SERIOUS QUESTION! Legendary Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla vs Godzilla Minus One… WHO WINS!?

I saw this movie 4 times in the theater. Three times in color, and once in Minus Color (black and white). Worth it every single time.

The reason Noriko was standing still in 28:52 Is because of the fact that Godzilla attacking Ginza and everyone running and screaming in fear as buildings and debris fell from the sky reminded her of the raid bombings from the War Essentially causing her to have PTSD.

Somewhere in the novel it states that Godzilla Minus One has natural buoyancy like a duck, that's how he keeps afloat in the water.

they did have a separate black and white version for this to make it more in the spirit of the original,

コメント欄の皆さんの知識が豊富で日本人として驚いています。この映画はただのエンターテインメントではありません。戦時中の日本や特攻隊と重ね合わせて日本人が強いられていた環境も伝えられています。気に入ってくれて嬉しいです:)

11:25 Currency values have changed drastically since the WW2 era all over the world, so do not evaluate it by today's rate.

Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki the director of this film is a big fan of Godzilla, he also featured Godzilla as cameo in "Always: Sunset on Third Street" on 2005 and he is the director of "Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle" which have same design for Godzilla in this film

Yeah nah, like the plan to kill Godzilla in this movie is like the best one ever. Like the man said, ocean pressure at like a mile down below sea level is INSANE. The reason animals like Sperm whales can do that is because they don't do it quickly and they all but dump all the oxygen in their lungs, or they would get crushed. And then, the plan to drag it back up is good because once an animal is down that far, if they go back up again really quick, they'll basically explode because to survive the pressure down there their internal pressure needs to match the external pressure of the surrounding water, which means that if the surrounding water suddenly becomes far less pressurized, the internal pressure of the animal would basically blow them up like a balloon. So when Godzilla is taken down to the bottom of the sea you can see man is STUNNED because the pressure is so great, and then when he gets dragged back up again, you can see man's eyes are popping out of his head and his scales are falling off because he's bloating. The only reason the plan didn't work is because they underestimated just how tough it was.

Minus one literally have best regeneration ability but he's not that tanky

Those Warships on the movie are real ships that survive the war. The one that Goji stomps and get blast in the face was IJN Takao. She is the largest Heavy Cruiser in the world (no, Alaska is a Battlecruiser), she armed with 10 203mm guns and carries 8 sides of 610mm Type 93 Torpedoes. It is also the most heavily armed cruiser at the time before Alaska Class. The other two that participated to defeat Goji are IJN Yukikaze and IJN Hibiki. Yukikaze have a reputation of “Lucky Ship” she participated in many WWII campaigns that should’ve be her down fall, but she survives every single time. Fun Fact. After the war Yukikaze was take by The Chinese and she still has her luck, as Yukikaze is the reason why Taiwan is Taiwan today. Hibiki was taken by the soviets. Which kinda funny if you look at Minus One. They defeat Goji by pure Luck of Yukikaze. I find the movie to be a bit funny that US are scared of USSR than a Radio Active Lizard that can perform Fallout Series if it wanted to.

This movie was originally in color, but a black and white version has been released. In Japanese culture, "death before dishonor" was a serious credo. And kamikaze pilots were volunteers. Shikishima swore an oath to die for his country, but he was too afraid. It wasn't him his neighbor was specifically angry at, but all the "cowards" like him she blamed for Japan losing.

