However, things changed as the franchise moved on, with Godzilla becoming an anti-hero who battled other monsters.

The American MonsterVerse has made more changes to the Godzilla mythology.

Since Gojira hit screens in Japan,11 different versions of Godzillahave been introduced.

The two are very different creatures.

The Toho Godzilla was mostly a force of nature.

If this graphic novel is canon,Godzilla survived that time and ended up hibernating.

This eliminated the original idea that the atomic bomb created Godzilla, and the bomb instead awakened him.

The Toho Godzilla could have woken up from his hibernation, the same as the MonsterVerse version.
