Ranking Every GODZILLA Design

[@ObiClon]

So many years. So many suits. Each one iconic in their own way

[@kyle666man]

5:27 I knew I subbed for a reason!! ‘62 is my S-Tier #1 pick til the day I die. Menacing, jacked, and still somehow dopey. Perfection 👌🏻 And those claws!!

[@MLawrence-z9k]

& don't forget that gator mouth he's got ❤

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

Astro Monster really got the king looking like Cookie Monster 😭 Also Son of G looks… rough.

[@MLawrence-z9k]

That's my favorite suit don't ask why lolz but it's definitely not as corny as all the showa era suits after it

[@GSTE_]

The Godzilla design from Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla 1994 was the one used in most promotional art as well as being painted on the Toho studios wall. It's also the same suit as the Burning Godzilla except they added some modifications to the suit.

[@TSTHPS]

I was going to say this before I saw your comment

[@aron1626]

Lizard God🙏

[@UMIF001]

I would put KOTM Goji on Skreeonk tier, right behind the two Heisei designs Because that design is already iconic, It's the most well known Goji design nowadays. If you ask non Goji fan about Godzilla, they would think about that design

[@KingBanditt]

I think it’s probably like that because of how in most places basically all of the japanese movies are really hard to find. not disagreeing with the placement though 😉

[@Grimbear13]

Awesome video! KZbin for some reason didn't push your other Godzilla Kaiju tier list to me so I'm bout to go watch that one too. But yeah IMO the OG stands atop them all since it's the base, and off the cuff I'd also so some of my fave designs are GMK, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla (my favorite Godzilla movie), Minus One, Burning Godzilla and then either the RadoGoji or BatoGoji designs.

[@JayStephens8]

Also the Gigan goji that was the most used Godzilla suit it appeared in 5 Godzilla movies I wanna say, Gigan was its final appearance and in that one the suit was starting to fall apart so it looked a little messy but I didn’t mind that one

[@kotorandcorvid4968]

Thank all of you guys who give this channel superthanks. Dracula needs to eat. Oh, and I guess Ryan also has to pay the bills.

[@burgerlover4574]

Love ur channel Ryan keep it up 🙏

[@alphaorochi7726]

Thank you for giving my boy Millenium Goji the props he deserves.

[@Godzillabrawler]

>SoshingekiGoji in mid-tier "That's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pans out for him."

[@Jay828__]

Thank you. Really enjoy your Japanese monster and horror videos. They are some of the best around.

[@davidsavage5630]

I've been a Godzilla fan for 40 years and...usually I like to rip on "Hollywood-ized" versions of pop culture things but I have to be real...I think the American Godzilla from 2014 till now (all designs) have been probably my favorite(s) look for Godzilla ever. For once Hollywood got it right. He looks absolutely powerful and gargantuan but also ferocious. I even like it when he moves faster than we're used to. And he still 100% looks like Godzilla (unlike 1998). Just a complete slam dunk. I never thought I could love a CGI Godzilla as much as a rubber suit version but here we are..

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

I mean...godzilla is a simplistic concept. An idea so simple Hollywood, let alone any movie studio anywhere can get it right unless it's handled by someone or people who don't care (Roland Emmerich). But yes the MV is one of the few times Hollywood adapted a Japanese IP correctly but when you take into account the idea of monster movies came from America first, it shouldn't be too shocking they get godzilla right with the right people in charge

[@lorddevilfish5868]

I had either a horrifying/amazing revelation you can technically connect the Universal monster and or Hammer Frankenstein series to the Godzilla series through Frankenstein vs Baragon and War of the Gargantuas!

[@Mia1989v]

Ryan, That RadoGoji image is from Gojira vs Destroyah and its Junior design. Ps. I love Gojira it's so sweeeeet

[@Lukelouden420]

Final Wars Godzilla is still my #1. He just always looks badass in every sense of the word.

[@thejerk4478]

Agreed. I wish they would use that design again

[@Beardo2517]

Gmk is still my favorite hands down. He looks like a straight demon

[@GODZILLABOY2000]

I agree to most of this tier list

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Mogegoji deserved better, Desugoji is literally just Mogegoji with a glow effect.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

It’s a pity about the steelbook, I love those, I only have 2 I think, the last one I got was the 4th movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series. So glad I preordered that because can’t get it now, there’s a bunch of anime here if you don’t get them immediately they become difficult to get. I wonder did they sell out of the steelbook & that’s why you didn’t get it, because usually they don’t sell those for very long.

[@willwin4744]

Gotta love Godzilla

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Godzilla is a franchise I just never got into, I’ve never seen any of those Japanese movies at all, never even seen them anywhere. And I had no idea there were so many.

[@666slateran666]

Japanese godzilla is a deep deep rabbithole

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@ Yea there seems to be a load of them.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

​​@@InfamyOrDeath-__- every franchise is bigger than you may think. Marvel and DC ain't just big because of the mcu for example. Comics spanning as far back as the 1930s. Godzilla is in the same boat. Nearly 40 films over the course of 70 years. King kong is almost 100 and has less films by comparison

[@jasonsantos3037]

I would like to see Rank list on King Kong design.

