He's just one big buoyant boy.
102He looks badass from the top, but under the water his lil legs are paddling at full speed.
72That's a paddlin'!

My head canon for sea-based Kaiju is they have a sack of muscles somewhere inside their body that can expand a cavity, kind of like the diaphragm expands the lungs, except instead of taking in air or water it just creates a volume of vacuum inside of them. This makes them extremely bouyant relative to the surrounding sea pressure, so they rapidly ascend and can casually float like a boat near the surface.
But if they ever want to dive again, they just let that cavity collapse and all their bouyancy goes away.
25My head canon for sea-based Kaiju is they have a sack
That's all the explanation I need
17I dunno. Seems a little unrealistic!
8💯 This is the true answer
3To get unnecessarily scientific here, that wouldn't change the overall density of the body, no? Even if there's now a cavity with vacuum, the matter that was occupying that space just moved somewhere else within the volumes of the body and the overall density remained the same.
Now, if it pushed some matter out, air or water, and created a vacuum cavity, that might work. But I'm not an engineer, so correct me if I'm wrong.-2
It's spelled 'buoy'

It's way cuter if he's kicking his stubby ol legs

I like to think he’s treading water, Godzilla is an expert in synchronized swimming.
10Yeah all the above is head canon for me now.
5Squid locomotion.

He came from the deep ocean, and nobody thinks he's just the absolute master at treading water?? SMDH
57I mean he clearly just walks out of the water in the movies, he’s not suddenly coming up, like you clearly see him slowly get higher and higher out of the water as he gets closer to shore. Also the ocean isn’t that deep close to shore.

Everyone always thinks the ocean is super deep from the beach outward. This is not the case. Just because a boat will float seemingly close to shore doesnt mean the hull is way down in the water
41An aircraft carrier only has a draft of some 12 meters. Godzilla is over 100m. Much of the North Sea is only like 40m deep, with shallows much less than that.
33That's how I usually interpret it except in Godzilla Minus One :
Tap for spoiler
A whole plot point is that he is in 1500m of water
17
OMG is this what whales do too? What about other fishes?? What have they been lying to us??
32And boats and icebergs. Even me. I can't swim, I just extend my legs. and fake it.

He's firing from both ends.
23or maybe its godzillas stacked all the way down.
16Godzilla is Kaiju Jesus
9He got on water wings(4 Pontoon boats).. or he's got a lot of gas from eating those spicy Asian femboys and is naturally buoyant
9The new Godzilla Minus 1 movie actually goes over this, >!they even use it against Godzilla to try and defeat him.!<
8He's obviously built himself thousands of little elevators over millenia. What did you guys think he was doing down there? Sleeping?
7In his house at R'lyeh
2
clearly he swims when he's not in the shallows
5I mean, most people doesn't even question how a dude walked on water, either.
5He was the son of Godzilla, after all.

Yes.
4Everyone is in here talking about Godzilla legs.
No one is talking about the Godzilla pizza slice.
2Finally a pertinent question. Thanks
