Was the Godzilla in this movie the original Godzilla in the 1954 film? It's implied in the film that the Godzilla who attacked Tokyo in 1954 was supposedly destroyed but no corpse was ever found.
shareWell if you watched the original Japanese version you would know that the oxygen destroyer not only killed all sea life but pretty much disintegrated it too. But whatever, it's a good reboot but I prefer the japan version.
shareI believe (and I'll be the first to admit that I could be wrong on this) that the official word from Toho is that this is a different Gojira, but is assumed to be the original, as no body was found in 1954. This is my understanding, anyway.

Story
It isn't explicitly stated in this film, but later films in the Heisei series establish that this Godzilla is in fact a separate creature from the one that attacked in 1954. The U.S. version makes it even more confusing, because Steve Martin at one point says "30 years ago, they never found any corpse," as if implying that this is the same Godzilla from 1954. But going by official canon, this Godzilla and the one from 1954 are separate creatures.