There's so much that makes this arguably the best Godzilla movie. I love the original, and I was blown away by Shin Godzilla and felt that nothing could top it at the time, but this one really got under my skin. In Hollywood blockbusters nowadays they claim 'it's about family' or 'it's about the friends we made along the way' but aside from running from green-screen set-piece to set-piece the characters rarely share any genuine emotion or moments. (There's a few honourable exceptions, sure.) In Godzilla Minus One you grow to deeply care about this post-war family growing together out of the shattered ruins. Tokyo lost over 100,000 people in one night of the fire-bombings, and the film is a sobering reminder that a lot of 'families' weren't related but were survivors trying to piece their lives back together and beginning new ones. I honestly feel that this film could have gone on being a post-war family story without Godzilla showing up, and I would have loved it. But Godzilla does show up. And because we love and care for the people (and the people of Tokyo are all sharing in this same story) we grow to fear and hate the impossible, near-malevolent unnatural force that crashes into their lives. I've never hated Godzilla until this movie. Shin made me a little in awe of him at points, but this one, this one I truly dreaded the big monster appearing. I'd hope this next appearance would be delayed each time, that things would get better for the characters. As I usually want to see big monsters stomping on things in movies, this was something of a unique experience where I actively didn't want Godzilla to show up. I just wanted him to leave them all alone. It's the most emotional Godzilla movie for me and it's actually about something, which all great monster movies are. That being said though go check out 'Destroy All Monsters', the big monster-mash wrestlemania face-off from the original series of movies featuring a whole host of Kaiju escaping from 'Monster Island' ("Don't worry, it's just a name!"). I loved it as a kid and it's still goofy fun.

One of the best movies of 2023 AND for under 15 million!!! Should have won even more awards!

Most incarnations of Godzilla have regeneration like Heisei, Millennium, Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Earth, Godzilla Ultima, even Monsterverse Godzilla has regeneration. But their regeneration is usually slow and we don't see openly on screen.

0:00 bro was flabbergasted

7:25 You gotta think about how she's feeling broski Her family & neighbors have all died, her home is in ruins, & while she's in the middle of that grief, someone who was meant to die *protecting* the country from tragedies like this just shows up alive? Of course she's gonna lash out

This is legitimately my favourite movie ever. I know that’s weird to say about a Goji movie, but it’s the truth. The characters are amazing, the music is beautiful, Goji is absolutely terrifying… except his arms are kinda goofy. Aside from that one incredibly nitpicky thing, this movie is absolutely perfect.

Also wanted to point out, the director said if TOHO gets him to do a sequel, he feels like he HAS to add another monster to the film. So if Minus One gets a sequel, we will get to see this version of Godzilla fight something.

18:38 Yes, that was the exact implication to their reactions, and this same social view on failed kamikaze pilots plays a big role. His redemption wasn't necessarily based on his own actions, but based on how society around him evolved for the better and learned to forgive him.

the black thing on her at the end was radiation damage being that long inside a radiated area will cause damage like that (we dont know when exactly they found her so she could have been under the rocks and bricks for a few days or even weeks if she found water and food which would also be radiated)

Its hard to explain, but basically the gas created a wall around godzilla separating him from the water pressure. So he went from zero water pressure on his body to being sunken down to 1500 meters and that pressure hit him instantly instead of it gradually getting heavier as he went down. Thats why his spikes went into his back again the pressure crushed them in. Then bringing him to the surface was like essentially bringing a blob fish up. If youve seen a blob fish in the pictures theyre disgusting flesh blobs. But under water at their depth theyre beautiful fish. The transfer from deep to up at that speed breaks the barrier and breaks their body down. So godzilla breaking the barier of the surface exposed him to the air causing his body to break up

The regenerative ability is how it survived Operation Crossroads and gained its new abilities.

Nah "you got experience where's your kids" had me rolling 🤣

「特攻か…」の翻訳が「神風」なのセンスすごい👏

Genuinely one of the best Godzilla films so glad you’re reacting to it!

Also, the black veins in her neck at the end are confirmed to be Godzilla Cells. Essentially her and Godzilla are directly connected

This is one of theee best godzilla film ever made no wonder it won an Oscar 🙌🙌

great video! 19:32 those news ppl are one of the biggest godzilla fans i have ever seen

So glad your reacting to this because i have been waiting and glad to see you are reacting to it as i never got chance to see in theaters in my small town, very awesome

The coment about "why you are standing there" or "Go, don't stop" is not a real reaction about the trauma of the humand mind, the real reaction is shock, terror and fear.

