Jeez do you think that big old lizard is up to the task?

I’d think the old boy with the bad breath might be little long in the tooth. I mean after all , how many times can you flatten Tokyo?

Maybe Mothra and Rodan can give him a hand.

He went to Seoul, basically, in Colossal. A strange movie that I ran across one day. It has a PG rating for good reasons but it’s a weird take one might not have thought of.

It was originally set for Japan but it wound up being filmed (some portions) in South Korea. The produces got sued, reportedly, by the Godzilla copyright owners.

It was a Colossal box office failure but the budget was fairly cheap.
