   You like to read between lines that aren't there, don't you? We are TOTALLY   
   not talking about GMK. My replies to you are strictly in regards to your   
   comments about the media in GxMegaguilas and G2000. Remember that.

   In G2000 and GxMG, Godzilla DOES have a history. Plus, they know about his   
   breath and are unwilling to take chances with allowing civilian aircraft to   
   be in the vicinity(that's just common sense). In GMK, there IS a helicopter   
   in the G vs. Baragon fight, which learns the hardway that it's not safe to   
   be a heli when G is around (but we're not talking about GMK, so feel free to   
   ignore that last part).

   Doesn't apply (even if we were applying real life to such films), mainly   
   being that NY is a worldwide hub. Aside from the diplomats and U.N., many   
   international reporters are *stationed there* regularly. It only takes a few   
   minutes in NY to make a worldwide scene (hence why the target was in NY).

   Actually, it is pretty set. He is spotted (either directly or by satelitte),   
   military projects his trajectory, tries to evacuate those in that trajectory   
   and in the area he lands (or will do so ahead of time if they spot him early   
   enough), then create a military presence to attempt to drive him back. It's   
   not a reporters field day, trust me.

   Re-read your original post. It was *you* who had a problem with reporters in   
   G2000 and GxMegaguilas. We didn't even mention GMK. I merely attempted to   
   clarify the situation.
