    And you’re not wrong. BUT they called that little guy Godzilla… all while making a perfectly serviceable western monster movie. That’s the rub, they took the name…

    Like the Japanese said “they took the God out of Godzilla”. That’s why in the Japanese film they refer to it as just “zilla” and the villain of the film calls it “useless”.

      I couldn’t agree more! I loved how Japan displayed their feelings about zilla when they had Godzilla face off against it, and dispatch that pathetic excuse for a Godzilla in two shakes of a lambs tail.
