Godzilla 2019 (TJ Storm) Meets Shin Gojira At The Official Godzilla Store - Anime Matsuri 2021

[@austinforgie1069]

Legendary Godzilla brought me to the fandom

[@tullimonstrum52]

Me too, KOTM was my first Godzilla movie (except 98)

[@DMan1954]

It's a wonderful way to get into the franchise!

Can you imagine being around TJ regularly? Life would be so much better cause that guy just radiates positivity at a high level like he’s always in Burning Godzilla mode. It’s so cool to see him react and to see the wheel turning in his head looking at the production photos and such because you can tell he’s just getting a feel for what it’s like to be in the suit, he’s so well-suited for that work. The cut-in to the Taco Bell spots were amazing, that part of the marketing for the movie was great and pre-social media internet didn’t ruin that til you watched it lol not that it was overly disappointing at that time anyways. And we got the animated series after that which was great.

[@DMan1954]

I know!!! He's such an energetic and exciting person to be around. My favorite part of hanging with him is how much he brings me up. He's also so kind and supportive. He hypes me up all the time and is always just the best. I feel the exact same way! It was a shame I couldn't work more footage of this into the Godzilla Store documentary because it's so awesome. That's why I had to release it here! Those ads will always be such a joy to watch!

I hope we get to see more of TJ Storm in future films. You can tell he's a Godzilla fan from heart and how he gets into character is done so well. I also hope we get to see the Ghidorah Brothers again whether Ghidorah somehow comes back or they play another kaiju. It's just awesome having real actors play out fictional giant monsters with such love for them. It kinda connects back how suits were used in the older movies yk?

[@DMan1954]

I completely agree! I feel their absence is truly felt within the fanbase. But I fear the studios will not use them again because its cheaper to not use mocap and actors to do mocap when you can keyframe it or have a VFX super visor do the mocap as part of his job already.

[@edcaldwell4326]

TJ Is such a little kid and I absolutely love it. I think I speak for many when I say I see myself in him when I'm just watching him genuinely geek out about Godzilla. What a true fan.

[@DMan1954]

Same here!!!

[@Gojirfan2004]

Seeing TJ Storm acting like a little kid and geeking out about Godzilla is funny and wholesome. TJ Storm is such a nice guy and I really hope someday he can return to mocap Godzilla again in a future MV film.

[@gojithriller6622]

6:58-7:03 I guess he’s not a big fan of Final Wars, or just Keizer Ghidorah 😂

[@DMan1954]

He's making a joke about Ghidorah because he had to fight Ghidorah in Kin of the Monsters.

[@austinforgie1069]

It was like "This guy!" 🙄😂

Would be awesome if TJ Storm met Hurricane Ryu

[@DMan1954]

Why is that?

[@coryames1170]

He only plays Godzilla in 2014 and KOTM right? He wasn't brought back for either Vs Kong or New Empire?

[@GSGNightCrawler]

He only played godzilla in king of the monsters. 2014 was all cgi

[@coryames1170]

@@GSGNightCrawler no I'm pretty sure he's credited with playing G in 2014 as well.

[@DMan1954]

@@GSGNightCrawler He played Godzilla in both Godzilla 2014 (which used lots of mocap) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (which used even more than 2014). lol
