Fun Fact about Shin Godzilla (okay not really a fun fact for it but still): Unlike most of the other Godzillas that have existed as their own species, Shin Godzilla really got the short end of the stick. It started off as an unidentified animal that was exposed to high dosages of nuclear radiation which messed with its DNA so much that it gained the ability to constantly and rapidly evolve. However, evolving at a rapid rate meant that Shin Godzilla is in a constant state of pain and confusion, so the poor bastard wasn't even initially trying to be hostile to people.
Don't forget that he's acting purely on instinct while also being this creature who's time on earth should've passed already and when ever he does something it's out of a need to survive, this is why "who will know" is my favorite godzilla music piece
Poor Shin 😢
The potential future mutations were fun
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGamesand even more poorer (I think) Shin Gojira in some concept arts and such he has 8 or was 9 forms the one we saw is the 6th form, his last one is, he became a blob biomass species and start his conquest to the universe and becomes a God.
@@TheGodofChaosItself184
In another piece of concept art, Shin Godzilla sheds its skin and reveales a humanoid feminen figure.
Which is a nice nod to suit mation and is to be expected since Evangelion's creator had a part in creating Shin Godzilla.
Love how after each atomic breath there’s a refrence to the movie, so when Godzilla did the “Ballet” part that was in the actual movie lol
That's a cool touch for the Godzilla fans 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It's his victory dance after driving away King Ghidorah with Rodan's help.
The music kind of hides the sheer coolness that is the sound that the modern movie Godzilla makes while charging up
Rad
The best aspect of Godzilla is that most of them came from different origins we have a frilled shark, reptiles, a giant plant, dinosaurs, god, a manifestation of red dust, an alien and even death incarnate
And each movie takes a different approach he represents a hero for now, anti hero, balance of nature itself, fate, the result of pure hatred, an accident, a reminder of the past, constant guilt, evolution, the first victim, a representation of quantum possibilities, godzilla is just the perfect creature for the impossible
shin is either constant guilt or first victim
Godzilla is just that cool, everyone knows he's the King of the Monsters for a reason.
😎💪🏻
So, a bit of a disclaimer for 1998 Godzilla from the movie, that version is the only one that doesn't have an atomic breath. The fire was from its breath as it was roaring, which then sent some cars flying, a spark happened and ignited the fumes coming from its mouth and the gasoline from the cars. Godzilla from the animted series does have an atomic breath, but its different from the movie version, as its the child of the 98 movie, that fans of the show dubbed Zilla Jr. Cyber Godzilla is the body of the 98 Godzilla that was used to fight Jr in the animated series.
I was looking for this just so no one is confused. Don't know why the original uploader of the animated atomic breath evol made it have actual flames. Heck, there isn't an atomic breath. 1998 just has a powerful breathe; hence, a power breath.
@@Reader999 exactly, cause it's never seen again after that, it's like they didn't try to do anything with it or have it happen again, just that one time and it's not talked about or mentioned again later in the movie.
Where did you see Zilla Jr.?
@@user-ed1mk1ts5q right after 98 (movie) Zilla. The one with green atomic breath, is Zilla Jr. Then after Jr was Cyber Godzilla, which is 98 movie Zilla.
As someone whos been a godzilla super fan since their childhood this does put a smile on my face
Thanos moment
🤗
Minus One, The MonsterVerse films, Shin Godzilla, FInal Wars, and GMK are good entry points for the series.
If you want to check some out.
Its a very beloved franchise even for the stories told often.
Minus One won a oscar recently even.
Would be great to see more of your thoughts on him.
Thanks for the recommendation on where to start 😅
Always love seeing people's reactions to Shin Godzilla's atomic breath. Would highly recommend that movie too.
An absolute thing of beauty. As a massive Godzilla fan I have seen literally every Godzilla bit of content. I adored this one.
I admit, I have a soft spot for 98 Zilla because that's what I grew up seeing. Obviously now a days I have come to love and appreciate the true godzilla. That being said, I still have that soft spot for Zilla. 🥲
Where did you see Zilla here?
@@user-ed1mk1ts5q In his imagination.
bro same!!!
@@user-ed1mk1ts5qZilla is the Japanese Trademark for the 98 Godzilla.
Cause, as Toho and later fans put it "They took the God out of Godzilla."
Actually Godzilla is a series where the variety is appreciated.
