    No, you're thinking the right amount here. Japan made Godzilla as response to the anxiety of being decimated by a force so massive as to be unimaginable. This anxiety mingled with the dishonor of losing, leading their imaginations to see Japan demolished continually as a breakaway prop in films.

    Meanwhile the US saw this, devoid of these notions, and went, "Cool."

    The we get a little boo-boo that we deserve and suddenly we're crying like we got nuked. Except, the US used this as an excuse to rev up the warmachine that turns Iraqi blood into US Dollars.

      I've always found it ironic that these chuds keep blaming the Japanese for being upset about Hiroshima and Nagasaki by bringing up Nanking or that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, but get pissy about the WTC as though our government was just minding its own business. Frankly with what our country's done to Vietnam, Korea, Iraq and frankly many, many countries, we're lucky we got out of it all mostly scot-free (if not entirely scot-free; I don't consider losing militarized chuds as an actual loss).

    Godzilla King of The Monsters had West Wing Guy as Rick from Rick n Morty. In any moral country this would be prosecuted.

    Nah, something always feels weird about American Godzilla moves. They remove his nuclear/military symbolism but rarely replace it with anything so it just becomes a vapid movie about beeg leezard.

    I don't remember the specifics but I recall that movie had more [ideology] than usual
