What Godzilla Minus One brought to the table & the dramatic way they brought it, is simply too good for your wild self importance
Yeah so as Evan said, the reason it's called Minus One is because Japan was put down to such a low state after the damage from the war, that it was set to "zero" basically. Then right when they start to rebuild what was lost, Godzilla appears and brings further destruction, setting Japan to an even lower point than after the war, down to "Minus One" or -1.0
@@Ash_Wen-li im ngl its time to stop overhyping that 1954 one, this one def clears it in a ton of ways, u gotta stop using nostalgia alone cause there's no real argument u could use to say 1954 over this godzilla
I'm glad y'all picked up on the "anime time" during the atomic blast. Everyone criticizes Noriko for pushing Koichi instead of both running, but the blast was basically a nuke exploding just a few blocks away. It was a split-second reaction.
@@blacky8987 she was in Shocked then that was a split seconds decision, she wants Koichi to survived because she thinks Koichi needs to redeemed himself
Right?? They forgot about newton's third law. She had to push him hard enough for him to go into that alley way which means equal force back to her. She had no time to get a running start for a tackle.
17:39 - The atomic breath in this version of Godzilla has been equated to the overload of a nuclear reactor. The entire buildup to it has signs. The dorsal fins on his back are like cooling rods that keep his power in check. As they move out, the power starts to build up. He takes in oxygen, an essential fuel for combustion. The ‘rods’ jam back into place, causing a sudden reaction not unlike what happened in Chernobyl. Godzilla forcibly expels the condensed raw power (which seems to briefly damage himself in the process) and the result is a full on nuclear explosion, complete with a mushroom cloud.
I think it was portrayed beautifully this time around. Not sure if anyone else picked up on it, but its the same ability he displayed in GMK; the very first atomic breath he shot was akin to a nuke going off. Not sure if it was nearly as devastating, but the director definitely took the ability used once and formulated it around Godzillas atomic breath.
30:40, I’ve been hearing that because the girl got exposed to Godzillas radiation she had Godzilla cells in her, and that’s why we don’t see any bruises, no cuts none of that. It’s why she is was healed quickly.
It's radiation poisoning...no gray cells...learn a little. Radiation poisoning killed more in Japan than the 2 bombs did After a bomb dropped it rained black.
You can see on her neck though the cells are forming on her. Director said if he makes a sequel he'd have to add a monster fight. Godzilla cells, combining with a human. Set up for Biollante if they do a sequel?
@@DukeCondor The director also said he wants to have an opponent that is alien and part of the original Toho monsters. Ghidorah is potentially the choice, but I do feel like Hedorah would set a rhyme to this series based on science: First movie - nuclear weapons. Just Godzilla. Second movie - pollution. Hedorah shows up and begins feeding on Japans pollution. Third movie - bioengineering and mutations. Biollante takes over the girls body and mind, rising as a protector of Japan.
To fill in for y'all. This is an alternate sort of take of the first Godzilla. Godzilla was supposed to be some sort of monster that lived in the sea by a little island. American nuke tests irradiated him and he became radioactive and angry. In the original some backstory explains that he had a family of other monsters that all died in the bombing so he was angry due to that. The city attack scene reflected a lot of parts from the first Godzilla, like him attacking the train, the reporters and stuff. I loved this movie.
the geniuses at ToHo just went beyond genius level with this; they went god-tier with this Godzilla story! perfect story, perfect writing, perfect acting, perfect music score, perfect effects... THIS is the Godzilla we deserved from the beginning.
Both versions of Godzilla are authentic . Minus One and Shin are basically 1954 Godzilla while Monsterverse is all 3 eras of the old Godzilla vs monsters movies with some old and new mythology . I love both versions though.
I love how the Writers on Japanese Godzilla Films named the Plans on how take Godzilla down, came from their Japanese mythology . Shin Godzilla 2016 - Operation Yashiori ( Beverage that Used by Susanoo to Defeat the 8 Headed Orochi ) Godzilla Minus One 2023 - Operation Wadatsumi ( Dragon, Sea God ) Those Name was Fire Fire 🔥🔥
Definitely the best written Godzilla movie for me in this franchise. I love how this movie is more of a psychological film that focuses on the guy’s failures and mental health as a WWII kamikaze pilot, and how it affected not just him but everyone else around him. Godzilla in his original roots is a radioactive monster who was created from the hardships of nuclear warfare. He only thinks and knows destruction. Also unlike the MonsterVerse movies, the human characters felt very realistic and their dialogue wasn’t corny either, you could actually connect with them. This version of Godzilla was way more menacing and savage than the one from MonsterVerse, since he’s not supposed to be a protector of Earth. Also couldn’t help but play Simon Says in my head every time they played his theme song.
