Slightly disappointed Haruo didn't put Yuko into the Vulture, and then it reacted to her Nanometal and took off without him

Then it morphs into Mechagodzilla because NANOMETAL, SON, and we get a proper battle between Godzilla Earth and his metal doppelganger

On the bright side, this trilogy got me to watch Shin Godzilla and GMK, so...

Watched Final Wars and they could've cut out the Mutants/Xilians stuff and lost nothing of real importance

I just skipped to the kaiju bits and "Godzilla getting frozen, monsters appearing everywhere, Godzilla breaks free and kicks their butts" still works as a story

Also quite amused by the Take Thats to the American Godzilla that is literally just a T-Rex, both here and in GMK

I liked Zilla's design in Rulers of Earth - usually because it's the comics and not early CGI technology

Early cgi is not a good excuse when jurrasic park came out 5 years earlier and still looks good almost 30 years later

It's probably my bad eyes, but the '98 Zilla itself looks a lot better - close to the Jurassic Park dinosaurs because those were popular at the time - than what they did for Final Wars, which I'm reasonably sure was intentional

Took me perusing the wikizilla to learn that Shin's tail has a mouth at the tip of it, hence why it could shoot laser beams

To be fair though, Legendary Big G would tear Zilla apart like tissue paper. Because he rules

Edit - am I remembering right that Zilla is pretty teeny for a kaiju?

Small enough to hide between Manhattan's buildings instead of towering over them

Also able to go through a building without knocking it over

54 meters/about 184 ft

The one in Final Wars was 90 meters tall and still weak as paper


Got redeemed in Rulers of Earth though

I think I've only seen five Godzilla movies, so...

Shin, GMK, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Tokyo SOS...

Erm...maybe the entire anime trilogy could count as one, if you cut out the boring bits and only focus on the twenty minutes of kaiju...?

Tbh I found even parts of that boring, like the reveal of the big Godzilla was cool but the end fight with gidorah was honestly kind of lame

I liked the idea of an extradimensional kaiju whose anchor was a flesh-and-blood being

The problem was the execution

Incorporating characters' names into music is a lot of fun - Dragon Ball Super: Broly used it to good effect too to the point they're literally chanting the names as characters beat the poo poo out of each other

Put that with giant kaijus as they wreck cities? Hell yes

"I think this is the one where the genitals are blurred out. If not, you can leave a comment with my assistant."

"It's not a coincidence that Monster Zero thing is headed here. It's reacting to Big Bird's cries. That means it's coming for food, a fight, or a f- Something more intimate."


I actually fell half-asleep during the Mothra/Rodan fight because everything started to look and sound the same, which was disappointing

Rewatching KotM, and I just realized at the end, when Charles Dance acquired the severed Ghidorah head, that was the "Curly" of the three heads he was buying.

Man, what would a clone of that one be like?

The other heads are Larry and Curly, of course
