For anyone wondering about why it’s called “Minus One” it’s because Japan was ground zero due to the nuclear bombs. And then Godzilla showed up and put them in the negatives. Essentially meaning Godzilla is another cataclysmic event

The Odo Island form was so much savage, feral and absolutely brutal, I love it. It's fluid, gigantic and awesome. Would love to see more of that specific beast.

I like how even after Godzilla healed from the mine blowing up in his mouth, he appeared to have a scar on that side of his face.

Another thing unique about this Godzilla was that the repaired flesh wasn't perfect. It was more like scar tissue, and far more vulnerable to damage. Use of Godzilla's own heat ray and being at ground zero of multiple explosions, we see the flesh from Godzilla's previous injuries get burned away.

The fact that a godzilla movie managed to make human characters so enjoyable is a huge achievement

One could say that the spines on his back pushing out also act as cooling rods like in nuclear reactors, and push out to charge the atomic breath, but then push back in once the beam is released

I loved this movie, but the best part was the design of Godzilla and how he looked like the classics and still looked menacing. Can’t wait for more.

[MonsterMasher]

This version of Godzilla makes me realize just how much we needed a resurgence in just a truly villainous Godzilla. The antihero shtick is cool and all, but Minus One was SUCH an amazing return to form. Definitely my new favorite Godzilla film

That healing factor is terrifying. Seeing it recover from the bomb in its head is already bad. Seeing a chunk of its body possibly starting to recover is worse. He might even come back way more durable or stronger because of it. Great movie, can't wait to see it again whenever it comes out on bluray.

The intresting thing about minus one is that according to the novelization of the movie he actually had regen BEFORE being mutated. So his incredible regeneration is not a mutation but rather a NATURAL trait his kind posseses. Said regeneration being so fast and potent it could outperform the nuke as it healed him fast enough to stave off the heat and blast of the bomb.

[shockwavegaming]

I noticed how throughout the course of the movie his atomic breath really damaged him, but as the movie goes on it damages him less and less as he adapts to it, makes you wonder how explosives and large caliber guns will affect him in the future after he regenerates again. Also he might get taller as an adaptation as well!

godzillas eyes bulging out from the rapid decompression in the last atomic breath attempt was wild looking

[chadgorosaurus]

The scene where Minus One got defeated was amazing. Gotta be one of if not the best Godzilla defeat in the franchise.

[thed-rex]

I just absolutely love how they called out for Godzilla’s pre-mutated form that he WAS in fact a dinosaur species that survived the KT extinction event of the Mesozoic era 🙌☄️🦖 I mean we’ve seen this before in other films but like as a dinosaur lover, that really was SO COOL to see him in his badass original dino form like even non-mutated Godzilla could kick ass!!!💪🦖

[Isheian]

Just an argument. I believe the director said Godzilla survived the nuke thanks to its crazy regenerative abilities. It couldnt recover to its pre-irradiated state. The Zeros 20mm wouldn’t have done anything.

[Jose_Lopez]

The one thing about the minus one Godzilla is how his spines lighten up and purtroded out and then blasted his atomic breath it kinda reminded me of charging up a blaster gun but except it was launched as a blast of atomic destruction it was awesome.

[t-rexcellentreviews]

Honestly, I never realised that mark on the women’s neck or surprisingly fast recovery, might have something to do with Godzilla… that is… unsettling to say the least…

8:17 I swear the Axolotl is like a tiny godzilla just waiting for a nuclear detonation to release their adorable horrifying true power

[chef]

It was also recently confirmed by the director that the Godzilla we see after operation crossroads was more burn scars than scales.
Godzilla was always able to regenerate (even in its pre-radiates state) but because Godzilla was left in a mess after the explosion, it’s regeneration went out of control and caused him to grow into the size we saw later.
The radiation did nothing to his regeneration ability.

One of my favourite parts about this Godzilla's atomic breath is that while he charges up, the dorsal spines act kind of like control rods on a nuclear reactor. Such a cool detail that makes this one of the all-time Godzilla movies.
