There's the territorial angle as well. "Stay away from my turf!"



With the sequel now greenlit, all sorts of possibilities have opened out. We might even see Jet Jaguar!
Oh... at the beginning, that was Godzilla bones, and the 1st Muto was a parasite that fed off a Godzilla? I didn't really get that the Muto was a parasite from that. I'm not saying it wasn't, it just went over my head. Well that makes more sense, but I think the movie should have made that more clear for the remedial audience members.

And please, no Jet Jaguar!

Whilst realism certainly isn't an issue in the Godzilla world so I don't consider this a real flaw of the film so much slight oversight, I guess I did wonder about the predator idea - mostly that it's suggested Godzilla, the MUTOs and the creatures from that time feed on radiation emittedfrom Earth - for Godzilla it comes from deep in the Ocean etc. In this situation...why would anything need to develop a predator prey relationship?
Good question. I thought about that too. If they feed on radiation released in the ocean depth, why come up at all. If that was the key situation, why not say climate change has stifled radiation in the depths so they are looking for new sources, or something like that.

I think the territorial dispute would be more reasonable one or for their limited amount of 'food' source availability. But I'd like to mention, besides all of these flaws, one thing they did clever was making one of the MUTO monsters 'fly', cause without that flying MUTO, I've doubt on how much exciting the war between Godzilla & MUTO couple would look like. When Godzilla arrived at San Francisco and at the same time as the flying MUTO showed up, the jets were dropping around & thus the pilots were Parachuting to save their lives...I loved those scenes! Great build up...that eventually ended up just at the peak of the moments..MUTO attacked Godzilla & the screen goes black as some door/gate was shut right in front of our view/the camera!
Yes, that's true. If godzilla and Mutos are in competition for radiation sources, then after Godzilla was done killing the Muto, godzilla should have started attacking and feeding on nuclear power plants in the area. That's what I was expecting Godzilla to do. He's dead. No, he's alive. Ah, now he's going for some nuclear power plants...
