does anyone know if godzilla will have his regenative cells?

Huge-Ben

i have been thinking about this for a long time now, and i realize that this is the original godzilla from 1954 but only updated a bit with CGI but he had his regenative cells in the first film but i dont know if this has been confirmed yet or not for this film

what about you guys do you know if this has been confirmed yet or not?

will just have to wait and find out

Nobody knows. However, if he is to have his RegeneratorG1, it will be a slow process of healing. Since it sounds (by the figure's description) he will get beat up pretty badly, and he may stay that way for awhile.

G. H. (Gman)

Godzilla did not have regenerative capabilities in the original film. That trait wasn't put into the Godzilla canon until 1989 with Godzilla vs. Biollante.

That said, I hope he doesn't have it and he's simply tough, like the Showa Godzilla.

Linkzilla

Well, considering that he will apparently get battle damage in the film, I'd say I'd say I'm about 75% sure that he will have his regenerative powers, since he's supposed to go back to being an unstoppable force like the original in this film, and he wouldn't seem all that unstoppable if he got injured and didn't heal from the wound.

Dragonlord Tevin

He probably has slow regenerative healing, but I do want him to have a powerful healing factor like Wolverine and Hulk, more like Hulk you know, with the tough skin and healing factor, making Godzilla almost unstoppable

Come on dude at this point no one knows jack about this movie. It's all speculation and rumor as of now. 

True American Godzilla

considering these people want realism in the movie, or as much as possible, then they wouldn't use super regeneration. From my own personal research online, that type of regeneration (and Wolverine's from X-Men) isn't realistic.

Now a super tough armored hide would be possible.

Deadite Kaiju

We don't know anything yet but I hope he does and he most probably will.

@gman2887

so are you telling me that my official godzilla compendium book is nothing but lies?

i dont think so TOHO, J.D. LEES, and MARC the publisher of this book give us all the details and it says that godzilla had his regenative cells in the first one but never given detail about it at all in the showa series. no offense to you but ill take their word over yours any day

G. H. (Gman)

@BigBadBen

You don't have to take my word. It's fact. J.D. Lees has always written his material with bias and Marc Cereceni is merely a fan, not an authority. The "Official" Godzilla Compendium book is more a beginners guide and it's not entirely factual.

If you want more accurate and authortive books/information about the Godzilla series you should read material by Keith Aiken, Bob Johnson, August Ragone, Richard Pusateri, Stuart Galbraith, Steve Ryfle, David Kalat and Ed Godziszewski. (Ryfle, Kalat, Ragone and Godziszewski are probably the most informative of that list.) Any of those people will tell you that Godzilla's regenerative powers were not invented until 1989, when Godzilla vs. Biollante was written by Kazuki Omori.

The only way you're going to prove that Godzilla had his regenerative abilities in the Showa series, namely the original film, is if you find a quote by Ishiro Honda, Tomoyuki Tanaka, Takeo Murata or Shigeru Kayama who made the movie. And you won't. Because they never wrote Godzilla to have regenerative powers.

@ gman2887

good point and yeah i was only 9 when i got that official godzilla compendium book so its true i was a beginner at that time still though when missles,bombs,tanks, and other monsters couldn't really inflict a whole mess of damage to him i found that to be belivable because no matter how hard humanity tried in the first film they really couldnt' kill him other than the oxygen destroyer

G. H. (Gman)

One could probably make the argument for it, no doubt. But Ishiro Honda and his team just wrote Godzilla to be really tough. An "impenetrable hide" is, I believe, how it was phrased originally.

Huge-Ben

and a product of the h-bomb. here is something we both can agree on the showa godzilla was the best fighter

ゴジラ 2014 Rules

Gman you are wrong toho kingdom said Godzilla 54 Atomic ray super regenrative powers 

Godzilla (1954) and Godzilla (Heisei)

G. H. (Gman)

Toho Kingdom is not an official or authoritive source. It's just a fan site. The original movie nor any of the Showa movies do not mention regenerative powers. The creators of the film never bring it up either.

Unless it was said with in the movie or from the creators, the retcon is inconclusive.

ゴジラ 2014 Rules

um yea in Godzilla vs mechaGodzilla 1974

G. H. (Gman)

Nope. Godzilla's wounds healed, granted, but it could've also been the water that washed the blood away when he fell into the ocean. Plus no one in that movie mentions Godzilla's regenerative powers. No one in the cast or crew of the film did either. Godzilla's regenerative powers was not an official trait of the character until Godzilla vs. Biollante. It was written in by Kazuki Omori in 1989.

ゴジラ 2014 Rules

dude no needs to say look godzilla has regenation cells in a movie it sounds really stupid 

ゴジラ 2014 Rules

and how do you know he has regenration cells in GvsB and not in other films like in showa films 

G. H. (Gman)

I've already explained how I know three times now.

Because they don't mention his regeneration abilities in the Showa movies ever. Even if a character doesn't need to say it because it, "sounds really stupid" it still needs to be evident to the audience onscreen. There is no evidence within any of the individual movies themselves that he has regenerative cells. There has never been a recorded interview with any of the writers, directors or special effects directors from the Showa series that have said Godzilla has regenerative capabilities. They never wrote him to have that. There's even proof he doesn't since he didn't heal immediately from the wounds Hedorah, Gigan and MechaGodzilla gave him.

The only known Godzillas to have regenerative capabilities is the Heisei Godzilla and Godzilla 2000. Kazuki Omori clearly gave Godzilla that trait in Godzilla vs. Biollante and practically every other character in the movie mentions it. Wataru Mimura borrowed the same concept from Omori when he wrote Godzilla 2000-- which is the crux of the whole film.