Minus 1 was able to capture the pure terror of what a Godzilla attack would be like. It’s the little details like the squish noise when he takes a step that really put you into this scene

the atomic explosion effect is cooler than Oppenheimer's film, if Oppenheimer is the one who made atomic, Japan is more experienced in sfx. Really very experienced, we know

I just love how Godzilla picks up the train like a chew toy Edit:cheese 👀 👄

Okay, Imagine someone tells you there was a movie focused on a kamikaze pilot trying to rebuild his home and life while dealing with his survivors guilt in post war Japan. It already sounds like a fantastic move. Then they say it's a Godzilla movie... I wouldn't have believed it could be this good. It's not just a great movie it's a great Godzilla movie!

Every version of Godzilla seems to have his own gimmick and with the wolverine healing, this one is probably one of the scariest versions 😮😅 I would definitely love to see a sequel to this one

I like how there are two simultaneous versions of Godzilla running. The hero and protector Godzilla is being run by America. The villain, force of nature, destroyer Godzilla is being run by Japan who invented the character.

30:18 my man went "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" i love it when he says that lol

300k congrats

Bro was waiting his whole life for this One 💀

I’ve been waiting for this bro I know u gon enjoy this 🔥

What i really like is the contrast in the different Godzilla's mentality. Most dont really care about the destruction they cause, it just being a side effect to their existance, but Minus One really goes the extra mile to show that he's the most ruthless monster of them all. Also, by the way if its not been mentioned, 49:05 it was said by the director that she's basically been marked by Godzilla's Cells. What that means is for fans to figure out

I saw this for my birthday when it first came out it was all in Japanese and had subtitles but it was worth it I didn’t even look at subtitles great reaction ❤ love ya don keep up the amazing work

The reason the fish looked like that was because they were deep sea fish, they aren't accustomed to not deep waters therefore their skin inflates whenever they get too close to the surface rendering them basically dead because it forces them to float.

Yall know the term "fight or flight"? This occurs when your in a situation where you have too choose one of these For exemple: your in a fight and you have too choose to fight or run away Theres a third option called: "freeze" For example: you acidently make a fire and your brain chooses this You basicly just stay there before your brain snaps out of it Or it can be called E.D.P(emotion driven paralasyis) Its basically is what it sounds You enter this when your filled with surprise or fear More information on this on a episode of a boxing series(idk the name) On the third episode called "emotion" at the end

Ah so he's the VA of Taki in kimi no nawa

This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

cant lie, been refreshing ur channel to see when the reaction was up lel

Don, even if you can’t make a reaction video, you really should see a Godzilla movie, any one, in theatres if you can. The way his roars shake you down to your bones is chilling.

A good old fashioned Godzilla movie. I love it. I haven't seen the entire thing, but I intend to. Love the old Godzilla design. This is the Godzilla I grew up on. 🥰

This one of the best movie i've seen this year and one of the best godzilla movie i've seen in a long time just amazing.

First reaction to this movie from my subscriptions, can’t wait to see more. It was one of my favorite movies of the year

Its nice to see your reaction to this Godzilla Movie

"That building's lookin' at me funny..." XD

at 49:00, the thing on her neck is actually Godzilla's cells, which was confirmed by Takashi Yamazaki in an interview. Apparently, a sound effect was going to be added during that scene, but was removed.

