>have him rick shit in almost all his movies
>use one of his greatest arch nemesis ghidrah as a solution to get rid of him
>re-con mechagodzilla to be a solution to getting rid of him

Few typos, my bad.
I suppose you're right, but going as far as to revive Ghidrah to fight him? Last we saw him he was murdered by everyone in Showa.

Think I missed that.
Heisei promotional art was fucking gorgeous.
Godzilla is God.
Heisei was a sexy timeline.
Showa was GOAT. Cant beat that dropkick.
Kong Skull Island was pretty choice, go see it.

Monsters are supposed to be antagonists
The better question is why did Showa let him be nice guy
Because he was a giant fucking monster created to fuck shit up. After about fifty fucking movies, the Japs realized they had to change things up and made him the protector from the other monsters.

Is there any implication for what I want to hear

Because he got popular with the audience and there was money made with him being a good guy instead. It also led to more fantastical movies. Godzilla in that form was also far more interesting and diverse than the evil Godzilla, although I do like any incarnation of him.

After the movies, however, became simply awful and made no money anymore (as people and perhaps also children grew tired of this shit), Toho waited a few years before launching a reboot of Godzilla that made him more fierce and dangerous. It felt fresh and interesting and there were more, newer stories to tell about "the natural disaster" that was actually barely touched upon before.
The more serious Godzilla became, the more money he made. The audience changed, the movies adapted.
Millennium Godzilla barely changed in terms of personality from the previous series, as it was still popular enough to leave it be. And also because that reboot series took place two years after it was supposed to rest for at least another decade.
For 2016, Anno chose to make Godzilla look actually gruesome, a logical progression from 1954 to 1989 to 2016. I have yet to watch it, though, but I don't expect much of it. I am quite certain that, if it were Anno in his prime, the movie would be much more surreal for sure.

>Kong Skull Island
looks and sounds like a mish mash of previous King Kong movies and dumbass war tropes
