Godzilla should not be destroyed, he should be studied – By Morgan Short, Aug 10, 09
“You have your fear, which might become reality; and you have Godzilla, which IS reality.”
-Ogata from Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956)
Did you know in the original planning stages of Godzilla back in the mid 1950s, he was described as a cross between a “gorilla” and a “whale”? And that’s where his name comes from? “Gojira (ゴジラ) is a combination of two Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ lit. “gorilla”), and kujira (鯨 (くじら) lit. “whale”).”
