I remember in the theater when Godzilla was charging up his atomic breath, and the sound effects in theater were getting louder and louder. It was a insane. Never forget that moment.
Godzilla’s roar hits me straight in my nostalgia nerve I grew up watching classic Godzilla movies and I love these Montervese movies. They generally strike a good balance between the serious contemplative side, and the fun spectacle side of the Godzilla franchise
Godzilla is the keeper of earth's order. He's not so much an ally of humanity as he is an ally of the natural order. Godzilla is an antihero who's goals just happen to be in line with humanity's survival, mostly.
@@tonyyul703 No, correction! That is how THEY say it. That would be like saying their pronunciation of Lonely is correct and it’s actually pronounced RONERY. Nah fam! Nah 😂😂
@@B-DadExcept they created the word. Gojira is a blending of the Japanese words for Gorilla and Whale, and Godzilla is just how the 1950's American production company anglicized it. Gojira is the correct form, Godzilla is the West mangling it to sound cooler.
Something cool about Gareth Edward’s direction is he often tries to put as many of the shots as he can from a human’s POV. So here, Rogue One, and The Creator you see the action from inside vehicles, from inside the masks of the soldiers, from inside buildings etc
Every Godzilla sequel turned into B movie blockbuster with dumb human plot. I don't know why, maybe because of writer for sequels are from B movie background.

Gareth Edwards, the director of this film, got his start in the VFX industry, so the beautiful rendition and composition regarding the CGI is thanks to his strong background and skills to lead a team of artists! His only feature film before this, Monsters (2010), had VFX entirely created by him on commercially available software! He's also set to direct the next Jurassic Park/World movie, which I am so stoked for!
The thing to remember is the radiation is secondary to the size of the explosion. they are not expecting the radiation to kill the targets, but the physical force released. Humans just tend to focus in the radioactive problem from nukes because those are the long tern hazards surviors will have to deal with.
Love this movie! My brother and I saw tgis in thr theater and it was an amazing experience! I liked the exposition on Godzilla, who he is, what he is,, where he came from, why he's here as well as exploring the mythology of the Kaiju.
The coolant towers collapsed making the destruction look greater than it was so a lot of the plant could in theory survive, especially if it is reinforced to survive incidents
Jumping from a Troop transporter doing HALOS is actually real for special operations units. Not everyone can do it...requires special training and equipment.
I love this movie alot from the script, the tension, the especially horror and apocalyptic atmosphere in the third act is tense, and my personal favourite moment is the airport where there's chaos and fear because of the muto and after the Third airplane explosion when Godzilla stomps his foot it gives me chills as the language of the movie just says "SILENCE, the king has arrived" and then the muto makes his challenge roar and then the slow pan up Godzilla building the suspense and then he unleashs his roar showing us the king of kaijus is here and ready to fight to restore the balance, and no matter how many times i see that moment it gives me chills and makes me giggle like a kid 😁😁😁😁😁
One beautiful acting moment that i always appreciated was then Joe's is on the other side of the containment door at the power plant, Sandra knows this is the last moment Joe will ever see her....and she smiles in hopes that that's how Joe will remember her 🥲🥹❤️
Love this one. It was my first Godzilla movie in theaters. Grew up with the franchise and the MonsterVerse became my favorite cinematic universe. Just wait until King of the Monsters
I never get why people think King of the Monsters is better than this. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it also goes down that idiotic marvel route. This one is by far the superior movie.
The people that started this franchise clearly grew up with the same Godzilla I did in the 70's. It's been a wild 10 years as a Godzilla fan to see these movies and Minus One.
