Oooh, perfect! Now to plant my seed.
Hello, ladies and gents of this thread! I come before all of you to pose a question:
Is SpaceGodzilla evil?
"What?!" I hear some of you think, "That arse sealed up Little Godzilla (whom you may or may not care about, lol) and tortured him. Then nearly destroyed the world. Why even debate?"
You have a point in that respect. SpaceGodzilla goes on about doing what he wants to do (kill Godzilla, conquer/destroy the world, all that jazz). But do recall near the end of the film, after SpaceG returns to space. In the English Dub, Miki clearly states that SpaceGodzilla had the same feelings.
The same feelings. As Godzilla? So SpaceGodzilla actually could have been a good uncle to Little Godzilla? So he could have been a defender of the Earth like Godzilla? Well, they are born from the same cells, after all. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to say that this movie has lackluster writing on the whole. But let's over-analyze/evaluate this.
SpaceGodzilla, strictly going by his movie source here, is a creature that was born after Biollante/Mothra take their leave into space, to which a Godzilla cell drifts away into a black hole, is spat out of a white hole (which I am fully aware doesn't exist), then bombarded by various energies of stars that gave birth to what you see here. Then he speeds straight to Earth to kill Godzilla and make the planet his... Well, you know.
So what am I trying to say? Well, if what Ms. Saegusa is saying is true, then the Godzilla body you see infested with crystals isn't the true enemy. It's the crystals themselves. Why else do you think that, a creature who shares feelings like his clone, he would go out of his way to torture then imprison Godzilla's son and kill the King of the Monsters? This is clearly the doing of the crystals.
Now, just strictly speaking about the film itself, there isn't a whole lot to go off of. You can easily have a different viewpoint or a counterargument. But going out of the films and looking into other Godzilla media, I've noticed something.
Recall Godzilla: Unleashed. Our two new monsters, Krystalak and Obsidius, born from SpaceGodzilla's crystals. Obsidius is the rampager who is lost in a new world (much like most of the Mutant monsters from said game), but Krystalak on the other hand is deliberately seeking the power surges to become the strongest thing in existence. Once again, this is another example where the devilish schemes come from the acts of a crystallized organism rather than an elemental/organic kaiju.
My point? The slightly botched (but still cool looking) Godzilla body you see the vessel of sentient crystal organisms that seek to destroy and kill. But maybe somewhere in there, the host could be looking for his own peace...
But this is all just a bit ol' theory. Feel free to agree or disagree! What are ya'lls opinion on the matter? A lot of this is coming from memory, so if I have any mistakes, let me know. XD Either way, my personal opinion of the monster remains the same; lame name, cool design and neat powers. Perhaps a bit overrated, but still cool in my eyes.
