I understand that!

But you’d think after the US army was shooting at Godzilla 5 years ago they’d go, “bullets don’t work”

I guess it’s the same reason the Japanese army get using sonic tanks and rockets to no real effect.

I think the idea is that they have to try something, anything, to at least distract the kaiju and buy people in urban centers more time to evacuate. Every second Godzilla spends annihilating an armored battalion is another second that civilians have to flee.

There’s no reason to believe that there aren’t already some kaiju susceptible to conventional military weapons. Hell, we may see that scenario play out with one of the secret kaiju they’ve been teasing.

Legendary should just increase Goji's size in every subsequent movie.

By the time G vs K rolls around, Kong will be fighting way out of his weight class even with a massive growth spurt. Then the final movie could feature a Godzilla equal in size to G: Earth fighting a Death Star sized Space Godzilla.

His dorsal spines should get taller and taller to make him technically taller, just like how the world's tallest buildings used to add bigger and bigger aerials on top whenever an actually taller building got made and broke their record.

I hadn't really got into Godzilla before , but I'm really looking forward to this movie after learning about it recently.

Also, after my mind made several leaps while reading YouTube comments, I'm now half-expecting a "God save the Queen" pun after something like Mothra getting taken down by Ghidorah and Godzilla having to step in. I'm not sure if I'll be more disappointed if they do have someone say that, or they don't, now.

I keep pinching myself, because Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah all look like themselves. Yes, they've been updated, but they're all recognizably those characters. It's so awesome.

Like, look at the Sonic fiasco. There are so many ways the designs could have been ruined.
