Throwing a few art candidates in here because I'm not the biggest fan of what's on the 1.0 card and I love Stokoe's Godzilla, but I'll leave it up to Ark or whoever does art.

Spoiler Alert!

Stuck with Kaiju because it seemed like there wasn't much of a groundswell in favor of switching. Don't think there was a ton else to sort out here.

The only thing I can think of is in regards to this...

WAKE OF DESTRUCTION
While moving Godzilla, you may destroy any adjacent objects that are unoccupied. Godzilla may move through, and does not take swipes from, figures that are not huge. After moving Godzilla, roll 1 unblockable attack die against each figure Godzilla moved through.

Felt odd at the CON when he could destroy the Mountain just as easily as the Rocks. so is any chance of something like this maybe...

WAKE OF DESTRUCTION
While moving Godzilla, you may inflict 5 wounds on any adjacent objects that are unoccupied. Godzilla may move through, and does not take swipes from, figures that are not huge. After moving Godzilla, roll 1 unblockable attack die against each figure Godzilla moved through.

That lets it destroy most Objects just not the really big ones?

No Destroyer Event Hero synergy with the Black Order right?

I think technically that doesn't solve the problem because there's no limit on how many times he can inflict 5 wounds. (Though we could change that too if we were worried I suppose)

Don't think I've seen the mountain IRL but pictures of it don't look big enough that I'm bothered by Godzilla taking them down.

Nah, they specify Unique. At least in 1.0 anyway, but no particular reason to think that's changing.

[japes]

It's the 6 space Ice rock. And it has this...

AVALANCHE
When this Ice Mountain is destroyed, roll 4 unblockable attack dice once for all adjacent figures.

and I did think about getting several figures adjacent to it and let Godzilla destroy it one time at Con, but decided I'd feel guilty so I didn't do it. But I did remember it.

[Yodaking]

Wouldn't that also deal the 4 unblockables to Godzilla though? I guess with 20 life you can afford it.

[IAmBatman]

Very small wording things. Not absolutely necessary, but I'd consider going with this tweak in the first ability to match Black Canary (who benefitted more from it):

"All figures on the line and in clear sight of Godzilla are affected by this special attack."

Not one I'll fight for if you're not digging it, though.

Also, and it's definitely rougher in this context, I believe he should be "defeating" adjacent objects rather than destroying them.

Exactly the risk I was willing to take. 😀

Honestly, that just sounds fun to me.

[Ronin]

Ah right, "defeating". Much easier on characters, a little awkward for objects.

I did think about the line thing on Dinah but it wasn't as helpful here so didn't roll with it - doesn't hurt either though, may as well go with it.
