US Military Confident it Could Stop a Real-Life Godzilla Attack

[Chaos Isaac]

Considering how weak the MUTO and Godzilla were in this movie.

Yeah, the military could rip right through them. Especially if they were used, iunno, even fairly competently unlike that (relatively bad) movie.

I think they could pull it off. For a few reasons, even:

1- They have a lot of gear specifically designed for throwing a lot of dakka at a target. People in other countries may make the situation we're in over in the Middle East, but that's not conventional fighting. Not even close. This is a straight up test of "do we have more firepower than Godzilla has armor/regeneration?" We have a lot of firepower.

2- They most likely wouldn't be alone, whether Godzilla showed up in Japan, the USA, or the middle of the Caribbean. A giant monster that can destroy houses by glaring at them hard enough is going to get the entire world's attention. So it's going to attract lots of ordnance from lots of people who don't want to be stepped on after Godzilla is done stepping on people wherever he decided to show up.

3- They wouldn't make the stupid mistakes the army makes in every goddamn monster movie, like trying to overwhelm a behemoth with small arms fire. See point 1.

Captcha- "say cheese!" no u.

Godzilla survived at ground zero of an asteroid, which means he could tank the Tsar bomba (a meteor that could fit Monster X inside would need to be at least his height, 120 M, and a 120m meteor has a kinetic energy output of 64 Mt)

Unless Godzillas skin is tougher than 60ft of bunker grade steel reinforced concrete

Which it is. No, that doesn't make sense, but neither does the whole concept of Godzilla, so it's a moot point if we're already seriously considering what would happen if the US military did battle with him. Arguing that we could kill Godzilla is like arguing we could kill Superman or Goku. All of them just kinda do whatever they want.

Godzilla will be crushed by it's own weight so anyone including myself can stop a godzilla, we just need to stand there and watch him fall.

So you think you can defeat Godzilla just by simply doing nothing & let your guards down(without having to do anything)?!

Godzilla's supposed to be resilient enough not to get crushed under his own weight & aren't wide pillar-like legs perfect for supporting huge weights?!

I was thinking of practical ways I would take on Godzilla, and had a thought about what it would be like to see a battle between Cthulhu and Godzilla. Obviously our minds for the most part would be reduced to insane dribble but, you know, it'd be kind of neat...

Although, all things considered, we would be rooting for GODZILLA in that case. Dealing with a creature that only destroys one population center at a time is LOADS better than the shit Cthulhu would bring.

OT: If Godzilla was real, physics would take care of the problem for us. The square cube law would mean Godzilla would be crushed by his own weight as soon as he stepped to shore, assuming his bones weren't made of Titanium.

If any film version came coming, we would be all kinds of royally fucked against him.

unless Godzilla's skeleton was like that of X-men's Wolverine but unfortunately no animals in real life were born with the type of bones like those coated in titanium or diamond.
