. I'm just hanging around if something goes wrong with her pipes. That's the first time I've used that joke in 20 years.

Twice I've been followed by something that was not human, something that attempted to take my life. I believe that was the cat form of Irena.

You're talking a movie that happened after the fact, with a more comical tone and a scene meant to be played for laughs. That's quite the stretch.

Now if you wanna talk Godzilla and Anguirus's back and fourth in Final Wars, that's a different story...

You see in the quote where I day if you think it's OK to back track and if you don't you don't.

There certainly seems to be some communication in the second fight. The twin caterpillars chirp to each other as they approach Godzilla, as if planning their strategy. Godzilla communicates by showing off his atomic ray as a way to intimidate them. Just my take, though.
