Talk:Godzilla vs. Megalon (Comic)/@comment-25172205-20150324172134/@comment-343942-20150331040648

It's likely the someone involved didn't bother doing much (if any) research about the film, since it was to be a cheap promotional. Probably figured as long as the comic had Godzilla's name attached to it, it didn't matter if they got the other monsters' names right or not.

It's possible that's the reason so many Japanese monster flicks were retitled for their western releases (i.e. Gamera vs Jiger renamed "Gamera vs. Monster X").
