Honestly, it really added Godzilla's character growth of being a tragic villain disturbed by human interference to a protector of Earth from other monsters and aliens.

"Kaiju are actual, proper characters." Amen. Films like this one and Godzilla Vs. Ghidorah (among many others) that depict Godzilla's personality really enhance the entire film. In Ghidorah, it is Godzilla's remembrance of Mr. Shindo, then his hesitation before annihilating the man who once knew him, that adds that extra layer of humanity to the movie. Godzilla, as I have always said, is a complex and nuanced individual. Not merely a monster; an individual. The same can be said for all the creatures in his kingdom.

One of the most pivotal moments for Godzilla since his first appearance over the hill in the 1954 original; it was the moment when he started to become just a bit more than a symbol of atomic horror, and while he'll always be notable and remembered for that, I think the added flexibility of him being able to be other things has ultimately been a benefit for the character. It's kept him from becoming stale as time goes on, and allowing new creators to do their own respective spins on the King of the Monsters while still holding to the basic spirit of the franchise.

Mothra: Rodan, Godzilla! You must protect the Earth and the humans from Ghidorah! Time is of the essence! Godzilla: Why? Mothra: What? Godzilla: All humanity has done to me is turn me into a freak, shoot at me and try to kill me. Why should I go out of my way to protect them? Mothra: Rodan, please, protect the humans if Godzilla won’t! Rodan: The humans? The same humans who tried to kill me? The same humans who buried me in a volcano and killed my mate? *Those* humans? Sorry, but I’m going to have to agree with the fire-breathing fossil on this. As soon as this is over, we’re gonna keep fighting till one of us dies. In the mean time, humanity can go rot for all we care! Mothra: Please, if only for once. Godzilla: What part of no don’t you understand!? Besides, last time I remember, you bit my tail and you and your damn sibling webbed me up and pushed me into the ocean. Why should I even side with *you* in the first place!? So in other words, GET LOST!

Godzilla: Humans don't deserve to live! Mothra: They deserve to choose for themselves!

This dude always has some incredible insights. Even as a kid we thought this scene was Goofy and we kind of made fun of it. As time went on we learn to appreciate the Seymour but this video has been the culmination of that appreciation.

I’ve made my own One Monstrous Moment: Alpha Edition video about Godzilla 2000: Millennium. Godzilla 2000 imo has one of the best and most important entrances of the king of the monsters. This isn’t bad, good video Omni Viewer. 👍

The reason why Godzilla and Rodan were fighting each other is because of territory rights like animals do.

Fun Fact: That’s also one of My Favorite Scenes in the Franchise!

Im gonna upload mine soon, Sneak Peek: It’s about a scene of Gojira 1954

This scene is great as it shows the differing viewpoints and personalities of Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan. You did a good job with this video Omni and brought up really interesting stuff. Also, nice to see Snazzy make some appearances here.

I found this quite insightful. I remember seeing the film many years ago and that was one of the interesting scenes because it did show that the kaiju are more intelligent than what humans credit them for. When Godzilla and Rodan refused to help at first, they seemed to display snootiness.

I just love how the twin fairies call out Godzilla’s terrible language it makes me think that she says something like “the Earth belongs to the humans” or “we must protect the humans” n Godzilla says something like “fuck that” or “bullshit”

I like that much of G3HM's kaiju plot is essentially a Godzilla vs Rodan movie. But I have some doubts that Rodan ever comes to be heroic. Even in the final Showa film, he's seen as "one of the killers". On the other hand, Godzilla slowly becomes more heroic from this point on: the key word being slowly. It isn't an abrupt shift. The full flip has been made by the time of the Smog Monster, but only the child (the first Kenny of the series?) is the first to see it. (...and maybe whatever crazy merchandiser decided to start making kaiju toys in the Showaverse.)

I feel like Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster is overlooked and under-rated, nobody talks about this movie, and yet it's my 2nd favorite Godzilla movie.

Mine got copyrighted lol. Im gonna re-upload it

Godzilla is shown to be very intelligent in the Shōwa era the second Godzilla lost both to King Kong and Mothra when he was still learning then in later films he fights other monsters using the knowledge and traits from the monsters he fought in the past.

Excellent Video. Great Choice Omni, can't wait to watch everyone elses. Video Incoming on the 28th.

Good thing the debate wasn't between Ghidrah/Cyber Ghidorah, Space Godzilla, and one of the incarnations of Mecha Godzilla. Would still like to see this in a film though.

1:50 and you forgot to mention that her twin died shorty after they defeated Godzilla

Great pick. So hyped for the new round of moments!

Is the larval Mothra of this film the adult seen in "Ebirah"? If so, then the larva in "Destroy all monsters" is probably her daughter. The Italian dubs actually give the showa Mothras their own names, with only the one seen in "Ghidorah" and "Ebirah" actually being called Mothra. The one in "GvM" is named "Watang", while the one in "Detroy all monsters" is "Polluk".

The scene where the twins mention about Godzilla's bad language was just for the English dub, not in the original dub.

interesting observations to be sure, i never really picked up on the parallels between this conversation and the likes of the olympians...though i definently see it now, although funnily enough this makes me wonder about something regarding my native Reptilicus, when looking at his design and the way he is portrayed he really is like a Dragon of old in a mordern setting, heck when one really thinks about it Reptilicus has a lot of classical Fantasy/dragon story tropes, like Dirch Passer's character Mikkelsen (peterson in the atrocious american version) is depicted in a way very similar to classical comical figures of say arthurian legend, the scientists professor martens and dr. dalby could almost be seen as mordern day equivalents of the classic "old wise man/wizard" type characters , of course with Brigade General Mark Grayson and general Brandt you have your Knight characters, among others...just thought i would share this observation...ormaybe im just overanalyzing it...who knows, that's just how i see it

I liked this scene! It was almost the Avengers: Infinite War of this series with Ghidorah being Thanos and Civil War just occurred a few moments before.

