[@thebosstex1172]

His final form actually would have been the eighth form where he would have become Azathoth. Someone said that concept idea for Shin Godzilla actually has been debunked, but I don’t know. Personally, if he can evolve beyond fourth form or fifth form, then it feels like he is too powerful to even be Godzilla. I know Godzilla is an evolved or evolving creature, but this what they did with Godzilla in this movie just feels way too far out of character

I’ll explain the final shot In the end, Godzilla realised that the only thing that could beat him was humans, so he evolved to become like them, that’s why his tail has human on it and his dorsal fin is made of bone. Also technically if he kept evolving he would become the universe and be a literal god.

It's not that the Monsterverse movies had a weak Godzilla, it's that Hideaki Anno turned this Godzilla into a fucking nightmare, definitely befitting the 1954 original.

If I remember correctly, he even put Evangelion's ending theme in the credits for Shin Godzilla.

[@Pridam]

Godzilla himself is a victim of the nuclear energy that transformed him. He is in constant pain, he doesn't know why he even exists, he just wants his pain to stop, but it won't stop because he keeps evolving from whatever is effecting him besides the pain. Godzilla's pain will always remain. The last shot of Godzilla in the movie? Yeah he was in the middle of creating his own mini-Godzilla army. Since he evolves according to the attacks that he receives, if Godzilla is going to be attacked by an army, then he will respond by evolving an army to fight back. The reason Godzilla was able to also fire his atomic breath from his tail was because he had grown a second head on his tail That is the theme of Godzilla in this movie. Just as people were victims of his nuclear radiation, he is also a victim of it. The song and music that plays when Godzilla first used his atomic breath? The song is centered around him and how he feels, definitely should look into the translation

[@AbsoluteMennace]

Odds are you've had it all explained by now, on patreon or twitter or w/e. I'll still try to explain the final shot, just in case. All Godzilla movies are built on metaphors, where Godzilla himself is a stand-in for the man made horror of nuclear annihilation. Many of the older films pit him against other metaphoric monsters, such as pollution, cultural decay, runaway technological advancement, and various other things. Every time a lesser monster faces off against Godzilla, the nuclear metaphor kills the shit out of it. Nuclear annihilation is the most dangerous thing humans can potentially do, Godzilla will never lose. That being said since Godzilla is a walking metaphor, he is literally made of the results of nuclear disaster, you see the corpses, that's the final shot. He is made of death. On a related note, one of the things that Shin is employing in it's metaphor this time is how bureaucracy is Godzilla's new enemy. A bunch of people making slow decisions, spending civilian lives to prevent public humiliation, and allowing a problem to escalate out of control, has already happened to Japan. Namely the Fukushima nuclear disaster which took place in 2011 which is the basis for this movie.

[@Fang1st]

Huh, and here I thought it was the next phase of his evolution. Given he is made by the destruction of man, what a fitting final form than that of the most dangerous creature on planet earth; man.

[@cloaker609]

@@Fang1st maybe its both In the movie he was trying to reach his next stage of evolution But in the writing its a metaphor for death

[@cloaker609]

Its all up to interpretation anyway

[@michaelccozens]

@@cloaker609 Eh, that's a cop-out. Yeah, it's sorta true, but some interpretations stand-up much better to analysis. It's the "can anyone *really* know anything, maaaan?" of art, and the answer is, "Yes, yes they can. But it takes work". I don't mean to discourage speculation, but part of speculation is being open to the fact that a lot of the ideas you'll float will be crap. Learning from that is how you get to the better concepts.

