Godzilla started in 1954 as a giant monster that wrecked everything around it. In his fourth film, Godzilla faced off against Mothra, Mothra being the heroic monster of the movie. Mothra, if you ask anyone in the Kaiju fandom, is one of the most benevolent, mainstream Toho monsters. In the original Ghidorah film, she is the only one who wants to fight Ghidorah, Godzilla and Rodan both seeing no reason to stick their necks out for humanity, but are eventually convinced to team up anyway. As more movies were made, Godzilla became more heroic and began to battle monsters of his own volition. And now the Legendary films Godzilla is outright protecting humanity and they named Mothra āQueen of the Monstersā
What Iām saying is, the Godzilla films are canonically a 35~ chapter, enemies-to-lovers slowburn.
