21 Monstrously Stupid Pieces Of Writing In Godzilla
13. Thinking Something Powered By Radiation Can Be Killed By A Nuke
The primary destructive forces of a nuclear explosion are heat, light and the blast wave. The radiation is a largely secondary factor that kills living cells and DNA but not for these creatures, they feed on it. Has nobody on the staff of the Navy boat ever seen a monster movie? To be fair, at least one person does mention that its a monumentally bad idea but she is of course roundly ignored. They know that Godzilla was hit directly with a whole bunch of Nukes in the 50s to no effect so why would this time be any different? Oh, right, thats it, this one is so much bigger it makes the ones from the 50s look like a firecracker. This is the same nuclear weapon that youre about to send to a population centre right? Surely this whole plan is roughly akin to trying to kill a 5 year old by throwing more gummi bears at them? Might make them sick for a while but theyll soon be running about with more energy than you can handle.
12. Catching The Kid, Nobody Saying Thanks
Lets not go on too much about this one but if you lost your kid on a train the way those two parents did, some random guy said hed take care of him, a monster appears and you think hes dead, then he shows up at a rescue centre, do you think youd look for the dude that saved his life? Damn right you would. Youd hug him to within an inch of his life and at the very least get his address so you can send him a card every year. But no, little kid gets saved, his parents pick up him then bail. No where is the man who saved your life nothing.
