Oh if you think that's something, sometime after "Shin Goji Guy", I changed the channel name to just "Gojira Guy" for a long while. I was so glad I changed it from that to Blotzwave, as soon after I did that, I learned of your channel.
@@godzillaminusonehype they are both good but after 2 minuets of thinking I have come to the decicion of godzilla guy is SLIGHTLEY BETTER and possibley my fav godzilla youtuber ever
Average goji fan origin story, I'm getting to introduce my son to him now and it honestly choked me up seeing him get so hyped about my favorite monster
This video brought the biggest damn smile to my face. Speaking also as a long time Godzilla fan who started when the 2014 movie came out, I honestly owe my whole career to Godzilla. I know it sounds stupid to say, but I remember when the movie came out on digital, I started just… editing with it for fun. Then I started making trailers for it, then I expanded to making trailers for other movies which eventually birthed a love for editing and a career that would eventually begin for me. I have a lot to thank for this franchise and it genuinely brings a smile to my face to see that it affected others the same way it did to me.
So, tiny Blotzwave reading Moby Dick is what ended up escalating like a domino into less tiny Blotzwave becoming a Godzilla Fan? Wow, I would never guess that
Same tbh, but it was the one to get me hyperfixated on Godzilla, I was introduced to Godzilla via YT, the Showa movies on Netflix, and Heisei reruns on cable
I remember being afraid of Godzilla from what my mom told me and looking at the posters for the movie. To younger me, it seemed like a unkillable monster. However, one day when i was at my friend's house (who was a Godzilla fan), 2014 was playing on his tv, and it was on the train scene with the MUTO. It interested me not knowing it was a Godzilla movie until Godzilla popped up. But realizing that Godzilla wasn't supposed to scare you (in this movie specifically) and watching him beat up the MUTOs immediately made me fan. The atomic breath scene was peak.
Its great to see how another person became a Godzilla fan, I've been a die hard fan since i was like 3 years old, growing up on the old films on my dads ipad.
3:38 I don't remember when I first saw Godzilla. I recall a shot of Heisei Godzilla and Heisei Ghidorah sizing each other up(Godzilla vs Ghidorah 1991). I’ve been a fan of this character since I was six years old(my dad told me about Godzilla, saying he was the king of the monster). Out of all those years, I can safely say that the character Godzilla has never been more popular than he is now. For the first five decades, he has mostly been a Japanese phenomenon. I have always loved hearing how people become G-fans or fans of tokusatsu(movies made with specific effects), so thank you for sharing. Also, I highly recommend Pacific Rim(2013) if you like the 2014 Godzilla film.
It seems I might be a little older than you because I was already out of high school by the time 2014 came out... but here's my story.... Like you, I was super into "big animals" when I was a kid with a particular fixation on reptiles and dinosaurs. One day when my dad was at a dollar store he saw a VHS in one of those old clam shell cases of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. It was old enough to have the alternate title of "Godzilla vs The Cosmic Monster" on it. I was hooked immediately and had to consume every bit of Godzilla media out there. I'm nearly 30 now and still absolutely obsessed. It brings me so much joy how the legendary films have brought in a new generation of fans to something I was mocked for enjoying growing up.
I been a godzilla fan for a very long time. I remember it started from my interests with dinosaurs then Jurassic park which caused me to discover King Kong to eventually discover Godzilla 1998 and King Kong vs Godzilla. I also remember being really excited to watch Godzilla 2014 that I ran home from school to watch it
You're hitting all the right notes with me. We are scarily similar with Godzilla discovery lol. Godzilla holds the largest nostalgia for me and I would love to get to know more fans of the series that also appreciate monster movies as a whole 😊
Awesome video and deep dive into the history of you becoming a fan bro! Those moby dick films are great, I still gotta see that anime one. Lol at the ending bit too. Man I really wish I went into G2014 not knowing anything, I watched just about every trailer/clip/speculation video etc. that it almost ruined my viewing experience. Still loved the film though and ever since then I only watch the first trailer of any Godzilla film. Terror of Mechagodzilla and Megalon were my first Godzilla films when I was 4 after a friend of the family rented them for me
Hey I'm glad you listened to my whole tale here, thanks! Honestly if you watch the anime one, don't expect a outright book adaptation just set in space, it's got tons of crazy stuff like planetary revolutions and such. Stil awesome, and I love it, just not an outright adaptation is all. Kinda wish I had seen some of trailers beforehand, I can see how you'd watch every one of them, Bryan Cranstons narration over several of them made them so endearing. Terror Of Mechagodzilla is an EXCELLENT start though, wow. It's honestly probably my favorite Showa Era film?
