Godzilla (Japanese: ゴジラ, Hepburn: Gojira, /ɡɒdˈzɪlə/; [ɡoꜜ(d)ʑiɾa]) is a fictional monster, or kaiju, that debuted in the eponymous 1954 film, directed and cowritten by Ishirō Honda.
The Aratrum used its hyperdrives to return to Earth, but its crew found that over 20,000 years had passed, and that Godzilla was still alive on the planet's surface.
And now scientists have discovered the real-life Godzilla - a huge aquatic lizard that dominated the Pacific seas 72 million years ago. The Wakayama Soryu, meaning Blue Dragon, was as big as a Great White Shark and used its four huge flippers to move quickly through the water.

King Kong, also referred to simply as Kong, is a fictional giant monster, or kaiju, resembling a gorilla, who has appeared in various media since 1933.
Godzilla long been called the “King of Monsters,” but recent movies seem to have forgotten that. In the Monsterverse, Godzilla has acted more as an antihero and protector of humanity, the guardian who keeps far worse things from being birthed into the world.
We [humans] have helped create an imbalance [in nature], and Godzilla moves in to right the balance. He is not our 'hero,' but represents something greater — he is saving us in the process of righting the balance. Alex Garcia describing Godzilla's motives.
SPOILERS FOR GODZILLA: THE PLANET EATER There is at least one monster which not only can kill Godzilla Earth, but has apparently killed numerous other Godzillas (and destroyed the planets they inhabited) and was very close to killing Godzilla Earth before being sabotaged. King Ghidorah (キングギドラ Kingu G…
Unlike its evolutionary marine ancestors who dined more placidly on mollusks and small fish, Godzilla preyed on reptiles of the deep sea in the days of the dinosaurs but finally went extinct during the great mass extinction of 65 million years ago -- cause of death unknown, say its discoverers.
Most Versions Of Godzilla Are Prehistoric Mutated Reptiles
Perhaps because he lived so deep in the ocean, his species never went completely extinct. Due to nuclear testing in the 1950s, Godzilla was bombarded with gamma radiation, which caused him to undergo a massive physical transformation.
Many of the world's largest vertebrates, including titanosaurs, walked on four legs and held their heads in front of their bodies, which prevented the heart from pumping blood against gravity. But Godzilla walks on two legs, and this would necessitate vast amounts of energy to push that blood up to the head.
Godzilla's strength has been officially confirmed to be greater than Superman's, as shown in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 preview. This feat of strength proves that Godzilla can easily defeat other Kryptonians, such as Supergirl and General Zod.
He can die. Every Godzillas died from events: like the oxygen destroyer, his nuclear meltdown, mechagodzilla, who kill Godzilla, but got revived by Rodan and even Spacegodzilla or Destroyah could kill him, but didn't. Even Hedorah's sludge melt godzilla's to his bones. His skin is not invulnerable to anything.
In the 1954 film, Godzilla is portrayed as a tragic monster who lashed out at humanity by destroying any boats that he encountered and later rampaging across and destroying Tokyo in retaliation for the destruction of his home and death of his family by an American H-bomb test.
In films that depict Godzilla as an aggressor, we rarely know why Godzilla is angry enough to invade Tokyo. Presumably, he is provoked by war, pollution, industrialization, and of course, the dropping of the A-bomb. Loud noises, bad smells, and humanity's general disregard for the natural world invoke his wrath.
After provoking him with gunfire, Maia and the Apex team's HEAV is crushed by Kong. Kong, Andrews, Jia, and Lind ascend to Hong Kong, where Kong engages Godzilla in a ferocious final battle in which Godzilla emerges victorious, leaving Kong nearly dead.
Kong is portrayed as a tragic and sympathetic animal and lives a very solitary and difficult existence, constantly being attacked by the ferocious giant creatures that live on Skull Island.
The short answer is no. The largest primate to have ever lived is the Gigantopithecus (“giant ape”), which lived in Asia as recently as 100,000 years ago, possibly dying out due to environmental changes or even falling prey to early hominins.
Kong attempts to fight off the Navy biplanes on top of the Empire State Building, but ultimately falls to his death as Ann (Naomi Watts) watches in despair.
Instead, a giant ape sometimes dubbed the “real King Kong” was driven to extinction by climate change that put its favorite fruits out of reach during the dry season, according to new research published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
