Which makes one wonder why I'm posting this during Halloween season? Well it is a Monster movie, and while I've thought of this before it's now I felt compelled to blog on it.
First is the purely Superficial fact that it has a gigantic multicolored egg as a major plot point.
And the story has a Death and Rebirth theme to it. One Mothra dies to live again through her offspring.
You're maybe thinking, doesn't all that apply to the original Mothra movie too? Mostly they do, though the Death part is less literal.
But the key thing coming at it from a Christian perspective is that Godzilla as a villain of the movie could be seen a playing the role of The Serpent, and his Seed, thus a Genesis 3:15 tie in.
Mothra is very much the Messianic Archetype of the Toho Universe.
