There’s no escape. Godzilla is back, and more popular than ever. Despite being a Japanese creation, the beloved, city-destroying kaiju has really permeated American culture. The “Godzilla” reboot starring Bryan Cranston opened this week and is doing some damage to its competition.

As you might expect, a gargantuan lizard inspires a fair amount of social media snark.
Godzilla is our second favorite lizard creature right after Bruce Jenner.

I think my favorite part of Godzilla is when he wrestled that giant kitten. pic.twitter.com/JdayVGqODh

I can't make it out in the trailer, but it looks like Godzilla fights Rosie O'Donnell

Godzilla might be able to take Rosie, but Bryan Cranston’s alter ego from “Breaking Bad” could give him some trouble.

Who'll save us when there's a 164,000-ton monster on the loose? Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, of course. http://t.co/ZmQVmAc2L1

Just remember, if you do get injured in a giant monster attack, you may be entitled to money.
