Godzilla, originally known as Gojira, was interpreted differently due to cultural contexts and the evolution of the character over time. Gojira, created in post-war Japan, symbolized the fears and trauma associated with nuclear destruction and the consequences of war. As the franchise expanded into Hollywood, Godzilla was reimagined more as a monster hero or anti-hero, often embodying themes of environmentalism or resilience rather than solely representing existential dread. This shift reflects changing audience perceptions and the influence of global pop culture.
