2024 is hands down the best time to be a Godzilla fan. We just got two fantastic movies last year, with one of them winning an Academy Award, Apple just renewed a second season of “Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters”, DC just published a crossover event with Godzilla battles the Justice League, and Gigabash recently put out even more Godzilla DLC featuring King Ghidorah and the Smog Monster as playable fighters. So, it’s safe to say that we’re eating good. But it wasn’t always like this.
Following the release of “Godzilla: Final Wars” in 2004, it really seemed like there would never be another Godzilla movie. No new film projects were announced and Toho even went as far as destroying their water tank set that they had used on countless Godzilla and other miscellaneous kaiju projects. It really did feel like the end of an era. Despite this, the fandom was as alive and vibrant as ever. KZbin would go live only one year after the release of “Final Wars”. So, a lot of Godzilla fans got to work making tributes, AMVs, stop motion short films, toy reviews, and retrospectives on the franchise.
A lot of fans dub this period, the dark age of Godzilla because the franchise was in limbo. Nobody knew if the King of the Monsters would ever make a return to the big screen. So, the term “Dark Age” shouldn’t be taken as “all of this content is bad and I’m going to spend the rest of the video mocking it” No. Absolutely not. I have a soft spot for a lot of this. I mean, hey, one of the reasons as to why I even got into Godzilla was because of KZbin and watching all of this stuff at a very young age. If it weren’t for these ancient videos, I probably wouldn’t be here talking to you on this very channel. So, let’s go back into the trenches that were the dark age of Godzilla KZbin content. Do these videos hold up or were they a product of their time? Well, let’s find out! We’ll be going through the good, the bad, and the cringe…

This is why I don't care if Godzilla isn't serious or goofy. Growing up in this era was a nightmare, no new Godzilla content, no new Godzilla games, no reruns of the classic Toho films, people would mock you for being a Godzilla fan, etc. That's why goofy or serious debate is stupid, because a lot of people didn't grow up during this era or weren't fans back then. So they don't appreciate the content they're giving us right now. I hope Godzilla stays strong!

[@jessossenkopp]

Please preach. You got people in the community being toxic towards each other and criticizing what they hate, meanwhile they should be celebrating that there’s even content to criticize in the first place. And anyway, the wonderful thing about Godzilla is that it can successfully be many things. Godzilla can be a serious commentary on the consequences of nuclear warfare or it can be fun popcorn beatem up experience.

[@XaviHaunts]

I'm just happy we're in a kaiju renaissance, people can finally take us seriously again and The sudden rebirth and explosion in kaiju media is great, it's such a good time to be a kaiju fan

Speaking to my soul here.

[@RHR199X]

I grew up in this time, all of what you said was true, but it ended 10 years and I feel quite strongly about the MV and their tonal shifts have made me less excited each film although GXK was alright. I look at fan art from Owen Kellen/Obamase and Project Monster/ Lost Utopia and I can’t help but wonder just how good we could be eating if this stuff had a Hollywood budget behind it. Toho is gonna do what they want regardless it’s the Reiwa era and theyre experimenting but this corner of Godzilla in the west doesn’t need to emulate Showa when we practically invented our own tone and I miss it because it ended the drought in the first place. We didn’t have a debate about silly vs serious until recently becayee it wasn’t a problem, which means it’s a problem in execution.

[@dragonzilla6482]

I used to watch Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness Godzilla-A-Thon over and over near religiously as a kid.

[@Kulykill]

I literally grew up in this age. I was born 2004 and was put on by AVGN and monster island buddies. Then saw a pirated cd of 2014. The quality was really bad and the brightness was way darker than the actual movie. But I still fell in love with it and been a huge fan ever since.

