This video is not very good imo. Please watch the remastered version! It's got a ton of new entries, more up to date information and is over an hour longer than this video (almost three hours). This one also includes topics from the MonsterVerse and actually has decent audio! th-cam.com/video/cf4a9eEgRbk/w-d-xo.html
I really like it when Lovecraft stuff gets referenced or outright gets involved in other things. It makes it still relevant and appreciated despite there being very little done with Lovecraft these days.
@@arthurcaferelli6464 to be fair the fandom itself is very and I mean very massive and I understand with Cthulhu being the first known great old one but it would be cool to see other great old ones and outer gods being referenced. My favourite so far is Herma Mora being inspired heavily on Yog Sothoth and even Baby in Yellow being one of the latest inspiration despite the fact the King in Yellow was done by RW Chambers but still nice that other deities are being used but then a lot of shows than games do better renditions on certain Lovecraft properties
Correction: GMK Godzilla wasn't the embodiment of just Japanese souls, but everybody who died in WWII, particularly neighboring Asian countries who experienced some of Japan's war crimes.
It’s kinda nutty that Marvel had the comic rights to Godzilla, Star Wars, Transformers, Doctor Who, and G.I Joe. Imagine if they somehow kept the rights to all of these IPs into the mid 90’s and when they crossed over with DC, both companies pulled *all* the stops. An insane crossover like that could only exist in comics.
@@Blaze3062 No, that is the context according to the wiki page on Solomon. TH-cam won't let me post the link to it, so I'll just copy and paste what it says. * After clearing a level or defeating a boss with him, a screen will appear with a close-up of him and text below that reads ''STILL THE BEST - 1973''. According to Zach, he has no idea what it means. But according to Cosbydaf, he stated that he also had no idea what it meant, but he added it hoping that it would become a meme.*
He also sucks at research. "Oh there's this topic I'm gonna include but I personally don't care about it so I'll just half-ass the section." Weak af effort. Dude literally said "I WANT to stay ignorant to this." Any human being who WANTS to stay ignorant to ANYTHING is a waste of carbon and water.

I like how your intonation and delivery doesn't make it feel like you finished talking on one subject before cutting away, it adds to the vibe of just passing through deeper and deeper lore on the iceberg
Easily the best Godzilla iceberg on youtube! A good portion of stuff on the iceberg sounded familiar, but that’s just me being a huge Godzilla nerd. I look forward to your future vids, and if you need any more video ideas I recommend a tier list on Godzilla movies, or maybe a small God of War iceberg video!
Thank you for covering the Zilla misconception! To elaborate on it a little more, they mention the 1998 Godzilla having been killed IN Final Wars, meaning the one that the Xiliens used was a different individual of the same species. They also can't retroactively change trademarks, so the creature in that movie can't have its name retroactively changed. You can also play Flash games by installing an older version of Pale Moon browser and disabling updates. That's what I've been using.
heres something else funny early in this year (2022) toho merch with monsters like in pins had godzilla 98 being labeled as well godzilla, they could have easily made it zilla since they own the rights but they did it with godzilla so yeah until this day and age g98 is a weird usually hated take on the king of the monsters
The beauty to Solomon "still the best" screen is that there is NO context in the story it just something that happens not even the main character knows why it happens
I've recently been hoping to find a channel that has good, hour-plus long videos I can play while I'm piddling around the house. Then you come waltzing in with this iceberg series covering superheroes and my beloved Godzilla. Keep up the good work.
Actually, it's never been updated on the Marvel Database, but I believe the Marvel 616 Godzilla somehow survived, returned to a more Heisei-esque design, and shows up in a small cameo with several other giant monsters that attack New York from underground alongside the Mole Man, I just can't remember which comic it was exactly, I'll have to look it up later.
@@Pigpen_YT Lmao, never would've guessed it huh? Actually, I make my own cameo appearance alongside Baka-Shinji, Wondergirl and the Fifth Child in "Edge of Spider-Verse #5", in the same class as Peni Parker no less. There are many other anime and manga references as well to catch throughout that universe.
Stopped by for the Bagan trivia, stayed for the rest. Fun video! Also, sincerely appreciate the respective links in the description, I thought some of the background footage was familiar :) ...Oh right, Bagan was supposed to appear in the GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse book, but because the author was unsure of his copyright status, he got scrapped from that, too.