Will never understand comparing Minus one to the Monsterverse, might as well compare Original 1954 to Godzilla vs Megalon, they are two different genres of Godzilla
@@XenoVT You can have a fun/superhero Godzilla film with a campy tone AND have a good story and fun characters. Hell I think Pacific Rim had memorable characters to go along side the amazing monster set pieces.

@swishasweetrold that isn't all of ehat the monsterverse is.

@@DarkninjaGD30monsterverse has creativity that can’t be utilized due to the awful writing of the movies. This movie managed to take PTSD, Grief, and Healing and put it in a Godzilla movie.
Honestly I’d say that this incarnation of Godzilla was not really portrayed as a villain, but more of a revengeful animal who was forced to live as a mutated creature because of the bombs that were dropped in the Bikini Atoll. So it’s more of him being like “tf happened to me?!” And less of him being a true villain. Not only that, but even the beginning was just him being more like an actual animal than villainous.
You worded it great. It’s literally an extremely large super predatory just being agitated and territoria and also so happens to be extremely affected by radiation.
It was common among Japanese to refer to the moment the nukes were dropped as year zero. It was such a monumental moment in their history that it felt like the end and the beginning all at the same time. That's where the minus 1 comes in.
The only way King Kong can beat Godzilla is with some help - an ax, a power glove, etc. One on one with no extra help, Godzilla has been shown to beat Kong. Hell, they had to make Kong be bigger than he ever was traditionally just to even be able to go against Godzilla in the first place.

@@tmac731I’m pretty sure that it’s possible to work through PTSD without being attacked by a giant nuclear reptile. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Godzilla did show up. I’m just saying they’re good characters.

All they need to do is give me a trailer saying Godzilla and release date I was going to go see this movie no matter what even in December....
12:50 "since when" Godzillas always been able to regenerate it's why he's practically bulletproof to anything that gets thrown at him. This is just the first film where we see it happen that fast
True.. this was an All-star Cast in Japanese Industry, Kamiki and Minami-san was a the Perfect cast for The Lead Role, they already have their chemistry on their past Projects , and they are really Japan's Ace Actors of this Generations
In this Godzilla, they're pretty much remaking the 1954 movie… And they did amazingly wonderfully well! Not only the acting but the visual effects got an Oscar for this, that's right Godzilla minus one got an Oscar for visual effects. That means this Godzilla was so good that they had to give it an award at the 70 years you can't even look it up. It was definitely heartwarming. This Godzilla's atomic breath is unstable, he shoots out the nuclear energy. It concentrates in one spot and then boom a nuclear explosion. Godzilla's main purpose is to expand his territory, as well as make the humans pay for using such a tremendous power to hurt the very planet. He calls Home and that made him what he is. This movie is called Godzilla minus one, the Japanese had absolutely nothing after the two bombs hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki... just when they were about to get their life back Godzilla came and then they had less than nothing. He is pretty much the result of the lingering effects of not just World War II, but of the effects the two nuclear bombs had on the country. Also, Godzilla always had regenerative abilities. It may not have shown in the older movies, but the fact that he kept on walking and his body didn't look like they were scars whatsoever that he could heal extremely fast. In fact in Godzilla 2000 they pretty much explain how he was able to heal. The black mark on the women's neck the Director had said it was Godzilla cells
How do people not recognize the nuclear testing effecting Godzilla? They show the us testing weapons literally less than a year after Oppenheimer and we should know history. Crazy
The war ended in 1945 the smaller Godzilla that he saw on Odo island was caught in the July 1946 nuclear test blast at Bikini Atoll that was what mutated him and caused his cells to regenerate leading to his larger size. No sea mine had a blast like Bikini.
The higher ups wanted war. The emperor, despite the popular myth also wanted war. The populace were fooled into believing war was a Good and useful thing.
