It's not the 400 foot tall nuclear monster, or the hollow earth, or the 400 foot tall gorilla, or the 3 headed dragon from space that generates hurricanes, or the 400 foot tall robot made using the soul of the 3 headed dragon from space, it's how is that motherfucker standing up in water?
Verisimilitude. A piece of fiction should be internally consistent in following the rules it establishes. The world is presented as the same as ours, with the exception of the big monsters. That means anything not directly related to the explicitly stated differences is assumed to match the real world.
Suspension of disbelief isn't a blanket free pass, it needs limits, else it's just nonsense.
So, what, like a giant monster standing in a shallower part of the ocean? The stated depth is an average, not an absolute. They coukd be on a sandbar or an atoll. Not really out of the realm of possibility.
Hold on there bucko, I am not smart. If I gave you the impression that I wanted to sound smart, I'm sorry that was not my intent. I am a dumb motherfucker and I like dumb things. Like movies about big monsters punching eachother.

He’s clearly standing on top of other Godzillas. It’s Godzillas all the way down
Oh my god. He's a scientist!
You are all thinking too hard about this. Its clearly Godzilla standing on Gamera, who is also standing on a Gamera, and its Gamera all the way down.
Or he's standing on Angurius and that explains why he wasn't in those movies.

Godzilla is a stand-in for jesus but unlike him, godzilla has some humility
Stilts. Very long stilts.

I'm aware. Just pointing out the issue with the "if monster, nothing else needs to make sense" argument that people think makes them sound smart.

Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show, I should really just relax."
No one said anything about being upset.
It can be immersion breaking.
But thank you for being a perfect example of who I was talking about.

I just want to watch big monster punch eachother
swimming perhaps, or its generating some kind of energy field, anti-gravity field.
As much as I love this goofiness, I'd like to point out the ability to tread water

Easy, Godzilla uses an electric submarine surf that works with lazer...
