The Cloverfield monster being the U.S. state monster

Question

What do you think of the Cloverfield monster being the U.S. state monster as Godzilla is for Japan?

Answer 1

yeah, thats exactly what it is.... JJ Abrams (the director) said this himself. He walked into a store in Japan and saw godzilla toys and thought that America needs its own monster too, thats how the movie came about.

Answer 2

That would be awesome!

Though it would technically be the US 'national' monster.

Answer 3

      I think it would be perfect, BUT the Japanese had the atomic bomb and Hiroshima to base Godzilla on, and made him a reflection of this. That was and why he still is so popular, never mind the undertones of revenge.

       The cloverfield monster I assume is based on our anxiety and fear of terrorism, and in that sense Cloverfield can be the U.S. monster, but even though I love monster movies I dont know if it approached that level as had Godzilla, even though I wish it did (maybe it will), not to mention the cloverfield monster is an awesome design!
