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 it€™s 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 50€™s to no effect so why would this time be any different? Oh, right, that€™s it, this one is so much bigger it makes the ones from the 50€™s look like a firecracker. This is the same nuclear weapon that you€™re 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 they€™ll soon be running about with more energy than you can handle.

12. Catching The Kid, Nobody Saying Thanks

Let€™s 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 he€™d take care of him, a monster appears and you think he€™s dead, then he shows up at a rescue centre, do you think you€™d look for the dude that saved his life? Damn right you would. You€™d 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 €œwhere is the man who saved your life€ nothing.
