There are some mornings when I feel like a Gamera: Stumbling out of bed, extra wide body awkwardly waddling on two legs, . Googly eyes wide open and fixedly staring into infinity. Mouth full of big nasty teeth, a deathly breath, and fire coming out my rear. Yeah, Gamera is the real king.

[@beenaplumber8379]

Then you see your kids and remember why you wake up every day? Gamera feels that way about all children! 😀 He's kinda the ultimate parent.

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

@GamebroTV Still seems like the same thing. Godzilla's Heisei era was more on crazy sci-fi with a reduced focus on the relations between people and the monster(s). Gamera's 90 trilogy ignores most sci-fi anything as just window dressing and is extremely focused on the relationship between the people and the monsters and how they build and crumble.

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

I cant believe toho turned down a crossover. They already did the crossover with king kong(an American monster), but they couldn't be bothered with a fellow Japanese studio monster that was also reasonably popular. King kong didn't yet have the follow up films after the original. The 70s, and '05 hadn't happened yet. They coulda crushed the box office with gamera and Godzilla teaming up. But it probably woulda been awkward with their different styles.

[@firery794]

I’m happy we didn’t get Gamera because some random kid/ kenny would just yell and be annoying

[@deebofromtheblock]

[@diagonalscroll5]

I heard somewhere that Toho turned it down because it would be a Vs. movie and Godzilla would be the loser.

[@chillking2936]

@@diagonalscroll5 makes sence

[@ArchGeek]

King Kong was the direct inspiration for Gojira. Even his name is a combination of gorilla and whale. His film was made because of the love Japan (and the world) had for King Kong, but due to the lack of stop motion artists available, Tokusatsu itself was created. The crossover of King Kong vs Gojira (notice who got top billing) happened during a time when King Kong was as popular as ever, and Gojira had a less successful sequel. The concept was drafted as King Kong vs a monster created by the son of Dr. Frankenstein, and only adapted to include Gojira because Toho picked up the story. All of the King Kong “follow up films” you mentioned were actually reboots or remakes, not sequels. While King Kong had films like “The Son of Kong” and later with the help of Toho “King Kong escapes” King Kong’s original film was the main force of its popularity. Many other monsters and Kaiju relied on sequels and “monsters of the week” style features to remain popular. Further, many of Gojira’s films were crossovers. Rodman, Mothra, etc. were all solo films before they had a crossover with Gojira. Mechani-Kong was even created before MechaGojira. King Kong was so popular, that Toho took the lead in developing sequels and crossovers for the beast. While eventually Gojira became a smash phenomenon in Japan, and later the world, Kong was top monkey for a long long time. With Toho sitting on so many successful properties, they likely would rather not help their competition, especially since their own internal crossovers were doing so well.

[@ctshaffer1999]

Gamera being more of a “Defender of Humanity” than the more neutral Godzilla actually makes thematic sense. Turtles literally have a giant SHIELD on their back at all times.

As far as im concerned, the Heisei trilogy is required viewing for any kaiju fan worth their salt. There are very few entries even in the Godzilla series that can go toe to toe with those 3 films in terms of characters, storytelling, monster action, and special effects. They all still hold up, even in the age of big budget CGI films. I would love to see Legendary do a take on the fire breathing turtle, or....even better: bring him into the Monsterverse (though TOHO will probably still stubbornly refuse)

If you think about it, Monsterverse Godzilla shares a lot of heisei Gamera's backstory 1) Godzilla from a force of nature suddenly protects human against other kaiju eventhough unintentionally but he doesn't destroy cities like he used to as in toho version 2) Shares an origin location in the form of sunken city where a lost civilisation once worshiped them 3) The victory against the MUTO is also a disaster for other survivors in KOTM just as it is in the Guardian of the universe victory turn into a disaster for survivors in Revenge of Iris Is it a coincidence or a reference/ copy pasta?