2014 Godzilla was the first Godzilla movie I had seen at the time. Needless to say I fell in love with it. I remember I used to watch it countless times over and over again. To this day it’s my favorite Godzilla movie. Oh yeah it was also my introduction to Elvis
I don’t really remember the first time I saw Godzilla, I think it was either me watching some monster clips on TH-cam and I saw his final wars appearance but most likely it was me going to go see Godzilla 2014 and man I just fell in love with the franchise. Godzilla has done a lot for me with friends, collections and more and I just don’t know how my life would’ve gone without this monster. He’s such an important factor to me and I know no matter what happens I’ll always be a fan of his.
I became a Godzilla fan the same time you did. I heard about Godzilla before a year or two earlier, and my 8 year old self was like, “who is this Godzilla?” I got on the internet and saw some clips from a few films and thought “Godzilla’s pretty cool.” Then the trailer for the 2014 film drops, I see it in the living room on tv, and convince my parents to let me see it. First Godzilla film I have ever seen, I was 9, and I’ve been following the franchise ever since.
I have a massive appreciation for Godzilla 2014. Not only did it introduce me to Godzilla, but it is just an underrated and overlooked movie in general. I could go on for a long time why the movie works so well and point out some of its flaws, but I wouldn't because I don't want to turn this into a whole essay lol. I would even call this the best Monsterverse movie I have ever seen. Happy 10th anniversary to the Monsterverse and one of my favorite Godzilla movies.
For me, when I was three years old, my dad had one of the Showa era Godzilla movies on and I sat down to watch it. I became a big fan. When I was 11 in 2019, I saw the 2019 Godzilla movie with no knowledge of the 2014 movie since at that point, the only Godzilla movies I knew were the ones my dad knew and he doesn't keep up with Godzilla stuff. So then on, I kept track of the new Godzilla movies and caught up with the movies I haven't seen yet. Also Godzilla led me to be a Gamera fan too. Fan of both.
For me as a kid what go me into godzilla were ofc the older movies and it's inspiration being dinosaurs as I was and still am a huge dinosaur nerd and I can gladly relate to this video as a childhood lookback on just the good times and simpler times Thank gou for this video ❤
Godzilla 2014 is my least favorite of the Monsterverse, but also my most respected Kaiju movie ever. It was my informal introduction to Godzilla, with my best friend telling me about it in the third grade when it was releasing, as well as being the movie to jumpstart my love for the kaiju genre, and get me on many different paths. I love this movie, and I especially love what it created. Even if, 10 years later, The Monsterverse is in a VERY different spot, it, and the movie that started it, still holds a special place in my heart Happy Birthday Titanus Gojira. Thank you for sending me down the path of the kaiju fan.
Godzilla 2014 was what pushed me over the edge too man… I remember first seeing a car commercial that was sponsored by the movie, where Godzilla tries to eat a car, but chokes on it because it’s too bulky. He spits it out, and the family drives away. Yes, a car commercial was my first knowledge of Godzilla. Afterwards I began watching videos online for different the films, tribute videos, music videos, stuff like that. And then eventually my mom rented the 2014 film at home… I too have been a Godzilla fan for roughly a decade… And my life is all the better for it. Godzilla 2014 may not be the best Godzilla film ever made, but it definitely holds a soft spot in my heart. Easily top-five of all the Godzilla films Imo.
I cant even remember what made me a godzilla fan The furthest back i can remember is being INSANLEY HYPED about kotm trailers. But ye I LOVE godzilla and just kaiju in general. Long live the king
Godzilla 2014 is a treasure to me. it was one of the first Godzilla movies ive ever seen and I absolutely loved it. it led me to watch most of the other monsterverse movies. Godzilla: king of the monsters, Godzilla vs kong, and recently, Godzilla x kong the new empire. I remember telling all my friends at school about it. really loved and still love this film. happy 10 year anniversary, Godzilla 2014.
So cool. I think my introduction to Godzilla as a whole was my interest in dinosaurs thanks to Jurassic Park and Land Before Time. The first Godzilla movie I saw in theaters was 1998, but the first VHS I had were either Sea Monster or Megalon.
I have been a Godzilla fan for a good chunk of time and it had a great impact on what I like now and it is used as inspirations for stories l Iike to make here and there. My first Godzilla movie was The first American Godzilla movie and my favorite was Godzilla Singular Point.
My journey was very similar: always loved animals, especially interested in dinosaurs & dragons. King Kong 33 hit me hard back in the early 80s ,been hooked ever since😊
2014 was my favorite year ever(even to this date) -I went to L.A. for the first time -I met Optimus & Bumblebee for the first time -My dad & I went to Mazatlan for a race at the beach -Arrow s2 was released -Age of Extinction was released -I got my 1° Laptop -TMNT S3 was also released -TASM 2 -I began & finished to make my first Spider-Man Cosplay -Got 2 Expensive Megabloks Halo sets in Christmas -I got an Optimus Prime Birthday Cake
Bro I was first introduced to the godzilla through 2014 as well, I am glad that someone else share that movie in their heart because they first got hooked because of that movie.
