Godzilla: The Planet Eater is Out on Netflix

ignorantGuy,
Japan has always been hyper-conscious of the nature vs. technology discussion. However, the idea that civilizations end up destroying themselves once a certain level of technology is reached is an extremely western philosophical/scientific take.

There's a theory known as The Great Filter theory which suggests - if it's ahead of us - we will hit a wall in which the evolutionary process fails to get beyond and the greatest likelihood is we destroy ourselves by our own devices. I don't know if the anime trilogy was hitting specifically on that, but it does establish instances of worlds and people that hit a wall and are ultimately destroyed.

More specifically, hyper advancement brings about monsters, and those monsters screw up the whole paradigm, thus "necessitating" a harvest by Ghidorah.

You know, it's kinda funny how, if Ghidorah had his way, Godzilla would've just been a particularly plump apple :P
