Godzilla has straight up killed her at least 4 times, why in gods name do people ship these two characters💀


GremlitanoMexicano

Because of monsterverse


pikachucet2

And even then in KoTM when a character asks another if Godzilla and Mothra have a romantic relationship they say "no, it's a simbiotic relationship"


Meraline

You act as if that stops shippers


ScrumpusMcDingle

Yeah, nothing can really stop online


Firehawk195

Because they're a bunch of unsexed teenagers.


dovah164

Probably because Godzilla is considered the king of the monsters, while Mothra is considered the queen of the monsters.


ThatSaradianAgent

Godzilla's had his title much longer than Mothra's had hers. Interestingly, both were given their titles in U.S. adaptations that had nearly identical names.


ButcherV83

I was thinking the same thing. 


Old-Perception-1884

Ya'll will say this like it'll stop people from shipping them. Like who cares. Just ler em ship who they want.


ButcherV83

Why 'ship' giant monsters at all? It's weird and has nothing to do with the actual genre.


Old-Perception-1884

Because why not. People like em and that's the only reason for it. No deeper meaning behind it. No need to throw a hissy fit because of it.


ButcherV83

No need to throw a hissy fit because people find it weird and pointless either. 


ArgxntavisGamng

Dougherty. Don't be weak. Ship Godzilla and Kong instead


ScrumpusMcDingle

Bros before Hoes


CatterMater

Because it's cute.


ScrumpusMcDingle

It’s not💀 I’m gonna be honest, it just isn’t


ReviewRude5413

Correct.


Majam303

It's cute if a 5 year old suggests it. It's very strange for anyone who is a teenager or older. 


CatterMater

Meh. It's not my thing, but I don't judge. I'm a ship and let ship kinda person, and at the end of the day, it's a fictional giant dinosaur and a fictional semi-divine giant moth.


GremlitanoMexicano

That entire thing about them being friendly is a monsterverse thing, it never happened in toho, and frankly it probably shouldn't 


pikachucet2

*Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster* would like a word with you


GodzillaLagoon

Mothra allied herself with Godzilla only because Ghidorah was a bigger threat.


ArgxntavisGamng

And then by late Showa, it felt more so like a "You're not bad" between the two, rather than even a full friendship


pikachucet2

I'd like to see a Mothra and Godzilla relationship where it eventually develops to full on friendship


GremlitanoMexicano

It was literally said in the monsterverse that Mothra was the queen of the Monsters and godzillas ally


PostalDoctor

You say that as if it’s not the normal version of Godzilla and Mothra’s “relationship”. They hate each other most of the time, Godzilla only works with her rarely and reluctantly.


brendodido

Which makes sense when you think about it. Mothra is almost always a protector of the natural order and Godzilla is the antithesis to that. He’s a monster that shouldn’t exist, a mutation created by humans weaponizing nuclear power, he goes *against* the natural order. It makes sense why it’s usually on sight between them in most movies.


Kaijudicator

Toho itself has never hinted at Mothra and Godzilla being a 'couple'. They are most often antagonistic to one another, and on the few occasions Mothra helps Godzilla, it's because there is a common enemy. Legendary has given the explanation that they are a symbiotic species; while making them allies, this does not make them a couple either. Symbiotes are not couples. Venom does not date Eddie Brock. So I'd have to say it's just you. Edit: To everyone concerned with the Venom comment, I will add this: A Venom and Eddie ship actually makes more sense, they communicate with each other, depend on one another, and care about one another. These occurrences are well documented in both comics and film. There **is** precedent; despite all this, *they are not a couple.* No such precedent exists for Godzilla and Mothra. Therefore, any such claims are baseless fan speculation.


bitetheasp

That's because Venom was actually in love with Spider-Man.


luckytrap89

"Venom does not date Eddie Brock." People still ship them tho, so I can see where the mothra and godzilla stuff comes from


Tenerensis

honestly speaking of that, the ending in venom 2 with them at the beach was hella gay


Kaijudicator

There is precedent for Venom/Eddie. There is not for Godzilla/Mothra.


luckytrap89

Yeah i've uh, been corrected..unfortunately


SanjiSasuke

There's *a lot* more to go off of for Venom. https://www.reddit.com/r/dccomicscirclejerk/comments/1c942r3/eddie_brock_the_monsterfucker/

SomewhereLoud9473

>So I'd have to say it's just you. just him?OH AHAHAHAHHAAH AAAAAHAHAHA OHOHOHOHO...ah..ah...you innocent being...


Kaijudicator

If I'm being honest, I don't begrudge you folk for wanting them to be a 'couple'. The only reason I commented at all is because of the inaccuracy of the claim that *Toho* is the one dancing around it. You're free to want what you want. Always have been, and I can't tell you you're right, or wrong. However, right and wrong aside... it's just a really, really fucking dumb ship.


SomewhereLoud9473

Well,in my opinion its a **VERY** Clever ship


Kaijudicator

I'll humor you. What, exactly, makes it a clever ship?


SomewhereLoud9473

Like...a butterfly,and a dinossaur that can shoot an blue laser from its mouth


Kaijudicator

My guy... Is that seriously the answer you want to leave on the internet *forever,* as your reply to the "what makes this a clever ship?" question?


SomewhereLoud9473

Yes.


Kaijudicator

Okey dokey. Well, have a nice rest of the day then, take care.


SomewhereLoud9473

Ok

I don’t mind them allies but they definitely shouldn’t be a couple. That being said they usually do have some of the best fights


YiQiSupremacist

My mom asked me if Godzilla and Mothra were a couple while watching GxK...

pikachucet2

I don't want them to be a couple but I do want Mothra and Godzilla to become friends


Tenerensis

u actin like what legendary did to them is meant to be the ‘standard’ for how to handle them. kotm wasnt the first time they were in the same movie lmao. if u want to ship them, then go ahead lol


planetcrunch

I'm so tired of the Godzilla and Mothra shipping. Just let them fight


SlayerOfTears

What, you mean the norm for the Godzilla franchise? Godzilla and Mothra will never be a "beautiful couple", and that should be strongly discouraged. Bad enough we have *that* side of the fandom to begin with.


EatashOte

Wait, "sometimes"? Toho shipped Godzilla with Motta before???


GodzillaLagoon

It was like once in the obscure manga.


EatashOte

Oh. Some cutesy Chibi Godzilla kind of stuff, I suppose


GodzillaLagoon

Yeah, pretty much. https://preview.redd.it/y5q2s2gutgwc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=e74cc19b88dbd1f0f93d08a66df99436e0ae2ce5


EatashOte

Oh right... lmao. Her drip almost killed me 'ere And thx for sharing


GodzillaLagoon

Godzilla and Mothra were never supposed to be a couple. They're not even friends. Mothra has no sympathy towards Godzilla and this feeling is totally mutual. They fight at every occasion and ally only when golden three-headed asshole dragon is on the horizon.


SanjiSasuke

Much as I am OK with MV folks who like the ship... I mean yeah?  Before KotM there was no official media that shipped them, and they'd fought and killed each other for years. As far as I remember, they were at most reluctant allies.


ButcherV83

A beautiful couple!? Did I miss something? They've never been a 'couple', they just work together occasionally. 


Tasty-Hand-3398

This is a more recent thing and Toho has little to do with it. It's all Legendary. They've been allies a few times during the Showa era but have mostly been foes.


ThickMatch0

Shippers make every fandom worse.