As long as either the action or story is good. Godzilla is very flexable.
He can range to horror and action to even comedy kids films.
Also I would love a Godzilla Minus One reaction when its out. It won an Oscar and is a amazing emotional film.
Very meaningful.
Or if you dont want to wait the MonsterVerse and Shin Godzilla are solid pics to.
Just because of this I hope you guys react to some more Godzilla content
This got us the most interested in Godzilla. Even trailers of movies haven't gotten us this interested. It was a really well done video 🤩
So to explain a few things the Godzilla series is separated by era's in particular within certain time periods Godzilla underwent not only design change but personality changes as well. The first Era was the Showa which lasted from 1954-1975 this Godzilla was the more comedic out of the Godzilla's and the source of MANY memes. Godzilla would be defunct for quite a while until rebooted in 1984 and would last until 1995 as the Heisei Era. This is where Godzilla would be a more serious character, and slightly more heroic too as typically his fights more often than not save humanity however he's not purely good as he has been antagonistic quite a few times. We then go to the next Era the Millenium Era where he's a mix between hero and villain as his actions do save humanity but he does for the most part attack humanity and only saves them because another monster happens to fight him. It was typically in the last films of that era he was straight on an antagonist.
Finally we get to a split between Era's, we get the Legendary Pictures Era which features an American Godzilla, and the more wildly accepted over Zilla, the first American major Godzilla. This Godzilla is mostly heroic in that he fights to protect humanity however he doesn't try to stop collateral damage so basically if you're in his fight zone you probably will be killed.
We also get the Reiwa Era Godzilla and unlike the previous Era which is the same Godzilla, generally, throughout this Godzilla is different Godzilla's with different origins. The Godzilla with the split mouth is Shin Godzilla and is considered the most terrifying Godzilla as not only is he pretty much destruction incarnate but he has the scary ability to evolve through stress and had he not been stopped it would've meant the end of Mankind. If you wanna watch Godzilla I would recommend watching starting with the Heisei Era as that's the start of the more serious Era of Godzilla. That being said the Legendary Godzilla Era is also a nice watch if you wanna start that one.
Legendary fights to protect the earth
Not humanity
It seems crazy these differences of Zillas do bring some chills and shivers when hearing them roar 🫠 I can’t imagine what the future holds for the big Kaju in the future of movies or shows for them to shine
E Where did you see Zilla here?
@@user-ed1mk1ts5q I just “Zilla” for short for Godzilla 😅
@@Ghost_R4cc00n
They’ve been spamming this same sentence for a lot of the comments here.
Don’t bother replying.
@@AlexThat200 oh thanks for letting me know, as I was feeling it was a troll
You guys should totally watch Godzilla Minus One (ironically not featured in this compilation lol). It’s admittedly in subtitles which I know isn’t generally your guy’s thing but I think it’s better at it then anime cause most of the dialogue is during pretty chill moments so when stuff’s happening that you want to see you aren’t constantly reading while you’re trying to watch it. That said Godzilla Minus One is I think the best Godzilla movie to date and even without Godzilla it’s just a great movie about the effects of war, self worth and the ability for the human spirit to move on from tragedy to find something better.
Zilla (1998) eventually becomes Cyber Godzilla in the 1998 cartoon series. It's also the 2nd Godzilla of that series' parent who becomes conflicted once Cyber Godzilla appears and stops listening to the show's protagonist. The reason why that version of Godzilla was renamed Zilla was due to Toho disliking that version so they bought the rights to it and used it in a fight against Godzilla to make fun of it, lol
Would love a reaction to Shin Godzilla. Its a criticism of the Japanese government honorifics and how long they take to react to things.
Also has great music and gets views for reactions. Solid movie to get into Godzilla.
Or the MonsterVerse.
If you just want action.
React to all Godzilla roars from 1954 to 2023 or make more Godzilla content love Godzilla
Wait till you see Godzilla Minus 1's breath attack. If there's a MUST SEE list of Godzilla movies, I'd argue that these would have to be on it: OG 1954, Godzilla GMK, Final Wars, Shin Godzilla, and Minus One. There's a few more fans could argue to include because of icon foes, but that's definitely the core list.
I would surely love to see more of Godzilla content from you guys, my friends and I really look forward to it :)
Great to see you watching this. Phenomenal reaction video as always. Stay awesome you two.
Amazing job on this reaction keep up the great work this was so cool.
