Let me know please because Ive been gone for 2 weeks because I was moving. No no, we here in Wikizilla go by facts; verifiable facts. We do not need any websites for clarifications (except maybe Toho Kingdom-- but just for information. They're awesome), all we need is the facts present in the movies and all the other media, like DVDs or comics.

According to the VCR release of "GODZILLA", Zilla was copyrighted as "GODZILLA". But in Godzilla: Final Wars, it was copyrighted as Zilla. No other media ever since has had Zilla officially copyrighted as GODZILLA. There's a late april fools joke going around saying that in the 2006 re-release of GODZILLA, Zilla was still copyrighted as GODZILLA, but this is entirely false, because the picture trying to pass of 1998 Zilla as Godzilla is from the VCR release of the movie, and the 2006 re-release, as well as ALL DVDs released subsequently, do not copyright Zilla at all; all it says is:

"GODZILLA (R) is a registered trademark of Toho" etc. But this is very obviously because the film itself is called GODZILLA, and the monster in the movie is called that as well.

So, yeah. The "Zilla Name Change Misconception" becomes more of a misconception itself with each passing day.
