Daigo Fukuryū Maru

Daigo Fukuryū Maru (第五福龍丸, F/V Lucky Dragon 5) was a Japanese tuna fishing boat with a crew of 23 men which was contaminated by nuclear fallout from the United States Castle Bravo thermonuclear weapon test at Bikini Atoll on March 1, 1954. The crew suffered acute radiation syndrome (ARS) for a number of weeks after the Bravo test in March. All recovered except for Kuboyama Aikichi, the boat's chief radioman, who died on September 23, 1954 from complications of radiation sickness.[1] Kuboyama is considered the first victim of the hydrogen bomb and of test shot Castle Bravo.[2]

Godzilla (1998)

This is a better version of the 1998 Godzilla movie where Godzilla is bigger (about 400 feet tall) and better, he would be more like the traditional Godzilla in terms of design, origins, and powers, he would be a force of nature, and he would be more like a symbol/metaphor/allegory of nuclear disasters. and the movie would be more like the original 1954 film in terms of tone and I imagine it to have an R-Rating
