Godzilla Earth wouldn't be a major threat to a space-faring Civillization

[Extraspectre]

I don't know how far along the humans in this storyline are, but a massive target like him would just be bombarded from orbit.

[Fropston]

They used 2000 nukes on him. I think he'd survive. We also don't know the range of his Atomic Breath. It may very well be that it reaches past the Earth's orbit.

[Extraspectre]

Not sure what his special wizard armor is with Nukes, but radiation always seems to make him stronger. Railguns would be an ideal weapon. It seems silly to imagine that Godzilla could do the complicated calculations in his head to hit space-bourne objects travelling at Tens of thousands of kilometers per hour (the ISS travels 5 miles per second).

Where were was it said he was nuked 2000 times? I remember it was said he was nuked multiple times before humanity left to space but I don't remember any specific numbers.

King Ghidorah is the known "planet killer" yes? And he's most likely able to give space-faring beings a hard time. Then he gets his butt handed to him by Godzilla. Well, he also had some help from a caterpillar and a pterodactyl, but still.

That's kinda like MMAth(saying X fighter should beat Y, because he already beat somebody else seen as challenging. Wrong fandom I know). Ghidora's capabilities also include space-travel, unlike Godzilla. We also don't know how advanced those civilizations were(just a guess here), but I imagine he would have trouble defeating capital warships 1-3 kilometers long and bristling with weapons(pretty common in various Sci-fi franchises like Warhammer40k and Halo).

Godzilla has no natural answer to the enormous firepower of space-ships firing from ranges beyond his comprehension. His breath *might* reach out far enough(seems like a stretch), but I feel you'd have to seriously amp up it's power to smash through possible energy shields and armor plating. And again, it'd be pretty difficult to hit something flying 20,000+ kilometers an hour without a targeting computer.

Final Wars shot his atomic breath into space. If that can happen there then it'll problem happen here. Or Monster Planet Godzilla's electromagnetic abilities will come into play........

Yes using past Godzilla's as examples doesn't mean anything, but still.......

GFW Godzilla didn't have a problem with that. GxM Godzilla managed it too, sort of.

And anyway, spaceships performing an orbital bombardment would be in geosynchronous orbit over their target, thus rendering the traveling-thousands-of-miles-per-hour part moot because they'd be effectively staying still in relation to said target.

Do you write for Cinema Sins? Who cares.

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Godzilla is a threat to anything if he wants to.

[LSD Jellyfish]

The very simple answer is they're trying to reclaim the earth, most likely. If they just bombed the shit out of it and destroyed everything what's the point.

[Showa Gyaos]

Keep in mind that we don't know if this incarnation has any tricks up his sleeves.

He could be on par with the abilities of a cosmic horror, except Earth-born.

Maybe this is when his electromagnetic abilities come into play.

The most dangerous Godzilla ever, not even space can protect you.

Good ol' plot powers >

You're looking to far into this. Just turn off the ol' thinker and i'm sure we'll learn something once the movie is out or in the coming weeks.

This too. Knowing Godzilla, if he dies or is blown to bits - all of that contained radiation has to go somewhere right?

[GoodOlGoji]

OP's making a lot of assumptions for a film not yet released...

[Jomei]

Muh realism

[Gerdzerl]

Godzilla could totally be a major threat to a space-faring civilization, it just depends on how he's written and/or what kind of powers he has.

How much do we know about humanity's space civilization itself? Are they capable of moving to other worlds? For all we know their civilization could just be a "lifeboat" hanging in orbit above earth hoping to outlive the current monster infestation.

Wasn't it confirmed in the story outline that that's exactly the case?
This is from Sci-fiJapan, which it says is accurate.

"In the year 2048, a select few humans are chosen by the central government’s artificial intelligence to set out on an interstellar emigration vessel, the Aratrum, on an 11.9-light-year journey for the planet Tau Ceti e. But when they arrive after 20 years of space travel, the remnants of mankind find the environmental conditions on Tau-e to be much worse than expected, and uninhabitable by humans."

In other words, humanity isn't entirely a space faring civilization, and they can't just stay on the new planet. They're coming back to earth to reclaim it.