Appreciate the comment king. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry if you were initially bothered by me using footage. I would’ve used my own but I lack the resources to do so. You’re also extremely good at those games lol. Also wish Bagan was in that book. My man deserves it
Took the words right out of my mouth for the Lioplurodon, Loved walking with dinosaurs and Im 1000% with u on the inspiration theory especially because of the small time gap like you said 👍
Really enjoyed this one, good to have someone adequately deep in the fandom making these videos, not a kid slurring through an iceberg video just for views and having no idea about what he is talking about.
More fun trivia: There is actually a Yu-gi-oh Archetype (I'm are doing this again) named Kaiju (I know original). Their Gimmick is tributing opponents monsters, summoning a Kaiju on your opponent's field, then summoning another Kaiju to your field, and activating effects. Literally no one plays them like this. The monsters are: Dogoran, A dinosaur: Based on Burning Godzilla (Despite the name) with some elements of Destoroyah thrown in Gadarla, A moth: Based on Mothra, Batra, and Megagurius Gameciel, A Turtle: Based on Gamera Jizukiru, a Large metallic thing: Based on legion from Gamera (I Guess?) Kumongous, A spider: Based on Kumonga Radian, A big dude: Based on Dark Lugiel from Ultraman and Thunder king, a three headed dragon: Based on King Ghidorah There is also 2 more, based on MechaGodzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah, with the amazing names of Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran and Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Thunder-King
@@soybeany6721 I don't know if they flatly said it, but numerous monsters and their names do share heavy design inspirations with Godzilla and similar franchises.
Ah, Kaijus. The reason boss monsters just aren't things anymore. Gamera got the shaft, man, his entire purpose in life is to be pooped out on top of whatever monster, then usually rub over as anticlimactically as possible.
11:05 for starters leviathan has a completely different origin to the original marvel godzilla. Leviathan was said to be created in a lab, while marvels godzilla was woken up by atomic bomb testing that created a fissure in the baring sea. So they are most likely completely different monsters.
Red Alone/Jet Jaguar >Jet Alone >Decisive battle >Eva 01/Eva 02/Shin Goji figures An iceberg of all the times evangelion and godzilla jerked eachother off would be fun too
I am halfway through the video, absolutely loving your research and passion for all of those seriously weird Godzilla facts - what a wild ride. I also wanted to say - BAGAN finally got an appearance in official Godzilla media thanks to Godziban! :D
First of all I just have to say, I love how much you went in depth with the topics. I'm a major Godzilla fan and even I was learning things that I have never heard of before. But if there is something that I have to clarify with your video it's that you mentioned that the GMK Godzilla is mainly comprised of the souls of Japanese soldiers from WW2. Well, you're sort of right. In the film it's never specifically stated if it's just Japanese souls or more than just the Japanese soldiers's souls. Either way, amazing video!
Thanks for the Godzilla iceberg. As a german I can confirm: In my childhood all these movies were labeled as Godzilla, King Kong and Frankenstein - independent of the real content of the movie. I have even a DVD labeled 'Godzilla - Monster of Terror' which is a Gamera movie ^^
While I am a big fan of the current Godzilla TH-camrs that are mentioned in this Iceberg, it is a little sad to see the original Godzilla websites get overlooked in here. Stuff like The Rodan's Roost (Kaijuphilia now), and Barry's Temple of Godzilla and TohoKingdom (which still updates daily), were the original big 3 back in the 90's. Ballard's Tokyo Monsters is another. But it is sort of sad to see them get forgotten by the fandom. I remember being in those chatrooms and getting on the old dial up just to spending 5 minutes trying to download 1 new picture of Godzilla that got scanned out of whatever magazine was promoting the new 90's film that was out at the time. :( Dark days of the internet. But there were days that are getting slowly forgotten it seems :(
@@Rodanguirus I've actually just re-gone back to the roost to reread all of C.L's New Era books he wrote. Considering Clint writes professionally with War Hammer novels...those Godzilla fan fics are pretty good. never finished that Deutalios book though :/ Haven't talked to the guy in years. Brandon I chatted with a few years back and found out he had a family with a wife and child that saved him. Which was nice to hear.
