    Yes, you’re absolutely right, I’d forgotten about that.

    I think my main point is still valid though - Godzilla is a physical manifestation of the destruction that nuclear activity can cause.

    As I read on another post somewhere: “Ask a Japanese, and radiation creates monsters. Ask an American, and radiation creates superheros.”

      And that part still holds. As Godzilla moved (surprisingly quickly) from existential horror to pulp action, the radiation theme endured.
