Q1: "Godzilla can shoot lasers out his mouth?"
A1: It's not really a laser but it is plasma based, at least in latter films. In the first movie Godzilla was symbolism for the horrors of atomic weapons. The film makers wanted to a visual cue to represent radiation poisoning, so they gave him a vapor or steam like breath in the first few films where it's super hot. It melts metal and causes explosions. Later they changed it to be more "firey/laser/plasma" to reperesent the explosion and fire wall from a nuclear bomb going off. We still call it nuclear fire as a slang.
He also can regenerate.
And has a nuclear pulse.
Q2: "What the hell is Zilla?"
A2: I let this video talk. Trust me, this is the shortest one of the bunch, the others are 20 minute long rants. Imagine the worst video game movie you ever saw. Now times that by 11.
Excuse my lazy response on this question but I've answered this question a million times. I'm sick of it.
Needless t0 say, we hope 2014 doesn't fuck it up.
Q3: " That actor.I've seen him before..."
A3: The guy who made Godzilla: Final Wars also made Virus, and several kung fu movies. You might have seen him in one of those.
Q4: "Godzilla has a fandom?"
After nearly 60 years and 28 films and a reboot film coming out next May I'd say yes.
He's fought King Kong, aliens, mutants, monsters, gods, clones and has had several continuities and incarnations with different powers and personality much like comic book characters.
For more information I suggest looking into James Rolf AKA The Angry Video Game Nerds Godzillathon videos.
Sorry for the late response I've had things to do.
