Do you think it's wrong to set the PCs up against an invincible

It can be done right, but only if you don't enclose them and cut off any escape routes.

THEN it's railroading.

Expect them to find a way to kill it. They probably won't, but always be wary.

It's fine, but as others have noted, player mentality usually doesn't consider a fight unwinnable unless proven beyond the shadow of doubt. Unless you are extremely clear about the imbalance of the fight, they'll probably try to tackle it anyway.

Best way to handle an unstoppable foe is to introduce alternate stakes, like the protection of an important location or item. Alternately, even an invincible monster can be driven off. Long story short, giving the players a (clear, apparent) route to move forward is essential, especially if that doesn't include actually slaying the enemy.

Have a plan B in advance just in case the PCs win.

Might be good to hint pretty heavily in advance as well that this may not quite be a fight to the death for them.

Well I guess I have to see the new Godzilla now.

As for the subject I'd say you'd have to tread very carefully, give them escape routes, don't make him 100% invincible just make him very strong.

Yeah, if you're going to have a monster they're supposed to not be able to beat you should have an alternate condition on hand to make sure they don't think "Kill the monster" is the objective.

Sounds stupid in concept
Looks rad a shit though. Everything about shin godzilla looks rad as shit and i'm sad that I didn't catch it in theatres.

You can definitely set sup strong monsters way too big for the players to handle. Old school D&D actually encouraged you to avoid dangerous encounters. Just make sure the players have a way to escape or hide, otherwise they will bitch and moan.

To be honest, at least one person is going to bitch and moan because most players think every fight is scaled for them to be able to win. So expect one or two players to drop before the rest get the hint that they should run away.

This actually happened to me, and now my party is still wandering around the material plane, and I have to find another way to get them into the other world.
