[[WMG: King Ghidorah was originally named King Hydra]]
In a case similar to King Joe from the Ultra Series, the name of King Ghidorah was originally King Hydra(pronounced Heedora in Japanese) but was changed because of a misunderstanding/mistranslation. King Heedora - KingHeedora - King Ghidorah.

*** Titanosaurus's ultimate fate is ambiguous, having been knocked over a cliff and then never seen again. It's quite possible he survived, being that weaker Kaiju survived worse.



*** Mothra isn't the only example of a kaiju aging, just the only one that we see in an advanced stage of aging during the almost 70 years of the franchise. Minilla/Minya and Godzilla, Jr. both grow up some over the course of the movies. While it's true that Godzilla has genes that allow him to recover from severe injury fairly rapidly, it's likely he still will age over millennia. The reason cells die isn't due to direct damage, but because of the way chromosomes copy themselves during cell division. The end caps, call telomeres, shorten after dividing too many times. Once they're completely gone, the DNA unravels and the cell kills itself to avoid nonstop continuous replication (AKA, cancer). Real world creatures that live in highly radioactive areas are well adapted to repairing this damage, but still don't live forever. Plus, the Heisei Godzilla starts to have a nuclear meltdown as a result of his aging body no longer being able to absorb the uranium that he absorbed during the explosion at the beginning of ''vs. Destoroyah''. While SOME are likely immortal and ageless, others do have to deal with losing strength and power as the age, eventually leading to their death by either battle or environmental factors.

* It's likely they communicate through a combination of vocalizations and body language like most animals do, and that what just sounds like cackling and roars is actually more nuanced. However, being that we don't understand what it's supposed to mean, it just sounds like noise. This happens in the real world; the word "barbarian" came from the Ancient Greeks thinking other languages sounded like babbling.



** How the hell did he get into that cave, though? Let alone without the Red Bamboo army noticing?

to:

** * How the hell did he get into that cave, though? Let alone without the Red Bamboo army noticing?
* If he was only dy''ing'', he wouldn't have been killed. He'd have to be fully dead.




to:

* Aging slowly is a good enough reason for him not to have gotten much bigger. One species of coelacanth found in the real world doesn't reach its full size or breeding maturity until they're about 50 years old. Some species of tortoise don't reach that stage until 25 years old either. So a prehistoric, nearly immortal monster taking more than a few decades to go through childhood isn't all that strange. But there's also the case to be made that Minilla is... different. His body proportions aren't like his father's or Junior's, having a pug-like face and human-like proportions. This could be a result of just being much younger and less physically mature, or it could be that his development has been affected by being forced to hatch early. There are probably other health-related reasons as well.



** Most modern reptiles are cold blooded, but several lineages including the ancestors of mammals were likely warm blooded. There is also the tegu, a lizard which becomes warm blooded during its mating season but changes back to cold blooded afterwards.




to:

** It doesn't seem likely Gigan would be either a mercenary (being an undead cyborg abomination according to both of his movie appearances), and almost certainly isn't friends with Ghidorah. Ghidorah has appeared as a major threat on his own more often than being controlled by aliens. But pretending to be controlled just for the chance to destroy Earth is very much a possibility.




to:

*** Then this WMG would only apply to the continuity of the dubbed version.




to:

* Sort of canon in the Monsterverse according to its director and head writer, Michael Dougherty. According to him, Godzillas and Mothras have a symbiotic relationship, and often describes it in using romantic or intimate language, like stating that they snuggle together and are actually co-alphas, with her as his equally revered queen. Further material suggests the symbiotic connection between a Godzilla and a Mothra carries very similar mutual affection to what they would share with a mate of their own species.




to:

* Technically the creature you are referring to is still named Godzilla, and his son Godzilla Jr. While the species name was changed after the rights reverted back to Toho, Zilla as the name of a monster refers to a different member of the same species. Trademarks can't be retroactively changed, and the official Toho creature seal used for that movie lists the monster's name as Godzilla even now after numerous home video releases.




to:

* Godzilla is quite frequently depicted as either a mutated but mundane organism (usually a dinosaur) or part of a larger species (The original Godzilla being canon to most other movies which start their own version, plus Minilla and Junion). Godzilla has also been killed several times over the course of the series, including in his debut appearance since every other movie stars a ''different'' Godzilla. But besides that, the Tarrasque is not a unique creature but one who comes from a world where a stable breeding population of the creatures exists - on their own world they are far less destructive and far more active, without the thousand year hibernation cycles.



* According to both of the movies he was in, Gigan is an extraterrestrial kaiju killed by and rebuilt into a cyborg as a biological weapon by alien invaders. He isn't being hired to attack Earth any more than a tank would be.



