I feel very much the same. Zilla uses speed and agility as opposed to brawn (not something that can be simulated well with costumes), and the fact it isn't invulnerable like the vast majority of daikaiju means it has to react creatively to overcome obstacles such as the military. So, in that respect, Zilla is rather unique among kaiju, and has great potential as a character in his own right, something proven by the more warmly received animated series.

Under any other circumstances, Zilla probably would've become a classic monster character. His greatest failing was being called Godzilla, a name he never had a chance of living up to.