[@demetreviz65]

This was my era. As a 2005 kid in Europe Godzilla was nowhere to be found in anything except the internet. My very first "interaction" with Godzilla was an amv video with the Halloween song from nightmare before Christmas. The rest is history

[@gorgetheplatypus7797]

I miss this era of godzilla youtube, even if there wasn't much godzilla media going on at the time

[@rayvenkman2087]

The GodzillaThons is more than likely *the* KZbin Godzilla series that got new people exposed to the series between the span between Final Wars and Legendary’s Godzilla. James Rolfe was a big enough name to bring traffic towards this Godziller fella. More people were made aware of the fact there were more Godzillas than the Showa Era and the two post-Showa Toho films that were released in cinemas outside of Japan than they would have before seeing the series. Longtime fans on the internet knew but for everyone else, it was like seeing Season 3 of Beast Wars for the first time and getting the resolution for the Season 2 cliffhanger because some places never got the third season. I remember seeing the whole marathon and becoming aware of the series’ long history at a time that Legendary Godzilla or the idea of a new Godzilla just a murmur just like the return of Crash Bandicoot before 2016-2017. Fun, engaging, informative and a joy to explore a series that you only vaguely knew in passing even if the likes of Big Action Bill’s the History of Godzilla Movies have surpassed it in the years since. In a top ten of series James had done, it’d be up right there.

[@matthewhaozous7210]

another banger video that i used to watch a lot, was one of those Godzilla Neo slideshows where it would show the monster and their accompanied roar

[@cheepmovprod]

Those were made by Nick Dodge, who still sometimes makes videos where he usually animates dinosaurs.

[@Eligon_1965]

Monster Island Buddies got me into Godzilla. I discovered his channel around 2019/20 through his video game reviews. I would then watch the 2014 Godzilla movie on netflix, and buy a Godzilla DVD box wich I watched throughout the summer of 2020.

[@PaperThinArmor]

Dang this time period was so interesting, as a godzilla fan i just rewatched some of the same stuff over and over again since there really wasnt much content around it. I also really liked the music of the movies and in particular I rewatched a video called “Happy Birthday Godzilla” posted in 2006 all the time which was a compilation of all the existing godzilla movies at the time with the godzilla theme playing over it.

[@Windwalker88]

The Godzillathon is so important. They made me a Godzilla fan and it is so iconic. Desteroooyaaaahh

[@Petruinfinitee1000]

I remember when I was young I watched a guy called pta 17 or something like that were he would take footage from godzilla usually heisei or the last 2 showa movies and mesh them with footage from ultraman shows they were the first ever tokusatsu videos I ever watched along MMD, GAHAF and Cronos unfortunately all of his videos have been deleted with very few reuploads.Apparently toho forced him to delete them there are to this very day godzilla vs ultra monster videos such as bubba ultra.

[@LochNessHamster]

I still fall asleep with Godzillathon on in the background. Hell, half the time when I fall asleep watching sonething else on KZbin the autoplay will wind up bringing me back to Monster Madness anyway. KZbin knows what's up.

[@FestDestiny]

There's also Godzilla Vs Mecha Bin Laden and those Godzilla Pivot Animations.

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

I remember those!

[@godzillabebravethetrexretu1381]

These videos were very nostalgic to watch as a kid

[@atavious2491]

I think you should've also mentioned the NES Godzilla Creepypasta. It came out way back in 2012 and Goji73 did a whole video version of the story. While many would just look at this more as a video game creepypasta and mainly belonging to that category of online horror stories (like Sonic.exe, Ben Drown, Slenderman, or Jeff The Killer), in my opinion, I view this as the height of more Godzilla fan content on the early years of KZbin. It's a story that takes the first Godzilla game Monster of Monsters on NES (which AVGN reviewed) and completely turns into a more engaging action pact game with your typical creepypasta horror elements. Basically a haunted, hacked, or possessed cartridge. It even added more fan created monsters into the Godzilla mythos like Red. It intrigued me back in the day and I think deserves more of a highlight in the Godzilla fan space. Others in both the online horror and Kaiju fan space have also talked about this gaming pasta. Its popularity extended beyond the release of the 2014 film.

[@FirewoodMediaTV]

We’re working on a separate video on the NES Godzilla Creepypasta. I have a lot to say about it and didn’t want to take away from the main focus of this video.

[@ASR-Ansori]

Someone's prolly already said this but I feel like this is more of a Golden Age, especially if we're specifically referring to the KZbin side of things. It was an experimental and fun little era for a lot of fans, or the chance to introduce others into the very poorly distributed world of Toho's kaiju. It was a dark age for the Godzilla franchise for sure, but not necessarily on the internet side of things I'd say.

