The film itself is recognized as 'Godzilla', as is the animated series. 'Zilla Jr.' is a fan-created name to emulate 'Godzilla Junior'. Ever since 2004, Toho's official stance has been that any future incarnations of the character be referred to hereafter as 'Zilla.'" - The Words of Matt Frank on his "Godzilla: Rulers of Earth Issue 2" cover on deviantART. This was a reply to the flame war with TurokSwe on there. And as you know, since Matt Works for IDW with the Godzilla series, he should know a thing or two about what Toho says and doesn't say about their characters. So, does that mean that the name change is more than official?
