Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: GODZILLA AND MOTHRA: THE BATTLE FOR EARTH

[@TheBrandonTenold]

"Godzilla And Mothra: The Battle For Earth" may be the most successful Heisei Godzilla film, but is it your favorite?

[@nicostud916]

Yes, yes it is (for the Heisei era since Godzilla Final Wars is my number 1)

[@AbsoluteZero-m1f]

No, but it's my second favorite Heisei movie.

[@Purple_Austin]

No I think vs mechagodzill 2 is better

[@Nerom99]

Nah, but it's better than Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla II and SpaceGodzilla.

[@ech78928]

No. Not even close.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Battra isn't really an "evil" version of Mothra. He's basically Mothra's BROTHER, but they are also Yin and Yang to each other. Both have the goal of protecting Planet Earth, but Battra feels that humanity needs to be wiped out in order for Earth to survive. Mothra, however, vehemently believes humans deserve the exact same rights to life as all the rest of Earth's species, even if they do often have destructive tendencies, and this is why Mothra and Battra clash with each other. Mothra: Please brother! Don't force me to kill you! Battra: You fight to protect those who don't deserve protection, Mothra! That's why I am stronger than you!

[@mwizachihana9551]

So in other words, 'Battra' is an anti-Hero.

It's just that in Heisei G-series, which tried to be more realistic looking and was teen oriented, this cute design felt very out of place (tho at least it didn't look like a fucking suturday morning cartoon that was G Junior in the 1994 movie). "Rebirth of Mothra" trilogy were silly campy kid films, yet Mothra designs there got toned down, with some even looking bad ass.

My biggest problem with this movie is that, it doesn't know what movie it wants to be. Is it Mothra, Godzilla vs Mothra, Godzilla vs The Giga-Moth, or maybe Mothra vs The Giga-Moth? Godzilla vs Mothra is a movie that never coalesces into a single film, but is one that keeps changing what movie it is every 5 min. It's basically a Mothra trilogy in vignette form co-staring Godzilla, who really didn't need to be in this movie at all.

[@kangtheguardian1214]

I've always considered this movie to be kind of an unofficial Rebirth of Mothra 0. The model they used for Mothra here is the same one they used for the Mother Mothra in RoM1, so I always figured they were one and the same creature. And imagining this as RoM0 makes sense. Mothra and Battra team up to defeat Godzilla at the cost of Battra's life, Mothra seals Godzilla away forever with that giant glyph at the end, and then she goes on to years later lay an egg before RoM1 happens. The next Godzilla movie, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, doesn't explain how Godzilla escaped from the seal at all, so it's like it takes place in an alternate timeline where the sealing process never happened.

[@GoGojiraGo]

Fun fact, the original draft for this was Mothra vs Bagan, before it was reworked to Mothra vs Gigamoth and finally Godzilla vs Mothra. In fact Godzilla is the third wheel in this because Battra took the role of the primary antagonist Bagan/Gigamoth, and they stuck Godzilla in pretty much for name branding.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

Mothra vs bagan was it's own thing. This was started as godzilla vs gigamoth and gigamoth was replaced by mothra but simultaneously reworked into battra. Godzilla was always intended to be in the film. The film just gives godzilla such little motivation that he feels like a third wheel in what is basically a rivalry between mothra and battra

It was -22 degrees in Wisconsin yesterday. Yup it's cold. Also YES GODZILLA REVIEW ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!! PURE LUCK

[@alecperdeau650]

Oh my God I got so pissed with Mothra in this movie when Iwas a kid. She pretty much sacrificed her brother to take out Godzilla with no remorse. Vindictive is an understatement

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

To be fair, Battra’s eye lights had gone out, so he was already dead when she dropped him and Godzilla. Then again, she may have positioned him by Godzilla’s mouth on purpose.

17:00 I smell a Ready Player One reference

[@scado5679]

Gundam was around way before that movie, but it's nice to see it get a reference

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Hey Brandon you rocked as extreme godzilla. He was extreme!

[@watchinglearner]

David Brown You sure you don't mean, "XTREME?"

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

@@watchinglearner lol yeah

[@jamesvarela233]

David Brown lol he definitely did and I love it.

[@scado5679]

That was him?? Dam, I need to re-watch that episode!

[@PURPLE_SHADE_SMOOTHIE]

“They’re gone.” THE END lolololol

13:32 Literally all insects ever were the original pokemon.

[@ace2578]

Thanks Brandon for the Godzilla vids best Christmas present ever

[@comradefreedom8275]

Gundam happens to be my favorite franchise, so I'm so happy you mentioned it here.

[@Werezilla]

4:37. Akira Takarada's not the only familiar face in this movie. On his right is Akjii Kobayashi, who played the mentor figures in both the original Ultraman and first five seasons of Kamen Rider.

Happy Godzillamas!

[@tmseh]

Look! The radioactive glow on the snow! So pretty.

[@russellmyers5008]

This is one of my all-time up to newest ones out of

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

This movie could have been a lot better but Battra is one of the coolest kaiju especially his larva stage.

[@dylanfrancis5996]

17:00 OO Gundam? Brandon, you truly are a man of culture

[@redskeith4737]

No don't you see, the environmental message, that's why they recycled so many previous plots, the environment

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

😂

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

@19:46 I didn't know Mothra gave Godzilla a bukake service. It must have been very satisfying for her to do so.

[@jayboyfavkcoolteenager4442]

13:54 Mothra tells us thank you? No problem!

[@josephzeh8600]

let us know when you start on the Gundam vs. Godzilla script. that sounds like a really fun watch.