[@Sepazuzu]

This video made me tear up so much, when your a Godzilla fan as an 8 year old in 2009 and one else gives af about it, these videos are your escape, I’m so happy to see other people experiencing the same thing, Loved this video.

When I was a kid, there was this Godzilla video with that god damn Numa Numa song and I was obsessed with it. I drove my mom nuts with how much I listened to it lol.

I remember those kinds of videos. One in particular that I remember was a montage of Mothra with Around The World (La La La) by A Touch Of Class playing in the background.

[@landonsmith135]

Oh my gosh I was totally obsessed with the Godzilla numa numa video, along with a safety dance video with gamera

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

Godzilla-A-Thon was how I became aware of all the films. As I was limited to whatever just randomly aired on cable. I still can’t watch Son of Godzilla without quoting G: “What the f&@k are you doing?” M: “Nothing dad go back to sleep.”

[@omni-potent798]

I miss this era of KZbin and Godzilla content. Goji73 was peak

[@Pokezilla101]

When you reminded me of Godzilla and his Amazing Friends a moment got activated in my brain like that critic guy from Ratatouille. I haven't thought about those videos in years but they were my childhood.

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

I was in elementary school during this era. I was born in 2001 and I remember watching all kinds of Godzilla videos on KZbin, many of which are showcased in this video. I remember watching all the toy reviews, toy fights, animated fights, and even Godzilla Attacks Eden Prairie. When I was in 2nd grade, our class was given an assignment on reporting about multiple characters from a specific franchise we had to choose. This was back in either 2010 or 2011 and my dad got me hooked on Godzilla when he had me watch Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth. I figured, “Why not do mine on Godzilla?” Godzilla was an interesting entry into the school assignment because it was nowhere near as hugely known a franchise as Star Wars or Pokémon. The only monsters my classmates and teacher recognized were Godzilla, King Kong, and Mechagodzilla. The rest were all obscure to them. I had Mothra on the front cover because at the time, I really liked her (and still do). The teacher asked me in front of the class “Who’s Mothra?” And then I did some explaining. Everybody was speechless. One girl who really liked me didn’t know who Godzilla was until I came along and she would tease me for liking Godzilla. With the immense success of the recent Godzilla media, I wonder what she’s thinking now? It’s safe to say, beginning in 2014, I’ve been killing it as a Godzilla fan. Her as a Monster High fan, not so much.

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

Plus, the figure fights I remember watching were uploaded by SabufanX and zillagamer. Ghidorah vs Gomora by SamanthaVoorhees is one I fondly remember watching when I was younger.

[@0H00C-Ultra]

I got hit by a brick of nostalgia when I saw Godzilla and his amazing friends and The Thailand oil ad (I'm a Thai Person)

[@rootbeef]

The way these old videos and channels were your fuel for your love and hype for Godzilla and kaiju media, your channel is one of those for me!

[@Gojira439]

Wouldn’t this be the Golden Age, a dark age implies there was a Godzilla youtube era prior to this but there wasn’t

[@rayvenkman2087]

I think Dark Age is more of an apt term because Godzilla media was in bit of a dryspell as it was between Terror of Mechagodzilla and Return of Godzilla. No new film projects were being worked on, the distribution of the films was still spotty with some Heisei and Millennium Era Godzillas not readily available for viewing, Gojira (1954) wouldn’t be available for a few years, Godzilla merch was relegated to specialty shops or as part of an evergreen branding, the SH Monsterarts hasn’t started and if you wanted new Godzilla, you had to turn to the comics or the video games coming out. Can’t comment on the then state of Kaijuwiki because I only experienced the newer version. When the Godzilla KZbin community started coming into being, Final Wars was the most recent film, a second go at an American Godzilla film was relegated to the same developmental status as the Justice League (Before Zack Snyder’s involvement) and the Kaiju genre was in something of a drought during most of the 2000’s in terms of big releases with Gamera the Brave having an underwhelming box office run. I would say the G-Fans were in a similar boat to Trekkers in the 1970’s where Star Trek was in that state of limbo between TOS Season 3 in 1969 and 1979 when The Motion Picture dropped where no new on-screen media was being produced at the time other than a two season low-budget animated series of 22 episodes in 1973-1974. In the meantime, you had to seek out the TOS reruns, go to conventions to see the unaired pilot before it was widely available, pick up the Gold Key Comics and the odd original novel to get your Trek fix. The whole Motion Picture project is a long, spiralling tale of false starts, pay disputes, trying to pitch a good story for the big screen and the movie we got was originally conceived as a story for the unmade Phase 2 series for a new network. The Golden Age started with the 1990’s because Star Trek was no longer in a constant precarious state of dying off as it was throughout the 1980’s including the whole nightmare surrounding The Next Generation’s first two seasons with 1989 being the peak of absolute chaos. For the Golden Age of KZbin Godzilla, that either came about around the late 2000’s where the likes of MIB were coming into prominence or near the mid-2010’s when news of Legendary’s Godzilla started circulating.

