In an alternate reality where monsters are an everyday fact of life, the Earth is edging closer to Armageddon. The Cold War is still going on. Reagan is still President due to some old Congressional magic, but is currently incapacitated due to Alzheimer's, so H.W. has assumed control. Tensions are thick between kaiju and human; both despise each other for what they've done. On the technologically advanced maze/fortress that is the island of Japan, young and old clash. The country has become a repressive police state. Into this maelstrom come two characters, different and yet very much alike: Godzilla and a schoolboy named Ichiro Tanaka. Godzilla, a relative of the original that perished in '54, is misanthrope; he hates mankind for what's been done to him, and his anger isolates him. From his friends. From his own son. Ichiro Tanaka is a boy without a life. He and his drug-addled Education Mama don't get along well, he has no real friends, and is mostly seen by his peers as a slacker, a geek or something to be stomped on the curb. He's an amateur kaijuologist, has been since his old man died in a G-attack. When Godzilla comes to town for some radiation, Ichiro seizes the opportunity to study him for what he calls "the extra credit assignment of a lifetime." At the same time, a certain three-headed God of Destruction comes to Earth on a meteorite. Ichiro and Godzilla get themselves connected in a way they'd never imagined. Both have choices to make: benefit themselves or save the planet. There will be a Bittersweet Ending.

So Godzilla kills this kid's dad, and then he teams up on Godzilla to go on adventures? Nice filial loyalty.

I do like that King Ghidorah is involved, Godzilla vs. Monster Zero was one of my favorites as a kid. But teaming up a kid with Godzilla brings up painful memories of Godzilla's Revenge.

One word of advice, you might want to edit your post and give it some paragraph breaks, it's a little hard to read as is.

More like pairing an angsty, borderline suicidal teenager with Godzilla than a Kenny.

Personally I would focus on how the geopolitics have changed since the appearance of giant monster from around the world.

For example, if I were to write the story the Alternate Universe would have no 9/11 attack. But that's only because moments before the planes took off the Logan International Airport was attacked by giant subterranean creatures; thus grounding all flights.
