History NightmareFuel / ShinGodzilla

Being that it was directed by Creator/HideakiAnno, it stands as one of the frenchise's darkest incarnations, and it's not hard to see why.

*** [[FridgeHorror The fact that a great deal of the imagery used when the second form is coming ashore is directly referencing the 3/11 tsunami]].

[[NightmareFuel It's the basic premise of the film.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Godzilla. [[PhysicalGod Truly a God incarnate]]]]''.

* [[NothingIsScarier The entire existence of Goro Maki.]] He was an unseen scientist who studied Godzilla when it was a larvae, and that's all we know. When they find his yacht at the beginning of the film, he's just.. gone.
** The implications are that he commited suicide by leaping into the ocean (the ocean where Godzilla was) and [[FridgeHorror judging on the human characteristics of Godzilla, and this Godzilla's ability to assimilate things..]]

* [[FridgeHorror Think about it for a second.]] Godzilla was frozen at the end of the movie, and while the possibility of him coming back is horrifying, at least he is stopped for now. [[OhCrap What about those independent chunks of flesh blown off of Godzilla that are growing into new ones?]]

* So, turns out that the horrifying monstrocity in the final film is one of the ''tamer'' versions concepted.

* The fact that this Godzilla is shown to be actually trying to reproduce and populate the earth with more like him, with some scenes showing he was trying to ''grow wings'', which will allow him to spread destruction on a worldwide scale.

* The very notion that [[spoiler:Godzilla might thaw out one day and resume attacking in and of itself is terrifying, not just in the fact Godzilla will return, but that America will then follow through on its original plan to drop a nuclear warhead on him and therefore Japan.]]

* The final shot of the movie may also imply something much worse. Look closely at [[spoiler: the creatures spawning from Godzilla's tail. They have skulls, limbs, and a body very similar to that of a human. And we know Godzilla was in contact with humans in the film, implying that it absorbed their cells to create new life forms.]] [[FridgeHorror So what would happen if they got in contact with a more dangerous earth life form?]]

** Especially when you realize what this [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything is reminiscent of]]: not the great blasts caused in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but the Tokyo Firebombings. Said fire bombings caused more destruction to economy, property, and life than '''both bombs combined''', counting as FridgeHorror as well.

** The implications of the final shot are terrifying. Not only does it suggest what might happen if or when [[spoiler: the coagulant wears off and Godzilla begins to move again, but it implies that their plan succeeded when Godzilla was within ''seconds'' of spawning an entire host of monsters.]]

* [[spoiler:Godzilla's night rampage in Tokyo]]. At that time the characters (and audiences) realizes that they're not dealing with a creature, they are [[HopelessBossFight fighting a losing battle]] against ''[[PhysicalGod a god]]''.

* The end of the film [[spoiler:where those humanoids spawn from the tail.]]

** [[spoiler:Losing most of your country's government due to a sudden attack.]]

* And then his jaw splits in half.
