Talk:Godzilla

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Godzilla. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110711103915/http://www.godzillaondvd.com/mediapageloads/still05.html to http://www.godzillaondvd.com/mediapageloads/still05.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

External links to Wikizilla.org
I'm going to be holding a vote to add Wikizilla (http://wikizilla.org) as an external link to this page and every single other page related to the Godzilla and Gamera franchises. I hope that by 2 weeks from when I post this we can start wrapping up on a decision. As you may or may not know, there was recently a vote on the SpaceGodzilla talk page asking for Wikizilla to have external links leading to their site at the bottom of these pages. It was eventually agreed upon and the link was added to the SpaceGodzilla page. I tried to add these links to other pages and I accept that was a mistake and take full responsibility for it. I'd like to stress the fact that Wikizilla is NOT the Godzilla Wikia and has since moved to a new website (at http://wikizilla.org ) as mentioned above. I'd also like to clarify that I am not trying to add Wikizilla as a source or reference but rather merely as an external link. Other wikis are linked to in their franchise pages like Bulbapedia for Pokemon and Infosphere for Futurama and Wookiepedia for Star Wars and Memory Alpha for Star Trek, etc. EncyclopediaGojira (talk) 18:29, 30th January 2017 (UTC)
 * I vote for Wikizilla having external links on pages related to Godzilla and Gamera. EncyclopediaGojira (talk) 18:29, 30th January 2017 (UTC)
 * I also vote for Wikizilla to have external links on Wikipedia. --BrayLockBoy (talk) 19:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I vote for wikizilla to have external links on this site גודזילה (talk) 19:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I also vote for Wikizilla to be an external link here. MosuFan2004 (talk) 20:05, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * As much as I dislike Wikizilla for its lack of references and behind the scenes info (doesn't hold a candle to Memory Alpha and Wookiepedia) I agree it should be added. Mariomassone (talk) 22:54, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've seen the arguments made and they've presented a very strong case for this. I approve. Armegon (talk) 05:03, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's customary to indicate the benefits behind a proposal. I've not seen this described. On the face of it, I don't like just blanket approval of every page being linked to wikizilla. It's a fan site, nothing wrong with that, but it is commercial, and putting in these links indiscriminately comes across as advertising to me. Alaney2k (talk) 15:37, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * http://wikizilla.org does not have any advertisements. To reiterate, Wikizilla is not the Godzilla Wikia (godzilla.wikia). 493Titanollante (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok. My mistake. But what information does wikizilla have that is not present here? Alaney2k (talk) 14:35, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It's much more in depth and possesses a lot of trivia and information that isn't strictly laid out in the movies. Plus it contains far more information on topics such as Toho's tokusatsu shows, the individual monsters themselves (such as roar information, design details, all of the monsters' appearances) and more things like galleries of images and monsters that aren't big enough to have their own pages here and infinitely more information on Godzilla video games and other aspects of the franchise. EncyclopediaGojira (talk) 16:20, 3rd February 2017 (UTC)
 * I support the additions of the links to Wikizilla.org. 493Titanollante (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Okay it's been almost 3 weeks now and there have been zero dissenting votes. I am counting this as a binding vote and will soon move forward with adding links to all the Godzilla pages. EncyclopediaGojira (talk) 23:44, 16th February 2017 (UTC)

Having a last appearance
Last appearances are only used for, well their last appearance, not their latest appearances. Since they're still making Godzilla films and there are no plans of stopping, last appearance is inappropriate to use in this article. JDDJS (talk) 13:04, 17 November 2017 (UTC) JDDJS (talk) 13:04, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * You're taking the word "last" too literal here. In this context, Last appearance does not mean the same as "final" appearance, it means what was the most latest film the character appeared in.  As of now, Godzilla's last appearance in any movie was Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters. There is no rule on Wiki's Manual of Style guidelines that state that "last appearances" should be removed, therefore, it should not be removed from the article. Armegon (talk) 19:21, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Erm ur wrong since theres a new film called Gojira Minus one Shinagawakun3000 (talk) 18:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Who's gonna tell him? XD Armegon (talk) 00:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Request for comment
Do we list Godzilla's latest appearance as his last appearance, even though there are more films in production, or do we leave it blank until/unless the franchise is retired? JDDJS (talk) 19:34, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Like I said, you're taking "last" appearance too literal. In this context, "last" does not mean the same as "final". It's like when someone asks you "when was the last time you saw this or that", it does not mean the "final" time you will ever see it, it means what was the "latest" you saw this or that. Armegon (talk) 19:50, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you point to another article that uses last appearance in a similar context? JDDJS (talk) 21:13, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I thought you'd never ask. There's plenty that use last appearance in similar context. Check it... Tony Montana, Gamera, King Kong, Zilla, Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra, Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, Mechani-Kong... the list goes on for Godzilla's rogues gallery. Armegon (talk) 01:53, 18 November 2017 (UTC)


 * : How about rewording to "most recent" ? Markbassett (talk) 21:03, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This is not a new discussion, nor a localized one. See Template talk:Infobox character. Based on my reading of that page, "Last" should not be populated if the character is expected to return. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:00, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sent here by a bot, but I agree with . Godzilla will likely never have a last appearance, and so it should be left empty. Killer Moff (talk) 11:26, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Size and Special Effect Details Update
The page still doesn't list his latest & currently greatest size. In Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, he is at least 318.8 meters and 100,000 tonnes, as seen in a quick shot of a computer screen used by the humans. The fact that Godzilla has been portrayed in anime format for the first time, at least, since the obscure Godzillaland OVAs, or we could say he has been portrayed in anime format for the first time in a movie. 112.201.172.46 (talk) 11:31, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
 * We should first find verifiable sources confirming the size before adding anything. Armegon (talk) 13:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Dispute over Sizing: Despite the link to Toho Studios calling the original Godzilla (1954) as 50m tall, the English language version Godzilla: King of the Monsters refers to Godzilla as variously 400' tall and 300' tall. Godzilla holds a train car in his mouth easily and his foot is somewhat shorter than the train car (perhaps 3/4 of the length). In 1954, those cars were 18 meters (59') long, 2.8 (9') meters wide, and 3.5 meters (11.5') high (https://locomotive.fandom.com/wiki/Eidan_500_series), suggesting that 300-400' high is more believable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvanRobinson (talk • contribs) 02:28, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Godzilla '54 design.jpg
File:Godzilla '54 design.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Under the Cultural Impact sub-section, change 'Jaws (1995) to Jaws (1975)'. Jaws came out in 1975, not 1995. The sourcing is correct, this is likely a typo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ledvelvet21 (talk • contribs)

Good or evil?
Godzilla does actually go out of his way to save humans at least in some older films, an example is in Terror of Mechagodzilla there are two kids about to be stomped by Titanosaurus. They cry out to Godzilla to save them and he appears, though it's not shown if they were saved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:DA42:9800:89C5:58ED:3AF6:C1B6 (talk) 22:22, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Godzilla Earth's height
Should we consider changing Godzilla Earth's height to 318.8 meters instead of 300 meters since one of the movies says he's 318.8 meters on a computer screen?--VaderRaptor 22:17, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * We would have to cite secondary sources (reliable articles) rather than primary sources (the movie). Are there sources that conflict one or the other? If so, we can say "this source reports this height however this source reports that height" etc. Armegon (talk) 06:53, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

"-zilla"