Operation Crossroads was when the US was testing nuclear bombs at the bikini atoll, a series of islands much closer to Japan than America. IRL it caused mass relocation of residents of the area, with the inability to return due to the fallout, as well as a lot of concerns about radiation spreading in the ocean to Japan. In the movie these series of explosions are what end up mutating godzilla and causing it to rampage across Japan.
The answer to your question about Godzilla’s purpose. Basically wants to destroy and punish humanity. When we first see him in his first form, Godzilla seemed to have contempt for humans but would only attack when provoked. Think of it like a cornered animal protecting his territory. Kind of like how Jason Voorhees and the shark from Jaws does. But once he mutated into his familiar form, his contempt turned into outright hatred and misanthropic. It’s implied that Godzilla blames humanity for his condition. That is why he seems very outlandishly violent and destructive. He wants to punish them for their hubris in a sense. Godzilla was not always seen as a “hero” or “anti-hero.” This went back to his more “villainous” roots. Hope this helped it a bit guys!
I'm what you would call a GODZILLA-HOLIC! I've seen them all and have been watching since childhood! Since seeing this movie, my sons new nickname is Tachibana! That's all I call him now! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
After Shikishima told Akiko he wasn't her father, my best friend who i went and saw it with said out loud in the theater, "you ain't her father but you are her daddy! Man up!'"
Godzilla was based on the US post WW2 above ground nuclear tests in the Pacific. They had to the wrong weather information and the fallout fell onto a fishing vessel from Japan. The sailors made it back and all of them died. Godzilla is an allegory for the bomb. They were paying tribute and reinventing Godzilla as this unknown terror who gets super sized due to being near the atomic blasts.
Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki the director of this film is a big fan of Godzilla, he also featured Godzilla as cameo in "Always: Sunset on Third Street" on 2005 and he is the director of "Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle" which have same design for Godzilla in this film
Godzilla at the start of the move was before he got exposed to radiation. Called godzillasaurus. And his just about ever iteration of Godzilla is able to regenerate fairly quickly.
I may be wrong but Godzilla was first shown to regenerate in Godzilla 2000, it’s actually a major plot point. They alternate between that or just him being thick skinned lol
It hurt when I found out long ago that Shin wouldn’t be continued, but this new version is so worth the pain and the wait. I’m so excited to see what Toho gives us after this. I’ve always despised the American versions and kept waiting for Toho to bless us.
Its defintiely worth a warch but thats cap that its beloved lol . While i do enjoy it when thay movie came out it has the fandom pretty split in half. Half loved it half hated it. There was no imbetween
@@greenkidd529it’s my favorite version of Godzilla and the movie was a bit slow with all the meeting and no clear main character it’s still a good watch
It’s called Godzilla minus 1 because after the war Japan was ground zero trying to rebuild, Godzilla came and brought them down to minus 1. At least that’s what I’ve seen floating around in the Japanese circuit.
Godzilla has Cell Regeneration G1. Its similar to instant regeneration, he can even regenerate from a single surviving cell, took him 5~6 months to fully recover his shape but not completely his bodily function... give him 9 months give or take. Not even all monsters in GMK after reducing Godzilla into a mere heart can fully destroy him. The instance Toho Godzilla ever dies is when he was blown with an "Oxygen Destroyer" and Burning Godzilla as he went into Nuclear Meltdown, not even leaving a single cell as it crumbles into dust.
Y’all it’s 1950…info didn’t travel fast like it does now lol They wouldn’t have been able to sound an alarm ahead enough. Love the reaction too! Best Godzilla movie I’ve seen in a looong time.
In traditional lore, Godzilla was a naturally occurring species until atomic testing mutated him into what we know. so at the beginning that is just him in his natural state being a natural animal. A territorial predator. That is why he showed up, cause Odo island is HIS territory
I'm sorry guys i have to mention and gush about Shin Godzilla. Its a personal favorite and i love that both of these movies show how utterly terrifying Godzilla is. Hope Shin is available sometime
The craziest details about this movie is when the godzilla using the beam inside the city and after that the "kuro no ame" appears just like at the Hiroshima and Nagasaki event. The survivor said that after the nuclear, there was a black rain falling down from the sky.
