Godzilla (Gojira)


    Godzilla is one of the many creatures in the Monsterverse. It's a reptile-dinosaur like creature and it's over 100~ meters tall. It has very strong arms and a powerful jaw. It's main weapon is the "Atomic Blast".

    Godzilla is the main protagonist in many Monsterverse films. His first appearance is in the movie "Godzilla", released in 1954. This is the first version of Godzilla, as it can be seen on the left picture. It's body is really thinner than the modern Godzilla, and it's head is more curved. As years go by, 35 more films have been released. And in every new film, we can see Godzilla changing biologically and physically, becoming more stronger than ever. 



 
Godzilla's first ever appearance (Godzilla, 1954)


    There are currently 4 eras of the Monsterverse franchise: Showa, Heisei, Milennium and the Reiwa era. The films released in these eras are made by Japanese studios. But the Godzilla everyone knows today (Godzilla 2014) is an American production. 

    In every film, Godzilla usually fights an enemy. These enemies differ from film to film, or era to era. The one we see the most (both as an enemy or a companion) is Mothra; a giant moth creature. It's followed by King Ghidorah and Rodan. These creatures can be seen on multiple films, but there are also ones we can only see in the comics, like Muto Prime etc.

    The plot of the films usually follows the same thing: Godzilla attacking and destroying an entire city. But why would he do such a thing? Well, in most of the films we can see Godzilla being awakened by some sort of radiation and trying to reach the source of it. This is (most of time) comes from a city. We can also see the fights Godzilla have with other kaijus.

    Godzilla fights with other kaijus in a lot of different ways. Like we said before, he has a strong physic. But his most iconic weapon is his atomic blast. Godzilla can sense the radiation around it and emit the radiation from its source, which powers Godzilla in a terrifying way. We can see this being done in the Godzilla: King of the Monster (2019) movie, where the Dr. Ishiro Serizawa sacrifices himself by detonating a bomb, which literally fuels Godzilla, helping it beat Monster Zero. We can see Godzilla destroy his enemies with his atomic blast multiple times.  





 
Godzilla's "Atomic Blast"


    Yeah, Godzilla is really really strong, but is there only one Godzilla? The answer is, no. There are multiple Godzilla's (since Godzilla died in some of the movies, and the new ones were born), but there are also multiple forms of Godzilla, like SpaceGodzilla and Mecha Godzilla. However the other Godzilla forms are not as friendly as the Godzilla we know. But we'll talk about the other forms in a different post.



Mechagodzilla, appeared in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
