Fun fact about shin godzilla being fully cgi, the reason why he felt like a human in a suit was due to him actually being motion captured with an actual actor doing his movements. With the actor fully putting on a godzilla mask to fully get into character!

It's always funny to me that younger fans don't like the Showa era as much. That's what I grew up on, and the goofiness and campiness are part of the charm. Showa is the best era for me.

It's better than Heisei... that's for damn sure.

[@AthEE_One]

​@@jahimjauh-hey5653 Agree to disagree then. All good Showa films are better than all Heisei films (except 1984). But, all Heisei films are better than the sum of Showa films.

[@megatron1384]

Us older fans only had access to what came on tv, and what we could find in a local rental store or buy at a mall (never forget Suncoast video). And most of the heisei era wasn’t even available outside of grey market bootlegs until the 1998 or 1999. I was a teenager by then. And even at the time, those VHS releases were not widespread. Younger generations have had a much easier access to all of the movies. And, with the Internet, it is not just Godzilla movies they have easier access to, but all of film history. Gone are the days of watching whatever was on TV and accepting it and learning to see things you might not otherwise have seen on your own

Loved it dude! I enjoyed your perspective on the costume/design of the monster in each film, such a rich history for the character of Godzilla. Also appreciated that u didn't relegate Emmerich's film to F, I thought it was a more playful take on the monster (the film was definitely more lighthearted than many GZ films), even though the plot was rather generic.

Godzilla fans aren't ready to hear this but the american godzilla 2014-2024 is by far one of the best godzillas. It feels like legendary atleast take the character seriously and put their own spin on the character while still keeping a lot of his iconic traits

[@synister5503]

I agree but I think I prefer his look in 14, 19 and 21 the most. I don’t really think his skinny look in 24 looks good at all

[@BBPapercraftII]

​@@synister5503 the skinnier body mold is only temporary because of how fast he evolved

[@R4GEplayers]

Its really the human plots that drag the movies down. I didnt mind the human plot in 2014 because it was essentially just following one human caught in all that mess, but the other human plots just get so ridiculous imo. The kaiju are always handled with immense care, and that definitely shows.

[@marcbraun5342]

I'm glad that Shin Godzilla gets some love here. This is truly the most terrifying version of the character, especially the implication of what could have been if he couldn't be stopped. Having seen Minus One, it's S-tier. I can't decide which one I like more, Shin or Minus One, but it doesn't matter at the end, since their completely different and for a different mood, they complement each other well.

[@aruce9]

Minus one edges out shin just a tad. They are both the best Godzilla movies ever made. It’s a 9/10 vs a 10/10

[@marcbraun5342]

@@aruce9 Right now it can feel that way, certainly not a whole tenth difference, just slightly higher. Minus One is very fresh right now, I would wait a bit. I think Shin has a bit more layers to it, it's also a very sad movie, just not that on the nose, the implications are creepy as hell, it's thought-provoking ect., the NGE is certainly strong in this one. So my current verdict would be my head says Shin's better and my heart says Minus One is better.

[@scottwhitford5537]

Agreed, there’s something about Godzilla being able to self-evolve that is truly terrifying… not to mention those creatures that were growing out of his tail at the end… them things would be the gruesome end of the human race!

[@scolioreset]

Having not grown up with Godzilla and still considering the 1998 film to be quite the misfire (see what I did there), I did go out and watched Minus One. It certainly did open me up to the “legend” and I’m sure it’s gonna be the same for most. I’ve nothing but respect and admiration for the film considering the quality of filmmaking, scripting and special effects for such a tight budget and being given enough time to accomplish what it needs to do.

[@bhargavipba]

The 1998 one was a disgrace and I just pretend it didn't happen.

[@InfernalHart]

You sir are a treasure to watch. I can't believe its taken me this long to discover your content. At the party of Minus Ones ranking I completely agree with the quote from the director. International Godzilla is powerful, but because we (America and possibly other big heavy hitters) let our arrogance display that he's just a big powerful lizard we could theoretically defeat. A Japanese Godzilla is something out of your worst nightmares, near impossible to defeat or subdue. The tones are definitely different

[@v2actingsus]

Honestly, I agree with this tierlist. I’ve seen Minus one and it was really go(i cried)od! I think it would be an S tier or higher in your tierlist (if there is another video I haven’t seen it yet).

[@flipflop3953]

12:11 Godzillas drop kick is iconic 😤

[@EternalRoman]

You need a big correction regarding the 98 Godzilla, although the movie version of the character was indeed christened by Toho as Zilla, the animated version Son of the movie monster was given the well deserved Title of GODZILLA. Toho publicly stated this, stating that the monster in Godzilla The Animated Series cartoon had all of the powers of the Original Japanese Godzilla, and earned the title to be called Godzilla and not Zilla as his movie parent. Unlike the film, the animated monster had Atomic Breath, which was green, and his Dorsal Plates would Flash Blue. Godzilla though could get hurt, he was resistant to artillery and his wounds would heal. He didn't run away, and would fight many Kaiju himself. The tone of the series was a combination of Showa and Heisei, to the point that the Monsters were real threats to humans and there were even Aliens in a story ark. Though the episodes were the whole "Monster of the Week" thing on the stories, each was serious with a hint of fun and adventure, but it also had a lot of serious emotions and danger like in the Heisei Era. The cartoon monster was also a tragic character, because though it was the last son of Zilla (whom Godzilla fights and kills again as Zilla is resurrected as a cyborg by the aliens) he was sterile, yet in an episode there was a Kaiju that was in fact the base creature of Godzilla's mutated from, clearly stated Komodo Dragon, NOT just some Lizard (a misunderstanding by the audience of the movie) because even the character of Nick mentioned on the movie that Zilla was a HYBRID mutation. This female Komodo Dragon Kaiju had laid one egg, Godzilla sensed her tracks the Kaiju and the two became a couple. The story ends in tragedy as both the egg and the kaiju die at the end by another Kaiju resembling Gamera, giving more depth to the tragedy of Godzilla. As such, you shouldn't have lumped the Movie Zilla version and the Sequel Godzilla Animated series version together because they clearly differed so much from one another. Godzilla The Animated series at the very least should had gotten a B+ in your list, especially since even original Godzilla fans and even Japanese Fans love and accept the Animated series as GODZILLA, and not Zilla.