I remember when I became a godzilla fan, I was 3 watching TH-cam videos about JP and godzilla just popped right on to one of the video recommendations and from that point along with watching some old werid godzilla ads, I've started a collection and love for the gman, heck I even had kids with godzill-
15 year old dude here. Believe it or not what got me into the Godzilla franchise was actually the Hanna-Barbera series from 78'. My mom pulled it up when I was 5 and I've been obsessed with godzilla ever since.
The first Godzilla i watched was Godzilla against MechaGodzilla 2002. This holds a special place in my heart. Especially going back and rewatching it. Kiryu will always be the best MechaGodzilla.
I remember little 6 year old me buying godzilla kotm on my tv i liked it but i didn't fall on love then 8 year old me in the pandemic being boerd as hell my dad bought godzilla vs kong on the tv.Then i watchrd it and i loved it godzillas cool kongs cool Godzilla vs kong?? super cool!!
For me, my obsession with Godzilla started with the king of the monsters movie from 2019. I thought it was so cool to see all these varying monsters at such a young age that I even remember doing my own art for these monsters. Granted I didn’t read the reviews but I didn’t care about no reviews. And here I am, 5 years later appreciating what I have done and still do for the big G. Owning an entire collection of kaiju figures I built out of legos, watching all of his movies from the varying years, and I know not many people care about 2019 kotm, but I think it’s fair to be happy for its 5th year anniversary.
I remember watching 2014 as the first ever godzilla movie i had watched. My favorite part was watching the airport scene for the first time. The way he roars, the explosions and people being silenced by a single footstep, its all so cool. I also remember watching the one that has kiryu in it but i dont remember much from it. That and all the other movies made me a Godzilla superfan.
I spent my early years without Godzilla, I heard of him but didn’t care UNTIL I saw some trailers for King Of the Monsters I thought it looked neat, wanted to see it but was too nervous to ask my family because I was worried about seeming weird over suddenly wanting to see a movie in a franchise I showed no interest in. Thankfully my brother said “hey that new Godzilla movie looks cool, wanna go see it” thank god for that
My mom had a vhs of Godzilla 2000 I watched in like 2009, I was 5 at the time and I was already a huge Dinosaur nerd so seeing something that looked like a giant dinosaur that could shoot lasers was so cool to me! Goji2000 is also my favorite design behind LegendaryGoji
For me I grew up with Godzilla as long as I can remember, mostly watching the showa and 2000s Godzilla films, as well as Godzilla vs Destoroyah and SpaceGodzilla. It wasn't until later that I saw the rest of the films. And then even later I saw the Godzilla 2014 film in theaters, which me and my family weren't very fond of at the time.
How I became a transformers fan. It was a someday in 20 something when i found a dvd of a movie named transformers. At the time my stupid child brain didn't know what a transformers was so I popped it in and I was blown away. I though robots that shapeshift into vehicles was cool and I loved the action which eventually led me to pacific rim which led me to godzilla which led to your channel. I started watching your channel about two months ago when I found your "Research can be a great thing ' video and that's how i found your channel and I've been watching you ever sense
Awesome origin story ! For me, my first Godzilla film was Kong Vs Godzilla movie followed up by Kong Skull Island. Then i went on to other things and eventually I recently came across Dhin Godzilla (which i have watched probably 50 times) was a rekindle of my Godzilla interest. Then I went on to watch some of the Showa era movies followed up by the entire Heisei era. And lastly the 1954 Godzilla which was upscaled by Criterion and must say that movie as well has been watched to death.
Around 2015 when I was a wee lad a tv station was playing Godzilla 2014 but I wasn’t interested at first,years later I randomly remembered the movie I watched it again and I that’s how my love of the character began
The reason I love Monarch (the show) is cuz' it explores timelines that came from Godzilla and a few other titans as well, and the way they were able to construct the bridge scene with Godzilla again was truly epic, more people should watch the show, it explores a lot of variety.
My first Godzilla exposure was… I don’t remember… But I definitely remember I was drawn to it because I watched power rangers on Netflix when I was younger. My first Godzilla film I watched was Godzilla vs Gigan, and I didn’t stop there. I’m now a huge Kaiju fan and am a fan of other Toku series such as Ultraman, Gamera, and Kamen Rider.
i had a similar thing going, i learned about sharks as a toddler, watched jaws and loved it, then learnt about how the t rex had a stronger bite than the great white, found it cool then watched jurassic park, then found godzilla because i saw godzilla as laser shooting dinosaur and ever since then i have loved dinosaurs, sharks, and kaiju
I'm a teen (13) and my dad introduced me to Godzilla in 2019 when KoTM came out. Since then I have been a devoted fan of the franchise. And it remains my second favorite Godzilla movie even though the humans sucked, I just loved it so much I did not care.