Shin Godzilla is an incredibly good movie and I would highly recommend it.
Hope you watch some of the films. Shin Godzilla and Minus One are def the best films to date.
If you want to learn more lore about Godzilla then wikiziilla is perfect since they cover different characters from the Godzilla franchise.
You should also react to Godzilla Earth vs. Void Ghidorah.
I’d recommend filmcore’s video on king ghidorah’s evolution since he is Godzilla main villian
i told you! THAT VIDEO IS WICKED! i am HAPPY i suggested this video.
I love it guys!!! Blessing.
The reason the 1998 iteration (and its subsequent animated counterparts) look "velociraptor-like" is because the 1998 film was handled by a filmmaker who openly had admitted to disliking the source material, thus not wanting to capture the classic Godzilla design's essence that everyone is familiar with, creating something that is so radically different to the point of unfamiliarity.
Meanwhile, the MonsterVerse design maintains the classic Toho essence while properly upgrading it to look like an actual creature.
That was Godzilla's Victory Dance that I instantly fell in love with as a kid watching Invasion of Astro-Monster.
Looking forward to see more Godzilla
1998 Godzilla was the first one I ever experienced. Plus my love for Dinos it has always been my favorite.
But if you ask any true or series Godzilla fans, it's not a true Godzilla due to the changes & a bunch of other stuff.
Still always love it though.
Godzilla is versatile. He has different origins. An unidentified sea creature, an iguana, a giant plant, fictional dinosaur species, an interdimensional being, a ghost, etc. Godzilla 98 may have gone the iguana route but it's still an iteration of him despite the rebrand post 2004. Especially when Toho themselves still acknowledge him in their anniversaries as a Godzilla.
@@ManSpider92 exactly
Great reaction & observations! And yeah, that Jurassic Park trend was.. just that, a trend XP
Gonna be interesting if this guy comes back and updates it with Minus One's Godzilla. The breath itself isn't that much different from the Monsterverse's beam, especially the Godzilla vs Kong one, but the big difference is when it hits something it's a literal nuke, right down to the mushroom cloud.
Love seeing u guys keep tuning in for contents like this, amazing:D. Also, when does genshin return again?:’))
Hey, guys, I missed you! So glad you're checking out Godzilla stuff now! You can't go wrong with the King of the Monsters!
Shame this didnt have the Godzilla Minus One atomic breath. Because YEESH.
I would adore more Godzilla reactions of any kind to be real.
Idc what it is.
An interesting fact that I don't see anyone commenting so far is that Godzilla aka Gojira are a species not a single entity. It started out as a single entity in the earlier movies, but has since been clarified in the Monsterverse lore to be a species. Currently, most people refer to the species as Gojira and use Godzilla to speak of the Prime Alpha of the species we normally see.
In the 1998 Godzilla movies where the Gojira we see is a female who is looking for a surface nest. Presumably, according to the known lore, she must have been stuck on the surface for some reason and had to find an alternate to nesting in their homeland.
i like how yall kept track of their heights lol
You should react to the MOVIE CLIPS of these atomic breaths as well. This 3d animation with music over the sounds doesn't do them full justice. They look so much more impressive in the actual movies.
Welcome to the Godzilla franchise you two
Hello I am going to explain everything about Godzilla to you guys.
1. That dance you saw was one of the most famous moments of the Franchise. And it’s not ballet.
2. Those two beams you saw from Final Wars Godzilla. One was the regular blue atomic breath and the other was his most deadly attack, “The Red Spiral Ray”. And that monster he blasted was Monster X in which later turned into Keizer Ghidorah.
3. Cyber Godzilla 1998 was actually the original “Zilla” the one that died in the ending of the 1998 film.
4. Shin Godzilla’s attack from his spikes isn’t fireworks but the atomic beam shooting out of his spikes. Pretty OP if you ask me.
5. Finally Godzilla Earth’s attack from his tail is actually “Plasma cutter”.
Also the enemies you saw at the end were King Ghidorah (3-headed dragon), Kiryu (MechaGodzilla 3), Megaguirus (Dragonfly mutant), Gigan (A Cyborg monster) and SpaceGodzilla (The one with spikes on his shoulders).
What a fascinating development, very good and well done Video too.
I wonder what’s for Godzilla?
By the way, did you know that there’s Godzilla Games?
