Godzilla looking at the nuke and making a sound that was like "huh"? I like to think when the smoke clears he's still looking at the same spot where the nuke went off still trying to figure out what the hell he was looking at.
I like to think he got knocked on his ass from the explosive power. No damage or anything, just like "hey you pushed me over, now I'm full...I'm confused" 😂😂
ive always warned my oponents with simple but very clear warning.." if you decide to fight me, make sure you knok me out on the 1st hit or will spend a month in the hospital, i wont be forgiving" good thing this thing is very forgiving ..or the movie would be called human extinction
no its not. They even have a making of the episode you can watch about they purposely made him slimmer and shorter. His back spines are also less defined.@@TWDub
If gradually absorbing radiation from the bomb is like eating a Popsicle, then having it exploded in front of your eyes must felt like a delicious pie being thrown to your face.
@@unrealbot3027Nope. I don't think that's worth overlooking, especially at this point before the physical growth from later radiation. However, I don't know if the impact of the blast is concussive enough to knock him out. I'd imagine it's probably like getting a water balloon to the face on a hot day. It feels good. But the impact stings for a few.
What I love about this scene is that it gives us a personal and in depth look at what happened during the 1954 bombing of Godzilla, like it’s so cool, especially since in the first Godzilla film we only little clips with a 1950’s style quality to it now we actually get to see what went on
Only issue i have is them picking Operation Castle Bravo, and then botching its portrayal, when its one of the most most well documented fumbles of the Nuclear Era. hell you can literally look up the videos of Castle Bravo. In fact, the imagery they went with was more akin to Operation Crossroads: Shot Baker, an underwater test.
This is why he goes out of his way to kill monsters that are trying to destroy human civilization.. We give him food.. So he's kind of like a overgrown cat..
@@Xer405 tell me what cares whether it was fried with 150 milion degrees for a split of a second or 2 seconds. Everything evaporates within the split of the second, time becomes irrelevant.
hahaha yeah, for zilla is like some food for free and i think thats why not kill human kind, because for him humans is trying to feed and gain his trust
I think the idea that godzilla would be fine with a nuke to the face is pretty silly. A nuke emits radiation sure but that has nothing to do with the thermal energy and pressure wave that would either kill or severely weaken any toho godzilla. To compare it to your pizza anology, sure you eat pizza but you cant eat 100 million degree pizza that's being hurled at you in massive quantities at thousands of miles per hour.
I am just happy to see Godzilla again in the show, even if he's not there for long. The connections made to previous films are great to add more context.
@@krane15Id say it's more so because they just didn't know enough about Godzilla and his abilities. If they knew he absorbed radiation, they never would've done this
I love how Godzilla even makes a little "Huh?" sound right before the nuke goes off. Also if you pay close enough attention it sounds like you can hear his atomic breath when the bomb goes off, maybe it was him absorbing the radiation or the producers just wanted to add the little sound easter egg. The close attention to detail of making Godzilla slimmer and less bulked before the explosion than how he is in 2014 is also a nice touch since the nuke to the face hasn't juiced him up yet
First time humans shed tears for Godzilla. It's so good to see a scene giving him so much sympathy after it was completely absent in Godzilla vs. Kong.
If he was still around for the movies with Kong maybe. Godzilla was given sympathy in his solo movies which is why the next one should be about him so he can shine.
Because in GvK, Apex Cybernetics was messing with Godzilla and most of the movie was from Kong's POV, other than the scenes with Millie Bobby Brown who is completely on Godzilla's side. It isn't until the climax that the tide changes with both Kong and Godzilla being on the same side.
For the Japanese (on Monsterverse), Godzilla is their Superman, a mysterious figure that coming out of nowhere to save humanity. For them, he's the icon and a hero and they know they can't beat him, they have to worship him. That's why in KOTM, Serizawa is so mad to see those Americans defeats him with Oxygen Destroyer and also see him as a threat while for his POV, he's his childhood hero who just want to save the humanity from big monsters. He's even sacrificing his life to save his hero.
The center of a nuclear explosion can reach 100,000,000 oC, and Godzilla survived that. Our sun's core is 15,000,000 oC, so that means Legendary Godzilla could travel through the sun and out without a worry.
