Godzilla 2014 and associated materials
Spoiler:
.In Godzilla:awakening, Godzilla is first sighted in 1945 after being awakened by Hiroshima. The film says that Godzilla was awakened in 1954 by the Nuclear Submarine USS Nautilus.
.Another monster named Shinomura is present during the 1954 Nuclear test. Shinomura has not been mentioned in any other materials since.
. Shinomura attacks a warship and destroys it. This has never been retouched, though an event in K:SI may be a reference to it.
. Godzilla 2014 states Monarch was founded in 1954. However, other materials state that Monarch was founded in 1946, including Kong: Skull Island.
. Godzilla survives a massive impact event during the permian while fighting Shinomura in Godzilla: Awakening. There is no evidence to back up such an event, and as said above, Shinomura's existence is dubious.
.Shinomura survives an extinction-level impact event but is killed by a significantly weaker nuclear weapon.
.The Navy officer in G2014 states Castle Bravo was a Kiloton bomb. An odd choice, seeing as Castle bravo's fame comes from being the largest nuclear device detonated by the U.S., and the bomb they were going to use against the MUTOs is at most a single megaton in TNT tonnage.
.The Official Godzilla 2014 novelization states the device being used against the MUTOs is a 300 kiloton warhead. The film states it is a warhead in the Megaton range.
.Godzilla rips off HokMUTO's wing in the Novel.
.Godzilla finishes FemMUTO off by slashing off her head with his arm claws in the Novel, likely based off of the 2012 script.
.The MUTO's EMP explicitly interferes with Godzilla's atomic breath. This is another holdover from the 2012 script, where Godzilla's breath is an electrically-triggered flame. This is not touched upon in the film.
. Godzilla is injured by tanks and planes in the novel.
. Godzilla uses his atomic beam in the Honolulu fight.
. In Godzilla: Awakening, you can see sailboats in the permian flashback scene.

Spoiler:
.The Monarch timeline makes no mention of Shinomura or the original 1945 sighting of Godzilla.
. Monarch is confirmed to be founded in 1946, making the point made in G2014 moot.
. Bill Randa's ship is sunk in 1943. This may be reference to Shinomura's ship attack, but if it is, it isn't Shinomura, as this happens 2 years before the thing even woke up (if it still exists in the canon, anyway).
. Conrad fights a giant snake in the novel.
.There is a second Mire Squid attack in the novel.
.The Skullcrawlers resemble giant newts with many legs in the novel.
.The leafwings are vultures in the novel.