Godzilla 2014 not only got me into Godzilla, but it eventually got me into film as a whole, as well as music which I was already into, but not as much as I am now.
I remember being absolutely alone in being interested in Godzilla at school, damn what a world it is now post 2014, KOTM, Post GVK and POST GXK ESPECIALLY the love for Kaiju has never been stronger felt
A bit of a late bloomer godzilla fan here but I remember back in 2018 my friend showed me godzilla 2014 and coincidences and I right, I become a sort of godzilla fan but I wasn't extremely intrigued just yet because my stupid child brain didn't realize just how spectator the film was, "I still really enjoyed seeing it that first time though" It was only a year later when I went to see KOTM with that same friend and things just took off for me. Today I stand as a proud Godzilla fan for just about 7 years now.
I first saw the 2014 Goji movie when I was really young, but to be honest I had no interest in it whatsoever, but then Godzilla kotm came out I thought that it looked kinda cool, so I saw that movie with my Dad and even though it’s not everyone’s favorite, it’s still one of mine, and it’s also the movie that really inspired me to go watch the other movies, with the first one being Son of Godzilla… so after that trauma, I started watching more of the Showa films and then the Heisie films, and finally I was considering myself a Godzilla fan(and not only that but it was also Godzilla that introduced me to your channel)
The first interaction i had with godzilla was seing clips of final wars and any of the heisei era movies on youtube. After that, once my parents realized that i had taken to worshiping a giant fire breathing lizard as god, they got me to watch the 1999 animated series. And its honestly a really good show.
My parents bought me a set that contained probably about half of the Showa Godzilla movies on DVD, few people have watched Godzilla Raids Again as many times as I have
Man, I remember the first Godzilla movie I ever watched. It was Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 1974. I have never seen anything like that in my life up to that point when I was like 5 years old. Then I bugged my mom and my dad to get me more Godzilla dvds.
I got into godzilla through the 78' animated series but, the few first two godzilla MOVIES that I've actually seen were megalodon and destroy all monsters. (Same night.)
My first introduction to Godzilla was Godzilla (1998) and then Godzilla vs Monster Zero. Been a fan since I first watched him and Rodan fight Ghidorah in space. I gotta say though, Rodan might be my favorite Kaiju besides Godzilla. Hoping he returns in the monsterverse.
Back when i was a child,my dad showed me a godzilla film and if i remember he showed me the 1998 godzilla and then a japan channel my tv had,a movie name godzilla vs mecha king ghidorah was playing unfortunately,i watched a snippit of it,then the 2014 godzilla which was great,and after that the 2016 shin godzilla released on dvd so i watched it and I was EXCITED seeing this godzilla bcs the design looks awesome,to the point at my birthday i got a shin godzilla toy. (to this day i still have the shin godzilla toy) after all that, now as teen i watched kotm,gxk,godzilla minus one,and gxk new empire. thanks to my dad for making me a godzilla fan to this day.
I remember watching the 2014 Godzilla movie for the first time. It was sometime after it had come out, and little 8 year old me was watching cable with my dad. That movie was on and MAN was it amazing. Just as spider-man which i watched in my childhood as well. Anyways i remember being blown away by the train scene where the Muto was on the tracks, And the bridge scene. But i also like i said watched Tasm 1 and 2 in 2012-2015. But my favorite of all was Transformers!
I remember watching a Godzilla music video and I first thought it was weird but when I got older I started to like it so that got me into Godzilla. My dad showed me it btw.
I was watching TV back in the 4th-5th grade when a big monster trailer started playing. “Godzilla: King of The Monsters”. My child brain had only seen dinosaurs previously and to see that thing was just something else.
The only two Godzilla movies I had growing up were the original "King Kong vs Godzilla" and the 98 "Godzilla". I actually hadn't seen the 2014 film onto much later. Despite being an ongoing fan of the monsterverse.
As a kid I use to watch a show called "Creature Double Feature" back in the 1970s and that's where I was introduced to Gamera, then Godzilla, and been watching both ever since.
I remember being in the doctors office on my mom’s phone watching “Shin Godzilla” (not the movie), so then I asked my mom about it, and eventually watched King Kong vs Godzilla. I loved it.
I have been into Godzilla since 1998, only to find out it was actually TriStar's Zilla. Until Godzilla 2000 was the real deal and I became fascinated with Toho's Godzilla throughout the eras when 2004 came to an end. Then the game Godzilla Unleashed sparked my excitement in 2007. Until 2014, his return to the cinemas fueled my hype for Godzilla; and this time, they got the American Godzilla right. I started collecting Godzilla since then. Two years later they made more Godzilla movies in Japan like Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Anime Trilogy, and Godzilla Minus One. Back to the topic, 2014 was the beginning of a new cinematic universe, calling it the MonsterVerse. Even Kong appeared, but more sequels came and my adrenaline fuel just keeps getting higher because of my Godzilla Earth-sized obsession of Godzilla. I collect both the movies and toys as well.
