My favorite Godzilla showa Era film,my favorite GodIlla film and my favorite film of all time!

Preach!

Me too

Yo you have my name bro😂

Definitely one of the best Showa Era Godzilla films. On par with Mothra vs Godzilla, Invasion of Astro Monster, and Destroy All Monsters. I always loved this movie as a kid!

Agreed

I agree this mechagodzilla is a threat to the world not just Godzilla which makes him more a more intimidating villain monster

@@lukegulley1095 It's pretty interesting and shocking that a machine like Mecha Godzilla can be as strong as Ghidorah himself by handling 3 or more kaiju on his own! Crazy stuff!

I like how geometric his body looks, it definitely sells the robotic factor for me

I've never really looked at the situation that way before. Even as a child I started wondering "Why couldn't MechaGodzilla just fly over to where King Caesar is rather than walking?" As for the alien henchmen morphing into a half-ape humanoid, the only minor thing that actually freaked me out was when he suddenly lunged and attacked out of nowhere while emitting that monkey-like shriek. That part for me was basically a jumpscare and what also didn't help is that I had the volume on the TV a little louder than usual.

Ahhh that makes sense, thank you!

The Jet Jaguar mask looks like the Sam Rami Green Goblin mask

We are both lucky for watching this film as are first! Bro fist 🤜🤛

Me too man, but I saw it in 2000. For the record I don't count the Trimark...film?...as a Godzilla movie so my claim holds 😁

some reason have a love for Showa era move’s

Had the same boxset, and still do.

sorry for the wait, life is not cooperating lol

Debatable when shin gojira had mostly positive reception in Japan and mixed reception everywhere else, on top of that legendary did a better job at making godzilla emotional/expressive than shin gojira and the later reiwa godzilla incarnations

@@Kaiju-bm4ts only reason why, is because the majority of western audiences have been conditioned to Godzilla VS (insert flavor of the month monster name here) movies since Godzilla Raids Again. Legendary films, vs Shin show two very different ways. Shin shows, an EXTREMELY realistic movie, and shows how screwed the world would be if something like Gojira came ashore, and also serves as a cautionary tale about nuclear fallout/ waste not seen since 54. Whereas Legendary follows a "cookie cutter" format and follows the typical dreck of US monster films of "let's use nukes to destroy the monster". Not to mention that with each new director, the monsterverse got worse and worse. The only good thing that came out of it was Kong: Skull Island..

@@WorldTravelA320 Shin gojira isn't a realistic movie, the term you're looking for is grounded and it's the setting that is realistic, not godzilla himself. The moment they said he shouldn't come on land, that's where the movie should of ended cause any kaiju would collapse underneath their weight due to the cubic square law. The movie is supposed to represent the Fukushima nuclear disaster which is something not all Americans can relate to when America as a country had nothing to do with it unlike the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki There's 2 sides to godzilla's character and Japan is sticking to a experimental side where godzilla is the antagonistic while legendary is handling the simple heroic side that toho is either taking a break from doing or not doing at all so what's the issue here?. Godzilla is niche in America and Americans aren't gonna sit down and watch any Japanese film unless they're that open minded to foreign films (which they aren't) or they're interested in becoming godzilla fans or just interested in Japanese entertainment overall. Legendary is doing what toho has done in their 3 previous eras and toho has expressed nothing but support for the MV and are even working with them atm so what is your argument here? Especially when only g14 wanted to use a nuke to get rid of kaiju. I don't recall ksi, kotm or gvk using nukes to kill something. Comparing shin gojira to the monsterverse is like comparing the death star to an orange because they're both round. Both are too different to be compared because both represent 2 different sides of godzilla.

@@Kaiju-bm4ts what I mean by realistic, no annoying super weapons, no mechas, just straight up conventional forces. Only reason the vast majority of American fans hate it is because, we saw how weak our weapon systems would be. People still talk about Shin. Legendary..... not so much.

@@WorldTravelA320 dude there's no "vast majority" of Americans who hate it when it's 50/50 across most English speaking territories, that includes America. Shin gojira has mixed reactions among English speakers at best. Americans who like it, like it because it's different but faithful Others that don't, don't like it because it's either too different for their taste or godzilla doesn't come off as emotional or expressive, that has nothing to do with the lack of monster fights or advanced weapons so please stop misinterpreting why Americans love or hate shin gojira if you're not from America or even in America The fandom talks about legendary and shin almost daily so....what are you on?

I always thought how cool it would've been for Toho to dish out just one last Showa film after Terror of Mechagodzilla, where King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla team up against Godzilla, who would require assistance from King Caesar, Anguirus (healed from his injuries), Jet Jaguar, Rodan, Mothra and Gorosaurus to save the day!

@@christiandenault7606 I do remember something else that would be a fitting ending.

Long time coming

Yeah well those giant cockroach alien things from Godzilla versus Gigan yeah I got pretty much nightmares from them I couldn't figure out how to go to sleep now oh yeah and I hate cockroaches

@@Godzillaraier208 Lol yeah I remember getting creepy vibes from them as a child too

@@ShinGoji1987Official yeah that's why I'm scared and yes I hate cockroaches human-sized cockroaches nope I am out of there I am not going to deal with that cuz I don't like cockroaches cuz they're disgusting
