(Cue Godzilla 1954 Main Title)
Wiz: The year is 1954, and the nuclear age was stronger now than it had ever been. Tensions were high after World War II - especially in Japan, where the original H-bombs had been dropped - and everyone feared the power of the bomb. However, during the Bikini Atoll tests, one of them woke something up.
Boomstick: Well, "woke up" might be a bit of an understatement, Wiz. No, it turns out that under the waves were a bunch of aquatic dinosaurs who had survived the big freakin' meteor. But uh... seeing as they were right under the impact zone of Castle Bravo, yeah they weren't gonna be sticking around for much longer.
(Cue Battle Lines)
Wiz: Within an instant, a bright light scorched the sea, and instantly killed off nearly the entire species save for a single member. The dinosaur could only watched as all other members of its family died, leaving him alone. Alone, and in agony; the radiation from the bomb mutated the saurian to gargantuan heights, giving him unnatural features and capabilities.
Boomstick: So, once the big lizard attacked a Japanese vessel out of anger and retribution, it was only a matter of time before the mainland got wind of what exactly happened. A journey to a nearby island gave the Japanese everything they needed to know... emitting radiation and standing several stories tall, the local legend of Godzilla had risen!
Wiz: Now a little more than a story told amongst some islanders, Godzilla was a threat to behold. He is a monolithic titan, capable of tearing down large structures or leaving the streets he stumbles through uninhabitable based off of his presence alone.
Boomstick: Befitting of such a tank of destruction, good ol' 'Zilla is capable of withstanding tank shells, bombings from jets, or even thousands of watts of electricity being constantly poured into his body no problem! Or if he needs to really destroy something quick, he can exhale a smoke-like fire breath that melts all in its path.
Wiz: Well, in contrast to popular belief, Godzilla's breath attack isn't actually fire, rather its an "atomic breath". Basically, it's just super-heated radiation. As one would expect from a walking analog to the atomic bombs, Godzilla can melt telephone towers, blow right through buildings, or even turn the entirety of Tokyo into a sea of fire in an instant with the power of the atomic breath.
(Cue Ferro Ignique)
Boomstick: With all that power behind a beast, you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody able to stop him. To that I say have you ever watched an old '50s monster movie before? There's always some super-smart mad scientist guy who just so happens to have the perfect solution to fix all of humanity's worries. This case would be no different, when one eyepatch-wearing Daisuke Serizawa arrived on the scene. He had developed something called the oxygen destroyer, a device which uh... turns you into a skeleton???
Wiz: Oooh, this is very interesting. So, you see, by producing and utilizing micro-oxygen particles, Dr. Serizawa was able to engineer a device which basically deprived everything of oxygen. Not only that, but life itself, decaying your body within just a few moments-
Boomstick: Yeah yeah Wiz, we get it. Big oxygen bomb takes away oxygen and kills you. Jeez...
Wiz: Awww, you never let me have any fun!
Boomstick: Your scientific ramblings aren't fun, Wiz. They're the equivalent to the scenes in monster movies where they all talk about how to kill the monster that no one likes.
Wiz: But I like them!
Boomstick: Uh huh, of course you do. Well, come back in a view days where we'll talk about Godzilla's opponent: the Warrior of Light, Ultraman!
Wiz: ...Do you, want to go binge some Godzilla movies????????
Boomstick: Eh, sure, let's go bud!
