Godzilla (2014) was pretty good, except for Muto having that electromagnetic pulse weapon. Why would a biological evolutionarily develop such a thing? It's useless against Godzilla.
Only useful against technology really, and that seems so unrealistic. That’s where it lost me, the convenience of a creature that can EM machines. So unbelievable.
For Godzilla’s return, the King of the Monsters was given a radically new origin story that deviates from the previously established origin of him being mutated by the hydrogen bomb: in Godzilla, Godzilla is explained by Monarch to be an ancient, radiovorous apex predator that has existed for millions of years, existing at least as early as the Pliocene period.
The EMP greatly impacted Godzilla’s atomic breath. It’s why it was so much weaker in the first movie compared to the sequels. Probably a retcon, but I think it fits.
