I look at it like it's a space shuttle he emerged from. "That's one small step for Ghidorah, one giant leap for Ghidorah kind."

Well, unless you think it's an entirely new, separate, baby Ghidorah in DAM or GvsGigan...

But couldn't that just be the same Ghidorah that hatched in GTTHM? Maybe Ghidorahs live for several hundred years at a time. The space shuttle idea is interesting. Though he can freely travel on space so it doesn't make much sense...

He just uses a cocoon to travel between planets when he doesn't want to waste energy. He is capable of flying in space by himself but think of how much time and energy would go by just to fly from one planet to another. Would seem better to just make the meteor cocoon and sleep while waiting for your "capsule" to arrive on the next planet.

Is that confirmed? His "birth" reminded me of a phoenix... He did come from the flames afterall.

Well, I don't see how else you're gonna stuff a dragon into a rock. Maybe he transformed into pure energy or something.

I'd had always taken it that the meteor was a sort of hibernation state, and the fireball formation was him waking up again.

I always assumed he was just looking for a form the human brain can comprehend.

You can not comprehend his true form!

Yeah his meteor is just a means of travel while he sleeps and the fire is him waking up, much like Gigan's diamond and multi-explosion.

I really have no idea. Kaiju like Mothra have died from old age but for Godzilla I base it sort of off of G2K where they say his cells always fully regenerate and how he was not missing a single cell, cells normally die over time but he wasn't missing any. So Godzilla (at least the G2K version) is virtually immortal.

I just love how you say this when the post above you says Immortality and godhood are NOT the same thing. By that logic vampires are gods because they live forever. Nope, they're just overpowered creatures who live too damn long. :lol:

But Vampires can be killed anyways...so no "Inmortality" there.

There immortal as long as they're not killed. Hell Greek Mythology has Gods beings killed.

In Wolverine, we see Logan as a boy just before the Civil War. He was still alive, and not old, in the X Men films. It's just as likely that Godzilla's regenerative powers could give him an extraordinarily long life.

I may have misworded some of it but notice I said virtually immortal which in my head means that he is immortal unless there is some force that is more powerful than G2K Godzilla that can destroy him in time before he regenerates and or kills them first than he may die.
