Godzilla’s first animated theatrical release in Polygon Pictures’ trilogy (released internationally on Netflix) re-imagines the kaiju as an almost plant-like personification of natural life on a future Earth that has been abandoned by humanity for centuries. When human colonists return to their ancestral home, they find a Godzilla that is in many ways kind of similar to the Legendary Godzilla—albeit with slimmer legs, as well as a much more severe musculature and a strange, fibrous texture that makes him look like a living tree.
