It’s way cuter if he’s kicking his stubby ol legs

I like to think he’s treading water, Godzilla is an expert in synchronized swimming.
GeorgeTheFourth@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah all the above is head canon for me now.

He came from the deep ocean, and nobody thinks he’s just the absolute master at treading water?? SMDH
tyler@programming.dev 4 months ago
I mean he clearly just walks out of the water in the movies, he’s not suddenly coming up, like you clearly see him slowly get higher and higher out of the water as he gets closer to shore. Also the ocean isn’t that deep close to shore.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I always assumed he was in a Harbour or near shore.
Thteven@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Seamounts are a thing too.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I don’t know what those are so I never assumed that.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Everyone always thinks the ocean is super deep from the beach outward. This is not the case. Just because a boat will float seemingly close to shore doesnt mean the hull is way down in the water
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
An aircraft carrier only has a draft of some 12 meters. Godzilla is over 100m. Much of the North Sea is only like 40m deep, with shallows much less than that.
KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
That’s how I usually interpret it except in Godzilla Minus One :
Tap for spoiler
A whole plot point is that he is in 1500m of water

OMG is this what whales do too? What about other fishes?? What have they been lying to us??
Holzkohlen@feddit.de 4 months ago
And boats and icebergs. Even me. I can’t swim, I just extend my legs. and fake it.

He’s firing from both ends.
Num10ck@lemmy.world 4 months ago
or maybe its godzillas stacked all the way down.
boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 4 months ago
He got on water wings(4 Pontoon boats)… or he’s got a lot of gas from eating those spicy Asian femboys and is naturally buoyant

Godzilla is Kaiju Jesus

The new Godzilla Minus 1 movie actually goes over this, >!they even use it against Godzilla to try and defeat him.!<
kuneho@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I mean, most people doesn’t even question how a dude walked on water, either.
Jerkface@lemmy.world 4 months ago
He was the son of Godzilla, after all.

He’s obviously built himself thousands of little elevators over millenia. What did you guys think he was doing down there? Sleeping?
Holzkohlen@feddit.de 4 months ago
In his house at R’lyeh
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
clearly he swims when he’s not in the shallows
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yes.
bitwaba@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Everyone is in here talking about Godzilla legs.
No one is talking about the Godzilla pizza slice.
chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
Finally pertinent questions. Thanks
RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
He’s just one big buoyant boy.
jettrscga@lemmy.world 4 months ago
He looks badass from the top, but under the water his lil legs are paddling at full speed.
RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 4 months ago
That’s a paddlin’!
5C5C5C@programming.dev 4 months ago
My head canon for sea-based Kaiju is they have a sack of muscles somewhere inside their body that can expand a cavity, kind of like the diaphragm expands the lungs, except instead of taking in air it just creates a volume of vacuum inside of them. This makes them extremely bouyant relative to the surrounding sea pressure, so they rapidly ascend and can casually float like a boat near the surface.
But if they ever want to dive again, they just let that cavity collapse and all their bouyancy goes away.
nonailsleft@lemm.ee 4 months ago
That’s all the explanation I need
TheFriar@lemm.ee 4 months ago
I dunno. Seems a little unrealistic!
abfarid@startrek.website 4 months ago
To get unnecessary scientific here, that wouldn’t change the overall density of the body, no? Even if there’s now a cavity with vacuum, the matter that was occupying that space just moved somewhere else within the volumes of the body and the overall density remained the same.
Now, if it pushed some matter out, air or water, and created a vacuum cavity, that might work. But I’m not an engineer, so correct me if I’m wrong.

It’s spelled ‘buoy’