[@BobPantsSpongeSquare97]

1962 design from King Kong vs Godzilla is definitely good

[@ZacharyCamp-yx8hi]

Missing the GMK Godzilla with the white eyes that is my favorite design in millennium era

[@garywillig5143]

BTW, the Batogoji suit you put in S-tier is not the suit used in the 1991 Godzilla vs King Ghidorah film. It's the suit used in the following year's Godzilla vs Mothra The Battle for Earth. The 1991 suit is technically the same suit as the 1989 Biogoji suit, even though it was modified to have a pointier head and more muscle in the chest, so there's no separate entry in the list for the 1991 movie. Batogoji is more like the 1993 and 1994 designs than like the 1991 and 1989 designs. If you want to put the 1991 suit in S-tier, you'll need to swap the 1989 and 1992 suits and put the Biogoji in S-tier instead of the Batogoji.

[@jynniferspencer861]

Can you sing the theme song 🎶 to Godzilla? Yes. Yes you can. 🦖🎶😎

[@jeremyweller755]

Gabara tier lmao

[@lautaroasis60]

Comment for the algorithm

[@JayStephens8]

Nice list for me top 5 best 1. Burning Godzilla 2. Millennium 3. GMK 4. Final Wars 5. Minus One, just missing out original 1954, Kiryu goji, 2019-present monsterverse, heisi Top 5 worst 1. Son of Godzilla ugly as sin 2. Raids Again 3. Megalon goji 4. Earth 5. Shin, Astro Monster goji, Hannah Barbara, I’m not counting the 98 design due to gmk basically saying that creature wasn’t Godzilla the Americans thought it was but the real goji was still lurking around Japan and zilla was the creature that attacked New York, and 2014 goji it looks way off when compared to the current updated monsterverse design

[@Klaatu6432]

Kaiju god

[@-MrFozzy-]

Somethings come to rock me, and a can’t keep my head….. I don’t care, it’s a pretty good disaster type monster movie. And I don’t care enough about Godzilla to be offended by it

[@Higfoot]

Is there a Ryan you see in the mirror telling you to make the Godzilla Retrospective like the Green Goblin?

[@RealLifeRyan]

Actually yes

[@scottclay9005]

No Chibi Godzilla ?? I need to know where you'd place them!

[@MLawrence-z9k]

Call me weird but my favorite Godzilla costume is actually the 1965 one lolz

[@grecojones]

❤

[@pyronuke4768]

I like Barbenhiemer Godzilla.

[@indigopandora1829]

Yipeeeee

[@stanmanlyman4550]

I like positive you are

[@stanmanlyman4550]

how*

[@snakehandler87]

Say that you didn't do a lot of thinking about before putting out a video isn't good

[@R3N3.4LV4R3Z]

You forgot godzilla in hell

[@Stonemon16]

Yehhhh 1954 just isn’t the best design lol. Nostalgia goggles go crazy

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

Bro you can apply that to MOST of the designs 😂. Everyone got nostalgia for each one as each one just takes notes from an earlier design or is a classic design by default

[@Nachtmar3]

I always preferred the idea that Godzilla was a woman. That or the ambiguity of the first movies gender. I don’t know I just don’t really like “king of the monsters” I guess it’s because both the female sex and it being an it has symbolic meaning. The it refers to Godzilla as a natural disaster, the harshness of nature, and the female framing refers to Godzilla as a kind of Mother Nature. Meanwhile imo Godzilla being a man is more just OOGA BOOGA BIG ALPHA MONSTER DESTROYS STUFF. That concludes my opinion. In the end it holds little value XD

[@Jay828__]

Odo island villagers were sacrificing virgins to Godzilla for what it's worth. Enjoy your head cannon, but you may want to consider Japanese myths and spirituality.

[@Nachtmar3]

@ ??? Godzilla has a long history of being both female, male, and non gendered. I’m just saying I prefer the canon where Godzilla is female or non gendered. There is no head canon here Godzilla is explicitly non gendered in the original movie and is explicitly female in others.

[@Jay828__]

@Nightmare-pj4fg besides 1998, when was Godzilla female?

[@smuggrog9821]

@@Nachtmar3 Godzilla has never been referred to as a female in any of the movies, he has always been referred to as a "he" or a "it" by other characters.

[@Nachtmar3]

@ obviously the wackiness of Godzilla canon makes it hard to definitively state what Godzilla’s gender is, which is why I haven’t done that, but there are many instances of Godzilla having female traits such as female genitalia, laying eggs (I know the movie was shit), and also later people who worked on the original and also acted as Godzilla in projects thought of the character as female. However yes of course Godzilla is 99% of the time in Japanese referred to ambiguously and in the English dub as “he” most of the time. I’m not arguing Godzilla IS female, I’m arguing I like the canon version of Godzilla being female which is just a neat idea that’s happened once or twice, or ambiguous which is how Godzilla is presented a majority of the time.
