Why does Mothra fight Godzilla?

A giant Butterfly vs. a Fire breathing Dinosaur seems rather one sided.

That was a question driving this piece of the story. You get to see how I feel about it.

Turns out Mothra was an Idea to capitalize on the success of Godzilla much like other Toho monsters such as Baragon, Rodan and Manda.

You would watch Batman fight Dracula wouldn’t you (this actually happened in comic and animated form).

There was even an episode of Ultraman where he fought something that looked very much like Godzilla but damn that licensing it wasn’t just quite Godzilla.

Also the Humming Bird is called Birdura in case your wondering. Run the Spanish word “Verdura” through BabelFish and see why I think it’s funny.