Y'all should react to the other film core animation
My favorite incarnation of Godzilla is in Minus One, he shares similarities to his previous incarnations from the classic movies
Man, godzilla has come a long way, huh? Also at 2:20 that was his victory dance in Invasion of the Astro Monster.
I love Godzilla. I love kaijus in general.
also if you guys look at the final photo of the video on the godzilla's all firing their breath You can see godzilla earth in the back on the upper left firing his blast upward as it comes from the earth hes standing on and up over him
Growing up on the g man is the best childhood ever
Can't wait for the new Godzilla movie.
I love Godzilla my favorite atomic breaths
1. Burning Godzilla 1995
2. Minus One
3. Final Wars
4. Millennium
5. Heisi
The worst ones
1. Zilla 98
2. Hanna-Barbara
3. Return of Godzilla
4. Godzilla 2014
5. Earth
I really liked this reaction, you should also see the evolution of Godzilla enemies, just for fun, like from Mexico.
10:15 That was a wierd breath attack from Godzilla Earth, The tail whip shockwave was a nice touch but what happened with that breath attack? I watched the Godzilla Earth movies not to long ago and its breath attack was pure destruction.
A nice detail at the end is that you can still see that Burning Godzilla still has the thickest beam.
Burning Godzilla's Infinite Heat Ray is the strongest breath weapon any Godzilla has ever had.
Even before he was Burning Godzilla, Heisei Godzilla was still the strongest Godzilla ever (except for Marvel comics Godzilla, because he beat Thor.)
And then theres Minus One Godzilla. Not much special aside from making a nuclear impact, but the way its protrayed makes it so horrific.
Loved this reaction!! Maybe you guys should try and check out some monsterverse movie fight scenes I think you guys would enjoy those A LOT (:
It’s funny that you guys thought that Godzilla could channel different elements based on how some of the attacks appeared. It’s funny because you’re not entirely wrong.
Some versions of Godzilla can attract lightning and absorb electricity to temporarily strengthen themselves, though it doesn’t really give Godzilla electricity powers. The closest we get is the Showa Godzilla gaining the power of magnetism by absorbing a large amount of electricity. The Heisei Godzilla also has a variant of the Atomic Breath knows as the Spiral Heat Ray, which is wrapped in an electrical spiral.
The Hanna-Barbera Godzilla and Shin Godzilla are the only versions that breathe regular fire, though Shin’s becomes a more standard Atomic Breath through a condensation process while Hanna-Barbera simply breathes regular fire in place of a standard Atomic Breath.
While Godzilla has never been shown possessing ice powers (as far as I know), there IS a version of Godzilla that exists solely in “Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion the Movie: The Marvelous Fast ALFA-X That Comes From the Future” known as Snow Godzilla. The only notable thing about this version is that, as the name implies, his skin is permanently covered in snow and his dorsal plates resemble ice crystals. That’s about it. No ice powers to be found.
Godzilla Earth, despite the name, does not posses earth powers. The “wind” breath you saw him use was actually an attack called the Super Oscillatory Wave. By roaring at such a high volume, Godzilla releases a powerful shockwave cone of vibrated air. So it’s kind of like a strong blast of air, only it can crush its target and completely destroy them upon contact. Godzilla Earth can perform another attack in this same vain of powerful air blasts called the Plasma Cutter. Godzilla Earth will swing his tail at supersonic speeds of Mach 3 to 4, releasing a powerful shockwave that can devastate anything within a 600 meter distance.
Looking through your stuff in the background, the thing that made me the most giddy was the RWBY book. Looks like the World of Remnant Companion book?
Which of you is the RWBY fan?
We both are! We've been reacting to it on our other reaction channel where we do more tv shows and movie reactions th-cam.com/play/PLDNhddM5srw_va3Kq1fV5hq0gGA6s9DtB.html&si=P1AgkVIZs-LnRtst. There is our playlist for RWBY reactions in case you're interested 🤗
Please more Godzilla content!!!
6:32 For the 1998 zilla is a mutated marine iguana. But there are TH-cam channel known as Bullets and Blockbusters that tells the story of the complicated roller coaster of a film budget production of the American Godzilla 1994 storyline that got changed over the course of the production.
Where did you see Zilla?
Pls I beg you to consider Vhranos video “all godzillas kill eachother” or something like that, it’s such a good watch
Now this is a song from the movie "Shin Godzilla 2016" from his atomic breath scene.