This movie is basically a remake of the original black and white 1954 Godzilla where he was a villain symbolically representing the Atomic bomb. He was just a random force of nature that wanted to destroy and was defeated in the end. He only became an anime type monster king later
I love how the People got Froze and Amazed while Godzilla Charging his Atomic Breath , like they are watching How Epic this Movie Masterpiece 😂 they really witnessing a History 😂 Btw that ash Rain was really happened in Japan after the Hiroshima Bombing that was called Kuroi Ame ( Black Rain )
She WOULD HAVE been dead. The spot on her neck was organic material from Godzilla. I believe she def died but it attached to her (vlasted off of Zilla by tanks or the beief damage he does to himself with his heat ray) and regenerated her. Or at least saved her. Great reaction with amazing feedback and theories. Bravo.
Here's what'll blow your mind. Godzilla broke into many pieces at the end, but we only saw one piece regenerating and we don't know which piece it was. Does that mean there could be dozens of Godzilla's regenerating from all the peices??
I have a theory why Godzilla crumbled at the end. He's so big that gravity is constantly trying to squish him flat; the only reason he's still alive is that he's regenerating the damange all the time. This also explains why he's so angry (he's in constant pain). When Koinichi blew up his brain, there wasn't anything making Godzilla regenerate fast enough to counteract the effects of gravity.
At 9:20 during the nuke scene that was a nuclear bomb test that irradiated godzilla The war was over It was just a nuke test the Americans were conducting in the pacific newr japan
this is unrelated to this movie but i think you guys would really like the 2008 speed racer movie. It was way ahead of its time but now more people have grown to see it for how beautiful it is.
Godzilla is the embodiment of war. That is why Godzilla comes from the southern sea. The destruction of Tokyo represents the Tokyo Air Raid of March 10, 1945. And the blue ray of light represents the nuclear bomb. Each series has a slightly different meaning for Godzilla, and in the previous Shin Godzilla, it is said to be the embodiment of the grudge spirits of the dead from the war. The last one, in front of the Imperial Palace, is said to be the embodiment of the spirits of the dead, and various lines of dialogue are cited as evidence of this. This time, Godzilla has become a reiteration of the tragedy of war itself, in light of the world situation. Incidentally, Godzilla will never attack the Imperial Palace.
18:48 Radioactive rain; the aftermath of a nuclear explosion, or in this case, atomic breath, and it's definitely NOT something you want to be caught in.
Those trains don't stop on a dime no they don't but in the city with many stops they averaged ten miles an hour as they were designed and built in the 1920's.
Fun Fact: Godzilla always had a healing factor. It's called REGENERATOR G1. But it's hasn't been portray in the Monsterverse yet! It originates from the TOHO Godzilla! Check out the Heisei era for more information on it! It was great to see some version of return.
Godzilla hates humanity so much he risks melting down to keep powering up to kill more... this movie handles so well post war hate from ww2 When asked why a British soldier became friends with his Japanese capture in the 90s he simply said "sometimes the hating...has to stop" Godzilla couldn't stop..and paid for it
i think you guys are the first reactors i've seen that directly saw the stuff i did, specifically the pressures of the ocean beign a genius play to harm godzilla
to pat's point about the humans killing Godzilla, its not the first time. the original godzilla of 1954 had the humans killing him, but a goated movie nontheless

True.. this was an All-star Cast in Japanese Industry, Kamiki and Minami-san was a the Perfect cast for The Lead Role, they already have their chemistry on their past Projects , and they are really Japan's Ace Actors of this Generations
It’s called minus one because Godzilla comes right after the atomic bomb bringing Japan lower than 0 aka minus 1
Post war Japan was Ground 0 to Negative one Real Quick when Godzilla Wrecking Havoc
def one of the best Goijira films ive seen in a while
Is the best
The director confirmed that the black thing on Noriko's neck in the final scene are Godzilla cells and they are the reason she survived.
In this Godzilla, they're pretty much remaking the 1954 movie… And they did amazingly wonderfully well! Not only the acting but the visual effects got an Oscar for this, that's right Godzilla minus one got an Oscar for visual effects. That means this Godzilla was so good that they had to give it an award at the 70 years you can't even look it up. It was definitely heartwarming.
This Godzilla's atomic breath is unstable, he shoots out the nuclear energy. It concentrates in one spot and then boom a nuclear explosion.
