Coming up, The Story of Godzilla, without plot armor.
Number 1 - Godzilla vs Mutos
To begin our plot armorless set of stories we will travel back in time to 2014.
During this point in the Monsterverse timeline the world witnessed monsters of titanic proportions
battle it out in Honolulu Hawaii and in San Francisco California.
It is here however where the Gman pulled up to not just one, but two Mutos who came together
to bring about the next generation of muto species.
So here’s where the infamous plot armor comes into play.
Godzilla engages in combat with the female muto, overwhelming her with his superior weight,
pushing her back until she finally succumbs and was at the mercy of Godzilla, but as the
Gman winds up a decisive strike, the male comes in and allows them both to seize the
opportunity and team up against an ambushed Godzilla.
In this clip Godzilla seems overwhelmed by the muto pair, getting continuously stabbed
while he’s pinned against the ground.
But Meanwhile, the extraction team that halo jumped a few moments earlier, recovered the
warhead that was feeding the Muto nest.
But Lieutenant Brody here saw the opportunity to light up the Muto nest, killing all their
offspring.
It just so happened that this took place just when the Mutos were overwhelming Godzilla,
distracting the pair from working as one to finish off the Gman.
This in turn allowed him to fight these mutos individually for some time, which resulted
in a win for Godzilla.
Later on we see that Godzilla later saved Ford Brody’s life before getting killed
by the female muto.
Of course unintentionally, but the point remains.
Had Ford not set fire to the Muto's nest the result would have potentially been a dead
or at least a critically injured Godzilla.
These Mutos are equipped with sharp weapons that, if used correctly, could pierce deep
into Godzilla’s flesh.
A prolonged duration of repetitive stabs would have potentially led to Godzilla bleeding
to death.
And the worst part, These two successfully breeding and causing a world wide Muto invasion.
Up next, Godzilla will need a different type of help, against the most powerful muto of
all time.
Number 2 - Godzilla vs Muto Prime
After the events of 2014 Godzilla would combat the most powerful Muto specimen, Muto Prime,
or also known as Titanus Jinshin Mushi.
This colossal animal emerged from the depths to feed on radioactive sources such as warships
and submarines which housed nuclear warheads.
Godzilla, knowing that this type of titan was a bloodsworn enemy of his own kind, engages
in a long pursuit after the Muto prime.
After several small skirmishes between the two titans these monsters faced off for the
last time in the Beartooth Mountains in Montana.
One thing to note is that while the Muto Prime was evading Godzilla, she was getting stronger
day by day thanks to all the radiation sources she was consuming during this pursuit.
At last the time came when Muto was strong enough to hold her ground against Godzilla.
During this fierce fight, the Muto Prime unleashes her signature Sonic Roar, a roar so powerful
that it is specifically tuned to shatter Godzilla’s dorsal plates.
Before the Muto could go in and inflict further injuries to the G-man, Emma Russel with the
help of others hook up an ORCA prototype and emit sounds that distract the Muto for enough
time to help Godzilla get up, take a breather, and recover from this massive wound.
In a few moments Godzilla would have picked up the Muto and critically injure it with
its atomic pulse.
But what if Dr. Emma Russel didn’t amplify this sonic frequency to distract the Muto
Prime?
… Well, we kind of already have an idea of how these Giant Mutos deal with defeated
Godzillas.
A long time ago, another Titanus Gojira specimen dubbed as Dagon, was defeated by another Muto
Prime, but instead of killing it it implanted these two spores in its flank, which would
later give birth to the two mutos discussed previously.
So back to our present day Muto, She would have done the exact same thing to our present
day Godzilla, implanting brand new muto eggs which would have fed on Godzilla until he
died.
Had the Muto Prime succeeded here, she would have fixed the error of this muto pair, at
failing to give birth to the next generation of Mutos and terraforming the planet.
But thankfully this was never the case thanks to the good old plot armor.
Up next Godzilla will need a lot more than just one dose of Plot armor, against a much
bigger titan.
Number 3 - G man vs Ghidorah
Moving forward in time we find ourselves in 2019, when Godzilla faced off against Ghidorah.
This story is a bit interesting because we see that Godzilla was not initially handicapped
by another titan, but by humans.
Yes, during their second confrontation, humanity launched a prototype weapon known as the oxygen
destroyer which weakened Godzilla so much that he had to drag his way back to his lair
and recover, potentially for a very long time.
Meanwhile his rival remained unscathed, and went on to unleash worldwide calamity unlike
the world had ever seen.
After humans realized that they had almost killed their best shot against Ghidorah, they
decided to fix things with..
Another bomb.
This one being a nuke..
Some may argue that this instance wasn’t so much “Plot Armor” but the next one
is.
