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.

Plus Kick-Ass saving the world.

Electric eel? It stuns prey. If scaled up it would as a side effect cause an em pulse that would affect electronics.

Muto's EM pulse had no effect on biologics. Humans and Godzilla were unaffected. It was not related to an eel's stun, obviously.

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.

Why would Godzilla feed on radiation? The convenience of him being healed by nuclear bombs is so unbelievable.

the movies never claimed that part was natural, godzilla was changed by atomic bomb tests

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.

With recent Legendary Godzilla movies, first one seems not so bad.

I recently watched Godzilla Minus One, honestly I liked it more than all the newer Godzilla movies with other titans
