"Hum..Godzilla and Rodan on the same ship! Godzilla hates Rodan . This may be fun after all." said Bob with an evil look. "Yep" replied Grrr with a big T- Rex grin.

As the boys were grinning, Gretta and Stef came into the room.

a' I  know that  Rodan and Godzilla don't see eye to eye. I have always wondered why?" asked Stef

'Yes, Grrry. I would like to know too." 

Going into the living room, Grrr, popped a root beer and said.

"It is a short story ladies. As you know babe and you know also I think Stef, I know that Bob knows. We dinos tend to be territorial. I am the head of the Rex. which means that the Rex and other dinos in the Americas, Europe and parts of Asia look to me for leadership. 

But not Japanese dinos. They  are a law unto themselves. They, like all Japanese, see the emperor as divine, god on earth and answer ONLY to him or those he appoints. "

"I understood that that changed after WW ll?" said Stef and Gretta nodded in agreement.

"Nope', said Bob. "On the surface, the Mikado is now  a constitutional monarch and the PM runs Japan; but  in Japan, what you see is often not what you get.  Japan lost one war in 2500 years and unlike the Germans, despite saying that surrender was unconditional, got not only to keep the Emperor but had his name whitewashed. Japan was knocked flat after the war.So that when Japan needed some money back in the 50's, to rebuild, it was decided that films were the way to go and monster movies were very profitable in the 50's  so, the Son of Heaven, let it be known that his country needed  Godzilla The  daimyo of all Japanese monsters. So Godzilla made that flick, even took a dive ..with that oxygen destroyer stuff for the good of Nippon. 

"The problem is that it worked too well." said Grrr