In the battle of Boston, we bore witness as Ghidorah carried Godzilla and dropped him
from many thousands of feet in the air, weakening him for enough time for Ghidorah to inflict
a decisive blow.
But here’s how that was stopped.
While the Russels witnessed this fall, they quickly huddled up to repair a damaged ORCA
in an attempt to amplify a frequency that would distract Ghidorah from finishing off
Godzilla.
Similar to the previous case with Muto Prime, except Dr. Emma Russel who once again used
this type of device to save the Gman, perished this time.
In this story, two humans gave up their lives to save the Gman, not to mention Mothra.
But what if these guys didn’t reactivate the Orca?
In the official novelization, it explicitly mentions how this orange glow Godzilla was
emitting would grow fainter every time Ghidorah bit into the Gman, while it was healing its
own wounds.
Suggesting that at some point, Ghidorah would have killed the Gman right here had this Orca
not been activated to distract Ghidorah.
So yes, it turns out that humanity came in clutch once again to save Godzilla in this
instance.
If godzilla would have perished here, all the titans in the world would have continued
their path of destruction and perhaps, instigated the extinction of all humanity.
In these past 3 instances we have seen how humans came in to save Godzilla.
But the next thing to save Godzilla would have taken a more natural form.
Number 4 - Godzilla vs Tiamat
This is a titan that was featured in the graphic novel Godzilla Dominion.
A very long titan armed with corrosive acidic discharges, and with some very sharp bladed
fins which are able to cut deep into titan hides.
In the novel, Godzilla decided to retreat to one of his older lairs, but was now occupied
by Titanus Tiamat.
In this fight there are no humans around to aid Godzilla in combat, or to help him recuperate
if he is downed by the opposing titan.
The book tells us that Tiamat was a superior combatant in the water, and in order to get
out of this one alive, Godzilla realized that he needed to fight on land.
The problem here is that these two were continuously being siphoned deeper into the ocean, that’s
deeper into where Tiamat fights best.
As the situation drifted further from the Gman’s favor, it turns out that they were
both being siphoned into an air pocket in the depths of the sea.
Allowing Godzilla to once again fight on dry land.
Here Godzilla exercised his terrestrial prowess and swiftly defeated Tiamat and got him to
submit.
But what if these titans weren’t siphoned into this cave system?
Things would have looked a bit grim for Godzilla.
Given the nature and behavior of these titans, there are two possible outcomes for this scenario.
1.
Godzilla taps out of the fight and concedes defeat against Tiamat, cementing the rival
as the new alpha and potentially starting a whole new world cataclysmic event once again
like Ghidorah - given that titanus Tiamat is likely a malevolent titan.
But would Godzilla really submit?
Quite frankly this behavior would be out of character for the Gman.
Which leads us into the other conclusion, number 2.
Godzilla fights to the death.
Being bested underwater is no fun way to go.
But if Godzilla had no other option other than finding his footing underwater, a likely
outcome would have been Godzilla perishing underwater.
That’s of course not accounting for his atomic breath ability which would have easily
gotten him out of this one alive.
Up next we have another scenario where Godzilla is saved, but by another titan.
Number 5 - G-Man vs MechaGodzilla
Going back to more recent events, we find Godzilla duking it out against this mechanized
titan engineered to be Godzilla’s superior.
Or an attempt at that.
After being worn out from his fight against Kong and blasting a hole through the earth,
Godzilla now does not have sufficient energy and stamina to face a brand new titan, who
easily overwhelms him in both melee weapons, and atomic weaponry as well.
Previous to this matchup, Godzilla had previously defeated Kong and had him so worn out that
his body began to give up on him, and his heartbeat began to fade out.
Canceling this guy out from any ongoing fight.
Now back to the Godzillas, Mecha G now holds Godzilla in a position where he can blast
his proton scream down Godzilla’s mouth, and end the Gman once and for all.
But it was this guy who came in, raised mechagodzilla’s mouth and redirected this proton scream away
from Godzilla at just the right moment.
We must mention however that it was this dude, Nathan Lind who somehow miraculously activated
some self-destruct protocol on the HEAV and used that power as a defibrillator of sorts
to resurrect Kong, which then after some quick convincing…saved Godzilla.
In retrospect, alot could’ve gone wrong here.
If Godzilla decided to end Kong here, there would’ve been no one to stop MechaGodzilla
from killing the Gman.
But let's say Kong decided to not help the titan that just recently dragged his ass all
over Hong Kong, He would then be tasked with fighting a much larger mechanized titan by
himself.
With nobody to power this axe.
Leaving Mechagodzilla with an estimated 24 hours of energy to inflict death and destruction
to surrounding cities or other populated areas.
Can you name any other instances when Plot armor came for Godzilla’s rescue?
