Giant Monsters: All Out Assault

The other day, my brother and I got into a discussion about giant monsters, mainly because we decided to have a giant monster movie day. Our discussion was about humans vs giant monsters, and why we believe our modern weaponry might actually be effective.

First off, we have armor piercing weapons, bunker-busters, nukes, powerful drills, and more. Now, if these weapons were turned against giant monsters, they should be quite effective.

Godzilla, for example, is about 100 meters tall. In most movies he is taller than the average sky-scraper. He is known to have powerful regeneration, though not as good as say, Wolverine or Deadpool. Radioactive weapons actually heal and power him up, but in the movies, he would either be hurt by electricity, or powered up. Second, the use of the drill-missiles actually did hurt him. With the wounds created by drill-missiles, all you would need to do is fire high-powered non-radioactive weapons directly into the wounds.

Now Gamera is roughly about 60 meters tall. Quite a bit shorter than Godzilla, but he is a flying turtle. Yep, you can laugh first. I'm going to focus on the Gamera from the 90's movies. The issue with defeating Gamera is that he could essentially revive, because he is tied into a power source known as mana. But what I enjoyed was that humans weren't completely worthless in the trilogy. In fact, human weapons actually could injure, and if they really wanted to, kill Gamera, Legion, the Gyaos, and Iris.

In particular, in the second Gamera film of the 90's, missiles were capable of destroying the tendrils of the Legion Queen. (The Golden Bug) I thought that was quite refreshing, as nice as watching giant monsters fight each other, seeing humans make a difference was also great.

I highly suggest checking out the films, especially if you are a giant monster movie fan.

The simple truth is, as our weapons improve, and our knowledge, we would stand better chances against any super threat. Also, another means to defeat a gigantic creature is to enter it. In the Godzilla film, Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: All Out Monster Attack

They defeated Godzilla when the army captain in a miniature submarine was swallowed by Godzilla. He fire a missile inside of Godzilla and destroyed him from the inside. Regardless of how tough a creature is on the outside, its innards are not as durable or strong.

So, I'm pretty sure that we could hold our own against giant monsters. Also, the new Godzilla film is set to be released in 2014. It's going to be American made, but the early signs show it has a lot more promise than the previous American Godzilla film.
