So what if they explained this in the movie. Basically, Tell the original story as it happened in 1954 Where Godzilla existed and had the mist breath which melted objects and not blow them up. Fast forward 60 years later and it's been covered up and the fossil on the bottom of the ocean has been healing, growing stronger and evolving. Now, he makes his appearance and is bigger and stronger than it was before, including his primary weapon of choice. Anyway, just a thought. (I realize Serizawa is in the movie and is a different character than the original)

Godzilla's thermonuclear breath cannot be in a gaseous form because gas dissipates the farther away from the source it gets. Godzilla's breath would go all of maybe one full Godzilla body length away and then dissipate into nothing. True it would be radioactive and bake the surrounding area with radiation, but it would be incredibly underwhelming. Physics demands a concentrated beam rather than a stream of gas. Not only does gas dissipate, but it also lacks any kind of impact as it's just a slightly denser form of air in a way. Even if it's radioatice, it's just gas and that makes it incredibly limited in its capabilities.
It has to be a concentrated beam or else it doesn't work.

You're taking things WAY too seriously.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-09-2014 10:55 AMkyero has right about why they changed, that does seem the best reason, advances in special effects have led to godzilla with a better breath, from a vapour to a beam, to a super beam that could reach above the earths atmoshere
