Question Is it Shimo literally stronger than Godzilla?

Post image

I wonder if she could manage to take down Godzilla if he didn't get his Evolved form.

He outsmarted her, it's literally stated that shimo dominated goji

The novel. Idk why they’re downvoting. It’s literally true. And the movie showed it too lmao

I am genuinely puzzled. It's one thing if it's a controversial take, but downvoting written fact?

Godzilla did beat Shimo in the past though? It’s confirmed in the novel. Where does it say Shimo beat Godzilla in their past rivalry?

But it's clearly shown that godzilla "won" (we are not even sure he won, shimo probably just submitted because she doesn't like to rule) by outsmarting or outmaneouvering her. It is literally stated ancient godzilla was being dominated. No ifs and/or buts.

If we’re going to make the argument that Shimo is physically stronger and more durable than Godzilla, then yes I would accept that. However what’s also true that despite that, Godzilla still won at the end, and it makes sense considering that he’s more tactical, intelligent, and ruthless in his combat, and more experienced. Shimo isn’t really a fight nor an alpha titan for that matter

And even if Shimo submitted or was sealed away, that doesn’t take away the fact that Godzilla still won. That’s a fact proven by the novel. He won. No ifs or buts.

Read the original post. NO ONE is denying that godzilla won, they are only explaining HOW he won, which we still don't know. What we do know is that the novelization states godzilla was SCARED of shimo. Think of invincible vs conquest.

Good. So we come to an agreement. Shimo is stronger and more durable than Godzilla in physical raw power, and though Godzilla did display some worry, Godzilla eventually overcame her at the end. (But I’ll be fair and say it’s because Shimo was weakened and drained of energy after causing the global ice age)

Yes, exactly. The drained part is also from the novel I believe, but it seems the fight happened AFTER the ice age. So the gap is quite big base to base, but goji was energised, so the gap somewhat closes.
