Just watched this for the first time yesterday, after seeing almost all of the Showa movies and every single Godzilla movie from '84 and onward. Holy FUCK this was kino. Showachads I fucking kneel.
>>205388619It's the only Godzilla movie that contains nudity I think.
>>205388891It's a fake prosthetic but yes they look like tits. That, a shot of a page out of a titty mag in All Monsters Attack, and a single kiss in Astromonster is as lewd as Toho Godzilla has gotten.
>>205388619This poster is cooler.
>>205388619This is the greatest Godzilla media to come out of that era; it's flawless. The perfect Godzilla adversary is a cyborg imposter, piloted and controlled by green ape demons from space.
Yeah its one of my favorites. The alien plotline is a little tired by that point but the story with the scientist and his daughter is interesting enough, handled better than in Biollante in my opinion. Titanosaurus is a good parallel to earlier showa godzilla. The spotlight shot of Godzilla arriving to fight is great. Great sendoff for Showa Godzilla and Honda.I recommend you check out all the showa from Godzilla 54 through Ebirah. original Mothra too.
>>205388891In Spacegodzilla they briefly show that guy's bare ass when he's taking a bath on the island.
>>205390668this international knockoff mecha G poster hits kinda hard
>>205390686>the greatest Godzilla media to come out of that eraIs clearly vs. Gigan.
>>205390832rockin' tits on goji....
>>205390945remember the shot of a building interior and they literally used like barbie style dolls. i know other movies had miniature soldiers on the back of vehicles, but those were shot far away and from behind and had realistic proportions.
>>205390806>The spotlight shot of Godzilla arriving to fight is greatAlso Godzilla punches the fuck outta MechaG and Titano. The explosions and destruction scenes are amazing as well, maybe the best out of Showa era movies.
>>205390945Gigan got cucked out of the spotlight. There were large lapses in the franchise where chicken boy didn't fit in. They spent the money to revive Gigan costume at least. Warms my heart.Also the only thing that movie is missing is a song. A catchy tune to charm the audience. Oh wait... This one's got that covered. https://youtu.be/cdnP9iCLdx4?si=P6pbSNSALPdvfh-B
>>205391030I like how the military just hands out crates of explosives to scooby and the gang and sends them on their way.
>>205391120
>>205390976Yeah, that's the nineties for you.
>>205390806>TitanosaurusI felt a little bad for the guy, he did nothing wrong. But at least in the end it's not clear if he dies or not, he just falls back into the sea, so he might have survived.
>>205391677
>>205391389I like how the artist took the time to draw a life-sized poster of him and his friends to cover the explosives with. Even for a highly skilled and efficient artist something of that size would've taken quite some time to draw. And there's no way he had that thing laying around beforehand; he's just met these people.
>>205388619You can really tell Honda came back, easily the most cinematic of the later showa era, some of the low angle/panning shots are amazing
>>205391939
>>205391361It's a shame this suit, and the new Jet Jaguar too, won't be used for anything other than the occasional public appearance now. Next year is Anguirus' 70th anniversary. Imagine if they fundraised a new Showa Anguirus suit and then recreated GvsGigan in a new short film with the new Anguirus, GFW Godzilla, Godzilla Fest Gigan, and GMK King Ghidorah. Oh, well...
>>205392003Yeah, exactly. There's no way he just whipped this up in twenty minutes. The military had to delay their operation for who knows how many hours in order for him to make this.
>>205392054I dunno man you ever see a caricature artist work? Shit goes quick.
>>205391961>easily the most cinematic of the later showa eraSpecially considering the previous film, I like vs Mechagodzilla but Honda's directing is night and day when compared to Fukuda's.
>>205392022They have the power. They chose not to use it.
>>205392159It's always amazed me how much Toho hates working. They could be making so much money but they do the bare fucking minimum.
