Godzilla(2014) runs the Kaiju/Jaeger gauntlet

Started by ares8344 pages

Considering how Gypsy wrecked it with a blast and with its sword, I don't see it withstanding Godzilla's nuclear fire any better.

Proof that the atomic breath is more powerful than the thrusters or sword?

Where did I say it was more powerful than either?

Prove that it isn't.uhuh

You're saying that Godzilla's atomic breath can do what a megaton nuke could not. The onus is on you to prove that. And Slattern may have smaller mass, but he's taller and far more agile.

Not at all. Despite what one soldier claims, nukes with megaton yields were "tested" by America on Bikini island in 1954. And we see Godzilla see hit by one of the Bikini island nukes in 1954.

Movie explicitly mentions that kiloton weapons were used on Goji. I doubt that you can somehow change movie canon by citing real life incidents.

Negative-proof-fallacy.

We saw '14 G's fire not do all that much to the outside of fMuto. Slattern's raw size gives it some defense too, and '14 G isn't as regen-y/tough as Heisei or Final Wars G.

Slattern can likely stop him, but no-one else could.

To be fair his atomic breath instantly grounded the female muto he just stopped attacking after that.

Also Slattern got fried by Gypsy's thrusters.

It still withstood a megaton nuke. The only possible inferences is that either the megaton nuke weakened it to the point that the thrusters were able to affect it, or that the thrusters are hotter than a megaton nuke, both of which are possible. Either way, it takes at least a megaton to put down Slattern, and nothing suggests that Godzilla's atomic breath is that powerful.

Not thrusters, sustained exposure to the atomic turbine at point blank (and that *is* designed to be used as a weapon, btw, it was used in the prequel comic. In short it's something of a desperation move weapon since it uses up so much power that if it doesn't end it, you're screwed. Well, that and pretty much requiring hugging range!).

Though speaking of it's thruster potential, it not only stopped but temporarily reversed a fall *from space*.