(WHO WILL KNOW)
If I die in this world
Who will know something of me?
I am lost, no one knows
There's no trace of my yearning
If I die in this world
(But I must carry on)
Who will know something of me?
(Nothing worse can befall)
I am lost, no one knows
(All my fears, all my tears)
There's no trace of my yearning
(Tell my heart there's a hole)
I wear a void
Not even hope
A downward slope
Is all I see
I wear a void
(As long as breath comes from my mouth)
Not even hope
(I may yet stand the slightest chance)
A downward slope
(A shaft of light is all I need)
Is all I see
(To cease the darkness killing me)
If you guys like dinosaurs at all, this same channel does an Evolution of T Rex in movies video as well
it'd be cool if you guys reacted to some Godzilla movies or atleast some fights. Especially from the Monsterverse
Anyone else ever played Godzilla - Destroy all Monsters on Gamecube wayyyyy back in the day? That was a super, super fun game with so many hidden secrets and cool functions hidden in the maps while battling. Was ahead of its time in certain ways for sure.
2:26 Godzilla is doing a victory dance.
Now they need to add Godzilla minus one
Now they have to react to the evolution of king ghidorha, the evolution of mechagodzilla and the evolution of king kong by FilmCore
If you really want to check something out a good starting point are the first 2 movies of the new Monsterverse. I'd recommend watching
1- Kong: Skull Island
2- Godzilla (2014)
Then if you like it follow release order of the next 3 movies
I think everyone here can agree, that we all wanted to see the reactions for Shin Godzilla alone 😂
Japan hated the 1998 American Godzilla. When Tri Star showed the president of Toho the model, he didn't say a single word and just left the building. In Godzilla Final Wars, they instantly kills the 1998 Zilla in one shot. Japan called him Zilla, cause he's not worthy to be called God. Also Japan doesn't consider him as the real Godzilla.
You'd be surprised that all of these Godzilla films are only in Japan. Only Godzilla 1984 and Godzilla 2000 came in the states. Plus it's also his 70th anniversary too. Last year Japan recently released Godzilla Minus One, and became one of 2023's best films of all time. Beating every Hollywood films in the box office.
I thought 1954 (released as King of the Monsters) and Shin got also released in America
There is no Zilla in the video!
Godzilla Earth is possibly the most broken incarnation of Godzilla ever made in terms of the concept of this monster. There's a fan-made animation of Godzilla Earth vs Void Ghidorah. But of course the Godzilla vs King Ghidorah rivalry is a deep dive in its entirety.
Second strongest outside of Godzilla in Hell.
@@rogue_2k374 Oh yeah! I remember watching a vid a couple years back covering that comic!
Godzilla X Kong gave us a new look and atomic breath. It's interesting
The 1998 Godzilla was the first American Godzilla.1954 to 2016 was Japanese Godzilla
I want you to react when he does 1954 - 2024 because my favorite atomic breath is not until 2023's Minus One. The best atomic breath in the entire universe
Oh man! I forgot to comment this on the last video about Pokemon.
Y’all should react to ‘The meaning behind EVERY Pokemon name’ by Lockstin & Gnoggin to get a small introduction to almost all Pokemon naming conventions.
*And then*, may I suggest ‘Every BLANK type Pokemon EXPLAINED’ also by Lockstin & Gnoggin which is a series that explains briefly the gist of all Pokemon in a certain type.
That one starts with Poison Type Pokémon but you can do whichever sounds cooler first. 😅 If y’all want to that is.
Rest in piece heisei Godzillas actor
You guys should react to the evolution of King Kong!
Minus one would literally blow you away 🗿
All the other godzillas are cool but legendary's Godzilla will always be the best and most badass for me
Wow Godzilla got chonky. Thunder thighs 😂
The 98 Godzilla had 3 Simpsons voice actors in it Nancy Cartwright, Hank Azaria, and Harry Shearer
Thing about Godzilla's breath, its pure atomic radiation. Not fire. The red variant is a more powerful version and called the Red Spiral Ray
You guys should watch the newer godzilla movies ( 2014, 2019 and 2021) theyre great.
Film Core. I love this guy and his content. Plus awesome and sweet animations he made. Please check more of them and you will be amazed
You guys should start Monsterverse movie reaction starting from Godzilla 2014.
