Godzilla (2014) - - - Part 12

[Brother Jack]

In a way I see it as an extension of the nuclear metaphor. Godzilla kills a lot of people, but he ultimately saves more lives in the process.

To be fair to Godzilla however, he is not even trying to kill people. It's just collateral damage, and he even goes out his way to minimize it.

Yeah, that's the vibe I got from it. Along with him being a near-deity and something above the human parameters of good and evil, emphasizing the "God" in Godzilla. He's too big. You can't judge him in that way.

The problem is that's baggage we're bringing to the film. The film itself more or less does jackall to really connect Godzilla with any kind of nuclear metaphor. Godzilla isn't the consequence of anything.
