Talk:Zilla design (2004 film)/@comment-24214574-20140714163300/@comment-1418880-20150307032346

Why do we still hate him? An excellent question. For me, the answer is, to put it simply, because they tried to pass him off as Godzilla. The moment I first first saw him in theaters, I was outraged. They expected us to believe THAT was Godzilla? A giant, mutant, unisex iguana? I was furious. I've never gotten over that, and I've never forgiven Trip-Star for ripping us off with that pathetic knockoff of the Godzilla franchise. Now, granted, as a Kaiju, Zilla isn't that bad. He's huge, fast, and aggressive when provoked. The design itself isn't bad, but he definitely isn't Godzilla or anything close to him. If they had told us this was a different monsters, or if he had been introduced differently, I probably would have accepted Zilla. But no, they had the nerve to claim that this was everyone's favorite Kaiju, the king of the monsters. I went to that theater expecting to see Godzilla, and that wasn't him. That is why I hate Zilla.
