The breath is what gave it a point, that said, isn`t his atomic breath radiation based? since Godzilla also absorbs radiation? Then how come that attack did any sort of damage to the radiation absorbing Cloverfield?

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
Nuclear power plants are also radiation based, but in fact the power generation itself is based on heat. I imagine the effect of Godzilla's breath is the same: It has the very high temperature and the consequent pressure doing the damage.Originally Posted by UChessmaster
But radiation is hot, how would fire hurt them...?

I think radiation in this case mainly refers to alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. If any radiation would do for these mutos, they would just bask in the sun like any lizards. I don't think these monsters needs a chain reaction (with the massive amount of heat generated), they need just the natural radioactive decay. All solid matter has their upper thermal limit before they starts to melt or take damage even before melting, living matter all the more so. That's why the military folks in the movie intended to wipe out the monsters with a nuclear explosion. They would have been vaporised like anything near enough the ground zero.
The military is stupid trope is something of which I am so tired. They could have easily figured out (I did, after all) that transporting a nuke anywhere near a Muto would lead to it being intercepted. They should have baited the Muto with some radioactive material intentionally to distract it, so they can transport the actual nuke to the intended location.
I really hate it when people lack common sense in fiction. It just screams rushed or bad writing.
Peace.
Godzilla plummeted 66% at the box office during its second week. SHOCKING!

Yeah, thanks DOTFP. Oh well, at least Godzilla is getting a sequel.
And by sequel, I mean trilogy.
And bad word of mouth, don`t forget that.

True, and hopefully they will take this into account when they make the next movies.
