Yesterday marked 64 years since Godzilla (1954) was released in Japan.
A number of people in social media and elsewhere made note of the occasion, so much so that it would be easy to get "lost in the shuffle".

One of the more interesting ones was posted yesterday at Comicbook.com.

Fans are ready to see Godzilla take on the other legendary monsters in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but today is a day to celebrate the big guy's birthday first.
Legendary Pictures took a minute to celebrate it's iconic monster's 64th birthday. You can't exactly buy Zilla a cake or some trick candles and expect him to smile (does he actually smile?), so you might as well get a little modern and celebrate with a cool GIF of the big guy doing what he does best...breathing crazy blue fire. You can check out the full birthday message below.
