    I’ve been a fan of the Godzilla franchise for a long time. I’m absolutely stunned to learn that the films don’t hold up to scientific scrutiny. I feel lied to, and betrayed. How could they do this‽ Everything is ruined.

      Well, kind of.

      They showed the interior of the earth with other megafauna, but how exactly Godzilla or Kong are getting their caloric intake satisfied on a regular basis is somewhat of a question regardless.

      Godzilla especially… feeds on radiation? But not just like, consuming uranium ore. He can take a full thermonuclear blast to the face and seemingly heals bodily injury. Maybe makes him feel really full too?

      It’s handwaved at best, which is fine. Trying to figure out how Kaiju work is like trying to explain The Force with physics. It’s just magic, don’t worry about it.
