** The coagulant wasn't to make Godzilla freeze, it was to make him SCRAM, SCRAM being an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor. The coagulant would slow down/stop Godzilla's blood circulation, which would spike the temperature in Godzilla's internal reactor. To prevent excessive heat build-up (remember that Godzilla had to return to the ocean to avoid overheating), Godzilla would start dumping fuel. This would continue until Godzilla had completely dumped it's core, thus rendering it permanently inert. Remember that during the climax, they're monitoring the radiation being expelled by Godzilla, which increases as the operation continues.

** Godzilla got the way he is by eating radioactive material in the ocean. Maybe his original supply ran out and now he's looking for more. Japan has a large number of nuclear power plants, after all. Maybe he can sense trace levels of radiation caused by the power plants. (But since power plants are well-shielded, Godzilla can only pick up a faint scent and thus can't figure out exactly where they are. This explains why he wanders around instead of making a beeline for the nearest power plant.)

[[folder:Godzilla's metabolism.]]
* So, they state that Godzilla in this film runs on nuclear fission. Okay. . . then how can he survive "anywhere there's water and oxygen?" Fission requires heavy radioactive elements, so shouldn't he be behaving more like [[Film/Godzilla2014 the MUTOs]], and going after nuclear power plants and weapons to ingest heavy fissionables to fuel himself?

* I may have just missed something, but shouldn't the coagulant have had the opposite effect? If Godzilla's blood coagulates, that means it gets thicker and has a harder time flowing. Since the flowing blood is what cools Godzilla down, shouldn't coagulating the blood made him overheat rather than freeze? A blood thinner would have cooled him off. I don't know if this is a YouFailPhysicsForever, or if I'm not getting something. Could someone with a better physics/medical background set this straight?

** Godzilla developed a defense against it. There's a scene where they sent a camera drone to check on the sleeping Godzilla but it was shot down when it got within a certain range. Then the American guy states that Godzilla has a radar ability which he uses subconsciously. That's why they had to sacrifice droves of drones. Bear in mind that this Godzilla's special ability is his adaptive evolution.

[[folder:Attacking a sleeping giant]]
* When Godzilla went dormant, why didn't they attempt to bombard him with high-penetration ordnance again? The bunker-busters certainly wounded him, as they caused huge splashes of blood from the back of his neck, and the USAF could have regrouped and rearmed its bombers long before Godzilla awoke again or regained the power to shoot down attackers. Heck, just a bunch of unmanned trains filled with explosives were able to hit him head-on without any difficulties, so why not bomb him again? If they were fearing retaliation, risking another rampage is still a better option than nuking Tokyo.
