Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: GODZILLA AND MOTHRA: THE BATTLE FOR EARTH

[@TheBrandonTenold]

"Godzilla And Mothra: The Battle For Earth" may be the most successful Heisei Godzilla film, but is it your favorite?

[@nicostud916]

Yes, yes it is (for the Heisei era since Godzilla Final Wars is my number 1)

[@AbsoluteZero-m1f]

No, but it's my second favorite Heisei movie.

[@Purple_Austin]

No I think vs mechagodzill 2 is better

[@Nerom99]

Nah, but it's better than Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla II and SpaceGodzilla.

[@ech78928]

No. Not even close.

Mothra and Baragon deserve to be made into plushy toys

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Battra isn't really an "evil" version of Mothra. He's basically Mothra's BROTHER, but they are also Yin and Yang to each other. Both have the goal of protecting Planet Earth, but Battra feels that humanity needs to be wiped out in order for Earth to survive. Mothra, however, vehemently believes humans deserve the exact same rights to life as all the rest of Earth's species, even if they do often have destructive tendencies, and this is why Mothra and Battra clash with each other. Mothra: Please brother! Don't force me to kill you! Battra: You fight to protect those who don't deserve protection, Mothra! That's why I am stronger than you!

[@mwizachihana9551]

My biggest problem with this movie is that, it doesn't know what movie it wants to be. Is it Mothra, Godzilla vs Mothra, Godzilla vs The Giga-Moth, or maybe Mothra vs The Giga-Moth? Godzilla vs Mothra is a movie that never coalesces into a single film, but is one that keeps changing what movie it is every 5 min. It's basically a Mothra trilogy in vignette form co-staring Godzilla, who really didn't need to be in this movie at all. Which is a shame because it has the second or third best effects in the Heisei era

[@kangtheguardian1214]

I've always considered this movie to be kind of an unofficial Rebirth of Mothra 0. The model they used for Mothra here is the same one they used for the Mother Mothra in RoM1, so I always figured they were one and the same creature. And imagining this as RoM0 makes sense. Mothra and Battra team up to defeat Godzilla at the cost of Battra's life, Mothra seals Godzilla away forever with that giant glyph at the end, and then she goes on to years later lay an egg before RoM1 happens. The next Godzilla movie, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, doesn't explain how Godzilla escaped from the seal at all, so it's like it takes place in an alternate timeline where the sealing process never happened.

Fun fact, the original draft for this was Mothra vs Bagan, before it was reworked to Mothra vs Gigamoth and finally Godzilla vs Mothra. In fact Godzilla is the third wheel in this because Battra took the role of the primary antagonist Bagan/Gigamoth, and they stuck Godzilla in pretty much for name branding.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

Mothra vs bagan was it's own thing. This was started as godzilla vs gigamoth and gigamoth was replaced by mothra but simultaneously reworked into battra. Godzilla was always intended to be in the film. The film just gives godzilla such little motivation that he feels like a third wheel in what is basically a rivalry between mothra and battra

Well, I mean, for ME it hardly gets more Christmas than dusting off some old Godzilla movies and giving them a watch...

[@brycevo]

Thank you for our Christmas present. This is great

We need "Godzilla vs The Predator", the Yautja would see him as an incredible prey to hunt.

[@patmurph7769]

Remember in the predator 2018 the predator had human DNA to become superior so if a predator got g cells what would it become?

Dark Horse Comics basically did that.

I’m glade that you reviewed this movie for the holidays, Godzilla and Mothra: Battle for Earth is one of my favorite Heisei films though there are some problems but it’s a good movie. Lol the fake out endings and that part in 9:47 goodbye Godzilla’s soft spot XD.

[@scado5679]

Invasion Of Astro-Monster should explain why. You know what scene I'm talking about.

Thank you Santa Christ, a new Brandon Tenold review on Godzilla. And right after his guest spot on a Monster Island Buddies video.

[@comradefreedom8275]

Gundam happens to be my favorite franchise, so I'm so happy you mentioned it here.

[@anythingbagel6948]

How funny it is was currently binge watching your Godzilla reviews lmao

[@alecperdeau650]

Oh my God I got so pissed with Mothra in this movie when Iwas a kid. She pretty much sacrificed her brother to take out Godzilla with no remorse. Vindictive is an understatement

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

To be fair, Battra’s eye lights had gone out, so he was already dead when she dropped him and Godzilla. Then again, she may have positioned him by Godzilla’s mouth on purpose.
