Happy Godzilla Day! Here's my attempt at Minus One Godzilla to celebrate the movie's release in Japan.

Unstoppable

It's a well-known scene for any fan of Godzilla. The King of the Monsters against the military. They try everything to take him down. Tanks. Jets. Masers. Yet all they do is just make him angrier. Every time, it's a one-sided battle.

By this point, it's tradition. But there's also a reason why something like these scenes are so prevalent.

At it's core, one of the pillars of the entire franchise is a strong anti-war message. After all, Godzilla himself was baptized in the Castle Bravo H-bomb testings, and could link his real-world origins to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II, and the Lucky Dragon Incident where a tuna trawler was doused in lethal radiation from the aforementioned H-bomb testing as part of the greater Cold War. If monsters are some extension of our deepest fears or creations of mankind's worst aspects, Godzilla was born from the aspect of war.

In this regard, there's a good thematic reason why the army always tries to take Godzilla down. Military aggression spawned him and thus incurs his wrath time and time again. Ultimately though, it's a futile gesture. You can't stop the atomic bomb once it's been dropped. At most, you can put on a show of resistance but that's it.

It's for this reason that I believe Godzilla is the ultimate anti-war monster. Essentially, he's a nightmare for a militaristic society. If humans put so much stock in our weapons and willingness to wage war, here's this being that no matter how hard we try, we can't overcome him with armies. Most of the time, we need some kind of secret weapon, a ploy thought up by scientists, or other kaiju in order to stop him. Like it or not though, we can't defeat him with conventional weapons. Not even atomic weapons work since...well, he was spawned from them.

Ultimately, Godzilla represents the horrors of a war that cannot be one by any means. Maybe it's a prolonged conflict where morals are thrown to the side. Maybe it's a full-scale nuclear war. It doesn't matter. Cause nobody wins when your opposing force can't even be killed by the worst weapons humanity has to offer.

Since it's the most joyous time of November, Godzilla Day, how will YOU celebrate it? Me, I plan on binging on movies, reading the comics and novels, and eating lots of spicy food.

“Godzilla Proflie”

Happy 69th Birthday, Godzilla! 🦎🇯🇵

Happy Godzilla Day!!!

I want to bring a spotlight to nature books written by non-white authors on this Earth Day. We need to work everyday on how environmentalism has been colonized and what we can do to be good stewards of the land.