Best American Godzilla movie and the Monsterverse franchise is still going strong.
Unfortunately this doesn’t include the one from minus one which is the best one so far.
u stil gotta see chin godzilla XD. also do u now get the erb refference of manilla? he litterally called him a Baby XD
Thicc thighs save lives and Godzilla absolutely saves lives with them thighs
Suggestion for fight night Friday. Watch lore accurate Virgil stomps the marvel universe for $50 and some drip by the Russian badger.
You could say that’s a lot of hot breath 😉
Godzilla de gamecube y godzilla de wii deberian de reaccionar a sus personajes
You can hate on me for it, but monster verse Godzilla is just the best. He’s the best one. Second favorite is Godzilla earth and then 1999 millennium Godzilla.
Godzilla is possible the only thing me and my dad bond over and so I’ve watched every single Godzilla movie, show, etc. and he’s just so cool. Monster verse Godzilla is the archetype that when he’s on screen, you just can tell he’s about to whoop some ass. 😂💙
Monster verse Godzilla to me as well took the best of the original and took the best of the 98 American Godzilla and combined them to just make a killing machine that just looks like the king of the monsters.
I love his design in that he actually looks like he has weight to him, and so everything he does feels so magnified, even his atomic breath feels like it just takes so much effort and energy that it has to be super powerful.
I just like when he grins
Unfortunately, when it comes to any long running franchise they all get away from the originally established power levels. Sadly because too many younger audience members are over-saturated with other powerful franchises, they keep pushing the technologal/budget limits to get the spectacle seekers who can and will see something else because it's more "rule of cool".
As an example, Darth Vader was a powerhouse, but then in the videogame error he got a secret apprentice who ripped a Star Destroyer out of orbit. Yet Vader in his suit is supposed to be the second most powerful Sith of all time. Hell, there's one who eats planets and another who is basically just a stronger Palpatine. Or look how much stronger Palpatine got in the Sequels, or Rey being way stronger than Luke was at the same point in their lives... yet per Lucas himself Anakin and Luke Skywalker are the two strongest force users of all time and are their potential was twice that of Palpatine, and Rey is a Palpatine too so should be half as strong.
Or look at Spider-Man, the original Peter Parker is strong but Miles Morales is just as strong but now with additional powers.
Or Human Torch (Fantastic Four) eventually got retconned to being hotter than the Sun. Further originally he would destroy Iceman (from the X-Men), but now Iceman can reach absolute zero, meaning he has infinite energy and thus is stronger than the Human Torch.
Occasionally these power increases are done well and make sense, sadly often they are the selling point and are focused on more than the story/writing/plot/lore. I purposefully included examples of both in the examples above.
There's also an evolution of ghidorah too
All is left is Godzilla Minus One
The Heisei Godzilla (1984-1995), 1 of the most powerful Godzillas (*🥤 count: 1*) went from 80m during ‘84-‘91 to 100m ‘91-‘95. This was partly due how he absorbed so much energy throughout the Heisei series, till he accidentally achieved the Burning form. This was basically his nuclear reactor-like heart going into meltdown. At 1st, he would’ve exploded and taken the Earth with him. Once the military managed to cool him down and bit, he would then go into meltdown. At the same time, the results of the Oxygen Destroyer, the weapon that killed the ‘54 Godzilla (*whom I’ll call Gojira to differentiate*), resurfaced in the form of an anaerobic-thriving Precambrian crustacean colony known as Destoroyah, 1 of the most powerful, most dangerous, and most evil kaiju within the Godzilla franchise. That and LittleGodzilla (*yes, there’s no space*) absorbed enough energy from the same uranium explosion that caused Burning Godzilla to grow into Godzilla Jr.. I won’t go into any further details to avoid possible spoilers, but just know that you’re gonna probably cry. … A lot.
1998 Godzilla, nowadays referred to by fans and (*as of 2004’s Final Wars*) Toho as Zilla, was killed in his movie, along w/ his 200 or so hatchlings. … Except for 1. This would be the friendlier Godzilla (*Zilla Jr.*) in Godzilla: The Animated Series, who, unlike his father, would have actual Atomic Fire Breath, albeit green. He’d eventually face is alien-revived father, now called Cyber Godzilla (*Cyber Zilla*), who now possessed a blue Atomic Fire Breath.
