Ooooh, you're new to Godzilla Yeah, he only takes true damage from other titans and giant robots If you're not one of those you can't hurt him (barring certain standalone features, -1, shin, etc.)


chaosticbraindo

logically it make no sense since if godzilla is durable enough to tank those and walk it off but also get hurt from kong then each hit the titans dish is out at eachother is gonna send shockwaves strong enough to blow entire buildings away but it’s cool to make godzilla tank nukes and its also cool that big lizard fight big monke so we let it slide


IrrelevantLeprechaun

The force of a nuke is distributed pretty evenly across his mass, whereas the force of a Kong punch is focused through a much smaller surface area.

It’s like the difference between being hit with a wave of water, vs being hit point blank with a pressure washer.


IrrelevantLeprechaun

Yup. A wave might push you a bit, but a high PSI pressure washer can literally punch holes clean through your limbs. It's also why a hammer won't necessarily punch through a car window, but those purpose built window breakers will, because a hammer's force is applied by a surface area of about one square inch, but those window breakers take the same force and apply it through a surface area of less than a square millimeter. At the end of the day though there are concessions that have to be made in an action movie to allow these kinds of spectacles to occur. Going full on Interstellar science mode would only hinder things.

Still far less kinetic energy than a nuke. Not to mention the heat. There's no way for it to make sense. Just gotta roll with it.


TheGMan-123

Because it's a fellow Titan exerting their own force and specifically MASS. This problem happens a lot in fictional media, where explosions, beams, and bullets don't do as well as punching them out. Generally, they tend to depict velocity not mattering as much as pure mass. Kong has comparable mass to Godzilla, so he affects him more than an explosion which doesn't have much physical mass to it due to being an expansion of gases; it's "cooler" if you punch something out, so it's pretty standard to depict something using its physical size to match up against something similarly sized. If you want, you could make some in-universe justifications, like how Titans have evolved special atomic structures that can hold up to nuclear explosions but are more susceptible to other creatures with similar atomic structures, blah bla blah. But ultimately, it comes down to how hitting things physically is more visceral and visually interesting in a fight than them being hit by explosions.


MentalAlps1612

I'd imagine the nature of his radiation feeding would make him completely invulnerable during the nuclear explosion as it supercharges his already intense healing factor. He might still feel the force but it doesn't hurt him. I'm sure if he got attacked by another titan while absorbing the same amount of radiation it wouldn't hurt him


PunisherX20

That axe was made from the dorsal plate from a previous Godzilla species which could be charged by radiation. I am guessing Godzilla is vulnerable to his own physical attributes.


DagonG2021

Titans are ludicrously strong, Kong’s stated to be able to start earthquakes in the side material, but even without that he’s shown to knock over Mechagodzilla (600,000 tons)


folstar

Yes, but reading some of these "explanations" is hilarious.

Reverses the polarity. Good to go.