[@MrUkufa]

What you talked about was a golden age Now a days we have people talking bad about each other, horrible comic dub click bait trailers and powerscalers yapping about things that no one actually cares about stuff like “tribute to Godzilla vs mechagodzilla” and monster island buddies while looked back on weird now a days is 110% better then the modern content we are getting to a point that the roll of the movies and the fan content have swapped as fan content has now entered the dark ages while the official movies are entered a form of mix of golden age and renaissance with toho and the monster verse

[@H_3_R_0-]

It was a very fun yet strange time growing up in the very early 2000's and being a godzilla fan. I was born in 2003 and at the age of 3 I stumbled across godzilla through a random music video on youtube at the time. Ever since that day I have been a massive godzilla fan. I'm very glad that godzilla is as big as he is today and I honestly feel quite envious whenever I walk into my local supermarket and see godzilla toys line the shelves. That was something I could only ever dream about as a kid growing up in Australia where godzilla was even less popular than most countries at the time. There was barely ever anybody who actually knew who he was besides the few random older people who probably grew up seeing the showa era films. I remember always talking about godzilla at school with my friends or other kids and they had absolutely no idea what I was talking about lmao.

[@birbboy5783]

Thank you for making this video and acknowledging the positives during this timeframe on KZbin and in general. Growing up in the 2000s as a Godzilla fan, nothing was more fun for me than to watch Godzilla toy battles on KZbin from channels like Tarantula Productions and C.J. Productions Inc. Those types of videos were the D.I.Y. equivalents to rubber suit monsters fighting on soundstages, all embodied in a kind of childhood innocence and love for film making. (There was also the "Godzilla X The Kaiju Killer" movie by Chris Elchesyn, who went as far as to make his own Godzilla suits for the project, which is super inspirational in-and-of itself.) And all of the Godzilla movies were "new" to me while growing up as a Godzilla fan. There was so much to explore throughout all 28 Godzilla films that it never truly felt like there was a lack of Godzilla content, even when new movies were not being made. I also feel like Toho made more of an honest effort during this timeframe to release as many of their Godzilla and Non-Godzilla-Giant-Monster movies on DVD in America, something that is not happening as much now. I feel like looking back on this timeframe and dubbing it as the "Dark Ages" has an immature implication. From my perspective (and I could be wrong), it seems like a lot of things Godzilla fans talk about wanting to own in general - from DVD/Blu-Ray releases of Godzilla and Non-Godzilla Toho Giant-Monster movies to various new Godzilla figures - are tendencies that have carried over from this timeframe.

[@NightbaneGames]

So I have a KZbin account from 2007, and I was able to look through my comment history to find some interesting videos I haven't thought about in years. Godzilla roar compilations (There were a ton of these but I always listened to the 1954 ones) "Godzilla in Brawl!!!" by "Tom K" which is a poorly edited image of Godzilla in Smash Bros Brawl for 5 seconds "Godzilla vs. Mothra (1964) Main theme" by "KaijuQueenMothra13", an OST video that has a screamer at the end for no reason whatsoever "TOP 13 GODZILLA MONSTERS" by "gydromon" which features a high pitched alien voice counting down the characters "numa numa godzilla" by "octavio abuelito" which is exactly what you expect, Numa Numa with Godzilla footage, has a lot of interesting choices "Godzilla Vs NES Heroes" by "cerebulon", a good old MUGEN video "godzilla movies that got canceled?" by "1fanofgodzilla", this one got me obsessed with the idea of lost, unreleased, or scrapped media

