Heavy-weights in comparison to their fellow Pterosaurs...Too heavy, infact, to achieve powered Flight. According to the most recent research, they were deemed flightless, and thought to live a terrestrial existance...

You honestly think things like those could waddle around on land without being picked off by the predators that, I dunno, ARE adapted to live on the ground? They would have gone extinct if they didn't have the advantage of flight, or passive flight to be specific. Y'know. Gliding? 300+ pounds isn't that hard to get off the ground with 36+ foot wingspans

Gliding? I can see that. The only problem? How does a 300+ pound Pterosaur get off the ground to glide? I simply cannot see it rearing up on it's hind legs so that it's wings catch the strongest wind. Pterosaurs were quadropedic, and their leg structures prevented them from standing on their hind legs....

Jump off a cliff. There would be cliffs around prehistoric sea shores. Sea shores have the strongest thermal inclines. COULD THERE HAVE BEEN A CONNECTION?! O:

Preposterous. Of course not. Let it be known that this is sarcasm CS speaking. Sarcastically

Problem. All fossils of Quetzalcuatlus and co. have been found far away from where there would have been ancient seas, and there's no evidence that there would have been ancient lakes or anything near where those fossils were found, unlike Pteranodon, which DID live by the shore.

In other words, Quetzalcuatlus and co. probably lived far from the sea, and lived primarily terrestrial lives... probably.

Now, I'm just saying what the latest scientists are saying... so don't shoot the messanger.

I just had a nerd moment....

Alright, so Godzilla feeds on radiation and nuclear fission, everybody knows that. Alright, so the sun generates heat and light by going through nuclear fission over and over again. Sometimes it goes overkill and causes what are called "solar flares". In theory, not even tossing Godzilla into the sun would kill him, because he would abosrb all the nuclear energy and use it as fuel and possibly grow even LARGER and MORE powerful (whether or not he would explode from all that power notwithstanding).

Nah. He'd transfer his energy to the sun and make it go super nova. Destroy Tokyo (and the rest of the solar system) once and for all and end his misery
