Pregnant Kaiju


I love this movie, so not trying to say this as a negative thing; it's just an observation. If the Kaiju are all clones of one another and are grown, as they say, there should be no reason why a Kaiju should be pregnant. I guess the only explanation is that Kaiju don't follow the same rules as Earth animals, which kinda need to be fertilized in order to become pregnant, but it seems that in other respects they follow the same rules as our animals. The other argument would be that that one was specifically engineered by the "masters" to be pregnant, but this also seems unlikely. Kaiju seem to be expendable so the idea it would live long enough to give birth is not a certainty and, if they are being cloned anyways, having them able to give birth to more seems to be unnecessary.

Anyways, just an observation.

Could it be the 'unborn' Kaiju was a 'capture vessel' for the wacky scientist who mind melded with the Kaiju brain? I mean, the 'bridge goes both ways' right?



Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

Interesting alternate theory, but I think it's unlikely. The "masters" would be banking on the "mother" Kaiju dying and the baby surviving, all to establish a link with someone they've already linked with anyways and the benefit of that is probably not all that great for such an elaborate ruse. Also, I gather that it takes some time for them to grow the Kaiju and I don't think much time has passed since Newton originally bridged with the first Kaiju brain.

I think more than likely, it's just one of those things where the writers didn't expect anyone to notice or care about the scientific inconsistency (I fall into the "noticed, but didn't really care" category) ;)

Yes, the pregnant Kaiju was a bit weird, but hey, it's only a movie.

Besides, maybe whoever makes the Kaiju's doesn't have a parental leave program.
