The Godzilla (Godzilla, Gojira). American television series that is inspired by the famous Kaiju monster Godzilla. It is the third longest-running film franchise. It has been producing since 1954, though there have been many interruptions. Godzilla is a radioactively mutated reptile that rises from the sea to attack the Japanese city Nagoya. The Godzilla films are very well-known and are the highest-grossing films ever created.

In Godzilla the very first film, Godzilla was simply referred to as Godzilla. This name was chosen by Universal Studios, an American company to avoid any French issues with translation. They decided to name Godzilla instead. Godzilla after a German cartoon. The name stuck and today we have Godzilla, the Godzilla monster. Son Gokura was the original name for Godzilla and can be seen in some of his early films.

In Godzilla the Japanese decide to launch a nuclear strike against Japan in the hope that it will wipe out the Godzilla monster however, instead they destroy the land around them. The result is a massive cloud of nuclear dust released into the atmosphere. Godzilla attempts to eat the cloud, however, he is not able to digest it due to the immense force of the nuclear cloud. To shield Tokyo from the nuclear storm, he uses his final attack.


Godzilla is saved by a dog (a Yoru-onna) who gives him the name of Godzilla. Godzilla fights the Sea Monster, and later the Mother Nature itself. Despite the massive destruction of surrounding areas, Godzilla is able to survive, and makes complete recovery.

Godzilla makes another appearance in the Godzilla reboot movie. This version features green-colored surfaces that distinguish Godzilla from previous appearances. This version is called Gojira in Japan. Godzilla seems to be more aggressive and impulsive than usual. This is evident when he crashes through the battleship, threatening the creatures on the ocean and then slays them with his bite. Some people believe that this is due to the use of radioactive material in the original Japanese film.

In the Godzilla vs. King Kong movie, Godzilla makes a comeback. Here, he is seen fighting King Kong. The battle lasts for about 90 minutes, and both appear equally strong and big. After a few battles, King Kong and Godzilla are defeated and the human race can flee to be safe.

Godzilla is featured heavily in the Godzilla films of the 1990s. After the film was completed there were a lot of special effects done to the creature, making him look even bigger and more powerful. These included swelling and changes in color of the skin of some of him and changes to the tendons and ligaments surrounding his neck. Also, to further help him cope with the climate it was suggested that he acquire the atomic breath ability. He can breathe in and out hydrogen with his mouth and in turn produce a nuclear cloud that could destroy anything or anyone within its path.

Godzilla is known as one of the most iconic creatures on earth and is well known throughout the world. There are many different versions of the manner in which Godzilla died and rose again but ultimately it was a natural process. The radiation from the nuclear bomb that destroyed Godzilla's city reduced him to a fraction of his original size. He was forced to stay in the volcano for three years to fully recover. He was so big that even the radiation that had destroyed the city could not shrink his size when he returned to life.
