It is! Tracks 6, 7, 15, 16, 17 and 18. There's SIX variations on Decisive Battle in the soundtrack.

and 'Famously' of all things

that main theme and end title theme though

I think most people just expect every Godzilla film to be a dramatic allegory for nuclear warfare and such.

I’ve been listening to the score non stop since it got put on Apple Music. It’s really good!

Rodan’s theme is kinda dope.

Considering its placement in the score I think Rodans Theme is less a general theme and more the music for his entire first appearance.

at the end of the day, Godzilla didn’t win because of its own strength, capability, or anything it has agency over. It won the day because humans nuked it which gave it super powers that allowed it to kill ghidora instantly and without any tension.

To be fair, humans interrupted him in the first place with that pesky superweapon of theirs.

Also the Mutos in 2014 were pretty smart for animals.

See its an ironic echo of the opening scene.

Btw I saw everything perfectly, so maybe IMAX does help. (Even if its murder on my ears)

I also like that little moment of Mothra webbing up two heads and the third one just going 'oh crap' when Godzilla rushes in.

He, I think Battra is canonically Mothra's brother. Though hell I prefer to think Destroyah's a she so really do what you feel

So the reason why Battra is a bit of a gag. Mothra is called Mosura in Japanese because it's the English word Moth, combined with Ra, since the Japanese word for Moth is Ga.

The Japanese word for butterfly is Batafurai, which you would think would be the origin for Battra, but nope.

Their original name was Gigamoth, and was changed to Battra as a shortening of the words "Battle Mothra", and is referred to at one point in the movie as "Black Mothra".

So that's it really. Battle Mothra, becomes Battra.

Nothing to do with bats at all weirdly enough.

Also has the brattier set of twins

Where is this from?

From the unfortunately not so good Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters comicbook series.

I'll go to bat for G14 also having an incredible soundtrack. King of the Monsters beats it for letting Bear McCreary go wild with the Ifukube score and slamming his war drums into the mix but Alexandre Desplat made a really eerie sounding theme that still has those classic monster movie scare chords built in.

Desplat made a fantastic soundtrack for the movie indeed. Even little moments like the chinatown sequence.

And while McCreary's work is equally amazing, its a pity that the movie decided to bury the score underneath all that sfx.
Like the scene with Ghidorah's cry across the world should have gone loud with this.

Maybe I should have listened to the Minus One soundtrack on Spotify rather than Youtube. Now I'm getting dozens of "Minus One DESTROYS Woke Hollywood movies!" recommendations and I'm all like "no thanks, I'm good."

Oh I share your misery in that.
Still a great soundtrack at least.

I'm not going to go into too much detail but the final episode of monarch was really annoying just like all the other episodes. Maybe they can say everyone died in the events of KOTM if they want to make another season.

And most of the cast of KOTM died after that movie clearly

All that and she's one of the few monsters that can (indirectly) communicate with humanity thanks to the twins.

Hey Battra has twins too in one continuity.
Not that you would want those two to speak for Kaiju

KOTM had the best soundtrack but the worst treatment since it gets absolutely buried under soundeffects half the time.

Mothra here and that is cool and all, but my sibling is King Ghidorah which explains a lot.

Just rewatched Godzilla KOTM. Holy poo poo I forgot how loving annoying the script was. They were trying so hard to be funny. From memory GvK was not this annoying whatsoever. Like straight up serious scenes are cut by the randomest of quips and jokes. Tonal whiplash all over the place.

Even the best scene (Rodans) had some cuts showing off the comical reactions of everyone on the flying ship. It was annoying I agree.

Finally finished Return of Godzilla. Nice buildup, but as soon as Godzilla appears, everything slows to a crawl. It's fine, just, mediocre.

The score is terrible though

But my childhood memories!

The other thing that annoyed is how, for a film that apes so much of Spielberg, it employed little of his cinematic language to make Godzilla's appearance impactful or suspenseful. He just appears in the frame. They don't even bother to score him until halfway through the move. When he comes out of water he doesn't even make waves. This is the least awe inspiring Godzilla has ever been in a solo film. Less so than the 98 film, even.

I mean just because they dont use his standard theme does not mean his scenes were scored without music
