Can Aquaman Talk to Godzilla and Other Monsters?

In the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the character of Aquaman has been portrayed as a powerful being with unique abilities. One interesting question often arises: can Aquaman communicate with other creatures, particularly the massive, powerful beings known as kaiju? Let's explore this fascinating topic in more detail.

Communication in the DCEU

So far in the DCEU, Aquaman has been shown to communicate primarily with sea creatures. This means that monsters such as King Kong and Mothra, who are not sea creatures, would not be able to communicate with him. However, a notable exception is the possibility of Aquaman talking to Godzilla, as he is a sea creature. Through his underwater abilities, there is a possibility that he could communicate with Godzilla and, by extension, other sea creatures and kaiju.

Godzilla and Communication

While the possibility of Aquaman communicating with Godzilla exists, the actual success of such communication is another matter. Godzilla, being a fearsome kaiju, operates primarily on instinct and experience, making him resistant to external influence. In the context of the DCEU, Aquaman is considered the “king of the seas” in his own world, but this title doesn't necessarily carry over to the realm of Godzilla.

In the movies, Godzilla has shown tendencies to dominate humans and other creatures without adhering to commands. This suggests that taking orders from another entity is not in line with Godzilla's nature. Furthermore, attempts to mentally control or communicate with Godzilla have not been successful. Even in rare instances where such attempts were made, Godzilla responded with aggressive behavior. For example, in Godzilla vs. Biollante, a psychic character tried to communicate with him but was immediately struck down.

These experiences indicate that Godzilla's mind is not compatible with psychic or telepathic interactions, similar to the consequences faced when attempting to interact with extraterrestrial entities in franchises like Warhammer 40k (Tyranids) or Mobile Suit Gundam (ELS). The attempts result in immediate damaging consequences for the individual attempting it.

Some argue that Aquaman may have a better chance of communicating with Godzilla, especially given his more powerful telepathic abilities in recent storylines. However, these characters are from different universes (DC and Godzilla franchises), and the barriers they face might be insurmountable.

Conclusion

While there is a theoretical possibility that Aquaman could communicate with Godzilla through his oceanic powers, the practical reality is that Godzilla's nature and the scientific boundaries of communication make such interactions extremely unlikely in the current narrative landscape.
