Godzilla is one of the most popular film franchises in history and has stood the test of time since its inception in the 1950s, meaning it’s more than likely that Godzilla will not come to a definitive end any time soon. However, there is one particular comic book story that truly concludes Godzilla’s story, and it is as perfect as it is dark.
IN Godzilla: Oblivion #1-5 by Joshua Fialkov and Brian Churilla, scientists from an Earth without kaiju (World A) open a multiverse portal to a version of Earth infested with giant monsters (World B). The scientists of World A simply wanted to know if interdimensional travel was even possible. They had no idea what kind of hell they would fall into as soon as they crossed the threshold of their work portal. And to make matters worse, when the scientists from World A try to return to their original world, the kaiju from World B follow them.
World A is overrun by kaiju who have destroyed World B, and although Godzilla does his best to keep these monsters under control (as does his charge as the King of the Monsters), there is little he can do. The kaiju destroy World A just as they did World B, leaving the human population of World A with only one option: evacuate the planet. Scientists create enough portals for people around the world to transport them to World B, leaving all the kaiju in World A with no humans to terrorize.
Godzilla and other kaiju destroy two worlds before their story finally ends
Godzilla is stranded on a desolate Earth, ending his story forever
Humanity is forced to leave their planet and move to a world that has already been destroyed by Godzilla and the kaiju, which in itself is a rather dark ending. However, this story becomes even darker when you consider that these kaiju destroyed two Earths before they were “defeated”, and even their defeat was not a true victory for humanity, as they had to sacrifice an entire planet in order to survive with their powers. life. This means that every alternate Godzilla continuity is destined to suffer the same fate as World B, and there is likely no dimensional portal technology in World A that can save them.
Not only is it grim for kaiju to destroy two worlds, but the story is also depressing for Godzilla himself. The King of the Monsters is stuck on a planet filled with kaiju who fear and hate him, all because he was the protector of humanity in World B. Godzilla was simply trying to keep the monsters under control by fighting them before they destroyed the world. the whole world and he failed. Godzilla’s story ends in failure and tragedy: he is stranded on a planet where he will surely die a violent death at the hands of the monsters that once knelt at his feet.
Godzilla: Oblivion is the only perfect end for humanity
This story may be sad for Godzilla, but it’s the only way to get a happy ending for humans.
Despite some dark aspects Godzilla: Oblivionlike Godzilla’s ending and the fact that the two worlds were destroyed by the kaiju, there is a silver lining. Since all the kaiju from world B have gone to world A, and all the people from world A have gone to world B, humanity actually has a chance to recover without fear of another kaiju attack. Every kaiju left World B and moved to World A, so even though they had already caused damage to World B, that Earth could still prosper, especially with the population instantly restored by moving people from World A.

Humanity gets a second chance Godzilla: Oblivionalthough the price is high, especially for Godzilla himself. All he wanted to do was maintain balance on his planet, but instead Godzilla finds himself in another world where humanity turns against him. It’s the perfect ending because it proves how unstoppable the kaiju are, but it’s also incredibly dark because it’s not an ending. Godzilla deserves it.
