Healing ability

[edit]

Godzilla's left eye (and face) was badly burned by Hedorah's acid and possibly he was blinded but he had healed by time the next film came along. At the end of "Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" Godzilla blows himself apart but his beating heart which survived had formed a new Godzilla around it by the next film (in the fashion that a beating heart which survived a nuclear bomb made a new Frankenstein monster around it in "Frankenstein Conquers the World"). It was said in "Godzilla Vs Destroyah" that he had a healing ability which could make him unbeatable by any man made weapon, though that could not save him from nuclear meltdown as his internal nuclear reactor went wrong at the end of that film.(83.37.123.24 (talk) 12:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC))[reply]



Tomoyuki's Reaction

[edit]

I watched a video on Youtube with Yoshimitsu Banno discussing his early film work and his experience with the Godzilla series. He brings up the book about Godzilla's film history and states two things surprised him. The one thing was when Tomoyuki Tanaka stated that he would Ban-no him from directing sci-fi/Godzilla films (multilingual pun,I had to say it) since he didn't like the direction Banno had taken it in. The second part was that a sequel would take place in Africa. His first response was that he was unaware of the statement that Tanaka provided to the book's author but he was aware that he wasn't fond of the film due to the change in direction to Godzilla's character and believes that the psychedelic scenes were a factor in his distaste for Godzilla vs. Hedorah and he said the flying scene was approved by Tanaka through his agent while he was in the hospital. The second response was that the Africa story was probably some old story he had shown Tanaka which he remembered while being interviewed by the book's author and that his next Godzilla film wouldn't have been a Hedorah 2. He goes on to state that he advised Tanaka on bringing back Godzilla for the 80's and that they gathered a team that had all decided Godzilla should return to the more serious tone Godzilla initially had. With all of this in mind, I think the two had maintained a decent friendship and the statements Tanaka made were either a friendly jab at Banno or a statement behind his back. So I think the history book led to factual errors due to misinterpretations and an error made by Tanaka. I watched this video years ago and I myself misinterpreted his statements by believing that he implied that the book was wrong and I tried editing the page to display the correct information with a link to the interview but it was taken down due to copyright I believe but since then someone edited the page to reflect what I brought up. But one small statement in the viedo I failed to notice until now was that Banno had said Tanaka provided this information to the author and if that is correct then that banning Banno from directing quote isn't wrong but given the context of the whole situation, I think he didn't try ruin his film career as some people claim. Although I guess it's possible Tanaka tried to have more control over the series and Banno's influence. So while not officially banning him from directing, his strengthened control effectively stopped Banno from directing so when he was interviewed by the book's author he told him that since that is it how it played out. I could be wrong on some aspect of this still so I would recommend anyone who wants to edit the Godzilla vs. Hedorah page to research this subject more and watch the Yoshimitsu Banno interview to give a truthful display of the film's history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.66.31.58 (talk) 00:10, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