When i was little I was a fan I loved dinosaurs and when my Mom told me to watch a movie with me the movie was Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla 2 and that movie got me instantly hooked
I think I got into Godzilla from watching Tell It Animated's evolution of the guy. 1998 interested me due to his origin of being a mutated iguana, and I asked my buddy, Jesse, about it. He said it was mid, but I still wanted to see it. And so, through buying a DVD and not pirating at all, I watched the movie. I did think it was mid, but it was still a pretty good movie. That movie inspired me to watch all of the monsterverse films, and I even watched the '54 film when it was free on TH-cam. I have now watched 10 Godzilla films, five of which are American, and have been a Godzilla fan for around a year.
great vide-...... "Shin Goji Guy?"...you dare challenge me
Oh if you think that's something, sometime after "Shin Goji Guy", I changed the channel name to just "Gojira Guy" for a long while.
I was so glad I changed it from that to Blotzwave, as soon after I did that, I learned of your channel.
Your battle will be legendary

My dad got me into Godzilla. Started with terror of mechagodzilla, fell in love ever since. W growth all around.
I got in to it the same way lol
I’ve been a Godzilla fan for as long as I can remember. First movie I saw was final wars and fell in love with the franchise ever since.
Oh God I became a fan of Godzilla since like 1996-97 when I got a few of the showa movies on VHS at a garage sale all because he was a dinosaur
nice, mine was Godzilla vs mechagodzilla (the first ever one)
I got Godzilla 2014 as a christmas gift and he was my introduction to the franchise and best believe i inmeadietly got obsessed over him
Average goji fan origin story, I'm getting to introduce my son to him now and it honestly choked me up seeing him get so hyped about my favorite monster
Joke’s on you, 5 year old me spent every week watching Anakin Skywalker commit various war crimes on Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
that show was epic
i relate
Real
For me it was optimus prime in a show called ironically transformers prime
For me it was adventure time and regular show
This video brought the biggest damn smile to my face. Speaking also as a long time Godzilla fan who started when the 2014 movie came out, I honestly owe my whole career to Godzilla.

So, tiny Blotzwave reading Moby Dick is what ended up escalating like a domino into less tiny Blotzwave becoming a Godzilla Fan?
Wow, I would never guess that
2:02
5 year old me watched dinosaur documentaries all day
Godzilla 2014 was the film that made me a fan soooooo relatable origins???
Same
It was 2019 for me
Same tbh, but it was the one to get me hyperfixated on Godzilla, I was introduced to Godzilla via YT, the Showa movies on Netflix, and Heisei reruns on cable
Same here :)
Tbh yeh
when i heard you say “godzilla vs megaguirus” i almost had a panic attack hearing my favorite youtuber talk about my kaiju and my favorite movie.
I remember being afraid of Godzilla from what my mom told me and looking at the posters for the movie. To younger me, it seemed like a unkillable monster.

I can still remember clicking on a video back in the summer of 2014 that said “all Godzilla scenes (2014” and I don’t regret it at all

Hey I'm glad you listened to my whole tale here, thanks!
Honestly if you watch the anime one, don't expect a outright book adaptation just set in space, it's got tons of crazy stuff like planetary revolutions and such. Stil awesome, and I love it, just not an outright adaptation is all.
Kinda wish I had seen some of trailers beforehand, I can see how you'd watch every one of them, Bryan Cranstons narration over several of them made them so endearing.
Terror Of Mechagodzilla is an EXCELLENT start though, wow.
It's honestly probably my favorite Showa Era film?
2014 Godzilla was the first Godzilla movie I had seen at the time. Needless to say I fell in love with it. I remember I used to watch it countless times over and over again. To this day it’s my favorite Godzilla movie. Oh yeah it was also my introduction to Elvis

Godzilla 2014 is my least favorite of the Monsterverse, but also my most respected Kaiju movie ever. It was my informal introduction to Godzilla, with my best friend telling me about it in the third grade when it was releasing, as well as being the movie to jumpstart my love for the kaiju genre, and get me on many different paths. I love this movie, and I especially love what it created. Even if, 10 years later, The Monsterverse is in a VERY different spot, it, and the movie that started it, still holds a special place in my heart
Happy Birthday Titanus Gojira. Thank you for sending me down the path of the kaiju fan.
I was just are kid and my brother put on a video about Godzilla and when i saw it I just kept watching and here i am now
I also thought that the Muto was a Godzilla lol...
Man that's a nice story I actually got to Godzilla by ok let's see why the big dupjos is very beloved and man I enjoyed it
Godzilla 2014 was what pushed me over the edge too man…
I remember first seeing a car commercial that was sponsored by the movie, where Godzilla tries to eat a car, but chokes on it because it’s too bulky. He spits it out, and the family drives away. Yes, a car commercial was my first knowledge of Godzilla.