[@michaelccozens]

That's really not what happened at Fukushima. It was a greater example of hubris and deliberate negligence than Chernobyl (for example, at least people were punished for Chernobyl. Nobody suffered any punishment for Fukushima, nor will they), carried-out 25 years later by supposedly one of the best nuclear industries in the world. And they want more free rein, as apparently the massive backdoor public subsidy of arbitrary legislated liability caps isn't enough. The entire nuke industry is a free-for-all of corruption and the model of "socialized costs, privatized profits", AKA "theft". I've heard the "criticism of bureaucracy" theory before, but I don't see that it follows. Yes, there's lot of careful consideration. No, I can't see that a single moment of it is unnecessary. Welcome to democracy. And, frankly, it's hard to see where faster action would have helped, rather than hurt. It's always easy to say "we have to do *something*"; it's harder to realize that, in plenty of situations, doing the wrong thing will only make everything much, much worse (example; uselessly attempting to fight the fires at Chernobyl with water refilled the bubbler tanks and almost caused its own nuclear catastrophe). Frankly, what actually impeded progress both at Fukushima and in this film was a *lack* of bureaucracy. An expanded bureaucracy would have created and tested action plans for such potential disasters (not a literal monster attack, but an equivalent natural disaster, like "a tsunami where there's been tsunamis since the beginning of recorded time"), action plans which could have been prepped and executed when needed, instead of everything collapsing because nobody knew what the fuck they were supposed to be doing. That's what sets experts apart from amateurs; experts have a protocol for *everything*, and they drill those protocols until they're muscle memory. Or, to put it more simply, amateurs hope, and experts work.

[@Panik637]

I was soooooo excited when Godzilla started to light up for his atomic breath, then just sat in silence and horror for the entirety of the following scene. I love Godzilla as a monster, but a few Godzilla movies let you forget what Godzilla is all about… Shin Godzilla absolutely does not

[@domino5525]

I assume the beam is like him venting heat out reasonably why it started as fire

[@JMotion]

What I love about this movie's take on Godzilla is that it has so much more to say than just "look how cool the big lizard is". It's a very realistic story about a collective people fumbling through bureaucracy and red tape to try and take down an unimaginably large threat that it doesn't remotely begin to understand. Japanese culture often favours the collective people over the individual person, and this movie demonstrates how that societal machine is fundamentally broken, resulting in a lot of unnecessary deaths. Something often lost on a first viewing is that Godzilla mutates in order to overcome an obstacle in its way. When gravity has it ploughing through buildings unable to see where it's going, it mutates itself to stand upright on land. When it's body's radiation becomes too hot to survive without water to stay cool, and the endless barrage of missiles continue to damage it's body, it covers itself with scab-like crust that protects it from damage while also dissipating the heat it generates. At one point it's face get's blown up by missiles, so later it creates organic shielding for it's eyes that protect them from the heat of the missiles, also allowing it to use its atomic breath. The ending of the movie shows us that the collective human race was capable of successfully stopping Godzilla. And so, as with every other threat, Godzilla begins evolving to protect itself from this threat. And thus, new creatures begin spawning from Godzilla's tail, taking the form of that which it understands to be superior, humans.

[@estuardoramirezl]

As it is, that's what this movie is, personally I like it more than the latest Hollywood blockbuster adaptations.

[@michaelccozens]

In my opinion,the design of Shin Godzilla is the best out of all Godzilla designs. And I say that as someone who has been a lifelong Godzilla fan since I was a little kid. The skin looking like cooled molten rock interspersed with cancerous red growths, combined with the snaggletooth grin, beady eyes, and clutching hand grip position all just oozes menace. And then you factor in what it’s capable of. From the atomic breath to being a living nuclear reactor and its uncanny ability to evolve and adapt so rapidly.

[@Churros_are_Overrated]

The design doesn’t fit with what most of the modern Godzilla designs but I think they decided to go all out on the horror aspect so nobody can relate to him. People are too used to Godzilla being a good guy so they couldn’t have this film with a normal looking Godzilla because even if he acted the same people wouldn’t get the message, so they went with this and I think it works perfectly

Shin Godzilla is definitely one of the best movies out there for TOHO, considering that it takes on the concept of what if Godzilla was real… And they performed beautifully. In real life people would have to go down the chain of command go through red tape political BS, the works. All in all this is literally how most governments work. In the old movies they barely have to go through all this red tape especially in both the TOHO and Monsterverse movies. You definitely need to see the older Godzilla movies the ones with and without Godzilla to get the full lore of him including the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla If you've seen the behind the scenes of this movie it'll tell you that Godzilla was originally supposed to have more forms but they cut it out because they didn't have the budget nor time to make all of that. As I mentioned about the other forms those little humanoid Godzilla's were supposed to be the next one but they were able to stop it before they became an entire army invading Japan or the world with miniature atomic breath's

Then Shin does a somewhat mid concept of if Godzilla was real, because a single radioactive source doesnt turn a fish-like reptillian creature into a giant monster that constantly evolves until it destroys the universe or what not. The political side is more realistic, yes, but Godzilla himself defies everything and feels more like an angel from evangelion rather than anything else imo. yeah, its godzilla, but atleast godzilla follows some sort of logic, and doesnt defy all logic.

