He's just one big buoyant boy.

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 72 points 4 months ago

He looks badass from the top, but under the water his lil legs are paddling at full speed.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 4 months ago

That's a paddlin'!

[-] 5C5C5C@programming.dev 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

My head canon for sea-based Kaiju is they have a sack of muscles somewhere inside their body that can expand a cavity, kind of like the diaphragm expands the lungs, except instead of taking in air or water it just creates a volume of vacuum inside of them. This makes them extremely bouyant relative to the surrounding sea pressure, so they rapidly ascend and can casually float like a boat near the surface.

But if they ever want to dive again, they just let that cavity collapse and all their bouyancy goes away.

My head canon for sea-based Kaiju is they have a sack

That's all the explanation I need

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

I dunno. Seems a little unrealistic!

[-] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 3 points 4 months ago

💯 This is the true answer

It's spelled 'buoy'

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 93 points 4 months ago

It's way cuter if he's kicking his stubby ol legs

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 months ago

Godzilla is a duck confirmed

[-] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago
[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

I like to think he’s treading water, Godzilla is an expert in synchronized swimming.

[-] GeorgeTheFourth@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah all the above is head canon for me now.

He came from the deep ocean, and nobody thinks he's just the absolute master at treading water?? SMDH

[-] tyler@programming.dev 7 points 4 months ago

I mean he clearly just walks out of the water in the movies, he’s not suddenly coming up, like you clearly see him slowly get higher and higher out of the water as he gets closer to shore. Also the ocean isn’t that deep close to shore.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 43 points 4 months ago

I always assumed he was in a Harbour or near shore.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Seamounts are a thing too.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I don't know what those are so I never assumed that.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 4 points 4 months ago

I don't know either but I think they're probably islands but just don't reach the surface

Everyone always thinks the ocean is super deep from the beach outward. This is not the case. Just because a boat will float seemingly close to shore doesnt mean the hull is way down in the water

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 months ago

An aircraft carrier only has a draft of some 12 meters. Godzilla is over 100m. Much of the North Sea is only like 40m deep, with shallows much less than that.

[-] KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 months ago

That's how I usually interpret it except in Godzilla Minus One :

Tap for spoilerA whole plot point is that he is in 1500m of water

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 32 points 4 months ago

OMG is this what whales do too? What about other fishes?? What have they been lying to us??

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 11 points 4 months ago

And boats and icebergs. Even me. I can't swim, I just extend my legs. and fake it.

He's firing from both ends.

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

or maybe its godzillas stacked all the way down.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Godzilla is Kaiju Jesus

[-] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

He got on water wings(4 Pontoon boats).. or he's got a lot of gas from eating those spicy Asian femboys and is naturally buoyant

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

The new Godzilla Minus 1 movie actually goes over this, >!they even use it against Godzilla to try and defeat him.!<

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

He's obviously built himself thousands of little elevators over millenia. What did you guys think he was doing down there? Sleeping?

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 4 months ago

In his house at R'lyeh

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I mean, most people doesn't even question how a dude walked on water, either.

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

He was the son of Godzilla, after all.

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

clearly he swims when he's not in the shallows

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago
[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Finally a pertinent question. Thanks

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Everyone is in here talking about Godzilla legs.

No one is talking about the Godzilla pizza slice.
