Why did he die? - Gojira vs. Desutoroiâ (1995) Discussion

[–] pkdv2002 20 years ago

Radiation overload (or over heating. I haven't seen this movie in a long time). Like the lightbulb thing with too much electricity. Why did the Super X-3 fail to save him? They also thought tanks, airplanes, and the Super X would kill him. No reason to start being right now.

If they have a funeral for Godzilla one can imagine how many people and monsters will attend it right ;-)

Well, here,s why. In the middle of the movie, Godzilla heads for the nuclear reactors for more radiaton. SuperX-3 freezes Godzilla, which later breaks free. Godzilla would now melt down at 1200 degrees. If he melts down, the earth would be doomed. At the end of the movie, Godzilla kills Destroyah, then reaches 1200 degrees, and melts down. The SuperX-3 and freezer tanks use freezer weapons to reduce the damage of the meltdown. But Godzilla jr. gets his fathers radiation, and the Godzilla begins anew.

Well, actually the military kills Destroyah, and the reason the Super X-3 didn't save Godzilla was the fact for that the army, military, and etc. wasn't really fond of Godzilla for the fact everytime he came to Japan, he did a lot of destruction just walking around.

I think they should have stuck with Godzilla killing destroyer. it would have made the victory alot more satisfying before his untimely demise. But he did in fact absorb way too much raditaion which is what caused his death.

Road, it's easy to see where you can think that but in fact Godzilla is who kills Destroyer. Destroyer isn't dead when G-Force opens fire on him. Destroyer is killed after he hits the ground... G-Force blasted away at Destroyer with freeze weapons then fell out of the sky. Seeing the monster coming right at him, Godzilla stands his ground (they point this out in the Japanese version). Godzilla is heating up the ground with his body. Destroyer hits the ground and the sudden change in temperature from cold to hot destroys Destroyer's body. It's an easy mistake, but Destroyer's death is due to Godzilla's actions just a little more than G-Force's.

well, stepping out of the mold of the movie explanation, he had absorbed too much radiation, Toho was to hand the reins over to Tristar until Final Wars came out as a 50th anaversary movie. By killing Godzilla and letting the smaller Godzilla escape, they set Trista up to take over with that character as their Godzilla and not tied to teh original. Unfortunately, the boneheads at Tristar figured that a 50 success story wouldn't cut it with American fans and brought out GINO. Toho actually relaesed Godzilla 2000 because of outcry over the American film.

Remember that the Godzilla dies in 1950 and comes back and dies in 1985 and comes back, so "killing" him by no means means he is gone!

The Super-X 3 was never meant to save Godzilla, just reduce the impact of his meltdown on the Earth.

still it seems a little lame to me that he was just overloaded and now is the point where Godzilla is going into meltdown just because Toho said so. Now if they tied it to something like due to being exposed to the space radiation from his earlier fight with Space Godzilla that would work for me. It would also explain why juior had grown larger since appearing first in Gvs mehcaG 2 and then in G vs SpaceG. As far as I am concerned when junior absorbs the radiation as Godzilla is dying the then becomes the new Godzilla seen in G2000

There was nothing the Super X-3 could have done to save Godzilla. There was way too much radiation.

Eh, wouldn't be the first time something like that went unexplained in one of Kazuki Omori's scripts (See Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah).

"I think you SHOULD die fighting a monster called "Destoroyah", and that he did."

That and the fact that the monster was created from and named after the weapon that killed the original Godzilla.

My understanding of what happend was an explosion occured destroying an island(Birth island) and that explosion not only released tremendous energy but also Large. In the explosion Godzilla's heart was injured and that was what caused Godzilla'problems not him absorbing large amounts of radiation.

I thought his heart just stopped processing radiation....giving him the kaiju equivalent of a heart attack.
