Idk what others say about it, but what is definitely whitewashing and problematic about it is changing the origin story. s. http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/force-nature-man-rubber-suit-back-look-back-60-years-godzilla-king-monsters/
Originally Godzilla was inspired by an accident involving a test-detonation of a hydrogen bomb by the U.S. resulting in the fatal irradiation of several Japanese fishing boats crews.
See that in the light of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It's not directly about the American, it's about the atomic bomb itself, yes. But taking this part of American responsibility out of the story is shitty as fuck.
“We’ve taken it very seriously and the theme is man versus nature and Godzilla is certainly the nature side of it,” said Edwards in a July 2013 interview.“
force of nature, ok. but appropriating the story by rewriting it so that Americans shoot atomic bombs to stop godzilla, as it's at least rumoured? that's just wrong in my opinion, if you call it white washing or not.