[@soybajo-kira8585]

This Godzilla scares the hell out of me. And this movie is also the most realistic Godzilla movie given the governments reaction

[@BMAN-eb4jk]

Believe it or not, the only reason shin Godzilla does his atomic breath is because he was attacked with stealth bombers. Throughout the move we seen that he is evolving so that one thing that could kill him before can’t kill him the next time around. For example in his second form, he was having trouble breathing on land and could die from blood loss. So he evolved into something that could take on that and could be on land then he begins overheating and realize he has to get back to the water. When he shows back up in his fourth form, he now can self cool. When he was getting attacked by the bombers, he realized it could have killed him so he evolved the atomic breath as a defense. He was able to use that nuclear energy inside him and fire it all out. That’s how he could fire the photon beans from his back and tail.

[@カイド-r3c]

In English translation, the Self-Defense Forces and the government call it "Godzilla", but in Japanese it is called "Giant Unknown Creature" or "Target".

[@spacewarrior877]

While I do think this is a fine introduction to Godzilla, this is such a drastic take on the character. If you wanna explore Godzilla more and see what he truly represents I can't reccomend the original 1954 film enough.

This version of Godzilla really doubled down on the Eldritch Horror design. The music change when it opened its mouth for that deviating show of power was beautiful, and haunting.

[@SDesWriter]

The ending was going to be his 5th form. He was going to evolve into smaller creatures that was a whole mini Godzilla army. It would have been devastating for humanity but they stopped him in time. There's lots of interesting stuff out there about the plans they had and what they cut. Some was for time or cost and other things were cut because they were just too creepy. They really did a nice job of making this a more terrifying Godzilla. I liked the human drama more than usual as well. I thought it was one of the best giant monster movies I've ever seen. And no, he never could shoot a laser, shoot anything out of his spines, or anything out of his tail. That was all just for this movie.

[@thelionheart1179]

Don’t know if anyones already mentioned this but this is also the only form of Godzilla in constant agony just from existing, in the beautiful piece played during the atomic breathe scene is from Godzilla’s POV showing a mind that wants to die and a body that refuses to

Since there was originally a lot of talk in the comments on the first upload about the connections between Godzilla and the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I wanted to recommend the animated film Barefoot Gen.

[@ThePolishValsion]

Funimation's English is actually not bad at all. Also, the music in this movie is just superb, especially the two vocals tracks that play when Godzilla first comes ashore and later during the first atomic breath. If one listens carefully, the lyrics are actually in English and the first song is about perspective of humans fighting a literal god and the second is from Godzilla's perspective and his desperate attempts at surviving. Also if the music during briefings sounds familiar, it's because it originally comes from Neon Genesis Evangellion and the music for it was composed by the same guy. 10:07 - originally it was supposed to be called "Godzilla: Resurgence" in versions outside of Japan, but they ultimately stayed with "Shin" because it has a few meanings: "New Godzilla", "Pure Godzilla", "True Godzilla", or "God Godzilla". 16:15 - the reason it keep looking dead forward is because this Godzilla has no freakin' eyelids. It can't even blink. 26:10 - that final shot shows that Godzilla was in the middle of spawning Humanoid Abomination versions of itself. THAT would be his final form.