Godzilla's main purpose is to expand his territory, as well as make the humans pay for using such a tremendous power to hurt the very planet. He calls Home and that made him what he is. This movie is called Godzilla minus one, the Japanese had absolutely nothing after the two bombs hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki... just when they were about to get their life back Godzilla came and then they had less than nothing. He is pretty much the result of the lingering effects of not just World War II, but of the effects the two nuclear bombs had on the country.
Also, Godzilla always had regenerative abilities. It may not have shown in the older movies, but the fact that he kept on walking and his body didn't look like they were scars whatsoever that he could heal extremely fast. In fact in Godzilla 2000 they pretty much explain how he was able to heal.
The black mark on the women's neck the Director had said it was Godzilla cells
Thanks for covering this, guys! One of my favorite movies.
Pat that was NOT a birthmark on the woman’s neck at the end of the movie 😂. Look again
How do people not recognize the nuclear testing effecting Godzilla? They show the us testing weapons literally less than a year after Oppenheimer and we should know history. Crazy
The war ended in 1945 the smaller Godzilla that he saw on Odo island was caught in the July 1946 nuclear test blast at Bikini Atoll that was what mutated him and caused his cells to regenerate leading to his larger size. No sea mine had a blast like Bikini.
What this movie really made me realize is no matter the people, no one truly wants war. The people of Japan were very much in opposition of the war.
Lol no they weren't. They joined hitler buddy
The higher ups wanted war. The emperor, despite the popular myth also wanted war. The populace were fooled into believing war was a Good and useful thing.
This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction bros! 👍🏿
Operation Crossroads was when the US was testing nuclear bombs at the bikini atoll, a series of islands much closer to Japan than America. IRL it caused mass relocation of residents of the area, with the inability to return due to the fallout, as well as a lot of concerns about radiation spreading in the ocean to Japan. In the movie these series of explosions are what end up mutating godzilla and causing it to rampage across Japan.
The answer to your question about Godzilla’s purpose. Basically wants to destroy and punish humanity. When we first see him in his first form, Godzilla seemed to have contempt for humans but would only attack when provoked.
Think of it like a cornered animal protecting his territory. Kind of like how Jason Voorhees and the shark from Jaws does. But once he mutated into his familiar form, his contempt turned into outright hatred and misanthropic. It’s implied that Godzilla blames humanity for his condition. That is why he seems very outlandishly violent and destructive. He wants to punish them for their hubris in a sense. Godzilla was not always seen as a “hero” or “anti-hero.”
This went back to his more “villainous” roots. Hope this helped it a bit guys!
Its still amusing seeing some dudes secretly get annoyed by the middle dude🤭
I'm what you would call a GODZILLA-HOLIC! I've seen them all and have been watching since childhood! Since seeing this movie, my sons new nickname is Tachibana! That's all I call him now! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tachibana so cool.🎉
How is Shin godzilla? also how are the 3 animated films of Godzilla on netflix ?
@@Oakland510 Shin Godzilla is good! The animated movies were just OK to me.
@@cyndigirl418 thanks! I had all 3 parts of the Netflix animated ones on my watchlist , I’ll skip that and head to shin
Tachibana San was a clutch 🥶🫡
Toho Studio not Toei Animation, Toho has done (all) Godzilla movies from Japan of course😮
I was confused for a bit
The man in the middle is the type of person you would least want to watch a movie with.
After Shikishima told Akiko he wasn't her father, my best friend who i went and saw it with said out loud in the theater, "you ain't her father but you are her daddy! Man up!'"
Godzilla the best damn monster ever! Over 30 films and he still killing it from 1956 to now!
39:29 i really like this part t when they see that she has a actual mark
Godzilla was based on the US post WW2 above ground nuclear tests in the Pacific. They had to the wrong weather information and the fallout fell onto a fishing vessel from Japan. The sailors made it back and all of them died. Godzilla is an allegory for the bomb. They were paying tribute and reinventing Godzilla as this unknown terror who gets super sized due to being near the atomic blasts.
this movie was a perfect love letter to Godzilla and the fans.
Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki the director of this film is a big fan of Godzilla, he also featured Godzilla as cameo in "Always: Sunset on Third Street" on 2005 and he is the director of "Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle" which have same design for Godzilla in this film
Godzilla at the start of the move was before he got exposed to radiation. Called godzillasaurus. And his just about ever iteration of Godzilla is able to regenerate fairly quickly.