There is amazing subtext here: In the original Rodan, Rodan had a mate & was gravely injured by humanity, so Rodan decided to die together within a volcano. Only... Rodan didn't die & was enraged, so he attacked Godzilla just so he would die, but still didn't want to make it easy for Godzilla. Here comes Mothra trying to convince Rodan at having a worthy death & calling Godzilla a coward. Mothra's willing to sacrifice herself is what convinced them both.

Small error I suppose is how you talk of Godzilla as if it’s the same individual from the very start. The thing is, that the Godzilla that attacked in the 1st film is NOT the same Godzilla that appears in the rest of the showa (to an extent, even the Heisei era) w/ difference between them being their exposure to humans: the original was bothered by the humans by the continual boats passing over his turf (PTSD from when the bomb was detonated no doubt) and “following” him on the island w/ the bell chiming and crowd of people on the hill. Eventually tried to go elsewhere but kept running into people before retaliating, like an animal cornered, and retreating to hopefully be left alone at long last. Then that brings up to the 2nd Godzilla. He seems to have no real beef with humans the same way the original did. Seeming to have more aggression towards the Anguirus than humans. Was most likely displaced very much like the original was and trying to find new territory. Once the Anguirus was dealt with he left. Not sticking around unlike the OG. Then the humans followed him to the arctic and buried him alive in ice. (Granted that would leave anyone pissed in that situation, ngl) The following incident after breaking free from his icy tomb was to make his way ashore. He retaliated against the army who fired at him as he was making his way ashore. Which eventually lead to the fight with Kong and later Mothra. So that might be why he was willing to help and eventually become earth’s saviour and called the humans ‘bullies’. He might’ve not even witnessed the bomb drop the same way the OG did and it’s association with humans. That’s just my theory anyways.

This scene is amazing! Godzilla finally became the hero! #TeamGodzilla!

The first idea I had for a kaiju moment was Godzillas initial encounter with spacegodzilla. The initial shock on godzillas face and desperation to seek kinship with this other member of his very rare species says much for his character, even if he is facing some mutant variant. And makes it all the more heart breaking to see him rejected and brutalizes by his cold hearted foe. The other idea I had likely doesn’t count since it doesn’t fit the criteria of being in film or show but I feel this creator perfectly captured the feel of a giant monster attack. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdN7e7qV28yYe3k.html especially with the scene in the send of the saurian monstrosity kronos exploding one vessel after another with his breath! And what The crewman kneeling down in helpless defeat before he’s atomized as well.

08:30. No, in Gojira they specifically stated he was a sea deity for the Ainu of Northern Japan.

I think a lot of "naysayers" about this film forget that Godzilla AND Rodan we're KILLING people in the first part of the film. It wasn't like they decided to just throw away any aspect of the characters all willy nilly and decide that these monsters would just begrudgingly forgo their past actions and jump in the human bandwagon. No. It took a giant moth larvae to convince them otherwise, dammit. Whatever the case ...I love this movie

9:42 Best line in the video.

Good pick

I liked this scene.

It was pretty damn goofy, but I do like the concept

Gotta hand it to you, every last point here feels like you're hitting on reasons barely below the surface that all of this resonates with so many people - and reasons it should. I do like my kaiju at least a little at an arm's length, something that puts them on a different plane than us and stops them from feeling like simply tall people with monster powers. But as far as turning Godzilla into the hero, "deity of _______ with his own concerns" is an angle that's easy to get behind.

Will submitting our videos one day after the deadline still count? Or at least before the 31st???

Omni I have uploaded my Moment

Can I still do a One Monstrous Moment Alpha Edition???

Hi Mr. Omni View could you give me link for your background music . it remind me the movie theater, I really miss going to movie theater to hang out with my friend and spending time with my whole family.

Great video, but pls tell me the time zones are not too different, It's the 27th here and I'm almost done. Sorry if it's too late.

Godzilla Vs Kong will probably be better than KotM.

10:30 eh thats not a good point. Intelligence isnt cringey by itself, godzilla rodan and mothra speaking to eachother is cringey. Not that they have that level of intelligence, theyre so large it would make sense they have a high intelligence (even tho big brain isnt always high intelligence) they can have the intelligence to speak but they shouldnt actually communicate as if theres a universal monster language all kaiju automatically know even when theyre different species. Itd be one thing if it was multiples of the same monsters/animals communicate like 2 rodan or mothras but its not so its cringe lol still good vid tho

Nice vid lol (edit btw im first)

I take issue with this "Gods of old used to discuss if they should interfere with the affairs of humanity" reference. That's a modern creation. The Greek gods never had qualms or rules about engaging with humanity, if they had a conflict of interests, it would be about what humans to support in a war.

I respect ur opinion and u got decent points but its still so cringe to me. "Godzilla! What terrible language!" As if he speaks and knows how to swear. Its not as cringe as the victory dance godzilla does from that old anime, or as cringe as godzilla vs hedorah or as cringe as the anime trilogy, hell its not even as cringe as people pretending shin godzilla was a good movie (lol it has good and bad, the tail face is dumb thighs too fat way more than g14 it has waaaaay too short arms, and its breath is strong but then he sleeps for weeks after that making him one of the all time weakest godzillas by far. Still like alot of it tho im just meming on it lol)
