General Godzilla Discussion

[OrianGAME]

What is the source for the one shot? I remember hearing something like that before, but I don’t remember where from.

GvK novelization chapter 19

In GXK anyway, the reason he had to resort to the atomic breath was because the sand made the stomp less effective.

This doesn't prove or disprove the beam being > stats

All of Godzilla’s attacks have split second contact times with their opponent. In terms of output per second, they’re probably similar.

No? His beam has had more contact exposure in litterally every other usage

Godzilla shoves him through a building physically as well. He throws Ghidorah nearly a hundred metres as well at one point.

Again, this just means the his stats are still relative to his beam which i dont think anyone with a brain is arguing against. the AB is still stronger is what im arguing.

How does MG disprove this? Kong never gets hit by the proton scream. He gets hit by the fists but they probably aren’t as hot as the atomic breath, which left scorch marks on Ghidorah (a physical peer to Godzilla, who can get hot enough to from storms) given that they don’t seem to burn Goji’s skin. It’s a common trope in fiction (and it happens irl as well) that characters/animals/people/things can’t take high heats even if the thermal energy is equal to the kinetic energy that their body can take. For example, we accept Bakugo’s explosions as ignoring durability through heat, as they burn characters that take far greater physical attacks.

I can confirm that 1000TonsofFun's post is genuine, as I've seen the same information appear in other publications, including posts from users who have copies of the books.

Anyway, this is all pre evolved stuff. Godzilla changes in between movies. Maybe his atomic breath is greater than his physicals in KOTM and GVK but it’s definitely lower or equal in G14. His physical push on the female MUTO seems more effective than his atomic breath, as are his bites.

His AB was nerfed by EMPs in G14 that's not exacly a fair example

GXK is another entirely different form, that is specified to be like Godzilla went through a workout. We’d need to find proof that the atomic output went up proportionally to his physical strength in this form.

Evo going supercharge is both a 20x increase to his energy (AB) and stats, we know it includes stats since we know it's based on kaio-ken which is a blatant multiplier to everything as we all know, (He specifically compares the 20x multiplier to kaio-ken there's no room for interpretation)

We currently only accept the beam getting 20× stronger on the profile, not his physicals.

GvK novelization chapter 19

All I can see is Mark saying “that’s it for Kong” when Godzilla charges his atomic breath, which does indicate that it would be very dangerous but not definitively a one shot.

This doesn't prove or disprove the beam being > stats

Fair.

No? His beam has had more contact exposure in litterally every other usage

Not against Kong though. Which was the point of comparison originally brought up.

Again, this just means the his stats are still relative to his beam which i dont think anyone with a brain is arguing against. the AB is still stronger is what im arguing.

But if his atomic breath does the same amount of damage to an opponent (that can resist the heat of his atomic breath) as his physical strikes, such as Ghidorah, then there is no real proof that it IS actually stronger.

That doesn’t address my point about heat though.

His AB was nerfed by EMPs in G14 that's not exacly a fair example

That’s not actually the case. The novel of 2014 states that the MUTO EMP stops him from using his atomic breath altogether, and that’s the only even semi-canonical source that acknowledges the EMP affecting his atomic breath.

That’s the logic of a designer who was surprised that Shimo was as big as she was in the final film and who was surprised they kept Mechagodzilla’s buzz saws iirc. He clearly doesn’t have that big of an impact on the film’s story. He even states that this was his logic, not the logic of the filmmakers or Legendary. In fact, the new guide seems to suggest the opposite as he can be knocked out by a Kong who has 10x strength buff rather than a 20x buff.

"That's it" means that it's the end. This is litterally saying the moment Kong get's hit by the AB it's straight up the END of his life

that's it

1. used to say that something has ended: 2. used to say that something is…

Not against Kong though. Which was the point of comparison originally brought up.

