| adriane23 said: I didn't misunderstand anything. It sounds like you took Ken Watanabe's character too literally when he described how nature balances itself out. That balance he was speaking about is the predator/prey relationship. Godzilla did not represent nature itself, he represented half of the relationship. In theory, that isn't impossible with an animal that size, actually. Blue whales can communicate up to 1000 miles disregarding noise pollution. Even if you take into consideration the speed at which sound travels through water as opposed to air, the MUTOs could've been communicating wih sound over that large of a distance seeing as how the smaller MUTO was 2-3 times larger than a blue whale. An EMP powerful enough to travel that far would disrupt eletronics everytime they tried to communicate. A low energy EMP wouldn't make it that far, and an EMP strong enough to travel that far is essentially a nuclear explosion each time. |
It's not just about Ken Watanabe's line. Since his birth in the 1954 film, Godzilla has represented nature biting back, whether it be punishing man for our nuclear sins, or in this case neutralizing a monster we awoke. It is well established in canon across 60 years and dozens of films. It's not just a throwaway line, it's a reference to a core element of the character that has been well established in series lore.
And this being a giant monster movie, perfect realism is out the window from the start. But the pulses the male emits before birth are concluded by the characters to be communication with the female; they only become a weapon after the male notices that what was presumably a cry for help conveniently disables his tormentors.