Afterwards I began watching videos online for different the films, tribute videos, music videos, stuff like that. And then eventually my mom rented the 2014 film at home…
I too have been a Godzilla fan for roughly a decade… And my life is all the better for it. Godzilla 2014 may not be the best Godzilla film ever made, but it definitely holds a soft spot in my heart. Easily top-five of all the Godzilla films Imo.
Godzilla 2014 is also my first introduction to that kaiju and its franchise.
I cant even remember what made me a godzilla fan
The furthest back i can remember is being INSANLEY HYPED about kotm trailers.
But ye I LOVE godzilla and just kaiju in general. Long live the king
Godzilla 2014 is a treasure to me. it was one of the first Godzilla movies ive ever seen and I absolutely loved it. it led me to watch most of the other monsterverse movies. Godzilla: king of the monsters, Godzilla vs kong, and recently, Godzilla x kong the new empire. I remember telling all my friends at school about it. really loved and still love this film. happy 10 year anniversary, Godzilla 2014.
So cool. I think my introduction to Godzilla as a whole was my interest in dinosaurs thanks to Jurassic Park and Land Before Time. The first Godzilla movie I saw in theaters was 1998, but the first VHS I had were either Sea Monster or Megalon.
I have been a Godzilla fan for a good chunk of time and it had a great impact on what I like now and it is used as inspirations for stories l Iike to make here and there. My first Godzilla movie was The first American Godzilla movie and my favorite was Godzilla Singular Point.
My journey was very similar: always loved animals, especially interested in dinosaurs & dragons. King Kong 33 hit me hard back in the early 80s ,been hooked ever since😊
2014 was my favorite year ever(even to this date)
-I went to L.A. for the first time
-I met Optimus & Bumblebee for the first time
-My dad & I went to Mazatlan for a race at the beach
-Arrow s2 was released

Bro I was first introduced to the godzilla through 2014 as well, I am glad that someone else share that movie in their heart because they first got hooked because of that movie.
convinced my family to watch godzilla: king of monsters, we are so impressed that we watched almost all of them now
*GODZILLA IS ALWAYS VALID.*
I remember when I became a godzilla fan, I was 3 watching TH-cam videos about JP and godzilla just popped right on to one of the video recommendations and from that point along with watching some old werid godzilla ads, I've started a collection and love for the gman, heck I even had kids with godzill-
15 year old dude here. Believe it or not what got me into the Godzilla franchise was actually the Hanna-Barbera series from 78'. My mom pulled it up when I was 5 and I've been obsessed with godzilla ever since.
The first Godzilla i watched was Godzilla against MechaGodzilla 2002. This holds a special place in my heart. Especially going back and rewatching it. Kiryu will always be the best MechaGodzilla.
loved the part where godzilla became his new form in godzilla 2014
Happy your a member of our fandom good sir 👍
Imagine if he DID see the first TASM. It's amazing how the smallest change can make the biggest difference.
I remember little 6 year old me buying godzilla kotm on my tv i liked it but i didn't fall on love then 8 year old me in the pandemic being boerd as hell my dad bought godzilla vs kong on the tv.Then i watchrd it and i loved it godzillas cool kongs cool Godzilla vs kong?? super cool!!
For me, my obsession with Godzilla started with the king of the monsters movie from 2019. I thought it was so cool to see all these varying monsters at such a young age that I even remember doing my own art for these monsters. Granted I didn’t read the reviews but I didn’t care about no reviews. And here I am, 5 years later appreciating what I have done and still do for the big G. Owning an entire collection of kaiju figures I built out of legos, watching all of his movies from the varying years, and I know not many people care about 2019 kotm, but I think it’s fair to be happy for its 5th year anniversary.
I remember watching 2014 as the first ever godzilla movie i had watched. My favorite part was watching the airport scene for the first time. The way he roars, the explosions and people being silenced by a single footstep, its all so cool. I also remember watching the one that has kiryu in it but i dont remember much from it. That and all the other movies made me a Godzilla superfan.

You fool, when I was 5 I was watching dinosaurs murder people in the Jurassic Park movies.
I spent my early years without Godzilla, I heard of him but didn’t care UNTIL I saw some trailers for King Of the Monsters
I thought it looked neat, wanted to see it but was too nervous to ask my family because I was worried about seeming weird over suddenly wanting to see a movie in a franchise I showed no interest in. Thankfully my brother said “hey that new Godzilla movie looks cool, wanna go see it”
thank god for that
Where it all started was the trailer for godzilla vs kong
My mom had a vhs of Godzilla 2000 I watched in like 2009, I was 5 at the time and I was already a huge Dinosaur nerd so seeing something that looked like a giant dinosaur that could shoot lasers was so cool to me! Goji2000 is also my favorite design behind LegendaryGoji
For me I grew up with Godzilla as long as I can remember, mostly watching the showa and 2000s Godzilla films, as well as Godzilla vs Destoroyah and SpaceGodzilla. It wasn't until later that I saw the rest of the films.
