That is a creative theory. However, I can't imagine such a convoluted theory being truth in a children's film.

But I suppose this whole debate is more for fun anyway.

Aren't most of our debates like that?

Im guessing that although he dreamed about him, maybe Godzilla in reality was just chillin in Monster Island with
the rest of the Earth Defenders.

The theory has both Godzilla as a fictional monster and as a real monster. We could consider that "AMA" (Directed by Ishiro Honda) takes most of its stock footage from "Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster" and "The Son of Godzilla", two movies (directed by Jun Fukuda) that were the most "fun" and "kid friendly" of the series until that point. We have Godzilla, who eventually becomes a japanese icon both in the real world and in the late Showa movies... So maybe in "AMA"'s universe, "Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster" and "The Son of Godzilla" exist as movies for kids, while the "real" Godzilla is somewhere else, maybe in Monsterland like Giga Kaiju said.
