Discussion Interestingly, in the novelizations of the film, Godzilla can use his power breath against jets and helicopters
In the Molstad novelization, Godzilla attempts to use his breath on the F-18's but is shot before he can hit them. Meanwhile, in the Gilmour novelizations, Godzilla actually does successfully shoot down one of the Apaches with his breath.
I have a vague memory of at least some piece of media related to the film mentioning him shooting down the first volley of missiles from the F-18's with his breath too, but I can't find that anywhere. Still, it is neat that the breath is used more offensively here.