And then even later I saw the Godzilla 2014 film in theaters, which me and my family weren't very fond of at the time.
Glad to se Godzilla vs Megaguirus get some love
How I became a transformers fan. It was a someday in 20 something when i found a dvd of a movie named transformers. At the time my stupid child brain didn't know what a transformers was so I popped it in and I was blown away. I though robots that shapeshift into vehicles was cool and I loved the action which eventually led me to pacific rim which led me to godzilla which led to your channel. I started watching your channel about two months ago when I found your "Research can be a great thing ' video and that's how i found your channel and I've been watching you ever sense
Beautiful video
Chef kiss
Awesome origin story !
For me, my first Godzilla film was Kong Vs Godzilla movie followed up by Kong Skull Island.
Then i went on to other things and eventually I recently came across Dhin Godzilla (which i have watched probably 50 times) was a rekindle of my Godzilla interest.
Then I went on to watch some of the Showa era movies followed up by the entire Heisei era.
And lastly the 1954 Godzilla which was upscaled by Criterion and must say that movie as well has been watched to death.
Around 2015 when I was a wee lad a tv station was playing Godzilla 2014 but I wasn’t interested at first,years later I randomly remembered the movie I watched it again and I that’s how my love of the character began
The reason I love Monarch (the show) is cuz' it explores timelines that came from Godzilla and a few other titans as well, and the way they were able to construct the bridge scene with Godzilla again was truly epic, more people should watch the show, it explores a lot of variety.
My first Godzilla exposure was… I don’t remember… But I definitely remember I was drawn to it because I watched power rangers on Netflix when I was younger. My first Godzilla film I watched was Godzilla vs Gigan, and I didn’t stop there. I’m now a huge Kaiju fan and am a fan of other Toku series such as Ultraman, Gamera, and Kamen Rider.
I had varios faze's, now, im a gojira fan
i had a similar thing going, i learned about sharks as a toddler, watched jaws and loved it, then learnt about how the t rex had a stronger bite than the great white, found it cool then watched jurassic park, then found godzilla because i saw godzilla as laser shooting dinosaur and ever since then i have loved dinosaurs, sharks, and kaiju
I'm a teen (13) and my dad introduced me to Godzilla in 2019 when KoTM came out. Since then I have been a devoted fan of the franchise. And it remains my second favorite Godzilla movie even though the humans sucked, I just loved it so much I did not care.

My father had me watch a VHS copy of “Godzilla VS Biollante”. *A man of culture*
Godzilla 2014 not only got me into Godzilla, but it eventually got me into film as a whole, as well as music which I was already into, but not as much as I am now.
I remember being absolutely alone in being interested in Godzilla at school, damn what a world it is now post 2014, KOTM, Post GVK and POST GXK ESPECIALLY the love for Kaiju has never been stronger felt
Cool video! I assume the Thumbnail is a reference to the Marvel comic where Godzilla and Spider-Man are in the same panel
A bit of a late bloomer godzilla fan here but I remember back in 2018 my friend showed me godzilla 2014 and coincidences and I right, I become a sort of godzilla fan but I wasn't extremely intrigued just yet because my stupid child brain didn't realize just how spectator the film was, "I still really enjoyed seeing it that first time though" It was only a year later when I went to see KOTM with that same friend and things just took off for me. Today I stand as a proud Godzilla fan for just about 7 years now.
I remember my parents were going out and I was like 3 and they put on Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2 and from there I was addicted
I first saw the 2014 Goji movie when I was really young, but to be honest I had no interest in it whatsoever, but then Godzilla kotm came out I thought that it looked kinda cool, so I saw that movie with my Dad and even though it’s not everyone’s favorite, it’s still one of mine, and it’s also the movie that really inspired me to go watch the other movies, with the first one being Son of Godzilla… so after that trauma, I started watching more of the Showa films and then the Heisie films, and finally I was considering myself a Godzilla fan(and not only that but it was also Godzilla that introduced me to your channel)
The first interaction i had with godzilla was seing clips of final wars and any of the heisei era movies on youtube. After that, once my parents realized that i had taken to worshiping a giant fire breathing lizard as god, they got me to watch the 1999 animated series. And its honestly a really good show.
Shin godzilla guy 9:58
No way that's my channel name 🤓
My first Godzilla film was "The Return of Godzilla" from 1984! I was just 5 when I first watched it & have been a super fan ever since!