[@DaBlueAxolotl1]

Japan: Nice job USA! USA: Yep we have experience Japan: ‘Flashbacks intensify’

[@MIZZKIE]

They don't just start blasting away at Godzilla immediately because (besides the huuuuge numbers of civilians that need to be evacuated from the biggest city on Earth) you have to remember that Japan took an oath after WW2 that they will never go to war again. The use of weaponry is HEAVILY restricted even if they have a Self Defence Force. But even with that aside, the government being so slow with decisions is realistic because Japanese people in general are so concerned about rules, regulations, and red tapes etc. This aspect was depicted realistically in the movie on purpose because the director Anno Hideaki wanted to mock this ridiculous part of the Japanese government system which caused more people to suffer in the 2011 earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster that followed (which this movie is an allegory of). Yaguchi's team is Anno conveying that he has hope, and that he wants Japanese people to see hope as well that Japan's newer generations would overcome these silly rules and strive for better accomplishment.

[@jamesbrice6619]

Different Godzillas have appeared throughout all these years. Some are heroes who protect the world from other monsters. Others are anti heroes who save the day for their own reasons. There are also Godzillas who are really evil and intentionally attack cities. Even some who start out as villains but over time become heroes. In the case of Shin Godzilla he is a victim of the circumstances, he did not seek to harm anyone and had no idea what the radiation from his body did to people nor did he realize that when passing through the city he destroyed things. besides that his mutation keeps him in constant suffering. He only defended himself against attackers he was not an evil Godzilla just that he was too dangerous for people to continue living.

[@mycroft16]

I too love seeing the whole thing from a governmental response perspective. How the hell are you supposed to react as a government to something like this. You have to avoid civilian casualties, you have to try and keep your city intact as much as possible to avoid the insane cost to rebuild and killing your economy... there are a ton of questions. What is it, what is it doing, why, can we lure it away some way safely? Can it be killed, what will that do? Etc. So it's interesting to see that play out from the civil side and even the military side, and scientists constantly trying to piece together ever scrap of new info. The blood is because that evolution of Shin Godzilla can't really breath air yet. So as it moves on land and tries to breathe it is dying. Those are gills. It's breathing blood out. Hot, slightly acidic blood (deleted scene showing cars melting into it). Then it goes back to the sea, evolves to be able to breathe air and returns to land. While previous incarnations of Godzilla dealt a lot with the terror we unleashed with nuclear power, this one includes that but also adds the sense of a virus evolving. A version exists, evolves to deal with the environment it found, tries again, gets rebuffed, evolves further to deal specifically with its environment, etc. Repeatedly. That's a viral outbreak in a nutshell. Something Asia has to deal with far more frequently than the rest of the world. Especially in the last decade or two.

fun fact you have to destroy ever cell in his body to kill him so in the end of the movie hes not dead simply a forced hybridisation also you cut him into 2 or more peices and all of them will grow its own body and it remembers their body amour strengths and abilities and evolves to perfectly outmatch it it also it improves other bits like its reactor its energy consumption and other things

I understand that laughing at the dub the ENTIRE movie or during any scene that contains human suffering (tf??) may be funny to you and many others , but its not worthy of dedicating an entire KZbin channel to imo if you actually cared about what you were doing above a monetary level. i mean you haven't interacted with a single comment on this entire video despite asking for insight in the comments. idk man I think myself and many others would have appreciated a disclaimer at the beginning of the video that says that you don't actually care about the film and that you just wanna mess around, there is absolutely an audience that would stay for that, but there's other who just want to see actual analysis.

One I'd highly recommend is his forest gump reaction cause if he really "didn't care" for what he watches than I guess him literally crying during the movie isn't enough for you. Also "I think myself and many others" no, it's literally just you who has this opinion, And another thing, yourself and others commenting doesn't give you a definite chance of him responding, he doesn't have to respond to any of these comments, you cant force people to do something. It's his reaction, and everyone such as himself perceives movies in different ways, just because his reaction wasn't up to your standards (Boo Hoo gonna cry) doesn't give you the right to attack the dude for the way he watches movies. Not to mention this is a reaction channel, not a review channel, so if you want an indepth analysis and review on a movie than go piss off

Humans : freeze shin Shin : *evolves into destroyah*

True

[@FirithPanda]

Was looking up Godzilla stuff and this got recommended to me. Shin Godzilla is completely different from any Godzilla that has come before it or after in a sense that it rapidly evolved and adapted the same way creatures did from the ocean. There were further evolutions in conception beyond form 5 (Humanoid) to the point where Anno planned that it'd essentially become an omnipresent extra-dimensional force as well as a hivemind for the universe itself. That's why his scales outright harden to withstand explosives aside from the bunker buster (you can see his eyelid close on reflex even) and he finds ways to become offensive and defensive at the same time 'Shin' in this movie's title isn't exactly a thing to worry about. Just means "new". As for the dub itself, it's not bad but I would recommend giving it a listen in the original language with the subtitles attached. Not everyone's thing but I feel it's just better acted than a script reading.