@@metoo3342 Anthony has built a working relationship with the company and with a lot of its representatives. He and his staff have gone above and beyond to keep as transparent with the fans and the fandom. And the fact that he has been doing it for almost 2 decades is incredible.
53:02 - 53:47 that's super accurate, i've seen the movie and was legitimately confused by the appearances of Godzilla and the main pilots from Evangelion, i also remember watching some of the actual show and yes... Miku does show up in the anime series as a supporting character
For those who want context for the "still the best" thing the "still the best" image didn't have context to begin with, it just exists in the creepypasta when you beat a level with that character
Absolutely Fascinating documentary!! Thank You for all the research & hard work- You did a GREAT job ( and you're Japanese word & name pronouncing was fine,LOL!)THANKS AGAIN!!!
I love icebergs and I love Godzilla, this is absolutely perfect! You may think you're not good at talking, but you make me so focused on the topic. Keeo it going, man. This video got a subscription from me!
I remember a very long time ago I watched two movies that weren’t very long only being about 20-30 minutes each called Godzilla vs Uncle Sam and Godzilla vs lady liberty (at least that’s what the files were called). The person I got them from told me they were only released in Japan as propaganda films. They didn’t have subtitles so I had no clue what was going on but sure enough Godzilla fought the Statue of Liberty and a guy in an Uncle Sam costume.
I got reminded of dogzilla, honestly thought it was a fever dream I had as a kid. Also godzilla characters in DragonBall is totally believable as DragonBall was extremely comedic and broke the 4th wall multiple times. Ah yhe memories
I'm surprised you didn't mention how the godzilla footage from Always: Sunset On Third Street 2 was used in nearly every Godzilla fan trailer from 2008 to 2013
Gods, now I seriously want a Survival Horror Godzilla Game. Where you're literally just a Civy scrambling to get to safety during one of Big G's Walks then later, Big Battles. Imagine, tremors shake the office building. People run to the windows and look out. There looming is Godzilla in the distance. Everyone runs to the exits but it's too late. Chaos ensues and you spend the rest of the game travelling from building to toppled building. At times you can look outside and see Godzilla or another Kaiju walking or fighting. Maybe even bright Beautiful lights beaming across the night, you look upwards and there is Mothra in all her magnificent Beauty. Other times you're running for dear life on the decimated streets, barreling towards cover as they all battle.
HOLY SHIT, I ACTUALLY HAVE THE GODZILLA TOY AT 1:35:11. I don't have the armor or the box, just the Godzilla. I think my mom got it for me from a garage sale? Nuts.
I always interpreted that King Caesar ability as just legend. But since the aliens didn’t know Godzilla survived the first battle, they interpreted the return as King Caesar’s ability to “bring Godzilla back to life”
The funny and confusing thing about City Shrouded in Shadow is that *NONE* of the monsters, mechs, or heroes actually cross over or interact with each other. Never once does is there ever a moment where Godzilla fights an Eva Unit or Ultraman in it at all, which makes it less of a crossover then it actually is. So yeah, don't expect an Eva vs. Kiryu battle if you're planning on buying the game for that reason.
Excellent video!! 50 yr Godzilla Officianado here. I frown on most vids, but I really enjoyed this. Seriously. This is a work of art in itself. You went above and beyond in your hunt for all of this. Masterclass.
Today, I learned that Godzilla needs to mind his blood sugar, or else he'll die of diabetes. King Ghidora, having learned this, will probably develop the ability to fire diabetes beams from Kevin.
This video is not very good imo. Please watch the remastered version! It's got a ton of new entries, more up to date information and is over an hour longer than this video (almost three hours).

@@DaveMiller6042 Yeah... I always wondered "Why the hell are you attacking Japan!? That's your home! You dumbass!"
“Godzilla shows up and destroys Pompeii” is now one of my top ten favourite sentences
“Godzilla defends the 9/11 monument while being cheered on by children across the globe”
It just gets better
The amount of crazy shit on just the surface of this iceberg really goes to show how batshit the Godzilla franchise is. I love this series.
Minus one! Godzilla and kong! Monarch legacy of monsters!! It's a good time to be a kaiju fan.

