Oh I agree with you, I was simply proving a point that giant monsters should have "no remorse for anyone or anything" as you put it.

He fights Barugon mainly because he is attracted to all the carnage he is causing.

Gamera vs Gyaos cements Gamera's role as "friend to children everywhere," but like Goji he started out as a heavy.

I'm well aware of that. But the hero portrayal is both the one that's popular and the one that's stuck.