Fun fact, the music in this movie, especially the theme for the atomic breath, is written and composed by Shiro Sagisu. As far as most are concerned, the man is a legendary Anime composer, he did Shaman King, Evangelion and Bleach. Whenever theres a Shiro piece, its instantly recognisable as one of his own.

[@rosso757510]

Before Godzilla is released to the public, the topic is always "where will it be destroyed?" And I am overjoyed when my office or the city I live in is destroyed in the movie. "Godzilla destroyed my house!"😂😂😂

[@Kevin_the_Chef]

No, Godzilla doesn't normally evolve. Shin Godzilla is quite a unique movie.

[@godzillarwby1755]

19:30 And so theaters around the world saw Tokyo being consumed by a sea of fire that hasn't been seen since 1954.

[@chiprahn]

As to why they redubbed all the English dialogue, it's because the original delivery of those lines was REALLY bad. Like original Resident Evil 1 line delivery. Somehow this comical dub actually manages to make all the American characters sound more believable.

[@Valincio]

In this movie Godzilla's blood acts as a cooling system for it's atomic heart. The bunker busters got rid of too much blood, it had to release heat.

[@jneumy566]

13:28 this is the music from the original 1954 movie, or at least it's the original theme. You've heard it before because it was redone and playing in King of the Monsters after Serizawa sacrifices himself and Godzilla rises out of the water

[@nicholireyes5533]

"thats the wrong car wash" the understatement of the century

[@TheTsalop]

One of the most interesting throwbacks to the original Godzilla is the song that plays during the train bombs... In that movie more upbeat version played when the Japanese defence forces foolishly charged to their death thinking they could beat Godzilla, here more somber variation is used when the Japanese defence forces launch their last effort attack to beat Godzilla.

[@TheKiddo017]

if you have time, there is a lot of cut content or concept art from this film online. there is a deleted scene where godzilla still alive in the end. also there is a concept of fifth stage of godzilla evolution where the monster became more humoniod in appearance e.g more human-like face structure. also one of the concept is there is no limit to the evolution that in the end godzilla destroy everything and became the universe itself.

[@dkcronics6669]

After Godzilla was frozen by blood coagulant, small humanoid creatures with Godzilla's teeth and dorsal plates, Godzilla's fifth form, could be seen fissioning from Godzilla's tail, suggesting that he was in the process of evolving into an army of human-like forms capable of combating humanity

Shin is my favorite Goji movie. It's one of, if not the best of them all! (imho) This movie is such a unique take on the giant. Created by humanity's poor nuclear waste management, he does not only act like a walking nuclear disaster he also looks like cancer on steroids! The slow and incompetent looking reaktion of the government reminds us of the mishandling of the Fukushima disaster. Some of the destruction scenes are almost one to one copies of what happened during that time. It's not just a boring Kaiju aktion flick, like the later Toho Goji movies (looking at you, Final Wars...) It's a shame, that some of the ideas were rejected by Toho... Would have LOVED to see the beginning of Shin splitting in two, or the detached plates sprouting eyes and teeth... Pure HORROR! Just like any cancher diagnoses would be...

[@rue...whenwasthis]

some of the concept art for Shin Godzilla's final form is so fucking beautiful man like i can't even describe it, like Godzilla was going to become a literal GOD with divine humanoids growing out of its body, like "I have come to purge the world of the humans" but that had to be cut and changed because the studio thought people wouldn't like it if Godzilla became more humanoid. So instead we have Shin Godzilla's nightmare form that I absolutely love and adore.

