The King Of Monsters. The God Of Destruction. The Big G. He is the indestructible nuclear nemesis of Tokyo. He is big in Japan, which rattles at the sound of his roar. Every time a new generation rebuilds Tokyo’s skyscrapers – bigger, higher – he just comes back stronger and taller to demolish them all over again. He is Gojira.
He’s also Godzilla, an unmistakable cinematic icon around the whole globe. The very name Godzilla is part of everyday language, a byword for something that inspires awe and fear. Having ‘God’ in the title probably helps, but even the ‘zilla’ affix has become common, spliced onto those that have become too extreme, gone too far – Bridezillas, Beerzillas, Dadzillas.