Well no... , it only reaches that temp for a split second, the sun also outputs a lot more energy even if it's not as hot. That's like saying a human can easily go near the sun, cause we can survive a lightning strike, which in a split second can reach 28,000 oC which is 5x hotter than the surface of the sun
0:14 that sound Godzilla made in the distance reminds me a lot of the sounds the 1998 Godzilla or “Zilla” made when he swam through bays and was hiding underneath New York. I actually enjoyed that film, would be cool to see Zilla make a return as sub species of Godzilla all-be-it maybe more agile and faster. Kind of like the New Kong subspecies will get in the next movie.
My fav part of the entire episode, honestly I wish that they would've shown him standing there unphased by the bomb instead of running back into the sea, giving a real sense of dread to the US military, that would've been awesome
@@user-lc5of7jh5gI don’t remember the 2014 movie stating that they thought this had killed him, just that it was an attempt to. If this episode doesn’t show him surviving, maybe the next one will (haven’t seen the episode myself).
I like how Godzilla's groan is like a warning/siren. Also, it's hilarious how Godzilla looks at the bomb and is like, "wtf is this thi--" and immediately gets blown up.
Even tho all they did was "feed" Godzilla, that scene was actually very powerful. I mean, we all know that a nuclear weapon is far from capable of hurting Godzilla, but the scene is so well made that you almost believe that they actually killed him.
I like the detail of the physics behind sound traveling at a certain speed as you see Godzilla roaring slightly before you can hear the roar, which makes sense due to how far away they are
That's why Godzilla is so in love with humanity and keeps bringing balance to the world because the government and military surprised him with a birthday cake and party on his birthday.
Keiko thought they were killing something beautiful, in reality humanity kept feeding him. Meaning the only reason Godzilla was strong enough was because of nuke tests making Keiko the antagonist here. It's a interesting dynamic
It's all fun and games till you realize it was his preworkout. Then he turns around and looks at the military, and heads towards them to absolutely demolish the beach with pushups.
@@chummygun You're right, they were testing lingerie designs at Bikini Atoll for Ep3. lmao. Whatever drugs you are using, keep it up you're clearly having imaginative fun.
I will say, it’s interesting that they scaled down Castle Bravo in this show’s universe. In G2014, it’s stated that the bomb they used on him in 54’ was in kilotons, and in both this series and the film, it looks like a recreation of Little Boy, the 17 kiloton bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The real Castle Bravo was a test to determine if a lightweight design of a “hydrogen” atomic bomb was feasible for airborn use. It ended up not only being successful, but had an explosive equivalent of 15 MEGATONS of TNT. Almost 1000 times stronger than Little Boy. Essentially, you wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere near that chain of islands when that bomb went off, and given where Godzilla was standing, he would have been inside the fireball, and would have had the ground disappear underneath him. The fact that theoretically, he could have survived the real Castle Bravo is a feat comparable to momentarily standing inside the sun.
I love how they found a way to bring the classic orgin story into the monsterverse Godzilla's backstory. Every other Godzilla: an undiscovered still living Dinosaur gets exposed and mutated by the H-bomb tests. This verison: he was already Godzilla, but the H-bomb "tests" made him bigger and gave him his atomic powers.
he really don`t care about humanity, all he cares about is earth and the other kaijus, everything else is none existent for him. even in the 2014 movie he killed many many humans while fighting in the city and in hawai, he really don`t give a fu.. about humanity at this point in time. we are just not existent for him.
He wasn't skinny. It's literally the exact same 3D model they used in 2014. The only reason he looks skinny is camera angles and the fact it's been almost 10 years since most fans saw 2014.
@@TWDubit's not though, it's literally a slimmed down GareGoji with shorter spines. Even if that wasn't the case, it still definitely isn't the same model being reused lol
Even in this, Godzilla still looked massive What I do wonder is if in this universe he developed the atomic breath in this moment or if he already had it
Did he not appear afterward like completely unscathed? He's just standing there menacingly after all mushroom cloud disappears, looking at the humans... that would've been sick.
I found this scene to be quite haunting. There's so much going on thematically. The hubris of man. The awe of nature. People versus systems. Most importantly, the depiction of a Japanese woman attempting to stop a nuclear detonation. Then weeping for all they could have learned from the creature that - they believe - they just destroyed. Echoes of Dr. Yamane from the original Gojira. It's powerful stuff. This show is incredible.
Nice perspective! Found this quote worth sharing. What we don’t understand, we fear. What we fear, we judge as evil. What we judge as evil, we attempt to control. And what we cannot control…we attack. -Mr. Unknown For this scene, the military was pretty chill about it. None of them have weapons on them. It's like they're knew the nuke is a treat for everyone there. There is also a hidden message. Godzilla represent Japan. After the nuke, there was no retaliation and the Japanese woman is now subdued.
