With the Monsterverse in 2014, a female Godzilla is likely now. Not that there ever will be one shown of course. But the current one had to come from somewhere.
And with him being part of a species and not just a one off mutation. It makes sense. Or is that just me?

It makes sense. I really hope we get to see godzilla have a son in the legendary-verseΒ

Funnily enough, there's a female homage to Godzilla in the video game "Destroy All Humans! 2" - what's more, she's actually called Kojira.
Fast forward to 3:00 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iifxogβ¦
In any case, nice idea and nice artwork.

You're welcome. I thought it was an interesting coincidence when I saw in your description that it wasn't inspired by the DAH!2 monster, so I just decided to let you know.

Isn't Godzilla 2014 already confirmed a girl?
...Lesbian Godzilla?Β

Why not? It's a fucking big ass dinosaur. Does it matter what sex it is? I'm just saying, I heard it confirmed by the people who worked on it that Godzilla 2014 said it was female.Β

That "big ass dinosaur" is pretty much universally regarded as male,Β so I doubt the reboot that's remained awfully faithful to the source material thus far would make the decision to change his sex; and that's not even mentioning that they refer to him using "he" and "him" pronouns in the film. If Godzilla were female, they would make it a point to address this in the film to the audience.

IDK about you, but I've seen lots of people automatically assume animals are male, especially when they are reptiles.Β
And, oh, the source material that had "him" take care of two separate Godzilla children that existed even though "his" mate is dead? You know, exhibiting traits that most male animals don't exhibit, especially when it's not their own child? Which they wouldn't be if it was male?Β
And not necessarily, if it wasn't important at all to the story. Just like how Godzilla being supposedly male has never been important in any of the other movies.Β

Of course people would assume that, but in Godzillaβs case, their assumption is correct.
No, Godzilla has never had more than one βchildβ per continuity; Minya (or Minilla) in the Showa continuity, and Godzilla Junior in the Heisei continuity. Besides, both of these children are adopted, with him having found their abandoned eggs. Besides, itβs never been stated that he ever had a mate.
The thing is that if an American studio were to make a change such as changing the characterβs gender, it would most likely be addressed either in the movie itself or in an interview; perhaps in the Art of Godzilla book which details the production of the movie.

Then like... Where did the eggs come from. How come they just happened to be both Godzillas? Where are all the other Godzillas that are laying these eggs? You'd think if there was more than one around it'd be a little bit more noticeable. And usually male animals don't adopt since that's kinda not an instinct they have. In fact, most males of any species tend to view young that isn't their own as competition. When you hear animals adopting other animals, it's usually a female who is having trouble having their own young. And uh, IDK, man. A mate would explain the whole "Godzilla dying by the oxygen destroyer yet somehow coming back for a second movie" thing.Β
'Course, there's different continuities for different sets of films, but films mentioning the oxygen destroyer tend to point out that it has been used before and has been the only thing to kill a Godzilla before. So...Β
I don't think it would really matter. Anyways, this was something I heard but I have failed so far to find anything saying anything about 2014 Godzilla being female. So, this was all possibly misremembered hearsay on my part. In reality, Godzilla's sex doesn't matter. I'm just saying there is evidence that points towards Goji being female based on behaviors exhibited in some films. I don't think it's a male in all continuities is what I'm saying.
π: 0 β©: 1
Β Citation needed? How about the fact that Godzilla's been referred to as a he and a him for 63 years now in every single film he's ever been in?
It's convenient for the plot; of course it's not realistic, it's a Godzilla movie, what do you expect? You're digging way too deep into this. And as for male animals adopting, again, it's a Godzilla movie. They aren't exactly realistic to begin with, and besides that, he's a fictional animal of a fictional species, so the rules might be different for his species. The fact that Godzilla always comes back after the Oxygen Destroyer is usually explained via him having simply survived, or a second member of his species appearing after his death. Usually, this second Godzilla (appearing in the Showa series, Heisei series, and the Kiryu Saga) is regarded as either a sibling to the first or a completely unrelated individual entirely by fans; in fact, the makers of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S have stated that it isn't implausible to say that the second Godzilla is the son of the first.
You're right when you say it doesn't matter, but why change the formula after 63 years of Godzilla being a male? It's a quite unnecessary and, if I'm to be honest, stupid change. And regardless of the behaviors exhibited, Godzilla is regarded as male in all continuities so far.

