kpa - I have a question for you, since you seem to be one of the requesite Godzilla sages here. Why is it DESTOROYAH over Destroyer? Wasn't the monster's name meant to be DESTROYER as in, Oxygen Destroyer? I had also heard before (can't remember where) that the name was initially meant as Destroyer, but Toho changed it to Destoroyah, because the word "destroyer" couldn't be copyrighted by them. Is this true? I'm kind of confused on this. I know his official Toho name is Destoroyah, but every version of the movie I've watched, dubbed or subtitled, has always said and translated his name as DESTROYER. Thanks, I appreciate any help you (or anyone) else could provide.