I may be wrong but Godzilla was first shown to regenerate in Godzilla 2000, it’s actually a major plot point. They alternate between that or just him being thick skinned lol
This was fire i never noticed what was in her neck
A possible Sequel indeed 😂 G-Cells
It’s called Minus one, because Godzilla attacks Japan after they got nuked. So now they’re starting from less than zero.
It hurt when I found out long ago that Shin wouldn’t be continued, but this new version is so worth the pain and the wait. I’m so excited to see what Toho gives us after this. I’ve always despised the American versions and kept waiting for Toho to bless us.
People forget how tuff Godzilla's scales are & also his healing factor.
please watch shin godzilla now! it is the other super famous beloved modern godzilla
Its defintiely worth a warch but thats cap that its beloved lol . While i do enjoy it when thay movie came out it has the fandom pretty split in half. Half loved it half hated it. There was no imbetween
@@greenkidd529it’s my favorite version of Godzilla and the movie was a bit slow with all the meeting and no clear main character it’s still a good watch
there are plenty of godzilla movies were the humans defeat him
The GMK movie is one of them
What do u mean, "since when". Godzilla always had a healing factor.
哥吉拉細胞在1989年就已經有明確的自我再生修復的因子了 並且具備了極可怕的同化能力 這才是融入白神博士女兒細胞的玫瑰變異成碧奧蘭蒂的原因
不僅是植物 沾染到細胞組織的人類與動物都有被同化的情況
平成時代由於考慮到觀眾的觀看感受 沒有將那些沾染飛濺的哥吉拉血液與皮屑的生物變異的模樣搬上螢幕
I think minus and shin are the only two godzillas to actually show the process of healing I could be wrong
Godzilla minus one is on Netflix and it's in dub, and about her neck it was confirm she got G cells
Badass reaction
It’s called Godzilla minus 1 because after the war Japan was ground zero trying to rebuild, Godzilla came and brought them down to minus 1. At least that’s what I’ve seen floating around in the Japanese circuit.
Godzilla has Cell Regeneration G1. Its similar to instant regeneration, he can even regenerate from a single surviving cell, took him 5~6 months to fully recover his shape but not completely his bodily function... give him 9 months give or take. Not even all monsters in GMK after reducing Godzilla into a mere heart can fully destroy him. The instance Toho Godzilla ever dies is when he was blown with an "Oxygen Destroyer" and Burning Godzilla as he went into Nuclear Meltdown, not even leaving a single cell as it crumbles into dust.
It’s Godzilla Minus 1 because it’s a prequel to Godzilla 0, the original 1950s movie.
why yall dismiss joel like that when he was talking about her neck like yall knew what it was
Y’all it’s 1950…info didn’t travel fast like it does now lol
They wouldn’t have been able to sound an alarm ahead enough.
Love the reaction too! Best Godzilla movie I’ve seen in a looong time.
17:50 People dying
Jerry: That was fire, that was dope!
大音量で見て欲しかった。
日本人として残念です。
いつか大音量で見てくれることを期待します😢
私は大爆発の後に音が消えるのが好きです。
そして大音量のゴジラの声もです。
In traditional lore, Godzilla was a naturally occurring species until atomic testing mutated him into what we know. so at the beginning that is just him in his natural state being a natural animal. A territorial predator. That is why he showed up, cause Odo island is HIS territory
I'm sorry guys i have to mention and gush about Shin Godzilla. Its a personal favorite and i love that both of these movies show how utterly terrifying Godzilla is. Hope Shin is available sometime
The craziest details about this movie is when the godzilla using the beam inside the city and after that the "kuro no ame" appears just like at the Hiroshima and Nagasaki event. The survivor said that after the nuclear, there was a black rain falling down from the sky.
This movie is basically a remake of the original black and white 1954 Godzilla where he was a villain symbolically representing the Atomic bomb. He was just a random force of nature that wanted to destroy and was defeated in the end. He only became an anime type monster king later
I love how the People got Froze and Amazed while Godzilla Charging his Atomic Breath , like they are watching How Epic this Movie Masterpiece 😂 they really witnessing a History 😂
Btw that ash Rain was really happened in Japan after the Hiroshima Bombing that was called Kuroi Ame ( Black Rain )
godzilla not dead he lives on
She WOULD HAVE been dead. The spot on her neck was organic material from Godzilla. I believe she def died but it attached to her (vlasted off of Zilla by tanks or the beief damage he does to himself with his heat ray) and regenerated her. Or at least saved her.
