The “King of the Monsters,” Godzilla first appeared onscreen as a villain, and he has done some terrible things in his movies. In the original 1954 horror movie Godzilla, the giant radioactive monster represented a living nuclear explosion. Though he emerged from the sea and destroyed Tokyo with his size and atomic breath, he became unexpectedly popular. As Godzilla’s movie franchise grew, the titular character was given an ecological angle, in which he warned humanity about respecting the Earth. Godzilla has now appeared in many forms and shows different powers throughout his movies.
