Because Thor and Thors sons are stronger than him (Thor's sons later on are actually stronger than Thor), and it wouldnt look good for the chief god if he isnt the strongest of the "Good" Gods. Plus, Odin is also not really like his son, Thor (for better or worse) and Godzilla doesnt really fit that bill. Yeah, Godzilla is wise, but hes as masculine as it gets and Odin was at times considered the opposite for doing things women were known to do. The only way you could make Godzilla a norse god is if you combined Odin and Thor into one as he has traits of both but doesnt really conform to either more than halfway.MC_Lovecraft wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 1:32 pmNot that I really think it's necessary for Godzilla to be "like" a human god, but why not Odin? He's one of the oldest of the Aesir. He's a god of kings and rulership, and of wise war. He's also extremely dangerous, never crossed and called upon only in greatest need. Sound like anybody we know?Kaijucifer wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:26 amLook theres really not another choice of Chief God that fits better. Odin? No. Jupiter? No. Indra? No. Shiva? No. Crom Cruach? No. Its either Zeus, or Jehovah. And atheists already bash Christianity enough as is, so Jehovah is a no go.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2024 5:14 pm
Zeus was petty and was only revered because he was so much more powerful then everyone else and through around his weight like a little kid. Neither Zeus nor the TFS skit would be good for Godzilla.

Thats all well and good but KotM established Titans as the origins of the myths of old. The implication being that every titan has lore from these stories and has a title bestowed already. Godzilla will ALWAYS be known as Godzilla but that doesnt mean Monarch could uncover some old myths about our big guy as some neat info that wont go anywhere in terms of changing what the consensus of Godzilla's name is - since hed be the chief God in the new One Earth pantheon so to speak, and would just be known as Godzilla, King of Kings.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 12:39 pmGodzilla is who he should act like. The American novels and the showa series already showed Godzilla as the leader of Earth's kaiju.Kaijucifer wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:26 amLook theres really not another choice of Chief God that fits better.

Ironically before GvK came out I was writing a fan story where a pale white anguirus would rise from Hollow Earth (before I knew what itd be like) as the REAL natural rival to Godzilla, only he lost the competition with a scar of a bite on his neck. The kicker: hed have ice powers which i was looking into using pseudo science to explain. Then GvK came out and the amount of uncaring put into everything just destroyed my vision and i gave up, only to arthur-clenched-fist meme when I saw what they did with Shimo lol! But hey i guess someone and I was thinking on the same wavelength at the time.Jeff-Goldblum2 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 4:35 pm I just realized that Shimo is this series Anguirus. Or equivalent.
Think on it. Quadrepedal, very spiky and starts off fighting Godzilla but becomes an ally. Also Rodan gets a fire based glow up, whilst Anguirus/Shimo gets an ice power glow up.
