Unstable?

I have had a similar theory for a long time, with that much radiation surging through him Godzilla, no matter which version, would have extreme internal body tempatures and would have to stay at the bottom of the ocean to keep cool, so yes I do believe Godzilla spends incredible amounts of time under water in order to cool his natural nuclear reactors.

this would eexplain the "gills". maybe they for taking in water to down his "reactor" and not exactly for breathing

VARA04276 - Indeed! The sheer energy output of such a substantial biological reactor would have to be immense! Even if Godzilla's "yield" is relatively low by nuclear power standards, he would still require a substantial amount of cooling to remain intact! Hmm, I wonder what Godzilla's half-life is...? ;)

This would indeed make sense, the deep sea water would act as a coolant to his engine.

Thank you for sharing this with us Something real :).

DINOBOY22 - What an excellent and compelling notion! Very interesting! :)

Godzilla's  liking of water would definitely indicate your cooldown idea as true. but evolution into an amphibian is, no offense, pretty farfetched. yet this is a fictional movie, where something like that seems possible. the radiation is probably stored very safely in his body, where it shall never escape and only cause damage to himself.

GORILLAGODZILLA - hahaha! You're most welcome! I'm very pleased you found this topic interesting! :)

Very possible. Maybe his Atomic Breath is the way he can relieve the pressure, and was utilized into a weapon, and eventually controlled.

THE DOCTOR - All things being equal, I'd rather not have to watch Godzilla die in the same manner he did in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. That was bloody heartbreaking! If you don't mind me asking, how is an organisms evolution into an amphibious mode of life in order to suit its biological needs far-fatched? Whales were land-based animals whom gradually took to the sea in order to secure a better life. :)

GOJIRA2K - Now THAT is a very interesting hypothesis! Thank you ever so much for adding this to the discussion! I'll definately consider its implications for some time to come! :)

Something Real, your welcome! Maybe to add on that, if the Godzilla has the Nuclear Pulse, it could be the same thing, just a different way of relieving the pressure that could be utilized.

The official infographic site says that this Godzilla's breath weapon is created when he uses his atomic energy. In the novel, it's said that the breath is actually super-dense plasma. Both would mean that, by using up his atomic energy reserves, he can ignite and create intense plasma that can cause damage to the likes of other giant animals, like the MUTOs, and like the other monsters appearing in the sequel and possible sequel to that.

THEGMAN123 - Very interesting! I rememebr the "super-dense plasma" notion from the novel; I thought it was quite interesting! Thank you so very much for the information you've provided! :)

GOJIRA2K - Definately! That would relieve a great deal of the nuclear buildup in one go! :)

I might make a discussion about my theory. What do you think?

I could see this being the case for the incarnations besides showa who appears to be more terrestrial than aquatic.

I never thought of this... It seems like it would work.

DURP004 - I know exactly what you mean! Showa Godzilla really did seem to prefer the land as opposed to water! An excellent point! :)

Most of this makes sence, exept that sea wataer due to soudium and other minerals is not ideal for cool down, In the japanese 2011 earthquakem when the Nuclear power plant started to meltdown and the water cooling system whas disabled, the Sea water did little to help and Ultimatkkey the Nuclear power plant started to leak radiation

GOJIRA2K - I think that's a fantastic idea! Go for it! :)

JRR - What an excellent counter-point! I recall quite a bit of the information concerning that particular incident and you're quite right, the sea water did little to halt the progress of the leak. Do you suppose that the sea water draining into the facility wasn't cold enough - say, like that which is located int he deeper reaches of the ocean? :)

Will post tomorrow then.

GOJIRA2K - Excellent! I can't wait to see it! :)

Am working on it know.
