   I don't understand. Are you saying there WASN'T a military blockade in the   
   events that take place in GMK?   
      
      
      
   Have you known many military

   Remember also, in many of these movies, They know where

   But in these recent movies, there has been no record of Godzilla shooting   
   down any helicopters prior to his respective appearance in said film since   
   the timeline starts over with every movie.

   Couple of points:   
   1) What we learned after 9-11 is that anything can become a quick media   
   situation prior to any military action taking place (if we want to apply   
   real life into films)   
      
   2)When a monster appears out of the blue, it's not set in stone that the   
   military can quarantine any area ASAP, especially since you would assume the   
   monsters don't follow the laws of man and can be very unpredictable.

   Ok, I'm a bit confused then so bear with me. What exactly is your problem   
   again with GMK in regards to reporters?