[@musicaladventure5]

Shin Godzilla real said "Hey, let's make Godzilla, but lets make him an Eldritch horror."

[@waddleds665]

For the record, the poor thing was in constant pain through the whole movie because of many reasons, like constant blood loss and intense burning feeling inside

[@roryedward2631]

Scary that Shin Godzillas "final" form would be to evolve to the point of actually becoming everything, encompassing all creation and becoming God...for real. Thats terrifying. I really wish they would decide to continue with this and make sequals :(

[@pol_ia]

Monsterverse godzilla is not weak, actually he can win in a battle with shin Godzilla. Maybe Shin Godzilla has the advantage of Power, regeneration and evolution. But legendary/monsterverse Godzilla takes strength, speed, resistance, agility, experience and EVERYTHING else

[@myfriendisaac]

19:30 That was THE best shot in the film! This is my favorite Godzilla adaptation 😈🔥🦖

[@mulder1338]

Shin means new in Japanese,basically its a new age of godzilla,I'm guessing.

[@assaulthetz380]

The fact that Shin in Godzilla form is not probably its last form if it wasn't stopped.

[@livealittle1100]

Yeah. The tail at the ending were his 5th form. Overall Shin Godzilla has 8th form.

[@Frxkz1]

Its called shin godzilla because this godzilla got train bombed at the shin

[@DanielWatches]

THIS is my favorite Godzilla movie. It's realistic and keeps true to the original. The moment Shin Godzilla did it's Atomic Breath sent chills down my spine, it was sooo good.

[@inkoalawetrust]

It's amazing how the dub brings the best Godzilla movie short of the 1954 original from a 9/10 to a 2/10.

[@andrewvongsamphanh3175]

If you don’t understand the ending, the final shot is Godzilla’s 5th form. He keeps evolving because, he is going to take over the universe making him a god

In terms of how I personally see the two itterations of Godzilla, Shin is more of a ranged attack species, while Monsterverse's seems to be more of a melee range

[@treanmunt1420]

In the Atomic breath theme(who will know) Theres 2 voices representing godzilla. The high pitch voice just wants the pain to stop And the lower pitch voice thinks that by fighting and causing destruction theres a slight chance that the pain could stop

[@ka26199913]

Lol I didn’t expect the dub to sound that bad😂 definitely recommend try watching in the original

The theoretical true final form of Shin Godzilla would be as big as the universe, and him literally being a God.

[@LanndynCarnateBowling]

When Godzilla minus one is released or able to be streamed you need to do a reaction to it…. I know you will love that movie.

[@oAPXo]

Its fitting for most of the movie that there is so much names/political emphasis because its a take/critique of the 2011 tsunami/Fukushima nuclear disaster, it took them so long to establish a plan that it caused more problems than anything else. Example, in the beginning we see the party dismiss the current meeting to set up another meeting in another room.

[@xBurningxWrathx]

As most people in the comments says Shin Godzilla is more like an abomination than that of nature. Granted I believe the old toho Godzilla films portray Godzilla being born from humanities use of nuclear radiation. That’s what the whole theme of Godzilla at the time, the dangerous use and negative effects of nuclear radiation. For Shin, it was taking that concept and making it into a nightmare. Because not only is it ugly looking to be in a nightmare but it’s attacks, it’s constant evolution is just nightmare fuel. I saw a vid about what would happen if Shin Godzilla was able to evolve to its mini Godzilla form and what would it’s next evolution would be for every minis because at that point it would be a hive mind species of constant evolution. The vid ends it with a comparison to the Flood from the Halo franchise. Regular Godzilla depends on what version you get. Monsterverse(Legendary) Godzilla takes on a more animal kingdom realism. Shin is bad cause if it’s negative impacts of its constant evolution, a Flood like Godzilla is literally death of the galaxy. Now if that vid was true cause it was just a theory of what would happen if Godzilla evolve past the mini godzillas but either way, Shin at this point is considered an invasive species for the entire planet.

[@RabTheEpic]

fun facts about this godzilla, it can regenerate extremely quick and can regen from any part of its body.So you would have to destroy every single cell in its body for it to die. Also it evolves to counter its enemy so i could do pretty much anything:)
