A Brief History of Kaiju Movies 1921-2023

[@yohannbiimu]

"Kaiju" means (literally) "Strange Creature," so the said creature will have some sort of mysterious or supernatural background. The thing about this genre is that, for some reason, it doesn't involve "strange creatures" that aren't enormous, like "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" or Frankenstein's Monster. I mean, there's nothing in the translation that would preclude strange beasts or monsters that aren't enormous. It would seem to me that the enormous monsters would be called "Daikaiju", while less "Great" creatures would simply be called "Kaiju."

Exactly!!

[@ferbusgddc]

This was a fun one!

[@CannonFodderrx]

Look at Dawn being a big boy and having his own intro

[@paulrubens776]

it was interesting , great video

[@Teknik_Tokusatsu]

This my favorite ULTRAMAN Tsuburaya production 13:33

[@JUST_CHILLIN_LOL]

If you think about it… all giant monsters (even if their not ad big as a building) still count as kaiju but not in a city destroying way

[@danishhadi740]

Kaiju Are Freaking Amazing

[@samwill7259]

I didn't know you were recording these videos inside the Evil Dead cabin somewhere in rural West Virginia, my bad, my bad.

[@DawnGDDC]

This is where every video is filmed

[@samwill7259]

@@DawnGDDC I know, jsut not what you expect for a youtuber's house. I dig it

[@theinmoe5951]

Ngl to me Godzilla was the goku of toku satsu and ultra man, kamen rider’ and super sentai was the big three of toku.

[@harizniboss]

Its tokusatsu not toku satsu

[@gamrr_NERD]

Just to think without King Kong or the Beast we wouldn’t have the Kaiju genre.

[@androyus]

Just a constructive criticism from me: you need to balance your volume better. Having your voice louder than the voice in the edited-video parts is annoying to listen to, especially when not using earphones.

[@DawnGDDC]

I’ll keep that in mind

[@ferbusgddc]

That was an audio issue during the render, I didn't notice. I'll double check next time, thanks for the feedback!

[@levicox3107]

Hey dawn, it's your favorite check in guy again. How are you doing. How is rafinky doing. How is feakus doing

[@DawnGDDC]

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WASSSSSSSUUUUUUUP thx for checking in again I'm doing good and the boys are good to!

[@levicox3107]

You're welcome

[@DawnGDDC]

For the record I actually like Godzilla vs Kong

[@ferbusgddc]

Boooooo

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

​@@ferbusgddc oh wow, someone can't handle a different opinion

[@ferbusgddc]

@@Kaiju-bm4ts Inside joke

[@froshtea]

Same. All the Legendary Godzillas are my thing. Its big monsters

[@bryanstephens1182]

Don't forget about Godzilla Minus one, coming November 3red 2023, and worldwide December 1st 2023.

[@Masonicon]

Is Ultraman was first Kaiju movie with Sentient Superhumans?

[@pulgasari8984]

Pulgasari is pretty cool.

[@geeshep4836]

Hey You Forgot To Add Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman And Jaws.

[@ferbusgddc]

50 Foot Woman is an entry inspired and a response to the success of The Amazing Colossal Man. While 50 ft Woman is more well known, we put Colossal Man in the list since it was one of the first "big person rampage" type of movies that were successful in this time period

[@DawnGDDC]

Jaws isn’t a kaiju film and colossal man predates attack of the 50 foot woman by one year

[@ssj4jason737]

Jaws is more of a Creature Feature than a Kaiju film

[@CurtisSmith-hr5mo]

Giant movie monsters history My four favorite The lost world Godzilla 1954 Gorgo 1961 And jurassic park Dinosaurs are giant monsters But there animals

[@captaindemobeard9560]

Shout out to cloverfield.

[@rayhayes7701]

Kaiju

[@donhillsmanii5906]

You forgot “King Kong in Edo” the 1st Japanese “Giant Monster” film, lost to history because of WW2

[@SlapstickGenius23]

There were also two unofficial Japanese Tarzan movies which were pretty much gone by WW2. That’s not to mention of them being super forgettable movies.

[@DanBedBy11]

This is very 2011

[@ferbusgddc]

This is perhaps the greatest compliment we ever have gotten on a video 🥲
