Talk:Minilla/@comment-26173697-20150913215048/@comment-15456067-20170409024120

It's most probable that when Destroy All Monsters was being produced, the idea was the Minilla grew into the new Showa Godzilla, especially given that in Son of Godzilla, it was explicitly stated that he was growing fast. Fans just hate the idea because when they think Minilla, they think of the talking one in All Monsters Attack as that movie was more commonly distributed in the USA than Son of Godzilla for copyright reasons, and All Monsters Attack didn't do a good job with the depictions of Godzilla and Minilla at all, and is probably the primary reason for the unpopularity of the character to the point in which fans can't accept the possibility that he may have been intended to gruw up into Godzilla at some point. Thanks to movies after Destroy All Monsters, it's very likely that the Godzilla in that movie is the same as the Showa Godzilla, which would result in a really growth-stunted Minilla.
