@Mattzillae10@RickDaSquirrel_ The problem with that whole theory is it assumes the US Military knew what only the audience could have known, that Godzilla was regenerating. It also assumes they knew about Murakami's device and Noriko before Murakami even knew about Noriko or that it would even work.
@Based_SpaceGoji If Godzilla had actually nuked New York in 1949 it means we get a Red Sox vs Cardinals World Series instead of Yankees vs Brooklyn Dodgers.
...I'm actually pretty cool with that.😆
This was basically me at @AnimeBoston during a Godzilla panel I hosted saying the exact same thing.
The 1998 Godzilla is a terrible Godzilla film, but of viewed as a generic giant monster movie it's quite entertaining.
@gishigaku Look up Operation PX aka Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night. This was a Navy plan from Admiral Ozawa to use the I-400 submarines to seed the US West Coast with the plague. It was an operation planned in conjunction with General Ishii and Unit 731 personel.
@KonitanJP Noda being Navy doesn't necessarily exempt him from human experimentation or biological warfare. Operation PX was the Navy's plan to infect the US west coast with bubonic plague headed by Admiral Ozawa in 1944-45.
@GWarning89 This isn't even the first time Godzilla attacked New York. Even if you skip the 1998 Godzilla, He still blew up the UN building and NYC waterfront in Destroy All Monsters from the 60s.
@matthewpetz@MonsterIslandB@MoonShark4 I wouldn't be surprised. After all, the mostly destroyed movie theater Ghidorah first flings with the gravity beam after landing in Ginza is the theater Godzilla made it's Tokyo debut in back in 1954. The theater gets destroyed in that film as well as Minus One too.
@yamabukiiro2015@wkQeHhofDTomUdU It could be any of the Iowa class including the in real life unfinished USS Kentucky. We are into alternative history here as even the jet version of the J7W shinden makes a cameo in the background.
@iamdpassword@PreciousUbi__ Ghidorah made his debut in 1964 with Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster, then got the name Monster X in Invasion of the Astromonster, and didn't get called King Ghidorah until 1991 during the Heisei era.
@30MM69708320@KoutaOnaga We dropped Trinity for the sake of experiment. After we knew they worked, we dropped fat man and little boy because your big six war council was too stubborn to stop and kept wasting an entire generation out of foolish pride.
@HubPointless The thing that bothers me about Tokyo SoS is the JSDF built Kiryu to protect against Godzilla and shobijin threaten Tokyo with Mothra demanding the bones get returned and Mothra will protect Tokyo instead. Mothra promptly gets it's ass kicked by Godzilla, leaving Kiryu to defend.