Great reaction with amazing feedback and theories. Bravo.
Here's what'll blow your mind. Godzilla broke into many pieces at the end, but we only saw one piece regenerating and we don't know which piece it was. Does that mean there could be dozens of Godzilla's regenerating from all the peices??
Majin Buu Theory ?
I have a theory why Godzilla crumbled at the end. He's so big that gravity is constantly trying to squish him flat; the only reason he's still alive is that he's regenerating the damange all the time. This also explains why he's so angry (he's in constant pain). When Koinichi blew up his brain, there wasn't anything making Godzilla regenerate fast enough to counteract the effects of gravity.
lol
I think the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests were what inspired Bikini Bottom in spongebob.
I have been looking for it! WHERE DID YOU GUYS GET IT FROM!?
Kong would never stand a chance against a blast that is literally a nuclear bomb
At 9:20 during the nuke scene that was a nuclear bomb test that irradiated godzilla
The war was over
It was just a nuke test the Americans were conducting in the pacific newr japan
this is unrelated to this movie but i think you guys would really like the 2008 speed racer movie. It was way ahead of its time but now more people have grown to see it for how beautiful it is.
That atomic breath was out of this fucking world.
The guy in the middle talks too much
1:48 *Patreon and Chill* that was clean✊😁
She’s now biollante
🤫🤣
bruh, about to turn into Mothra is crazy! 🤣🤣🤣
Godzilla is the embodiment of war. That is why Godzilla comes from the southern sea. The destruction of Tokyo represents the Tokyo Air Raid of March 10, 1945. And the blue ray of light represents the nuclear bomb.
Each series has a slightly different meaning for Godzilla, and in the previous Shin Godzilla, it is said to be the embodiment of the grudge spirits of the dead from the war. The last one, in front of the Imperial Palace, is said to be the embodiment of the spirits of the dead, and various lines of dialogue are cited as evidence of this.
This time, Godzilla has become a reiteration of the tragedy of war itself, in light of the world situation.
Incidentally, Godzilla will never attack the Imperial Palace.
13:29 every goes crazy, except dude on the left is terrified
18:48 Radioactive rain; the aftermath of a nuclear explosion, or in this case, atomic breath, and it's definitely NOT something you want to be caught in.
Those trains don't stop on a dime no they don't but in the city with many stops they averaged ten miles an hour as they were designed and built in the 1920's.
The best GODZILLA movie might i say.
Fun Fact: Godzilla always had a healing factor.
It's called REGENERATOR G1. But it's hasn't been portray in the Monsterverse yet!
It originates from the TOHO Godzilla! Check out the Heisei era for more information on it!
It was great to see some version of return.
Come to think of it, have we ever even seen Monsterverse Godzilla show any visual signs of injury?
@@TherapyGel傳奇系列的哥吉拉仔細觀看 暫停也好 減速也好 14、19、21都有傷痕
最明顯的是21對MG的質子砲 胸部的表皮有嚴重的灼傷 19的時候在基多拉的翼尖閃電擊退哥吉拉表皮也有若干的傷痕（非常不明顯）
@@motestt70711 I have to go back and watch them again. Thank you for pointing those out!
Can't you appreciate it quietly? Can't you understand that you are disturbing other viewers?
It is very disappointing.
Godzilla hates humanity so much he risks melting down to keep powering up to kill more... this movie handles so well post war hate from ww2
When asked why a British soldier became friends with his Japanese capture in the 90s he simply said "sometimes the hating...has to stop"
Godzilla couldn't stop..and paid for it
Gotta watch Shin Godzilla next.
You sank my Godzilla!
i think you guys are the first reactors i've seen that directly saw the stuff i did, specifically the pressures of the ocean beign a genius play to harm godzilla
King Kong ain’t messing with this Godzilla either😂
Definitely should watch Peppermint with Jennifer Garner plus Miss Bala with Gina Rodriguez
to pat's point about the humans killing Godzilla, its not the first time. the original godzilla of 1954 had the humans killing him, but a goated movie nontheless
it called minus one cause japan already at ground zero after the nuke drop and godzilla attack put them at minus one
