Origin Of (Godzilla MonsterVerse) Movies
In the Movie Godzilla: The King Of Monsters shows a different origin than than it was shown in the movie Godzilla: awaking where it have been told that Godzilla arrived due to the radiation occurred by the Hydrogen Bomb. in Godzilla: awakening is show a new ancient life form during the time of the permian period. It tell that as the temperature of the planet cools down and the atmospheric radiation keeps on decreasing to survive in this changing habitat it went into water deep driving inside the ocean to adapt the new changes and went for a hibernation state until 1945 that is the molten core time. Then he wakes up due to the atomic bombing in hiroshima along with his enemy named as Shinomura with whom he fought in the past.
Gojira’s species developed millions of years ago during the permian period. Although they were in huge numbers and also powerful , they have been moved to the face of non-existence by a MUTO’s species which is a parasite titan who used to prey only on the Gojira’s species. It was also mentioned that Gojira’s species took a fight with the Titanus Kong’s species and the fight was fought in the Hollow earth. The war was fought for centuries in the hollow earth resulting in kong’s species migrating to Skull island, other members of their type survived in different places and in different atmospheres from time to time. Two of the Gojra’s members were killed by different MUTOs and one skeleton was found in the middle of Siberia named as Dagon. According to the plot of the film Godzilla is the last member from his Family who is still leaving.
Ishiro Serizawa explained that Godzilla is an alpha predator of the ecosystem who prevents other species from overpopulating and overrunning the earth, behaving as a force who maintain the balance of the earth. When Gidorah arrived he prepared himself as the rival of alpha godzilla. Gidorah and Godzilla fought each other many times before their last fight in Antarctica where Godzilla defeated Ghidorah and buried him in the frozen ice followed by Godzilla’s victory. They also share a relationship with Mothra’s which is a rivalry and also leads to a dangerous fight but again at last everybody knows who will win, as usual Godzilla again won the fight.
History
Godzilla: Awakening
Godzilla is a alpha predator from the time of permian period who was under hibernation due to the change in ecosystem and to adapt all the changes in environment from the time of molten rock event unit 1945 when the atomic bomb on hiroshima wake him up along with his enemy named as Shinomura who went to a small island to feed himself with leftover living creature where Godzilla arrived from behind and kill him with his atomic breath. After the bombing in Hiroshima, Godzilla immediately surfaced near the city inorder to detect his enemy. From that time he continued to chase Nishimura and attacked him in the pacific Ocean and after 1940 there was also an eye witness.
In 1954 a Nuclear Submarine again woke him up when it went inside the water and Godzilla came back in search of new radiation. Godzilla fed on the submarine in the middle of the south pacific Ocean and the Americans used to think that this attack was by some other countries. Godzilla lands in the city of Moansta and defeats two Shinomura. After lots of struggle Godzilla killed one with dragon breath while the other one escaped.
When american gets to know about both of them they try to kill both of them using a nuclear bomb but it will be very much dangerous to use nuclear weapon so american use dry hydrogen bomb which helps to kill Shinomura by vaporizing him completely while Godzilla survives and disappears. From then onwards Monarch was formed to find other species and godzilla.
Kong: Skull Island
Monarch Operative was first mentioned about godzilla and tried to kill godzilla but never mentioned about shinomura. In the year 1973 , Houston brook mentioned some of the monsters along with kong. Kong’s species move to the skull island after the warfare between the Godzilla’s species and Kong’s species.
Godzilla
In 2014 godzilla again woke up after the mating song of two MUTOs parasites from which we lay eggs during that era. Godzilla came up to the shore to stop two MUTOs before their mating but he failed to do that, resulting in the laying eggs. When Male MUTO went to meet Female MUTO but Americans planned to kill Godzilla and MUTOs together. They succeed in killing the male MUTO but the female escapes with the eggs in her as well as Godzilla also escapes.
The female MUTO uses electromagnetic pulse to stop the weapons and steal the warhead which she used as a source of food. Godzilla withstand all the bullets util a missile hits on his gills lead to fall him on a bridge and divide it into two but still continues to move toward the city where the MUTO has created the nest. Then Serizawa understands Godzilla can be the only one to stop MUTO so they allow Godzilla to enter the city. Godzilla kills MUTO with dragon breath and the military destroys all the eggs with a bomb.
Godzilla: Aftershock
Thai is a comic with a prequel of Godzilla: King of Monsters where Godizilla continued to defeat MUTOs over and over. A MUTO prime wakes up and sets out to fight against Godzilla which has also become a threat for the Military as well. When both the scientists were taken to the lab by that time Godzilla and MUTO were already in fight and the device got activated just before MUTO was going to use its attack. Godzilla and Prime Mutant were brought to the Athena II nuclear power plant where due to the explosion the MUTO’s egg got infected. The fight ended with a roar by both of them before falling down to the ground and the MUTO never woke up while Godzilla went back to the ocean with heavy injuries.
Godzilla: King Of Monsters
Five years after the fight Godzilla again wake up and started movie toward the antarctica when the team realize this is due to the waking up of new titan from the ice named as Monster Zero.John’s team identified that the waking up of new Monsters is because of the radioactive explosion caused by the Monarch which lead to the waking up new Titans around the world. Which also led Godzilla to wake up. After feeling the radiation of new Monsters, Godzilla fears about his loss of the kingdom and goes in search of the monsters to kill them.although most of the Monsters were not as powerful as Godzilla but there was one Titan in the MonsterVerse who was more powerful than Godzilla, his name is Gidorah looks like a dragon having three heads with each head having different powers.
Godzilla continued to fight with titans and defeat them. During the fight he got heavily injured due to which he lost all his power like the dragon breathe and on the other side Gidorah was destroying the world. As they understand Godzilla can only stop this titan so the American military took a radio active missile inside the ocean and exploded so that Godzilla coils get back all his power. And the plan was successful. Godzilla got back his power and became more powerful to defeat other Titans and now he has so much power that Godzilla destroys all the Monsters of MonsterVerse.
Godzilla vs Kong
This is basically Godzilla 3 the MonsterVerse and from here Godzilla Vs kong enters in the MonsterVerse, after Five years Godzilla became more aggressive as he started attacking human settlement more specifically attacking Apex cybernetics for some unknown reason although it was new to everyone as Godzilla never attacked the human settlement like this before. Madison Russell thinks that there is something the land which making Gdzzilla aggressive and it was true that Apex operators are doing a secret mission where they are using Gidorah’s DNA and radiation to create Mecha godzilla with more and Godzilla sense the radiation of Godorah from this and think as a threat for his kingdom. Meanwhile Kong has left his hibernation phase from the skull island .
Godzilla sensed the threat of kong as their ancestors already fought against each other he tried to kill kong. The fight between them was very dangerous and threatful but from the middle apex operators launched its mecha godzilla which was more powerful than Godzilla. This helps Godzilla and Kong to understand that their enemy is Mecha Godzilla so they fought together to defeat Mecha Godzilla. By the sunrise it was defeated and Godzilla and Kong went on their ways. Uptil now Godzilla Vs Kong is the last MonsterVerse MOvie.
