Godzilla and Mothra: King and Queen of the Kaiju | Monstrum

[@Chenso2099]

Mothra is definitely a standout. She’s one of my favorite kaiju in the series. She’s just so different from the rest of the monsters, being herald as a goddess of sorts. Unlike the rest, she’s more consciously aware of the world around her, wanting to protect it, which is simply awesome. Also, her design is just cute! Lol

[@andrewblack2596]

Interestingly, she's the only "good" monster. the rest are Villians of Anti-heroes at best.

[@TheInfintyithGoofball]

​@pbsstoried clearly. also my Dad was obsessed with everything Kaiju and Godzilla (and I do mean everything) he somehow found a 1970s American knockoff of Godzilla and for some reason watched it, it was terrible. (I was in the room while he had it on) it was an iguana from of the Galapagos Islands, I remember pretty much nothing else except that maybe it was caused by a heat wave? so from warnings about nuclear weapons to warning about climate change???????? I don't remember the connection being very clear and the movie was boring and strange... or maybe I just hate it for the arrogance of trying to out do Japan of their own creation that it represents.

[@Biochemitra]

Mothra's pretty significant in a lot of different ways, but for my money, I've always been a Megaguirus fangirl. She's the singular villain of her movie, but she defies all of our expectations for such: Instead of being huge and overwhelming Godzilla, she's half his size. Instead of having beam weapons out the wazoo, she has super speed and a vampiric drain. Instead of being super tough, she's just quick and intelligent enough to know how not to get hit, and how to land her own, far more devastating blows. And yet she's still strong enough to pick Godzilla up and carry him around! Plus, she has the most adorable smile~

What I really like is how Japan is really trying to bring Godzilla back to his roots with their recent projects ever since the States got another (successful) crack at him. *America:* "Godzilla and the kaiju are natural disasters. Forces of nature that symbolize Mother Earth getting back at us. By Godzilla is kind of like an anti-hero." *Japan:* "Godzilla is an eldritch horror being birthed from science. It is a villain that needs to be beaten with human ingenuity."

[@godzilla154]

The interesting thing about the way you pronounced Biollante, Gigan, and Rodan. You didn’t say it the English way, but the Japanese way strangely enough. In English it’s BIO-llante, Guy-Gan, Ro-Dan.

[@randallb84]

It also greatly depends on the translation, for example Rodan (row-dan) has been pronounced as Raydon (ray-don) in different English dubs of later movies. So the English names are varied. But she not only used but correctly pronounced Gojira, which is impressive as most people don't when they make a video like this. And yes the original English release of king of the monsters was pretty bad, find yourself a direct translation of the original. It's much better

Forgot about the 2016 Japanese's reboot? Shin Gojira bears the heavy metaphor like the original 1954 but based on the 2011 incident of the nuclear power plant "accident" in the earthquake.

I JUST LOVE MOTHRA SO FREAKIN' MUCH.

[@scaper8]

As a lifelong kaiju fan, very nice video. But I do have to say that I think you were a bit too hard on the 1956 American edit of _Gojira._ The editing that spliced Burr in is surprisingly good in much of the film, though, admittedly, very noticeable in some areas; and the antinuclear message, though watered down from the original, is still very harsh by the standard of almost any American monster movie of the time. All and all, it may be inferior to '54's _Gojira,_ but '56's _Godzilla, King of the Monsters!_ is a very good film in its own right and an excellent companion piece to the original.

[@scaper8]

@Aspiring Marauder I don't know, I think most fans have a pretty good opinion on '56 and it's only getting a better reputation as time goes by and the Legendary MonsterVerse is near universally loved. While "America bad" may have been the default position, I really don't think that's been the case for the last ten to fifteen years now, and that opinion is steadily losing ground.

This was a very touching love letter to kaiju. I loved learning about Mothra and I never considered her social implications before. It makes me look at the character and Godzilla movies in a new light now.

I think there is something so powerful about being able to look at texts in multiple ways: as entertainment, and as something more complex.

Sure, Mothra may be the Queen, but as far as female Kaiju go, I've always had a soft spot for Biollante. I love that they managed to make something as outlandish as a giant Rose/Human/Godzilla hybrid actually badass and tragic at the same time.

I love mothra so much mothra is so pretty and her roar is so CUTE!!

I would have to say that Godzilla is still my favorite, with Ghidorah as my second and Mothra and Rodan ties as third. Mad respect for making a vid on the best genre in cinema!

I have always admired Mothra. Love your pronunciation of the names.

There was a Kirby: Right Back At Ya episode on 4KidsTV a while ago that had the same storyline as the original Mothra story. I had no idea it had such important historical, social, and cultural context! And now the storyline of the episode makes soooo much sense! Thanks for another greatly enjoyable and informative episode!

I knew Dr.Zarka was great, but loving Mothra, makes her AWESOME.

Godzilla is my fav, mainly because He’s not the most powerful or the strongest kaiju, it’s because of his ability to persevere through any obstacle and not back down without a fight, he certainly earned his title as the one true king of the monsters
