@Stephan: I shouldn't of said that I only watch the show "for the cheese". Because that really isn't true. While I do laugh at its cheesiness, I do consider and think about the backstory, the original intentions, and whatnot used within the show. It's just that I'm not as bothered by it as other people are.

I prefer to analyze it, as opposed to just watching it for the sake of it being cheesy, or watching it with the full intention of being serious. I can't say I'm serious while watching these shows, I always laugh at some goofy detail, or the costume, or that one nozel that sticks out like a sore thumb, but I do take everything to all consideration.

I also happened to notice how many tokusatsu monsters resemble mutated animals. For example, Okozeruge, from Superhuman Barom 1, or Lunatyx, from Ultraman Ace. And like you mentioned, the entire backstory of Godzilla fits in. I do believe that the Japanese were extremely terrified by that atomic bomb that was dropped, destroying a whole city, and countless innocent people, and irradiated a ton of other places, killing even more people and animals, and perhaps mutating them. I think they were stunned, and I do find it terrible and sad for what happened. Now, the mutated animals as tokusatsu monsters could be a coincedence. But it doesn't change that they were truly horrified, and used this mind-blowingly awful incedent to make horror stories, because what happened really was a horror story. A tragic one at that. And that was something to think about while watching "Gojira", the first Godzilla film.

Apologies for the huge book of text, but I felt the need to put this in a comment.