Just because Kong never got hit by an actual full output AB doesn't mean he still doesn't die from it

But if his atomic breath does the same amount of damage to an opponent (that can resist the heat of his atomic breath) as his physical strikes, such as Ghidorah, then there is no real proof that it IS actually stronger.

We don't know what degree Godzilla clawed/burned ghidorah, it's entirely possible Godzilla burned/clawed Ghidorah way more than he burned/clawed him

That doesn’t address my point about heat though.

The heat is part of the energy, if Mg has the same energy he should logically have the same heat.

That’s not actually the case. The novel of 2014 states that the MUTO EMP stops him from using his atomic breath altogether, and that’s the only even semi-canonical source that acknowledges the EMP affecting his atomic breath.

I'm not reffering to the novelization im reffering to this source

It says in plain english G14 was weakended by the EMP

I'm assuming you don't know what this is based on your reply so for minor context this is an exclusive filebook that you get from buying one of the big ass statues from EZHobi that spans from G14-GvK (It also includes MUTO Prime)

That’s the logic of a designer who was surprised that Shimo was as big as she was in the final film and who was surprised they kept Mechagodzilla’s buzz saws iirc. He clearly doesn’t have that big of an impact on the film’s story.

That's a behind-the-scenes issue, it's simply not part of his job description to make decisions for the finalized project he's just there to give the basic designs and concept art. Just because he's not all that reliable out-of-universe doesn't mean he's not reliable in-universe, he litterally designed the creatures based on canon lore (e.g: Kong)

He even states that this was his logic, not the logic of the filmmakers or Legendary.

Clearly it is since the film kept the 20x thing

The 20x only applies to Supercharged Evo

Or it means he’s been downed. Also, he was farther away from Goji at that point iirc so it likely means he’d be dead because Goji had grounded/got a hit in on him. The main reason he resorts to the atomic breath is due to the fact that he can’t hit him. In fact, I remember Wingard saying Goji was toying with him in this fight whilst the second fight (where he doesn’t use his atomic breath btw) was the one where his ego was bruised and he was taking it more seriously.

Just because Kong never got hit by an actual full output AB doesn't mean he still doesn't die from it

We don't know what degree Godzilla clawed/burned ghidorah, it's entirely possible Godzilla burned/clawed Ghidorah way more than he burned/clawed him

I was talking about him throwing and shoving Ghidorah in Boston which did about as much damage and sent him flying just as much as the atomic breath.

The heat is part of the energy, if Mg has the same energy he should logically have the same heat.

He has the hollow Earth energy yes, but we know that Godzilla can somehow transfer that energy to nuclear energy and thus has different properties to MG’s attacks.

Oh yeah I heard about that. That guide seems to sometimes contradict canon though, saying that MUTO Prime is 350ft tall whilst we know she is 338ft. Seems to be partly based on info found on the internet, rather than Legendary themselves. But it does seem to get Ghidorah’s cause of defeat accurate to what Dougherty said so idk.

That's a behind-the-scenes issue, it's simply not part of his job description to make decisions for the finalized project he's just there to give the basic designs and concept art. Just because he's not all that reliable out-of-universe doesn't mean he's not reliable in-universe, he litterally designed the creatures based on canon lore (e.g: Kong)

He gets given a brief and follows it, it’s what concept artists do. He based them on canon but he doesn’t write the canon. The writers and directors do that (+the executives at Legendary).

Clearly it is since the film kept the 20x thing

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/9/93/Evolved_MonsterVerse_Godzilla_20x.png/revision/latest?cb=20240411181633

It’s not the same context though. It merely states that he has 20x the energy capacity, whereas Kaio-Ken is explicitly a 20x boost to power output. At best it’s a reference snuck in by the creators.

The 20x only applies to Supercharged Evo

It still seems to mostly apply to the beam though. His performance against Shimo isn’t that different after supercharging, save for his beam being able to make her properly flinch. Though he was able to do that before so maybe he shouldn’t even be considered 20x. That’s a whole other debate though that I’m not gonna get into now.
