Who Laid Minya's Egg?

[TheSecondComing]

I always thought Godzilla just mated with a Godzillasaurus.

Godzillasaurus didn't exist until the 90s. At least within the Toho universe.

Try 1940's within that timeline.

Godzillasaurus only existed in the Heisei timeline,I think.

Behold, Minya's mother revealed!

That is not Minya's mother. That is a recycled Godzilla suit used in another movie, can't remember what one.

It was from the original Ultraman tv show. Watching that scene on youtube still gives me a chuckle, especially when Ultraman and "Jirass" are trying to impress each other by blowing up rocks in the air.

I don't think anybody laid Minya's egg. I think a giant stork delivered the egg to Solgell Island.

I know what it is, It's Jirass, he's not from a movie, he's from episode 10 of Ultraman. Jirass aka Jirassu.

it was a joke

The best theory I've heard is the one about Godzilla 1954 and Showa Godzilla II being the parents. It's called Son of Godzilla afterall, not Adopted Son of Godzilla.

Yes, because that would have been such a great sounding title. Come on dude..

Did anyone else kinda feel bad for that thing when it died?

[Cimmerian Dragon]

^ Yup.

Even Ultraman was sad about it.

No, it was a giant condor!

No! You're not allowed to respond to intentionally stupid remarks with sarcasm!

[Shadow]

And a bad one at that.
Now if you posted a pic of... I dunno Barney maybe, that might be funny. Would explain Minya's talking in a annoying voice though.

[Patrick Alan]

Your right but not all jokes can be good ones

[Goji]

..Lol. You're a funny guy.

[Patrick Alan]

Cool thanks, anyway back to the topic........

I don't think there's ever been any kind of official answer. My best guess is that Minya's mother is long gone, and that Minya's egg is a relic of prehistoric times, potentially mutated or preserved by nuclear bombardment.

This is one thing I love about the Showa series, and I don't mean this sarcastically: if something isn't immediately relevant to the story or characters of the movie, they just don't bother to explain it. It's a giant skreeonk egg with a Godzilla-ish baby monster inside, that's all the characters and the audience need to know, so that's all we're ever told! The guys on the island have no explanation for it, and mom never shows up, so the movie doesn't really waste any more time on it. It makes the movies efficient and it gives the viewer something to wonder about after the movie's over.

The same mentality seems to apply to monsters changing size and coming back from the dead between movies. Love it. This air of mystery doesn't seem to exist so much anymore in modern fantasy and sci-fi movies.

Also, you might want to edit the thread title... as it reads now it looks like you're asking who boned Minya! You want "laid" instead of "layed." ...and even then you might want to change it to "Minya's egg" instead of just "Minya."

Good post!

Some things are better off not explained. The viewer either has to accept it, or use their imagination or common sense to find out the answers. This is entertainment, not a history book or a technical guide to building rocket ships.

Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein's monster, all died - a couple of times. Yet, Universal kept on bringing them back. There was no need to explain. Its entertainment. People like those characters.
