YMMV / Godzilla in Hell

Go To

  • Broken Base: In the third issue: either Godzilla and Spacegodzilla killing each other and blowing up the entire Earth is awesome or really stupid.
  • Fridge Brilliance: The entirety of the miniseries could potentially explain Godzilla's tendencies towards being a heroic entity as opposed to a callous destroyer, if we assume that the ending takes place before his first major outing as a hero. While his brutality does allow him some victories, his most difficult battles in Hell tend to be won by accepting that his brute force isn't enough to win the day, and learning to accept that he is not above consequences for his actions. When faced with a creature physically stronger than him, instead of resisting it, he runs headfirst towards its mouth to deliver a decisive blow. When forced to fight in an endless cycle of death with Destroyah and Ghidorah, he accepts that he can't fight forever, and turns his efforts towards breaking the wall sealing him in. And when faced with an unclimbable mountain, creatures that he'd destroyed the home of and has been deprived of his atomic breath, it all finally clicks in his mind, and instead of fighting, he accepts the consequences of his actions and allows the creatures to devour him. And through this, he reaches enlightenment, and is allowed to live, changed by his experiences.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Godzilla battling demons in Hell, you say?
  • Nightmare Fuel: In the first issue, one of the first things Godzilla contends with is a raging "sandstorm" that appears to be made of the millions upon millions of people who have died from being in the wrong place during Godzilla's rampages. It's also one of the first of many things in Hell that he doesn't necessarily win against so much as survive.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Godzilla forces his way through a sandstorm made of millions of souls whose lives he ended in his countless rampages. Battle-weary from fighting endless demons, the King of Monsters in a similar vein to GMK Godzilla, could've swallowed up all the resident dead ghosts to power up. Simultaneously crippling the power of Hell as it collapses. For those unlucky consumed lost spirits, there is no Heaven. No Hell. Only Godzilla.
