I always tell that to the die-hards. I mention that the Japanese wouldn't have even allowed the name to be granted much less included in their series if they didn't respect our Godzilla. But it always falls on deaf ears, go figure.
Rumors abound say if Emmerich had not done The Patriot, Godzilla would've been fighting an Americanized Mothra. That movie I would never have seen. Not because of the fact that it sounds terrible, it doesn't, it's that little phobia of the class Lepidoptera that would've kept me away from that one. Same reason why I don't watch the original Mothra, and I have no idea why Ben Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms.
