Godzilla's Coolest Move Will Never Happen In The MonsterVerse

Introduction

Godzilla has a long history of iconic moves and memorable fight scenes, but there's one move that will never happen in the MonsterVerse. The new Godzilla has been designed in a way that prevents the recreation of this classic move, but the MonsterVerse has found clever ways to pay homage to it.

Starting with the 2014 Godzilla reboot, the MonsterVerse has brought together some of cinema's most iconic monsters in a shared continuity. From Godzilla to Rodan, King Kong, and King Ghidorah, the franchise has aimed to satisfy both long-time fans and new viewers with its fresh take.

Nods to History

The MonsterVerse is known for including nods to the history of its iconic monsters. For example, Godzilla: King of the Monsters contains a nod to Mothra's home on Infant Island, and Dr. Ishiro Serizawa is named after the first Godzilla director. These nods have been a way to honor the legacy of these monsters and their impact on cinema.

But despite these nods, fans hoping to see a recreation of Godzilla's most memorable fight move from his storied on-screen history will likely be disappointed. The physical design of the new Godzilla makes it impossible to replicate this iconic move in the MonsterVerse.

Homage and Adaptation

The coolest fight move that Godzilla ever displayed on-screen was seen in Godzilla vs. Megalon, where he performed an epic dropkick move. This move became iconic purely because of its wild and unexpected nature, but it's physically impossible for the new Godzilla to replicate.

However, the MonsterVerse has shown that it can reference and adapt iconic moments from Godzilla's history. In Godzilla vs. Kong, the producers paid homage to a similar moment from the original King Kong vs. Godzilla movie, demonstrating the franchise's ability to adapt and pay tribute to classic moves in a toned-down manner.