[@michaelplog363]

Great Video. I've got similar viewpoints throughout, though I've never been as intrigued about the "Shin" installment. I'm not too keen on a Modified version.I am however a big fan of the Legendary installments. Godzilla, with a clear goal in the movie is one that keeps you hooked. Too-much storyline with humans(or Aliens) will always dull-it.

[@_Vaal_Hazak_]

Personally, I'd put Heisei Goji in S tier. To me VS Destroyah is 2nd only to Shin, and VS King Ghidorah and VS MechaGodzilla II are also in my top 10. The design is peak, and the film series has something for everyone. It starts on a serious note, then gets goofy (but does a much better job than Showa) and ends serious once again. The highs are very high, and the lows (being VS Mothra and VS SpaceGodzilla) while mid still have good ideas present

[@_Vaal_Hazak_]

*Destoroyah I've been a fan for so long, how did I just today find out there's a 2nd O?

[@Sir720x2]

As someone who is just barely starting to get interested in godzilla, hearing about minus one then looking into shin, it surprised the HELL out of me that godzilla was a “hero”, in my mind he was always this horrific force of nature that destroys anything and everything in is path, killing thousands and ruining the lives of millions.

Godzilla destroyed my $1.4m condo and now I have to live in a regular neighborhood!!

[@TXCSymbiont]

Im gonna say it Zilla jr, legendary and gmk are my favorite godzillas and for me Zilla is a Godzilla

[@JakkFrost1]

51:43 one thing you forgot to mention is that the parent Godzilla (aka Godzilla Earth) from the Netflix series, is by far the largest incarnation of Godzilla ever, standing at 318 meters or 1043 feet, almost three times the size of Shin. And maybe I'm misremembering, but as I recall, Godzilla Earth didn't appear until the end of the second movie. The first movie, they fought offspring Godzilla and lost, then they regrouped in the second movie, came up with a new strategy, and defeated him, only for Earth to show up upon hearing his offspring's death.

[@Alpacapack1]

The tallest live action Godzilla is actually Legendary. In 2014 his canon height was 353 feet. But in KOTM, this was increased to 394 feet (I think) If I’m wrong on the updated height, Legendary is still taller than Shin but just barely

[@jamiewalsh0611]

*Me, a Millenium Stan* See's Zilla going into the same bracket as Heisei *Suspicious Shrek Meme*

[@JakkFrost1]

42:27 one small point I'd argue, or at least interject here, I believe the implication was supposed to be that Godzilla could sense Ghidorah reviving, that's why he only attacked the two human facilities. My understanding was that Ghidorah's head was moved from the first facility to Hong Kong, and Godzilla followed it, with a detour to fight KING Kong. I also don't think it's any coincidence that the final battle destroyed Hong Kong, given the way Hollywood kowtows to China, and Hong Kong protesting for independence from China at the time. 'Godzilla vs Kong' could have subtly referred to Hong, not King.

[@r.is.c9402]

The 98’ spinoff cartoon was actually pretty fun I liked it as a kid

[@nemesisastraea6659]

I like that '98 Zilla has his own identity after that. His take in the cartoon was accepted better than the film and he holds his own in the comics. His design is one of my favorites as well, especially his dorsal spines. He's fast, agile and I'd say far better swimmer than Godzilla himself.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

No, She’s not a better swimmer, she’s a FASTER swimmer, time taken to complete does not always Reflect skill and strength

[@bhargavipba]

That design is very similar to the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. And that's why its not Godzilla and was so thoroughly panned by Toho

[@cloudbankleviathan]

98's Godzilla was my first introduction to the character, so I was stunned to learn how many people hated it. If anything I appreciate more traditional versions of the character more having started with an outlier.

One thing you got wrong is that Shin Godzilla is tallest on screen adaptation. They pushed legendary Godzilla’s height from 350 feet to 389-390 feet in king of the monsters and GvK. He reclaimed his biggest on screen Godzilla title

[@MorbiusProductions]

What did you think of Godzilla: Singular Point? I assume you didn't catch it when it released on Netflix but whilst convoluted in plot at times it's definitely another essential watch for any fan of Goji! Otherwise stellar video!

[@theTarnished46]

Monsterverse Godzilla is still the tallest live action version at a roughly 400 ft

[@EternalRoman]

Careful, this guy though not making good notes on the different Godzilla (Missing Singular Point and mistakenly lumping 98 Godzilla movie with the Animated sequel ignorantly), thinks that because you use Foot or Feet as measurement, that somehow you speak "wrong".

@@mungerine He didn't seem sarcastic, and frankly, no brother, not all Westerners care for the Metric. I for starters based on my line of work, deal with minimal Metric since I have to measure in Millimeters and Milligrams. The use of Centimeters is when the tiny objects are a bit bigger. Then Inches, feet and so on, and frankly I'm good with it because of the speed required. I respect those that use Metric and as such I don't have to diss anyone because they use it.

I have said it before but I will say it again: Godzilla '98 in itself is a pretty cool monster design, it's just bogged down by the production and the lack of passion from Emmerich. I think the following animated series redeemed it by being more faithful to the monster-fighting spirit of the Toho movies.
