So this film is a sequel to the original, so we can ignore all the other films beforehand.But in the original, Godzilla was fully disenegrated when he dies. He was bare bones. How can he return fully intact?
shareAs a wise creature once said "There is another."
shareThat is where this film totally messed up, having Raymond Burr's character say that they never found any corpse when it is plain that there was skeletal remains anyone would have found. In my opinion, the makers of this film should go back and take out that line. Even the description of this movie says it is a new Godzilla.
shareGo back and look in the original movie-- Godzilla's bones disintegrate as well.
shareYou're right. The bones did disintegrate. But they still messed up by making this Godzilla look so different and not giving an explanation of why it looks so different. Wouldn't reporter Steve Martin have been told by Ogata that Godzilla was totally destroyed, including the skeleton?

They don't play that game and have never played that game. Godzilla has looked wildly different from movie to movie and there's no in-universe reason for it nor should you think there is. In "The Making of GODZILLA" ['84], they show how Godzilla was designed to be sort of a cross between the 1954 and 1964 Godzilla designs. But Godzilla looking different is not something you're supposed to be hung up on.
"Wouldn't reporter Steve Martin have been told by Ogata that Godzilla was totally destroyed, including the skeleton?"
Considering Ogata was on board the ship with Steve Martin when Godzilla died, he wouldn't know that either.
Until Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster Godzilla had basically the same appearance in the movies. Minor changes are fine, but not major ones if he is supposed to be the same Godzilla from King of the Monsters. Ogata had been told by Emiko and I'm sure Dr. Sarizawa would have told him that the Oxygen Destroyer would totally destroy Godzilla and I'm sure Ogata would have told Steve Martin.
shareDifferent Godzilla.
