Due to my father's infamously questionable children's media choices: the original Godzilla
No, really, it was a heritage art showing. We were thiiiiis close to being scarred for life by the chilling nuclear horror, and then the guy in a rubber suit showed up and it was fine. Our mother was not impressed.
Other gems include cluelessly showing Princess Mononoke to toddlers and letting a still-single-digits sibling watch Jaws right before the start of swim camp.
what's the first movie you remember seeing in theaters? don't try and be all edgy and cool and say like tetsuo: the iron man. be honest.
Go!!
I love watching old movies, especially Godzilla, and I like having the subtitles on, as sometimes these can be hilarious, I’d love to know how you get to be so bad at converting one language to another.
I watched a recent Godzilla film and had to rewind to read some text, I couldn’t believe what I was reading, it was so odd I thought I would take a photo and share it on tumblr!!!
Any thoughts as to what the original wording should have been!!!! Love it...

My favorite Goji is Godzilla Earth. Before i read the prequel books he was my second favorite, with KiryuGoji being the first. Earth's design, sounds and presence alone are amazing enough for me to place him there. But after i read the books, i think no other Godzilla ever made might make it to the top like him. The way the people talked about him in complete fear, like he is quite literally a natural disaster, the way no monster or human weapon could come close to stoping him, and how the monsters themselfs are afraid of him. The moment when he attacks New York, shooting a beam at the sky from the ocean, killing Varan instantly and bringing the city into total darkness with the shockwave of the blast, and then a roar, that was when he became my favorite Godzilla. And i don't think i even need to mention how amazing the chapter about him destroying Gorath is.
My Top 5 Favorite Godzilla Designs
(poll at end)
I used to say that Millennium Godzilla was my favorite design for the character, but that might not be the case anymore. I still love it, but after thinking about for a good long time, I have found that there are designs that I like better. And I finally narrowed down my top 5 favorites. So here it is. My Top 5 Favorite Godzilla Designs
#5. Millennium Goji.
More specifically, his look in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla Tokyo SOS, AKA "KiryuGoji." The jagged elements and wolf-like face are very sleek, the golden eyes really pop, the teeth are nice and visible, it has pretty much everything going for it. The one thing it's got going against it, and this is just a personal thing for me, is the size. Of all the designs in my top 5, this one is the smallest at a mere 50 meters. Some may argue that that's how big Godzilla should be, but personally, I like my Gojis in the neighborhood of 100 to 120 meters. But aside from that, Millennium Goji is fantastic
#4. Monsterverse Goji
More specifically, his design in 2019 and 2021. It's big, it's menacing, and it looks like it could be an actual animal. Sure the head's a bit small and the teeth could look better, but it still works.
#3. Gemstone Goji
This design is brilliant, in my opinion. It's like a perfect blend of Heisei Goji and Monsterverse Goji. Sometimes the skin looks less like scales and more like lumpy, gray warts. It's not bad, but it can be a little distracting. Most of the time, however, it's not a problem, and this Goji definitely fits with the narrative Gemstone is creating. If they make more media with this design, I am game.
#2. Heisei Goji
You can't go wrong with what is, arguably, the most recognizable design Godzilla has ever had. Some even consider this the definitive design for Godzilla, and I can't say I disagree. Most days, you hear the word "Godzilla," and Hesei Goji comes to mind, especially his look in Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla, AKA "MogeGoji," with his enormous size, expressive eyes, two rows of teeth, and bulging muscles. My only two drawbacks is that sometimes the shoulders are a bit to slim, and sometimes the legs seem a little too massive. It's not a deal breaker, mind you, but it can be distracting from time to time. Still, the Heisei era does have, arguably, the most consistent and recognizable design, and it's definitely makes the top 2.
#1. Final Goji
I have thought about it the entire time I was making this list, and I think I can safely say that Godzilla's design in Godzilla: Final Wars is my personal favorite. The red eyes, the teeth, the longer ears, the slim yet powerful build, it all works. Is he as powerful-looking as Heisei Goji? Not really. Is he as imposing as Monsterverse Goji? No. But something about this design strikes a near-perfect balance for me. Not only that, but Godzilla's personality in this film is great. Godzilla feels like a battle-hardened rōnin warrior with a chip on his shoulder. And now that I think about it, this Goji might be the most powerful. He goes through the whole movie beating the other kaiju left and right without even breaking a sweat. He's unstoppable. If they made a whole film series with Final Goji and all the other monsters in Final Wars, I would absolutely LOVE it. So yeah, after a lot of thinking, Final Wars Godzilla is my favorite Godzilla.