This move in cinemas was AMAZING its indescribable

Oh I already know this before going to be a banger and I paused it immediately to type this. 🔥

44:51 He might've been standing on a continental shelf or a underwater mountain, which is also a common theory for how Godzilla stood in the water in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Or, because of his weight, he could be buoyant and be floating.

yayy I was waiting for this video

This is the first movie i’ve ever watched 4 times in a movie theater, it’s THAT good

the infection thing on her neck in the end is how biolante formed and its hinting that there is gonna be a second movie with biollante and godzilla

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

Always thought how Godzilla stands up in the ocean, wiggling his toes makes more sense than anything

how min 6 views but this was 🔥🔥 keep it up always love to watch u 😂

I forgot minus one just released digitally thanks for the reminder don time to watch this in HD this boutta be lit

Yesssss I’m so glad you’re watching this!!!

2:36 bro was not ready for this💀

That buildings looking at me funny nah shit got me dead 😂

Fam what streaming service are you watching this on i dont see it on anything

On what Streaming Plattform did u watch tho, i need to now it

Where did you watch the film, I can’t find it anywhere

Where do you watch movies? Me:DON TOWNSEND!!!

Did you all see the body's? Did you all see the body's 😂😂😂😂. Love your reactions when Godzilla steps and the ground pops up tossing people in the air!!

ABSOLUTELY PEAK MOVIE, THE BEST OF GODZILLA NO DOUBT. By the way Don, GXK: The New Empire comes out on digital later this month if you didn’t peep already.

How did you watch this where can you watch it? I can’t find any platform for watching it

00:54 It may be because they mixed it up with Minus One (1954) which was the original, maybe first, Godzilla movie. Godzilla Minus One (2023) is the remake of the 1954 version.

How’d you watch it? (If I may ask) Can I just create an account on Japan’s Prime Video to watch it and use a free subscription? Will a VPN work alternately?

Let’s go my favorite Godzilla film 🎉

How did you get access to stream this!?

I am Japanese. As has already been said in other comments, the heroine, Noriko, was alive because she was struck by Godzilla cells that were spewed out along with the rays. The black bruise you saw on Noriko's neck is the part where Godzilla cells were infected. It is said that the director originally planned for him to die, but he wanted him to meet Shikishima, so he changed it to a cross-section arrangement.

The reason they didn’t run in the boat after the second mine explosion is cause the boat was damaged.

19 dollars in 1950 is like 240 dollars today

What I love about this movie is that it perfectly captures Godzilla’s pure hatred for humanity, one of the characteristics of his that has seemingly dwindled over the years. He actively goes out of his way to cause as much destruction and death as possible, as if it’s all deliberate.

0:08 "NO!! DON'T PUSH ME AWAY I WANNA DIE WITH YOU!"

For those who don’t know: this version used the Heisei Era origin

I saw this movie 5 times in the theaters, I never saw the black and white version, and I’m kinda disappointed I didn’t see the black and white version

where did you find the sub streaming ?

Godzilla minus one? More like godzilla minus one half. " *Santa ahh laugh* "

I was waiting for your reaction

How do you stream this what platform is it on

People only talk about the dropping of nukes on Japan. Operation Meetinghouse was arguably just as bad. Firebombing Tokyo had about the same amount of deaths as Hiroshima and was far more brutal. Nuclear blast.. or a city wide 1,800 degree oven and fire storms. I know what i'd choose.

HOW DO I WATCH IT?! ITS MY FAVORITE MOVIE AND I HAVENT SEEN IT SINCE DECEMBER

That shot at 47:06 is absolutely terrifying

Ayyyyyy my man watched it!!!!

where are people watching this outside of the theaters? ive been waiting for it to come out on streaming platforms

17:32 My Brother straight up said ‚They‘re Dead‘ without hesitation 💀

Brother...your reaction was on fire. From 30:02 to 30:34. Atomic fire dude. Only reactors I enjoy this much is Kathateshorrormovies and JenMurray when she gets caught off guard. Damn dude. Many, many thanks!!!!

The scene 49:08 was the result of the radiation when godzilla blasted his atomic breath, and many other survivors probably have it. Expect a sequel in a while (5-10 years as my prediction)

28:52 I don't think bro has heard of "being in shock" before.

30:16 bro that atomic breath is just insane
