Few multimedia franchises are as appropriately intimidating and massive as that of Godzilla, and for good reason. A beloved property out of Japan, the series was born as a greater commentary on the dangers of nuclear devastation, with its eponymous character often standing in to represent nuclear weapons, and how often humanity can be powerless to resist. But it's since evolved past even just those themes, to address concerns about the environment, inadequate and inefficient government responses to imminent disasters, while still putting spectacle after spectacle in the spotlight as Godzilla faces off against an array of terrifying kaiju. But one particular story put the focus squarely on Godzill as a character, rather than a force of nature.