Shallow echoes of Yamane, while he did want to study Gojira he still also understood what it was doing and moreso grieved that Humanity would inevitably recreate Gojira, not that they did kill it
@andrewmeyer3599 I mean, I'd argue that Yamane *was* grieving for Godzilla's death in some way. To him, Godzilla represented an invaluable opportunity to learn how living things could survive a nuclear detonation, or at least survive the fallout. But it's obviously a lose-lose situation. That aside, I'm not arguing that Dr. Miura and Dr. Yamane share the same plight here. I'm just saying there are parallels 🤷♂️
One fact is that titans can perceive radiation in objects or places with a type of infrared vision, so Godzilla probably knew perfectly well that atomic bomb had enormous amounts of radiation (snack for him)
Not entirely accurate. Before detonation atomic bombs have only trace amounts of radiation. Just enough to trigger the fission chain reaction. It's AFTER they detonate that their full radioactive potential is unleashed. And prior to this, there's no "sensing" the potential of it because it literally doesn't exist yet until after the chain reaction has occurred.
@@_martian101wrong. U-235 is a naturally decaying element and continuously emits both particle radiations like alpha and beta (majority of the radiation) and a small amount of electromagnetic gamma radiation. People working around atom bombs still get exposed to higher than normal radiation levels and sometimes it does become harmful (especially during the 50's where protective gear from radiations weren't as well developed as today's)
@@Gojira3445still impressive nonetheless. Imagine nuking someone only to find out they tanked the blast and everything just fine, and only died due to what's basically too much food
@@professionalfurret7225 My statement was mostly about extreme radiation events like in GvD or KOTM as opposed to the castle bravo blast. What happened in this scene was not even remotely life threatening.
One of the best cinematic or TV-series' brief scenes/clips I've ever watched.That's for sure.Just the whole damn combination..I literally got teared up.Just the slightest...loool..Ngl.. SUBARASHIIIIII....The best American (single-shown) Godzilla media to date.Indeed😶🙄😁😬
2:05 That Godzilla's expression of confusion is so genuine, i love it It shows how Godzilla isn't just some overgrown radiactive mutant Dinosaur, but's capable of expressing levels of intelligence and emotions He was like: "Huh? What the fuck is this?" 😅
Some of the characters are a bit annoying on the 2010's plot line with the daughter and the tech-sis constantly being assholes to everyone. But I agree, great start so far!
@@markfroman738 Agreed. The characters in the 50-60s time-line are a lot stronger. The plot is a lot better so far too. Seeing the rose of Monarch is a lot more interesting than family drama
I love how this ties into the opening credits of Godzilla (2014). That film did so much heavy lifting of the world building that the Monsterverse is built on. Glad the show appreciates it!
Me and my dad (watching together) pointed out that the boom occurred way sooner than the shockwave so it was inaccurate, but several other things I didn’t notice the first time were Godzilla’s little “huh” before the bomb went off and that the bomb was actually Castle Bravo. Very great series, I’m grateful to see the revival after a few years of gap.
The sound design here is kind of the inverse of the seismic charge from Star Wars; the bass drop accompanies the initial explosion, but as the shockwave that would carry the actual sound of the explosion rushes in, all you hear is a blast of wind, and then silence.
We know from Dominion that Godzilla is very aware of human technology. With nukes being new then as well as him being aware of the nearby humans, he was probably wondering why such intense radiation is coming from a human device.
In Godzilla 2014, Dr. Serizawa and Dr. Graham explained that Castle Bravo were a series of tests trying to kill Godzilla, *TESTS* . So my theory is this scene’s the first attempt, while the G14 opening credits showing Godzilla’s spines breach the water is the final test. It explains why Godzilla is much slimmer before bulking up ‘cause he kept absorbing the nukes.
They explained that the bomb TESTS (as they were explained back then) were not bomb tests at all but attempts to kill GodZ. They weren't test attempts to kill him. They were genuinely trying to kill him with each bomb. They weren't aware then that the nukes strengthened them, only attracted them. This scene wasn't making it exactly like the quick clips because they had to expand it for interest.
Wasn't the opening shot of 2014 supposed to be the bikini atoll test tho? It'd be quite weird if they detonated several of those and went unscathed..but monsterverse logic is monsterverse logic I guess
1:24 notice there was a lag between between Godzilla's roar and when you actually hear it. Sound travels slower than light; that's why you see a bolt of lightning before you hear the thunderclap. They nailed the science for a sci-fi series!