Final Wars Godzilla, despite his slender appearance, is actually one of the most powerful Godzillas to date (*🥤 count: 2*). So powerful that the military had to trapped him in the South Pole’s ice, only for the remainder of said military to release him when aliens tried to invade and control most of Earth’s kaiju, which he either defeated or killed every single one with little effort, all in what might’ve been a condensed span of several hours or a whole day. That monster that he tail slapped was the movie’s final boss, Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah, who’s confirmed to be the strongest of the omnicidal Ghidorah species. Even stronger than the iconic King Ghidorah, who wiped out Venusian civilization, a few thousand years prior, and a portion of the world’s dinosaurs, 130 million years prior. His relative (*son, based on scrapped material*) Desghidorah/Death Ghidorah wiped out Martian civilization and caused the KT extinction that killed the dinosaurs. Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah is on a whole other level, regardless of whether it’s his defense/speed-based Monster X form or his strength-based Keizer Ghidorah form. Godzilla would’ve lost and died had he not received enough energy to revitalize and strengthen himself and ragdoll the 100K metric ton alien dragon and obliterate him with a powerful version of the red version of his more powerful Spiral Breath, the Burning G Spark Breath. Final Wars is a Y2K thrill ride of a movie, it’s 1 of my number 1 favorite Godzilla films, and no one can convince me otherwise. 😅
Shin Godzilla was designed by the same guy who worked on the popular anime (*a favorite of the late, great Robin Williams, RIP*) Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The Netflix anime movie trilogy Godzillas, Godzilla Filius (*a parthogenetic clone of sorts*) and Godzilla Earth (*the original and 1 of the most powerful versions [**🥤 count: 3**]*), are “hyper-evolved plant-based lifeforms.” G Earth basically, when he was 50m tall, killed every kaiju on the planet and forced what was left of humanity and their alien allies to flee Earth. After 2 decades for the survivors, they had no other option but to go back to Earth, which had 20 millennia pass since they left. G Earth had grown into the largest Godzilla to date and terraformed Earth in his image. Like plants but on an exaggerated scale, he can generate electromagnetic energy in the form of his Atomic Breath, Asymmetrically Permeable Shield (*a sort of force field*), Super Oscillatory Wave (*an electrified super roar; the “wind” you saw*), and Plasma Cutter (*that energy blade that shot outta his tail*).
Monsterverse Godzilla (2014-present*) has gone thru a few changes. That new version of the Burning form is more controlled, due to his symbiotic relationship with that version’s Mothra. If she dies near him (*don’t worry, she’s essentially immortal like a phoenix*), she’ll impart her life-force and energy into him. And if he’s already absorbed too much energy to go nuclear on everything (*like the ‘95 Burning form*), he’ll survive, rather than die via explosion. Aside from being another one of the most powerful Godzillas (*🥤 count: 4*), he recently got a power-up in the latest film, Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. This is called Godzilla Evolved. Slimmed down, red dorsal plates, new elbow spikes and thagomizer on the end of his tail, and a magenta Atomic Breath that’s 20x stronger than normal.
Godzilla Aquatilis/Amphibia/Terrestris/Ultima, yet another extremely powerful Godzilla (*🥤 count: 5*), is an apocalyptic-level extra-dimensional version from the Netflix anime Godzilla Singular Point. So far, it’s only had 1 season. If they ever do a season 2, they’re gonna need to do a better job at explaining the theoretical physics in the show. That Red Dust around him is a major part of the show. Cuz you gotta be, like, Rick Sanchez smart to understand what’s being said. The reason that happened was bcuz the development team literally got a guy on the subject who tried to explain 💩 the best he could, but people still barely understood it. 😅 Still a great series, tho.
They honestly NEED to bring his Super Godzilla form. It inspired the crystalline SpaceGodzilla and was featured in the video game of the same name as the form. It appeared before the Burning form and allowed him to take on the likes of Bagan, a kaiju that was repeatedly scrapped for multiple movies, until the Super Godzilla game, a PC game whose name I forget, and the currently running puppet web series Godziban. In the game, Bagan was an ancient alien kaiju god of darkness that got reawakened and genetically modified w/ Godzilla and King Ghidorah’s DNA by some aliens trying to invade Earth. Only after giving Godzilla the DNA of King Ghidorah and acquiring powerful energies was Godzilla able to go into the Super form and take down Mecha-King Ghidorah (*King Ghidorah as a cyborg*) and Bagan’s true form.
