10 Cities You Want To See Godzilla Destroy

This Friday, Hollywood’s most infamous monster is back on the big screen and better, smarter and meaner than ever before. He’s ready to sharpen his teeth on skyscrapers and anything else standing in his way. Just what cities might he flatten?

New York

Godzilla decimating NYC might not be such a bad thing, considering many people think it’s overcrowded, prohibitively expensive and downright dirty. Maybe he’d even scare the rats away.

London

Leave it to Godzilla to turn Tower Bridge into a jump rope and dwarf the mighty Thames into a puddle. Fortunately, he’s a fan of the Royal Family and is only passing through on his way to Paris.

Atlanta

It’s nicknamed “Hotlanta” for a reason and, in case you haven’t heard, Godzilla doesn’t do well in humid conditions. He might, however, leave the Coca Cola Company alone.

Tokyo

In the original film from 1954, Godzilla unleashed his fury on the streets and cityscape of Tokyo. He’s probably not too happy that it’s been rebuilt better than ever before. Tokyoites, don’t say you weren’t warned.

Los Angeles

Dusty, overhyped and just so spread out, the City of Angels might be better if it’s rearranged by Godzilla, some people would say. Unfortunately, it might take some time to replace the palm trees that Godzilla would snap liked twigs.

Minneapolis

Whether too hot or too cold, Godzilla doesn’t do well in extreme temperatures, making Minneapolis his next victim. If you do catch sight of him parading down Nicollet with a giant spoon and bright red cherry, please contact the Walker Art Center.

New Delhi

As the world’s most polluted city, it wouldn’t hurt to give New Delhi a good clean-up, but by all means, let’s hope Godzilla leaves the Garden of the 5 Senses and the Lotus Temple untouched. And what about the Red Fort, India Gate and Qutub Mina? Godzilla, please be gentle.

Paris

Hopefully, Godzilla would leave the Marais District and art galleries intact, but as for the Eiffel Tower? Chances are Parisians wouldn’t mind seeing this overhyped tourist trap snapped straight in two.

Las Vegas

Would anyone really miss Vegas? After all, does anything that happens in Vegas actually stay a secret? Let Godzilla do you a favor and destroy any evidence on your behalf.

Toronto

If there’s one thing Godzilla doesn’t like, its captivity, making Toronto (and its massive zoo) a likely contender for demolition. So, if you see tigers, elephants and other creatures roaming the streets, don’t be surprised.
