Is thinking up even a giant animal just too hard? Is this even most basic expression of creativity simply too much work? Well, there's an even better shortcut we can take when designing our giant monster: just rip off Godzilla! Let's just take Godzilla's design and and just make a copyright-evading modification. There! Done! Ha! Take that, Toho! My legally-distinct totally not Godzilla will assuredly rampage his way through my very own multi-million dollar franchise that fails to copy any of the themes or cultural context that made the original successful.