>>205392087A caricature is normally of one person's face and is the size of a regular piece of paper, not a ten foot wide poster of five people's entire bodies, highly detailed and actual sized. Even if it went "quickly," that's still precious time that Godzilla and Anguirus were getting their asses kicked during. He still had to tell the military "Wait, don't save the world yet, I'm going to draw a really big picture" and then the military said "Okay."
>>205392233checkedAt least we got Minus One, and an upcoming sequel project; but frankly they have abused their rights to the franchise for years now.
>>205392307I honestly rather have a new Godzilla movie every 7 years or so than having it every 2-3 years. Keeps the quality in check and doesn't get stale fast like capeshit or something like that.
>>205392233They should make an Ultra Galaxy-style TV show. Super cheap and it's mostly just a bunch of rubber suits beating the shit out of each other, and they could sell all sorts of toys. Shit would be awesome.
>>205392527Can't we split the difference and call it a half decade?
>>205388619That fucking kino ass jazz soundtrack while MG is breaking Ang's jaw
>>205393548That'd be fine.
>>205390832That's the cover of the manga adaptation of the 90s version.
>>205394128Well I think it's neat.
>>205394162I think this is just fan art but I like it.
VOTE FOR BEST!https://strawpoll.com/6QnMOE518Ze/Can we agree these are the absolute best showa films aside from Gojira?
>>205393622That's the '74 movie, not Terror.
>>205394764For me, it's Invasion of Kino Monster.
>>205388619Terror was the best way to send off the Showa era
>>205395599fuggin' checked.
>>205394764For me its war of the gargantuas
Both Mechagodzillas are great. First is the best parts of the festival era with minimal stock footage, a charitable amount of blood and explosions, imaginative if budget aspects.Second movie is Ishiro Honda's goodbye to the classic Toho era of sci-fi. It's a great closeout to the era that encompasses the variety of it within the two movies.
>>205395760I fucking hate that she kills herself at the end. Still a great Goji movie.
showa rankings
>>205396282Nah you're a retard
>>205396282Hedorah has so much potential to have been A tier had they have taken it more seriously.
>>205391939>>205392274When you gotta crank out 20 pages a week you learn fast. superio rnipponese mangaka skill, prease understand
>>205396330i like Gigan and Jet Jaguar i just dont like vs Gigan or vs Megalon as much as the previous movies. i dont hate them but compared to eachother
>>205396282>hedorah on c>amerislop edit of the first movieDo better.
>>205396380I love all of it except the third act.
>>205395003Right on
>>205396282you've completely subverted my expectations
>>205396641I'd invade her ass like a monster... If you are picking up what I'm putting down...
>>205396842
>>205388619Reminder that Terror of Mechagodzilla was written by a woman. This is relevant because Ishiro Honda accepted to direct the flick after findind out. For some reason, kaiju films in the 70s were popular with kids and women and like a kid can't write a script, they brought a woman
>>205396469Hedorah is a great design and great concept but the movie is just all over the place, it feels cheaper and loose compared to most of the movies before it. The whacky shit helps, I like what Banno was going for but the story isn't that interesting.KOTM is worse than the original but it still a pretty respectful edit and keeps most of the movie intact.
>>205397391I agree, KOTM is alright.
>>205397541I have never felt the urge to re-watch a US goji movie. I've seen every Toho movie multiple times. Whatever I am looking for from a goji movie the US can't do it.
>>205397657Yeah, they're not that good. I think 2014 and 2019 are decent though, but both movies are too long and drag a little. Got one of my normalfag friends into Godzilla by showing him KotM, he then watched Against Mechagodzilla and enjoyed it a lot, so there's that. At least they can be gateway movies for your friends.
>>205397657>>205397974I feel like New Empire might age the best out of the movies thus far. It's fun and goofy in a 1970s Showa kind of way and it knows when it needs to focus on the monsters and doesn't cut away to show the humans like GKOTM did. Sure, it focuses on Kong more, but Godzilla not being in a movie a lot isn't new for the franchise. In Monster Zero he's only in, what? Ten minutes of the movie? It takes him like an hour to join the plot in Godzilla vs. Megalon.
