I really have no idea. Kaiju like Mothra have died from old age but for Godzilla I base it sort of off of G2K where they say his cells always fully regenerate and how he was not missing a single cell, cells normally die over time but he wasn't missing any. So Godzilla (at least the G2K version) is virtually immortal.

I just love how you say this when the post above you says Immortality and godhood are NOT the same thing. By that logic vampires are gods because they live forever. Nope, they're just overpowered creatures who live too damn long. :lol:

But Vampires can be killed anyways...so no "Inmortality" there.

There immortal as long as they're not killed. Hell Greek Mythology has Gods beings killed.

In Wolverine, we see Logan as a boy just before the Civil War. He was still alive, and not old, in the X Men films. It's just as likely that Godzilla's regenerative powers could give him an extraordinarily long life.

I may have misworded some of it but notice I said virtually immortal which in my head means that he is immortal unless there is some force that is more powerful than G2K Godzilla that can destroy him in time before he regenerates and or kills them first than he may die.

I guess it depends on the monster. Monsters like King Caesar, Battra, and the GMK kaiju other than Godzilla were probably around for several thousand years. I can't imagine Godzilla living for several centuries though. I can imagine him living 2 centuries at most.

If we go by what the Showa era says, then a good number of kaiju are at least 65 million years old if they had survived the dinosaur age.