My parents bought me a set that contained probably about half of the Showa Godzilla movies on DVD, few people have watched Godzilla Raids Again as many times as I have
im pretty sure Godzilla 2014 was like what really got me into Godzilla himself
hes so cool
Godzilla mentioned
Man, I remember the first Godzilla movie I ever watched. It was Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 1974. I have never seen anything like that in my life up to that point when I was like 5 years old. Then I bugged my mom and my dad to get me more Godzilla dvds.
I got into godzilla through the 78' animated series but, the few first two godzilla MOVIES that I've actually seen were megalodon and destroy all monsters. (Same night.)
My first introduction to Godzilla was Godzilla (1998) and then Godzilla vs Monster Zero. Been a fan since I first watched him and Rodan fight Ghidorah in space. I gotta say though, Rodan might be my favorite Kaiju besides Godzilla. Hoping he returns in the monsterverse.
This guy is who I wanna be ngl
Back when i was a child,my dad showed me a godzilla film and if i remember he showed me the 1998 godzilla and then a japan channel my tv had,a movie name godzilla vs mecha king ghidorah was playing unfortunately,i watched a snippit of it,then the 2014 godzilla which was great,and after that the 2016 shin godzilla released on dvd so i watched it and I was EXCITED seeing this godzilla bcs the design looks awesome,to the point at my birthday i got a shin godzilla toy. (to this day i still have the shin godzilla toy) after all that,
now as teen i watched kotm,gxk,godzilla minus one,and gxk new empire. thanks to my dad for making me a godzilla fan to this day.
My sister showed me a video of godzilla once and i was really into dinosaurs so i thought that was the coolest stuff
I remember watching the 2014 Godzilla movie for the first time. It was sometime after it had come out, and little 8 year old me was watching cable with my dad. That movie was on and MAN was it amazing. Just as spider-man which i watched in my childhood as well. Anyways i remember being blown away by the train scene where the Muto was on the tracks, And the bridge scene. But i also like i said watched Tasm 1 and 2 in 2012-2015. But my favorite of all was Transformers!
I was introduced to godzilla when i was 5 years old and i have been a fan ever since.
I remember watching a Godzilla music video and I first thought it was weird but when I got older I started to like it so that got me into Godzilla. My dad showed me it btw.
I was watching TV back in the 4th-5th grade when a big monster trailer started playing. “Godzilla: King of The Monsters”. My child brain had only seen dinosaurs previously and to see that thing was just something else.
What got me into Godzilla was the 2014 one and the 1998 one.
The only two Godzilla movies I had growing up were the original "King Kong vs Godzilla" and the 98 "Godzilla". I actually hadn't seen the 2014 film onto much later. Despite being an ongoing fan of the monsterverse.
The talk about Godzilla and spider-man along with the thumbnail reminded me of short film I made made only using toys at the time when I was 10
When I was five, if Dad ever caught a Godzilla movie playing, he'd turn the volume up too just enough I could hear the roars. We had good parents.
As a kid I use to watch a show called "Creature Double Feature" back in the 1970s and that's where I was introduced to Gamera, then Godzilla, and been watching both ever since.
I remember being in the doctors office on my mom’s phone watching “Shin Godzilla” (not the movie), so then I asked my mom about it, and eventually watched King Kong vs Godzilla. I loved it.
dinosaurs and godzilla will always be sick as hell
I have been into Godzilla since 1998, only to find out it was actually TriStar's Zilla. Until Godzilla 2000 was the real deal and I became fascinated with Toho's Godzilla throughout the eras when 2004 came to an end. Then the game Godzilla Unleashed sparked my excitement in 2007.
Until 2014, his return to the cinemas fueled my hype for Godzilla; and this time, they got the American Godzilla right. I started collecting Godzilla since then. Two years later they made more Godzilla movies in Japan like Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Anime Trilogy, and Godzilla Minus One.
Back to the topic, 2014 was the beginning of a new cinematic universe, calling it the MonsterVerse. Even Kong appeared, but more sequels came and my adrenaline fuel just keeps getting higher because of my Godzilla Earth-sized obsession of Godzilla. I collect both the movies and toys as well.
Why the thumbnail kinda look fire tho
Ay what’s your favorite Godzilla version?
When i was little I was a fan I loved dinosaurs and when my Mom told me to watch a movie with me the movie was Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla 2 and that movie got me instantly hooked
Godzilla is so much more than just movies
I think I got into Godzilla from watching Tell It Animated's evolution of the guy. 1998 interested me due to his origin of being a mutated iguana, and I asked my buddy, Jesse, about it. He said it was mid, but I still wanted to see it. And so, through buying a DVD and not pirating at all, I watched the movie. I did think it was mid, but it was still a pretty good movie. That movie inspired me to watch all of the monsterverse films, and I even watched the '54 film when it was free on TH-cam. I have now watched 10 Godzilla films, five of which are American, and have been a Godzilla fan for around a year.
