With that communist lunatic Kim Jong II preparing to test a long-range ballistic missile that could hit the US, and the possibility of said missile, if launched in an attack, could be nuclear capable; I'd say Godzilla remains as relevant today as he was 50 years ago.

True dat. Successive generations find it harder and harder to relate to such horrors (sadly). Same with the holocaust... That's when history repeats itself: when people forget. I'd hate for a country to have to get nuked for a Godzilla film to really hit home like the 1st one did.

History really is cyclical and as such Goji will always be relevant in some way.
Entertainment wise(which is primarily what he is guys, not some anti-war statement) people/kids will always like dinos/destruction scenes, they just have to be in a well made movie. History wise it is interesting that we have environmental issues again in the headlines and entertainment. I remember being 4 or 5 and seeing Smog Monster(one of my faves) and that movie was SO leaden with anti pollution messages. Ironic cuz that was 30 years ago and here we have an Al Gore moviewith the same message. Although I hear he was portrayed by a man in a suit as well, just less animated!.
Also as someone pointed out we have a few nutballs trying to get nuclear weapons(not to mention the possibility of a terrorist generated bomb) to the point of launching missles. And each of those scenarios present a big danger to us all here. So the threat of nuclear holocaust might even be MORE relevant currently than it was in its heyday(50's) which helped birth Goji.
So on all fronts to me Goji is relevant. However I think his makers are everybit as clueless as their Hollywood counterparts. So someday mayber we will see that ultimate Goji film, but not for awhile.
