The force of nature aspect is important, but I think its been over-emphasized in past movies. Thats the extent of Godzilla's character development in the last dozen films, and he hasn't moved beyond that in a long time.

Its important that the filmmaker's understand that Godzilla is more than a monster, he's some unique sort of being that is in a class of its own, along with whatever other creatures they decide to pair him with. So if people say that Godzilla exhibiting higher intelligence is "unrealistic" or "too human-like" then I think that they're wrong, because there isn't any sort of animal today that could be compared to Godzilla.

They don't have to reference the events exactly but it already seems like something he would do. Come out of the sea, cause a lot of damage and single out a nuclear plant.
I mentioned the nuclear reactor. It could easily tie into a Godzilla movie.

They could also make Godzilla the cause of a tsunami or earthquake almost as a reference to these natural disasters occurring across the Earth.

A warm welcome to you, garywest.

I love the fact that Edwards will be incorporating some real world events that have happened into the film - I find that a tad more exciting as, if the film was based on true life events, it would make the experience of the film a tad more scarier, as if it could really happen.
