Kaiju, one of the many many movie franchises out there. A new movie is coming out in March called “Godzilla x Kong New Empire.” If you look at Godzilla in the trailer you will notice something is different. You will notice he is pink. I'm here to discuss what the pink means and how it will affect Godzilla.
What is Godzilla? (For those who don't know)
Back up, I'm writing this article about this thing called Godzilla, but what if you don’t know who Godzilla is. I'm explaining that right now. Godzilla is a monster in the Legendary franchise that shoots atomic energy out of its mouth and currently rules over all the monsters that roam the earth. The first studio that filmed Godzilla is Toho Co.,Ltd. However the most recent studio that in my opinion has the best Godzilla movies is Legendary Studios. They made the movie where Godzilla has the pink.
How did Godzilla get pink?
Now that you all got a summary of what Godzilla is, it's time to get to what the heck the pink is. It's as simple as evolution. All things evolve, even a giant Kaiju that shoots atomic energy. Godzilla gets his power from something called the Hollow Earth. He absorbs that energy to become stronger.
Due to Godzilla evolving, when he absorbed that energy, it turned pink in his body instead of the normal blue.
What is the significance of the pink?
Like people might think, the pinks are important. I'm now trying to find out why. The pink ultimately just makes godzilla's atomic breath stronger. Godzilla's breath got stronger because the energy mutated in godzilla. It also helps one other of Godzilla's powers. It boosts his regenerative capabilities.So it will also help him heal.
Why pink?
Now, we now know that Godzilla evolved to turn pink, but why not another color? Is probably due to how his evolution works. After Godzilla vs Kong, Godzilla was tired out and Mecha Godzilla beat him up pretty good. He had to go down to the Hollow Earth to gain his strength back. Just a heads up I'm just theorizing from now until the end of this paragraph. He probably needed a lot of Hollow Earth energy to be able to function again. I think that because he absorbed a lot of energy, it changed his atomic powers to turn pink.
How will it affect the future of Godzilla? (AKA theorizing)
Now we need to know how this pink will affect Godzilla. As I've established earlier. The pink makes Godzilla’s atomic breath stronger. It may even give Godzilla new abilities. Now, in the movie there is this titan called Shimo. He is very similar to Godzilla except he is bigger. The pink might give Godzilla the edge he needs to beat Shimo.
Conclusion
To wrap it up, the pink on Godzilla looks very cool. I'm super excited to see it in the new movie when it comes out and it will benefit Godzilla in the future in his fight against Shimo and The Scar King.
