Could we kill something like Godzilla?

That… makes a surprising amount of sense.

That’s because it’s not even the subtext of Godzilla, it’s pretty much text. The original *Godzilla *is We Got Nuked (and it’s really fucking scary) : The Movie.

Wiki sez :

Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka stated that, “The theme of the film, from the beginning, was the terror of the bomb. Mankind had created the bomb, and now nature was going to take revenge on mankind.”[3] Director Ishirō Honda filmed Godzilla’s rampage on Tokyo with the mentality that the monster’s onslaught was a parallel and physical manifestation of an Atom bomb attack. He stated, “If Godzilla had been a dinosaur or some other animal, he would have been killed by just one cannonball. But if he were equal to an atomic bomb, we wouldn’t know what to do. So, I took the characteristics of an atomic bomb and applied them to Godzilla.”[4]

Well, yeah, I knew that. But the extension to the other movies, when Godzilla has become an ally and defender of Japan, for some reason never really occurred to me.

Ah, OK, I misunderstood then. Apologies.

Three words:

Justin Bieber sings.

Ergo, Godzilla commits suicide.

…Godzilla commits suicide.

How?
Besides, there’s a YouTube video floating around of a Justin Beiber performance slowed down 8 times, and it’s actually not that bad, in an ambient kind of way.

Well no, that’d just piss him off.

I’m afraid Godzilla could not be killed by any conventional or non conventional force. The reason for this is not it indestructible kaiju-flesh substance but really the massive proportions of Godzilla would render most of our conventional missles, (sparrow, patriots, stingers and rim 66’s useless).

When your talking about a moving creature that’s as thick at 5 football fields with a bone and scale substance, penetration would just not be adequate enough to substantially damage it. Think about getting a bee sting except if you had a thick rubber suit on with a bony epidermis. Unfortunately that would be the extent of damage godzilla would endure. Sorry folks but this is the fact.

This is just silly. A Sparrow missile is the wrong thing to use, that’s all. Something like a GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, or a bunker-buster, or the planned Massive Ordnance Penetrator, would certainly excavate a gigantic hole in Godzilla unless he was magical.

At the moment, I can’t find a cite for the crater a 21,000-pound MOAB would produce, but a 2,000-pound Mark 84 bomb will make a 50-foot by 36-foot crater (and it’s one-tenth the mass).
