| adriane23 said: Now you're basically just repeating yourself. Just like you say that perfect realism is out the window in a monster movie, so is coherence in a franchise that's lasted this long. It makes absolutely no sense that a predator shows up just to fight other big monsters and not see them primarily as a food source. It's just ridiculous and a plot point like that would actually make the movie complete garbage, so why do you believe in it so much?. It's 2014, not 1954. That kind of plot just doesn't fly anymore, especially for a serious movie. In this movie, Godzilla is the predator and the MUTOs are his prey. That was specifically said and I really don't understand why this basic facet of the plot bothers you so much. The pulses before birth were concluded to be a method of echolocation, yes. They were not EMP blasts as the electrical equipment didn't get shut down until the monster started to hatch or until the military tried to kill it (I forgot which happened first). Which goes back to my first point. To be able to communicate that far of a distance with EMPs would disrupt electrical equipment for several miles each time the monster wanted to say hello. But you know what, maybe the people that made this movie were that dumb in not understanding how EMPs work, even though they were trying to bring some semblance of realism to this genre of movies. That's entirely a possiblility, but I don't think it's likely. This has to be the most pointless argument I've had in my life. Reply if you want, I don't care anymore. |
The Godzilla in this film is a culmination of 60 years of series lore. If it were strictly a predator/prey dynamic, he would have eaten the dead Mutos. He didn't, because he was not there looking for food; he was fulfilling his established role as nature's strong right arm, restoring balance.
Your average moviegoer is not going to know much about the range an EMP can travel, so the filmmakers had soome leeway there.