* This would make sense, since Destoroyah's death was due to being frozen and then smashing into a superheated ground, causing him to explosively evaporate. Being made of microbes, it's quite likely at least SOME of them survived the process, but he only resurfaces in the ''Godzilla Island'' series which isn't canon to any of the movies.



* However, he also takes sick glee in the destruction he engages in. He's one of Godzilla's most brutal and cruel opponents in the entire franchise. So it's more than likely he's legitimately evil. It's also stated that Gigan serves whatever alien race sends him to Earth because they ''make'' him, being that the original version was a "space dinosaur" that served the same purpose on his world that Godzilla does on ours. They killed him and then rebuilt his corpse into a cyborg monster which they can control. The ''Final Wars'' version was similarly a cyborg created by the Xilliens specifically to invade Earth.



It's never specified exactly when the game really takes place in the timeline (beyond 199X), and plans for a movie adaptation went to DevelopmentHell and were ultimately canned, so ''Super Godzilla'' never recieved a proper place in the Heisei timeline. ''However'', due to Godzilla's meltdown taking place in 1995, and the game's date being only 199X, it's plausible that Super Godzilla takes place sometime between 1996-1999, and a possible timeline would be as follows;

** Which would result in constant, indescribable agony. No wonder Godzilla is in such a bad mood all the time.
** That, or he just has so much muscle that he's strong enough ''not'' to get crushed.
** Or, he's full of air sacs and hollows, [[Film/JurassicPark just like a bird]], and those hollows are full of lighter-than-air gasses that make him *just* light enough to float on land (for his drop-kicks and atomic breath-aided flying) and in the ocean (for when he appears to be "standing" in the water).

to:

*** It wouldn't be the first time the supposedly same Godzilla character looked radically different between appearances. Despite the Heisei movies being a single continuous series, Godzilla himself goes through numerous different appearances that vary in proportion, head shape, head size, and color. The ''Final Wars'' Godzilla is also twice the height of either Heisei Godzilla or Junior, meaning if it was Junior he'd have grown even more and possibly going through some development in the process. And the Final Wars Godzilla is actually closer in appearance to the Heisei design than the rest of the Millennium movies, using the traditional design for the spiked plates on the back and a more upright stance.

to:

** The explanation given in the movie is that in the absence of a mate, the mutant iguana Godzilla (not Zilla, who is actually a separate member of the same species) underwent a biological shift that caused him to develop ovaries. This is something that can happen in certain species of reptiles and amphibians. Technically it was originally male and became hermaphroditic. They're also biologically different enough that it's not likely they even could mate, least of all because of a huge size difference.



*** The ''largest'' depiction of Godzilla for years was in the Hanna Barbara cartoon where he was 300 feet tall. Most depictions put him around either 50 or 100 meters tall. The only one that was taller was Godzilla Earth from the anime movies, which was 330 meters tall and was explicitly a mutant tree.




to:

* Godzilla doesn't breath fire. It's a concentrated beam of radioactive particles, called an Atomic Heat Beam. He's actually only 50 meters tall in most depictions, which is about 1 1/2 times the length of a Blue Whale. More recent media put him at around 100 meters, which is definitely much more awe-inspiring but still is still tiny compared to the tallest building in the world and therefore well within the confines of imagination. The Leviathan is said to be able to eat a creature ''three hundred miles long'', meaning its ''food'' could have its head near Athens and its tail near Rhodes.

I originally wanted to try and tie in the Shinei era films but even they have their own stated continuity patterns that would need to be amended. The best possible choice from that period would be Godzilla 2000 because it stands alone in terms of continuity and could either be dealing with the adult form of Junior.
The decision to remove Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah from canon is in part to the rather tricky nature of the time travel plot. Granted it could still fit in- otherwise the opening of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 93 with Mecha King Ghidorah would have to be discounted.

(Despite being released prior to Terror of MechaGodzilla, DAM chronologically takes place at the ''end'' of the Showa era, as its set in the then future year of 1999, while all other films were typically set in the year they were made.)

[[WMG: Godzilla started as a metaphor for the Atomic Bomb, but became a Metaphor for The United States.]]
Godzilla starts out as an unstoppable atomic monster of destruction that ravages Japan, and all the Japanese can do is watch in horror. Eventually as the movies go on, Godzilla stops being a monster that just destroys Japan, but develops eventually into a destructive protector, saving Japan from other newer more fearsome enemies. About the same time that the U.S. and Japan were drifting from former enemies to allies. Godzilla will show up, and fight off the other monsters, doing some damage, but then leaving Japan when the threat is gone. Godzilla becomes a sort of protector, but one you don't necessarily want around, as he causes a lot of collateral damage. Godzilla goes from being enemy, to wary ally, to friend and protector, mirroring the relationship with Japan and the U.S.
