Because there's only one Godzilla, and males can't lay eggs...

shareWell since there's only one Godzilla...

shareGood catch. You uncovered a plot hole
shareNot a plot hole at all! Why shouldn't a female monster want a literal night on the town now and then! [*stomp* *stomp*]
Godzilla is a male. The actor who plays Godzilla in this film is Seiji Onaka.
shareNo, the actor inside the Godzilla costume is male.
Godzilla the character can't be male, males can't reproduce without a female, but some reptile species can breed parthenogenically.
HOW DARE YOU! Don't you know? It's 2021. Godzilla was obviously a male before transitioning. That's where it retains most of its badassery. But now that it's female it still has some of its male parts here or there, a hermaphrodite if you will. Soon it will become gender fluid/non-binary.
shareTransitioning doesn't change reproductive capacity! Nope, the only way a Son of Godzilla can exist, is if Godzilla is biologically female.
shareOr it's possible Godzilla reproduces asexually.
shareNope, its just a plot hole. By the way in the next film, Destroy all Monsters, that one takes place in the year 1999. Yet Godzillas son never grew up. Thats another plot hole
shareI presume it's a different son in 1999, and that the first one either grew up or died. Or daughter, since all parthenogenic births result in female offspring. Did you know that there seem to be some all-female species of lizard?
shareThere is an all female species of lizard? That sounds like a plot hole in biology to me
shareI said "seem to be" because yes, its apparently known that there are lizards that can reproduce parthenogenically instead of sexually, and there are several species of lizard that are thought to be all female. I added the qualifiers because its not like someone had gone out and checked the sex of every single lactera lizard in the Caucusus, or the whitptails in Arizona.
I'd post a link, but im on my phone. Google is your friend for now.
I'm one of those people that actually knows more than google
shareBetcha Google knows more about lizard reproduction than you do!
shareBut I know more about plot holes
shareWe're both correct.
shareYea but I am able to declare that an all female lizard species is a plot hole in biology so I win

I thought I'd seen everything on the internet, now I have a Parthenogenesis Denier!
Godzilla is a male which is why I pointed out the plot hole of him having a son.
shareThere were two... One is now a pile of bones in Tokyo Bay, the other wanders through this next series of films. We have no idea how long the egg sat there buried, waiting to hatch. I suspect the assumption has always been that the first Godzilla laid it.
shareI don't really think they thought about this at all when they made these films.
shareYou may be right. Every Godzilla film after the first is just a whole 'nother universe really. I mean, Angillas was a hasty attempt to cash in, and they had to have a new Godzilla appear but as for which Godzilla laid an egg... I doubt they cared.
shareOf course they didn't care. The guy who directed the original Godzilla film quit right afterwards, and started making automobiles
shareHa, what? That's not remotely true, he went on to direct like a dozen more Godzilla movies.
shareDidn't he start the automobile company called Honda?
shareUm, no.
shareUm, yes. Ever hear of the Honda cars?
shareHonda cars and Honda the film production company are two different things. It's like saying Jim Smith Cars and Joe Smith plastics are the same company when they're two different entities completely. Ishiro Honda is the film producer and owner of the Toho Film Company.