>>205398727I'm literally never going to watch that tranny slop movie. It will be the first movie ever made with Godzilla in the title that I will never watch.
>>205398727>New Empire>best anythingJesus Christ, what are you smoking? That movie is the definition of soulless CGI slopfest. Easily the worst of the Monsterverse movies, and that's really saying something considering the other ones are already not great.
>>205388891Actually there is a topless granny in one of the Odo Island crowd scenes in the first few minutes of Godzilla 1954. lol>>205390628The nudie mag is actually in Godzilla vs Megalon.
>>205390628Theres a accidental upskirt in Godzilla vs Gigan
>>205399347>accidentallolok
>>205398835What the fuck does that movie have to do with trannies
>>205399495
>>205399621
>>205399665
>>205399755
>>205396842Nick Adams beat you to the punch.
>>205399785
>>205399805She was already used goods bro.
>>205395003Still crazy that this is still the only Godzilla film which has Godzilla fight or be on another planet aside Earth.
>>205399785>>205399755>>205399665>>205399621The Goji fanbase is one of the most retarded fanbases.
>>205399858Debatable considering it was Adams was the first to probably make her orgasm at all considering Japan dingus memes
>>205399877yet this made the trannies seethe uncontrollably.
>>205399805>>205399858Was kind of funny the guy who played the Alien leader fucked with this guy throughout production by having telling him Japanese phrases like "I'm horny" or "I'm an idiot please help".
>>205399977Nick deserved a better end. He though he was a failure but he was immortal.
>>205399755I always felt something was off with that movie. the only godzilla movie I havent seen and I've willingly have watched Revenge at least a dozen times
>>205400046Considering his affair with Kumi, I think his wife is who killed him in the end. His time in Japan could've been the best part of his life being away from her. Also found out he was close friends with Elvis Presley.
>>205388619Showa is the best era, and the Mechagodzilla duology was definitely a kino way to end it.
>>205400180It definitely was. I would like the Heisei era more had it followed the original plan what they were doing with 84 and Biollante instead of going full botched rehash mode with King Ghidorah, Mothra, and MechaGodzilla. Destoroyah was good though.
>>205400261All my favorites are in Showa and Millenium. If Heisei didn't exist I wouldn't be missing much. Hiya is about to do my favorite suit justice. I just have to stay alive until the end of next year.
>>205400261>>205400358I rank them Showa > Millennium > Heisei but I still enjoy Heisei. My favorite Heisei movie is actually vs King Ghidorah lol.
>>205400434Destoroyah gives me feels. But I think my favorite Heisei is Mechagodzilla II.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LsCTm2tEX4
>>205398835>>205400126You guys ain't missing anything. Tranny theories aside, the movie is just bad. Dumb nonsensical plot, two-dimensional characters, MCU-tier dialogue, CGI looks somehow worse than previous Monsterverse movies, Skar King and Shimo are uninspired, ugly kaiju designs. The sense of weight and scale during the monster fights is just not there anymore and like every capeshit/michael bay-core movie, it turns into a CGI blob at the end. I unironically like the Godzilla pink powerup, he looks cool in my opinion, but sadly it does nothing and it's wasted on a garbage movie that exists just to sell more toys.
>>205398835>tranny slop
>>205399621...And you're stupid enough to believe this? Even for someone on 4chan, you're fucking retarded if you think that post was serious.
Anyone know where to DL the short film from the recent gojifest? All Monsters Showdown or something? Thanks.
>>205400485I'd probably put vs King Ghidorah, vs Mechagodzilla II, and vs Destoroyah as my top 3 Heisei.
>>205400434My only problem with King Ghidorah was them changing his origins and with the reasoning is the guy who manned the majority of the Heisei era of films hated pretty much everything in the Showa era not named Godzilla 1954 with him going as far saying "I'm not gonna have my movies include stupid goofy space monsters."