Which relates back to the "people assume most animals, especially reptiles, are male" thing and none of the movies ever have anything that makes Godzilla definitely female or male. Well, except for that one with Zilla in it where it was a female, but we don't talk about that movie. Also, a lot of people don't even know how to identify the sex of reptiles, so it's not like it's a mammal where it's easy to figure out with a look. This also relates back to how the majority of these movies were made in a time where it was commonplace to use "he" as a gender neutral pronoun. If the gender of the subject is indeterminate, people tended and still tend to say "he".Β
Well, fictional animal aside, it is a dinosaur. Those existed, and while we don't know many things about these extinct creatures, some of their behaviors are known and are familiar. Also, IDK, it doesn't make sense to me to make an animal display behaviors of female animals which is only unrealistic when applied to male animals, when you could just... Say its female and have that be completely reasonable. You are allowed to have your own interpretation, but it just seems silly to me to completely dismiss the idea of Godzilla being female because people say it's a "he." People call animals "he" all the time on first impression and even when corrected.Β
Also Godzilla being the child of the first means that SOME mate must be out there and this mate could possibly be female. If we're going to assume that there is more than one living Godzilla, I.E. a mate and child, then it's possible more than one Godzilla is terrorizing Tokyo. Meaning possible female ones. Also a viable theory that probably makes more sense than the "only one living Godzilla not counting any young" theory. Although this doesn't account for how the world even deals with more than one Godzilla at a time.Β
If it doesn't matter, why do you insist that Godzilla is male despite things that suggest otherwise? There is nothing that definitely confirms what sex Godzilla is and I'm sorry to say, it being called "he" and "king" doesn't quite cut it for me. Powerful things are associated with masculinity all the time and people tend to assume reptiles, especially dinosaurs, are male. There's nothing wrong with thinking Godzilla is a male, but that is not my interpretation, and I don't see why it is silly to look a little deeper into a series and make theories based on what could work in universe. If anything it kinda makes the series a little less silly, at least in some regards.

To be fair, even Zilla was male; he simply had the ability to reproduce asexually, with Matthew Broderick's character referring to the monster as "a very unusual he". Of course there's nothing too specific that would make Godzilla a definite male, but if you wanna dig deeper into it and make theories, then perhaps Godzilla's gender is in fact known because of analysis of genetic material left behind in his rampages (this would at least make sense in continuities such as the Heisei series).Β
Contrary to popular belief, the only Godzilla that's an actual dinosaur is the Heisei Godzilla, and he's a heavily mutated one at that; the Showa Godzilla, pretty much every Millenium Godzilla, and the Legendary Godzilla are all some variation of prehistoric reptile that predates the dinosaurs. Your main argument in the case of Godzilla being female is that he looks after adopted offspring, but the knowledge of prehistoric animals at the time of this character's conception was very limited and I doubt much science was put into it. Regardless, that's about the only female trait Godzilla has ever exhibited.
Speaking of traits that could explain gender, here's one you could argue for him being male; he's so damn aggressive. Godzilla seems to have a knack for stomping around looking for fights and fiercely protecting his territory from other monsters. As far as I'm concerned, a female Godzilla would be less violent. The males could be, like with many other species, be the large and aggressive ones. If there are any surviving females, which is far from unlikely, they're likely hiding in the ocean depths while their male counterparts are battling otherworldly threats on a daily basis.
I'm not saying there aren't any female Godzillas, but I am saying the one(s) we always see stomping through cities and fighting other monsters is a male; it's definitely likely that there's at least one or two out there that are female, but like I said, I doubt they'd be the ones causing such a fuss. The eggs that hatched Minilla and Godzilla Junior respectively could perhaps have been dormant; there's no evidence that they hatched recently. It's entirely plausible that their eggs can remain dormant for long periods of time, as is the case with the dragons of Game of Thrones, for example.
Again, there's only really one trait that's even remotely feminine displayed by Godzilla, and being called "he" and "king" is plenty proof for me; 63 years is an awfully long amount of time to be constantlyΒ
misgendering a giant radioactive reptile. If he were female, Toho (the company owning the character) would've made this abundantly clear a long time ago; besides that, it would've been at least mentioned in one or two films.

Reptiles that reproduce asexuality like that tend to be female, though, which is why I mistook it for female. After all, Zilla is some sort of mutant iguana and female iguanas can perform parthenogenesis. If it can reproduce asexually it probably has a mixture of female and male traits, so I suppose Zilla must be a hermaphrodite.Β
Yes, but the Hesei era is the era where Godzilla adopts Godzilla Jr, the same era where Godzilla is a dinosaur. This still supports my argument that Godzilla is female AT LEAST sometimes.Β
Sometimes the females of certain species are more aggressive and territorial then the males, mostly because they are the ones who have to take care of their children. Sometimes the females are the dominant ones of the species and even the larger ones. I'm a little baffled at the idea that you think the males of whatever species Godzilla is, super ancient lizard or dinosaur, HAS to be the more aggressive ones.
Eh... The eggs being dormant too is something I'm skeptical of, simply because eggs are very delicate and tend to die without the right temperature. Then again, maybe Godzilla eggs are super hardy.Β
"Misgender" is a funny word to use in reference to an animal, imo. Anyways, since Godzilla's sex never factors in to any movie so there is no need to make it any clear, and most Godzilla films were made in a time period where, as mentioned, "he" was a common word to use even when the gender of an individual was not known. After all, Godzilla is a powerful creature and power is constantly associated with masculinity. It is not coincidence that most Godzilla monsters are referred to as "he", except for the fuzzy moth creature and the rose monster.Β