[@user-cu8mg1tf1l]

Oooh yeah! I think i know what you're talking about, i've been looking for it a long time now. It's that one video where Godzilla looked like a green humanoid giant iguana right? And both Godzilla & King Kong Had that stock 70's King Kong roar, and there was that weird synth music. Something curious about that animation is that the fighting animation was reused in every other video using the same "engine" (if you can call it like that), i even remember one that was supossedly "Godzills vs Megalon" where Megalon didn't looked like Megalon at all (it looked more like a black'ish skeleton)

[@conkle7955]

For me, one of the first videos that introduced me to Godzilla related media was a video titled "Happy Birthday Godzilla" by kaijusroyaume. That one video introduced me to the many films that were part of the Godzilla franchise (back then, the concept of a movie franchise was foreign to younger me) and got me hooked to find more Godzilla related videos on the internet. Pre-KZbin, I already had an idea of who Godzilla was courtesy of Godzilla '98 and that one episode from Animal Icons called "It Came From Japan" but Happy Birthday Godzilla was what got me digging deeper into the kaiju rabbit hole.

Around this time when i was a kid. It didnt felt like a dark age, for me this was a time when i was into wanting to watch all of the toho godzilla movies that came out on dvd. And when they had godzilla save the earth ps2 and then godzilla unleashed for the wii. I was enjoying what was put out by toho with releasing many of the toho godilla movies for the 50th anniversary and pipeline with their godzilla games at the time. Back in mid 2000s i used to go fye with my dad and he buy me the toho godzilla movies that were on dvd. That was when they the majority of godzilla movies from all three eras on dvd at the time Overall the dark age that was considered by many godzilla fans was the peak age for me as a godzilla fan in digging more into the loads of godzilla movies that i hadn’t seen for the first time when i was a kid and got to play the three pipeline godzilla games for the gamecube, ps2 and wii

Being 24 and being a fan at age 3 keeping up with what I had throughout the "Dark years" was kinda tough, all I had was the dvds that was available, having Godzilla destroy all monsters melee on GCN and the Bandai America toys to go by, I barely used the internet until the 2010s and this is most of what I saw back in the day and eventually learning there was more Godzilla movies out there thanks to James Rolf blew my mind as a pre teen, Ultraman Cronos and MIB opened my eyes to all the toys that was out there at the time eventually jumping into Rich Eso and Samson West blew the gates wide open. With all that I know and have now, if it wasn't for some of these people, I wouldn't have been as influenced to look and invest into Godzilla more and I don't regret that today.

My formative years as a young Godzilla fan were spent during this era and I remember it with mixed feelings. I have a lot of nostalgia watching 240p quality reviews of Bandai figures or fan movies, they were proof that the fandom was still alive and well. However, this was rock bottom for the franchise in terms of content and things got old quickly. Cloverfield was pretty much the only kaiju film of the era and the most exciting event was Godzilla’s cameo in Sunset on Third Street. It wasn't all bad but I was so thankful when Pacific Rim came out and ushered in a golden age for everyone who waited through the dark age.

[@arenamakosi]

@@FirewoodMediaTV holy shit i had no idea. dang, that one hurt a little bit

[@insectilluminatigetshrekt5574]

I remember this youtuber called godzillafilms, who made a recreation of the ultra galaxy movie with kaiju figures

[@jacobcrowder4920]

I grew up watching Monster Island Buddies even though I wasn't supposed to watch it when I was a kid but nowadays MIB does put out that warning but hey I'm glad you decided to talk about it😂

[@mr.goodbones2803]

I used to watch a video of Godzilla vs Space Godzilla set to When World's Collide by Power Man 5000 so much as a kid. It's been obliterated by copyright since 2014 but it was a banger!

[@franciscopenajr3909]

9:52 I used to watch videos like that on my old tablet when I was younger

[@tannerbruning868]

That era got me into Godzilla tbh, cinnamassacre’s monster madness and finding episodes of “Godzilla the series” on KZbin, Looking back tho it is funny how wrong james was about the plots on his movies in godzillathon.