Here's the thing, I grew up on a healthy diet of Godzilla, my mom rented me my first Godzilla film when I was maybe six years old (Godzilla vs. Gigan), the first Godzilla movie I bought for myself was Destroy All Monsters because my uncle said it was insane seeing all those monsters at once (it totally was), the original Gojira is objectively one of the most influential films of all time, but pound for pound Gamera is my favorite monster of all time. I would argue that Gamera's Heisei trilogy is better than the seven Heisei Godzilla films. Hell, I'd even venture to say the Gamera the Brave is better than Godzilla's Millenium series, but I'm open to discussion on that one. Godzilla may be the king, but to me Gamera is the Dread Pirate Roberts.

As a lifelong fan of scfi & fantasy works: star trek, star wars, Godzilla, King Kong and others, The Gamera Trilogy is my gold standard. It is the only series that I've purchased on VCD, VHS, DVD, blu-ray & digital. Godzilla is my all time favorite, for I knew of him first, Gamera caught my attention as an adult while serving in the US Army in the late 90s. Imo, The Trilogy is the masterpiece of daikaiju art, and it's both baffling and disappointing that Kadokawa is sitting on this franchise.

The Gamera franchise going straight from Super Monster to the Heisei trilogy is like if Batman went straight from the Adam West tv show to the Christopher Nolan trilogy

[@oaktree149]

The Heisei Movies are Legitimately Better than Most Godzilla Movies for Me

[@henriquedearruda8902]

I think Gamera was blown to peaces in his first appearance , just as Godzilla was dissolved to bone in his first appearance

[@BubbaUltra]

We need a movie with Godzilla, Kong, and Gamera imagine all 3 taking on King Ghidorah or Destroyah

[@inamiarts.7fourclub]

Great job, I watched the entire video, they say that a classic monster is supposed to make an appearance in Godzilla vs Kong and I hope it's Gamera but I don't know how they would make that happen.

[@dhanushbatreddy]

It's not gamera, the trailer for the movie already revealed the classic monster

As a child I thought it was cool how Gamera flew around shooting out fire. Eventhough sometimes these movies came on, too late night for me too watch at times cause of school.

Legion is my favorite Kaiju antagonist of any series.

As a kid, I was traumatized when Gyaos was severing Gamera's arm.

IT TIME FOR GAMERA

[@cinemamadness6920]

Gamera is one of the few Kaiju/Tokusatsu franchises where I only watch the monster fighters and skip everything else. Aside from the Heisei trilogy, the child characters make it near unwatchable, even when I was a little kid, I felt the same way.

I didn't think the japanese version was that bad, I think the english dub makes the kid's voices squeakier on purpose or something. But I didn't think Gamera 1965, Gamera vs barugon, Gamera vs gyaos, Gamera vs guiron, and Gamera vs jiger were that bad, sure they had a couple of really bad films in between, but they weren't as bad as the worst of the godzilla showa era series. And the english dub also sometimes completely changes what the humans, and adults say making it a lot goofier, like in the english dub a guy is trying to get the kid on Gamera's back, but the kid is too far away, so he tells gamera to come closer because he can't reach. But in the japanese version, he sees gamera starting to move, so he tells the kid to get down. It's small changes like that that make it a lot less goofy, as well as their voices and stuff, but I guess it is still preference.

[@sirfijoe450]

@@GSTE_ Gamera super monster is 10x worse than even All monsters attack. thats saying something. Toho had higher budgets and therefore could create much better sets and suits. It's all in the budget. But I agree the dubs do make any old japanese movie a lot worse than the original voices. Showa Gamera just always focused on children more as main characters which is good for kids but makes them literally unwatchable to adults. Even the most childish of Godzilla movies like Vs Megalon had at least slightly watchable human characters.

[@reidboutte]

Super monster is ironically my first gamera movie

I am big Gamera Fan! I have been a fan of Gamera for many years! Gamera is known as the Defender of Children. So you really need to see if from a child's point of view. All of the Gamera Movies that I watched when I was younger, I greatly enjoyed!
