Godzilla’s Fight On Odo Island Is A Callback To Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
A Young Godzilla Was Attacked By Humans On An Island In World War II In 2 Different Movies
Godzilla ’s introductory scene inGodzilla Minus Onecomes across as a reference toGodzilla vs. King Ghidorah . A prison term travelling mission to Lagos Island during World War II saw members of both the Japanese and American military encounter a Godzillasaurus , the dinosaur that would eventually mutate into Godzilla . Before time travel was used , it was understood that Godzilla saved the Japanese from the Americans , but after changes to the timestream , the fresh reality was thatthe Americans had injure the Godzillasaurus with their weapons . It ’s this development that draws comparisons toGodzilla Minus One .
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorahnotably used this wrench to justifty lead away the expansive reputation Godzilla had cultivated over the eld . As a outcome of what happened , the master characters returned to present - 24-hour interval Japan to find that Godzilla was more baleful and unforgiving than ever . Clearly , it was Godzilla ’s unsound experiences with humanity in his youth that turned him against them . Godzilla Minus One’sOdo Island aspect ( which also postulate place in World War II ) echoed this notion , as it too showed a young Godzilla getting violently blindsided by soldier , likely instill in him a hatred of humanity .
The Odo Island Fight Is A Reminder Of Humanity’s Responsiblity For Godzilla
In a sensory faculty , the fighting on Odo Island and Lagos Island respectively are poignant reminders of the duty human beings bear for the threat Godzilla poses . His very cosmos is owed to their actions , as it was the use of atomic weaponry that transformed him into a gigantic , radioactive demon . But as these incident bear witness , there ’s even more to it than that . Similar to what transpire on Lagos Island inGodzilla vs. King Ghidorah , it was the humans that make first blood inGodzilla Minus One . By attacking him , they unwittingly shew their species as a threat to Godzilla .
Images of beat fish recur throughout Godzilla Minus One . Is it just a signaling of Godzilla ’s destruction or does it slyly bode the close ?
There ’s no validation inGodzilla Minus Onethat their relationship with him would be any different if they did n’t sprout at him on Odo Island , butifGodzilla vs. King Ghidorah’sstory is any indication , things could indeed have play out other than . Before time travelling changed account , Godzilla was n’t a true baddie in the picture , which operate to show that humanity had shaped him into one . If the same is the case for the King of the Monsters inGodzilla Minus One , that means there might have been likely for a different moral force .
Could Godzilla Be Anything Other Than A Villain In Godzilla Minus One?
While the 2023 moving-picture show utilized Godzilla strictly as a baddie , there ’s at least a chance he could receive a different role in a potentialGodzilla Minus Onesequel . Theoretically , Godzilla ’s resurrection could resume the cycle of violence , as he could retaliate against the humans for what happen in the film ’s end . Or , it could witness a way of life to give him - and the humans - a fresh start . If what was left behind of Godzilla at the end ofGodzilla Minus Oneregenerates into a unexampled edition of the kaiju , he could have no memories of what happened , and therefore no existing beef with the Japanese .
By leaning into this mind of a brisk start in aGodzilla Minus Onesequel , the picture show can return to Godzilla to the anti - hero roles he occupied in the Heisei and Millennium eras . It ’s hard to ideate him ever being the hero he is in Legendary ’s Monsterverse , but a scenario where Godzilla leaves the humans in peace - as long as they do the same - does n’t feel implausible . Whether or not that happens , though , could be up to the homo .
