Anybody else psyched by the new Godzilla trailer?

[John Bailey]

I'm looking forward to it. I'm one of the few people who loved the
1998 US version.

But it's always interested me how the Japanese Godjira evolved into
such a complex thing over the decades, sometimes positing the monster
as a hero, sometimes a villain, sometimes a victim, sometimes a clown.
And the way he works variously as a metaphor for nuclear power, for US
power, for the power of nature makes reading him such a rewarding
thing.

Whereas Hollywood keeps making the same Godzilla movie again and
again... let's talk about that.
