I question He-Man's ability to take on an opponent like Godzilla. He had trouble with an ancient Dragon in his 80's cartoon run. It was to the point that He- Man was nearly powerless against the beast. The Dragon looked to be smaller than Godzilla, and less powerful as well. I would argue for Godzilla taking this for many of the same reasons that Cadence brought up.
God I hated the Hanna Barbara GZ. Loved the Godzilla Animated Series on Zilla Jr though. just recently got the whole 2 seasons on DVD for me and the kid. Good stuff.

sooo.....still waiting on all the arguments that i DIDN'T make in the bz.... lol i was expecting some great feats that i should have argued but didn't but all i've seen are rehashes of everything i posted.....

nah, it really wasn't. he didn't actually 'tank' anything. he survived it and he was driven below the crust to feed on radiation from the core. not sure where the idea that he tanked it comes from. the asteroid didn't kill all the dinosaurs either, so it don't see why it's a big deal at all tbh. it's not like he took the impact or anything.....he has FAR greater durability feats than getting lucky enough to avoid the impact of an asteroid....
Look at the feat. The picture shows the asteroid above Godzilla and he muto he just blasted. Then we see a page of a huge explosion from the impact that spans a continent. Then next panel we see the blasted Muto fall in a earth fissure. GZ in the same panel is standing pretty wih no hint of damage. Thus he took no damage from a meteor that by some scientist theories split the super continent, changed the earths atmosphere forever, and shown on page to span a continent while GZ was at ground zero.
That's a feat. A damn good one at that.

I guess we can ignore the art of this feat or the event it played in science theories, but then we should ignore half the feats of He Man as well to be fair

I think the permian impact is a debatable feat. However what's not debatable is that comicbook Goji can withstand h-bombs going off over his hide, as was shown in the Castle Bravo explosion scene.

you're exactly right--godzilla WAS standing fine. no crater impact, no smoke, no nothing aside from a small fissure that was created. the asteroid was shown APPROACHING, but could easily just be passing over them. if you think he actually tanked the asteroid itself, i don't know what else to tell you. the asteroid left an impact crater more than a 100 miles in diameter. godzilla is standing EXACTLY as he was. not sure how anyone could conclude he was even close to the actual impact site.
Your right, let's ignore the fact the meteor was shown right above them, the fact the blast covers a continent area, and the fact we see a plume of smoke with a fissure below, same fissure that a muto fell through.
Let's ignore all that because it seems unrealistic.... But surging a Black Hole in IDW is ok then?
Sorry, seems you and I just see things different then.

if you have to edit the bejesus out of a scan via MS Paint just to try and prove your point, then you may want to reevaluate how valid your point was to begin with.
i say this because the scans/panels *should* be able to speak for themselves--reader editing/break-downs *shouldn't* be required if a feat is cut-and-dry. /shrug

lol
i'm not ignoring it because it seems unrealistic--i'm ignoring it because the scene is highly ambiguous and the facts do not support his having been struck by the meteor. like i said, 100 mile wide crater, cloud that covered the earth and he's standing there like nothing happened? lol believe what you'd like. that makes utterly no sense to me and is easily explained away. which is exactly why i never used that feat in the bz. but i think you're right on--no need to apologize, but yeah, we certainly don't see godzilla feats the same way at all.
I think our match has done more to stir the pot on these two characters more than anything in a long time, so I'm happy. They both deserve way more exposure.
Also, that particular controversial feat or not, GZ has epic durability.