[@AlpayKonak]

8:54 nostalgıc sınce when ıt was around the fırst godzılla commercial ı watched

[@l.abuddy23]

Hey, I grew up in this era. I recall thinking that 2004 was the last year a Godzilla film would be, period, let alone seeing another Godzilla movie made in my lifetime. I, of course, did not know how old humans are, nor did I understand how famous Godzilla was. With the 2000's music and simply slide-show editing, these older videos are nostalgic.

[@TheKKVB]

9:10 Damn that scream was loud on my video projector.

[@navalta_gfx]

Growing up in the dark era has made the current era all the more amazing

[@AlTilleyTheBum-pt4mx]

I agree. If anything, it’s actually made me appreciate the Godzilla franchise even more now.

[@MovieMonster9]

Yeah, I was a GodzillaTuber back in those times, especially because I was a Godzilla fan since 2009.

[@ikaiju-eu9wn]

i want to watch this, but nostalgia kills me

[@jakefine7234]

I’m still waiting for someone to uncover this video of a guy doing monster roll call where he gives them all stupid names. If anyone know the video where the guy calls Gigan a giant chicken and to King Cesar he says “and I don’t know what the hell that is” please please let me know . 🙏🏻

[@KingGhidorah5464]

Gotta love the old days

[@Kajuboistudios]

I remember That One Series Kajiu Kings

[@GodzillerGuy]

There was this one Chanel I remember that made a series of Godzilla and Ultraman using Bandai toys. I know it’s not very specific, but I’ve had trouble finding it

[@iriamuguillermo9678]

Ah man I remember this era. I made cringey toy reviews basically ripping off UltramanCronos thinking I was cool. Where did the years go?

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Godzilla 🤝 DBZ = Having the internet to hold fans over after a decade of no new content

[@thebigbadrascal3398]

What was the other fantastic Godzilla movie last year?

[@K.Pershing]

Dude I loved Godzilla and His Amazing Friends, I grew up on that

[@Goji01]

What about Godzilla vs Jet Jaguar animation from 2007??

[@gavichealsomething2169]

A KZbinr mentions Monster Island Buddies? Im amazed, i swear the only other KZbinr who knows him was WikiZilla

[@Kamen.Rider.Eternal]

does anyone know about a godzilla against mechagodzilla/tokyo sos music video that used monster by skillet? i have been searching it for a while but i cant find it. i think it was titled "godzilla 2" or "godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2", idk

[@godzilla_fan_13]

does anybody remember a bunch of old godzilla videos from this period that were like, done with bandai vinyl kaiju figures and would have like carboard boxes n shit for buildings n whatnot? i also remember a few other details like the person doing the videos had an absolutely monstrous (pun not intended) collection. i think they're unfortunately lost to time but i remember them rather fondly and would be curious if anybody else knew of them.

[@0H00C-Ultra]

Another one is the Godzilla Unleashed intros

[@TheGuyNamedXtars]

It was the golden age with pure content, unlike now there's cringe ah vs edits or power scaling stuffs (they want fame)

[@JunglusKaijuFan70O8]

this video make me feel like a kid again, i watched goji73 and ultraman cronos a lot, they have definitely inspired me to who i am today.

[@ADjustinG2013]

People knew Godzilla would return. Toho was very clear that it was only a haitus

[@Legendaryjurassiczilla2023]

Monster island buddies Started their series in 2010 which was the same year i was born

[@IlluminatorMTfan]

9:10 I have never heard Firewood get this mad 💀

[@nickojira3205]

God this is so cathartic to see lmao. I was born right at the beginning of the godzilla drought period in 2005 and grew up with almost all of these videos. This one video i used to love but cant seem to find is this one animated music video someone made. It was about a boy fantasizing about godzilla being real after seeing a godzilla figure in a Toys R Us when he was supposed to be shopping for his cousin or something. I remember the godzilla model being green and based on the 12" Bandai USA final wars godzilla.

[@earthm78studios]

Anyone here remember the Adventures of Ultraman and Godzilla? Or Godzilla vs King Ghidorah Special Edition?