The context to that image of still the best is that there is absolutely 0 context to it. Never will be either, and that's what makes it beautiful
I got reminded of dogzilla, honestly thought it was a fever dream I had as a kid. Also godzilla characters in DragonBall is totally believable as DragonBall was extremely comedic and broke the 4th wall multiple times. Ah yhe memories
I'm surprised you didn't mention how the godzilla footage from Always: Sunset On Third Street 2 was used in nearly every Godzilla fan trailer from 2008 to 2013
The forth commercial break has one of the funniest scenes ever 🤣
I fell asleep watching this, so relaxing
1:25:36 That is my new favorite sound ever created from a human being's mouth
I love Super Special Space Godzilla High Grade Type 2
I got my popcorn ready. This is going to be a fun near 2 hour video.
Absolutely loved this video bro, you can talk just fine!
The micro battle portion got me, not only from your comments but also from the monument mythos reference XD
Gods, now I seriously want a Survival Horror Godzilla Game.
Where you're literally just a Civy scrambling to get to safety during one of Big G's Walks then later, Big Battles.
Imagine, tremors shake the office building. People run to the windows and look out. There looming is Godzilla in the distance. Everyone runs to the exits but it's too late. Chaos ensues and you spend the rest of the game travelling from building to toppled building. At times you can look outside and see Godzilla or another Kaiju walking or fighting. Maybe even bright Beautiful lights beaming across the night, you look upwards and there is Mothra in all her magnificent Beauty. Other times you're running for dear life on the decimated streets, barreling towards cover as they all battle.
OMFG, I COMPLETELY FORGOT THE DOGZILLA AND CAT KONG BOOKS EXISTED! THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME!
You should do an Ultraman iceberg if you're interested in that franchise, as there is a decent amount of stuff in it.
The Lore is AMAZING
Its a SHAME that he only has 16k subs should have over 50k at the minimum great TH-camr and I tell you put a lot of dedication in your videos
HOLY SHIT, I ACTUALLY HAVE THE GODZILLA TOY AT 1:35:11. I don't have the armor or the box, just the Godzilla. I think my mom got it for me from a garage sale? Nuts.
Bagan is so strong he scares producers away.
gods godzilla is so obscure your video is the third time i have heard someone talk about it
I always interpreted that King Caesar ability as just legend. But since the aliens didn’t know Godzilla survived the first battle, they interpreted the return as King Caesar’s ability to “bring Godzilla back to life”
“GODZILLA SAYS THAT I SHOULD LEARN TO FIGHT MA OWN BATTLES Y’KNOW?” -Manilla
The funny and confusing thing about City Shrouded in Shadow is that *NONE* of the monsters, mechs, or heroes actually cross over or interact with each other. Never once does is there ever a moment where Godzilla fights an Eva Unit or Ultraman in it at all, which makes it less of a crossover then it actually is.
So yeah, don't expect an Eva vs. Kiryu battle if you're planning on buying the game for that reason.
31:35 Solomon is my favorite fan created kaiju, he’s still the best
"Extremely average RomCom Love Hina" what a statement but you aint wrong
I needed this today thank you pigpen
At first, I didn’t realize that commercial with the female Godzilla was Japanese, so when they started talking, I thought I was having a stroke.
Hell yeah. Needed a video to watch while i cook and you delivered.
Pigpen you gigachad, you mad man. Someone save this man's soul
I wasn't expecting that the first Godzilla film was aired in the Philippines.
I'm pretty sure that they even dubbed in Tagalog.
Excellent video!! 50 yr Godzilla Officianado here. I frown on most vids, but I really enjoyed this. Seriously. This is a work of art in itself. You went above and beyond in your hunt for all of this.
Masterclass.
Today, I learned that Godzilla needs to mind his blood sugar, or else he'll die of diabetes.
King Ghidora, having learned this, will probably develop the ability to fire diabetes beams from Kevin.
Kevin: *vomits rainbows*
Ni: wheeeeEEEEEEEZE-
I got gump scared by that Godzilla endless runer death noise
DOGZILLA was my jam as a kid! I completely forgot about it, thanks for unlocking that memory for me
Thank you, I've been waiting on a video like this
