Untitled[edit]

Perhaps a full article could be written on the Oxygen Destroyer, but this isn't it. Would it make more sense to anyone else to incorporate this into a piecewise article on fictional weapons featured in the Godzilla movies (e.g. maser cannons, Thunder Control, the Dimension Tide, absolute zero cannons), as has been done with alien races and fictional locations? (Yeah, i know, the second is my doing, but it did relieve several redlinks.)—Crazilla 20:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense[edit]

Like I've pointed out before, it's impossible to destroy matter! This weapon is obviously very nonscientific, and there's no way for it to work. It would have to seperate the oxygen and hydrogen atoms and then break the oxygens into protons, neutrons and electrons. Is that how it works? Scorpionman 03:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a frickin' science fiction movie weapon, and a Godzilla one no less! The series has all sorts of crazy impossible weapons, look at the Dimension Tide(artificial black hole gun) in Godzilla vs Megaguirus or the Absolute Zero Cannon in the Kiryu films. Get over it! --FigmentJedi 20:57, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the first movie was made mainly for anti-war purposes, therefore the weapon should have been more realistic. Once the Godzilla franchise went pop-culture, then they started using stupid, nonrealistic and impossible weapons for entertainment. Scorpionman 01:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I can't to wait to see YOUR film, since your so very knowledeable about this stuff. Have you also lodged a complaint about Star Wars, stating that ships fighting in the vacuum of space shouldn't be making noise? The Kinslayer 15:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Oxygen Destroyer doesn't necessarily have to completely destroy oxygen atoms. Most of the names in science fiction are nonsense, and you're talking about a Japanese translation to boot. It might be a catalyst that causes a chemical reaction, leeching oxygen from other compounds and converting it into another form. It might even be a self-sustaining nuclear reaction, simply popping a proton off the oxygen atom, turning it into nitrogen. It might be some sort of surfactant that isolates oxygen from anything else, then preventing chemical reactions with it (somewhat similar to leeching, without conversion). Worst case scenario, it could be destroying the matter. Wait a second... doesnt' that violate the law of conservation of mass? No, it's the law of conservation of mass and energy, so mass can be converted into energy... it happens on a daily basis. Don't believe me? Look up. There's a big ball of fusion up there that's constantly losing mass. 130.76.96.157 (talk) 19:42, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
