Apparently the reason why Toho declined the offer for a Godzilla vs Gamera movie was because they would have to share the profits with Kadokawa, and since they knew that more people would watch the movie for Godzilla, they would be providing the more marketable monster and get payed the same amount as Kadokawa, so they said no. All because they didn’t want to share

It was also a bit of ruthless businessman-ship. Think about the many Japanese and International imitators Godzilla had. There was Reptilicus, Yonggary, Gappa, Pulgasari, Gorgo and Gamera. Godzilla outlasted and outshined all of them. Nearly all of them have been sort of left in the dustbin of the history books. Gamera proved to have the most staying power...12 films, which is the only non-Toho Kaiju to bolster such a large roster of films. So...Toho is somewhat shrewd. Doing Godzilla vs Gamera "elevates" Gamera, and sort of concedes that Gamera is on the same level of Godzilla. They don't want to admit that or concede that. They want Godzilla to stand above all others. There is a rumor that Godzilla defeating Kong in Godzilla vs Kong might even have been "Toho mandated"...they want Godzilla on a pedestal above all other monsters. If you think that the title of "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" and the final scene of other monsters literally bowing to Godzilla isn't a MASSIVE ego-boost for Toho, then you are delusional. So sure, for a few years they make people mad by never putting Gamera on the level of Godzilla. But look where we are at now. Godzilla has a successful Hollywood franchise, and Gamera hasn't had a film in 16 years. Gamera just might slowly spiral down into obscurity as Godzilla continues to thrive and persevere as the one giant monster above all others. That is exactly what Toho wants.

In one of the godzilla super complete works books released for the film the director confirmed the two are father and son. With the present day Godzilla being his kid who survived the castle bravo blast but the 54 Godzilla never finding out a part of his family made it out alive. It definitely changes the conflict of the original Godzilla, with him being a victim and a grieving father who lost his whole family to castle bravo.

I love this movie...because it is basically the exact same team behind "Godzilla vs Megaguirus" taking the exact same basic plot and character structure of that film...and just remaking it with a TON of improvements. Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla is the same exact film as Godzilla vs Megaguirus just with better character arcs, a tighter and smarter screenplay, a more realistic super weapon, a better adversary for Godzilla, better production value and visuals, and improved pacing, editing, and structure. It is a much better execution of the exact same concept.

It's too bad that all three of Tezuka's films follow basically the exact same pattern and beats. This is really a remake of megaguirus. And Tokyo SOS hit many of the same beats and ideas as well. But the music was great in all three and they all have some nifty effects, even if the stories were very repetitive and pedestrian at best. One thing you touched on here was something that the people who do special effects at Toho had to contend with, and that was the attempt by the studio to save money by having them do more sequences at night. After 1992's Godzilla versus mothra, Koichi Kawakita was told by the studio to reduce any daylight battle sequences to save Toho money on the electric bill. Toho was well known to try and squeeze any and every penny out of the production. Probably the worst example of this was on Godzilla versus destroyah, where they reduced the special event shooting Days by 10 days, gave them only 3 weeks post-production, and actually, against Kawakita wishes, cut some special effects in that were not even fully completed and composited. Yikes. Nice review on this however!

With Tezuka's enthusiasm and joy making Godzilla movies I can't not enjoy Godzilla against Mechagodzilla I enjoy Tokyo S.o.s equally especially with the message of that film. - - - - - - When Kiryu [Original Godzilla] is finally able to rest; the message from the Grandfather *Live with the time nature has given us* I see both these films as one continous story. I think it was Honda who said Godzilla is a tragic monster and the idea of Mechagodzilla is just as emotional From dying to being awakened against your will to probably be in pain in a cold metal chassis. The action is top notch it presents itself in a whole different way compared to the heisei era. In a good way. But the storytelling and characters in this film are my favourite part. It's very interesting seeing a different feel and style from Tokyo S.o.s and Final Wars. I would recommend this film to my friends though it's hard to convince your friends who know next to little about Godzilla to watch it 🤖🦖

I respect director Tezuka for adding such spectacle and scale to this era alot. .....But disagree on his opinion with Akane as I found myself gravitating towards her more. As she's a woman who lost everything and suffered with it for years. There were scenes that show she's battling some kind of depression. And that makes her more relatable and interesting as a protagonist. She kept going despite what other people thought and said of her!! The character arc showed off Akane's physical and mental strength.... And while I'm happy she lived to the end despite the risk of radiation poisoning and godzilla himself! ..I could understand the vision of the alternate ending. What better blaze of glory than severely harming godzilla so he runs away!? That would be a heroic send-off 👌👌✨✨