This was the first major studio film directed by Gareth Edwards, who went on to direct "Star Wars: Rogue One" and "The Creator" and has now been picked to direct the next "Jurassic Park" movie. Before that, his first real show as a director was the quite decent 2010 movie "Monsters", which is about a world where huge alien monsters (not kaiju size, but still big) have infested the area surrounding the American-Mexican border. It follows two Americans as they re-enter the U.S. from Mexico and was pretty notable for having a budget of just $500K since a lot of specifics were just improvised as the actors and crew were on the road, hiring locals who just happened to be there for smaller roles and often not even bothering getting permits for filming, and Edwards, who had a background as a VFX artist, doing all the special effect shots by himself using off-the-shelf software. Looking back at this movie, I do see a lot of similarities in how it and "Monsters" were filmed, with the slowly building tension, the focus on human relationships in a world being attacked by monsters and treating the monsters with actual respect and fear so they have a lot more impact when they do appear than a lot of blockbusters do now with their animated creatures. I do kind of like the next movie, "King of the Monsters", more as a popcorn movie, but I am starting to appreciate this one more in light of how current blockbusters just take special effects for granted and film so much against huge green screens
The MonsterVerse is the correct way to refer to specifically This film, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Godzilla vs Kong, and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. There's also a TV show on AppleTV called Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
The sound design was amazing when watching this in a theater. Whent he MUTOs make their sounds on the train track, you wanted to crawl up into a ball. When Godzilla roards, you feel the power. At least if you are in a good theater with good speakers. I recently seen Dune Part Two in the theater and the sound and music were so amazing that it makes you emotional.
For context the giant skeleton that they found at the beginning of the movie was Daigon (the last gojira) who got defeated by the M.U.T.O Prime, and the M.U.T.O Prime put eggs in him and those two eggs are the two M.U.T.O.S that are in the movie
Those cylindrical tower of nuclear power plants are basically hollow. They don't hold any equipment above ground. The rest of the machinery is inside incredibly hardened reinforced concrete. They have literally flown jet aircraft into blocks of the building material to test its strength. When the jet hit the block it disintegrated into little pieces of metal confetti. The block was fine.
Well, Godzilla did end up saving the city, but he was more interested in killing the MUTOs to stop them overrunning the planet than specifically saving the humans. He didn't *aim* to kill humans, but he also didn't completely *not* kill humans. I mean yeah he dodged ships and stuff whenever he could, but that tidal wave that killed a lot of people was him (unintentionally, sure, but it was him), and he killed people on the bridge too (though in that case they did shoot first).
I’m glad you really liked the movie. It’s one of my favorite Godzilla movies even with its polarizing reception. Obviously you’re gonna be watching the other movies in the MonsterVerse that come after this one but if you’re interested in some of the other films made by the original creators/owners Toho you can start anywhere since Godzilla has been such a versatile character over the 70 years. Obviously the Original 1954 film is important and if you want some more serious Godzilla movies but have Godzilla as a villain, The original, GMK, Shin Godzilla, and the recent Godzilla Minus One are all standouts. And of course there’s movies where he’s a hero and everything in between. Great reaction video and very insightful commentary
28:00 radiation of the atomic bomb is a side effect not the main mean of destroying, so if Godzila can survive the radiation it dosnt mean it can surveve the blast atleast thats how i look at it
You mentioned how well the animators did making the kaiju emotive, but the sound designers and audio engineers did such an incredible job on giving every Kaiju distinctive sounds that conveys so much emotion and personality.
40:30 unrelated to their ability to make it emote: the beak shape on the mutos is a giveaway that the creature was designed by Amalgamated Dynamics (ADI), which also used it in Starship Troopers and Tremors.
Normally, in Toho's version Godzilla is a vilain, the representation of the atomic bomb made into a creature. Nothing portray that better than the Godzilla Minus One (the movie that came out in december). For Legendary, Godzilla is more of protector of the order of nature. The next movie in your Monsterverse adventure is Kong - Skull Island, amazing reinvention of the King Kong story. (After that it's Godzilla - King of the Monsters and last but not least Godzilla vs Kong). The latest movie Godzilla x Kong - The New Empire is coming out in theaters on March 29th. It's your choice if you want to watch it with us or in theaters.
I wouldn't say "normally". Most of the franchise's history is Godzilla fighting other monsters. There's only a few movies where Godzilla's actually portrayed as the antagonist.
I must admit, 2014 was a rough year for me. It was the year that I lost my dad to a tragedy. So it was a bit painful to see not 1 but 2 movies come out the same year where someone also lost their dad to a tragedy. This movie and How To Train Your Dragon 2.
The reveals in this movie remain sublime. And how the macro action of the kaiju against the human scale? -chef kiss- I love this movie and this isn't my usual fare either.
2014 Godzilla measurements Height: 355 feet Weight: 90,000 tons Tail length: 550 feet, 4 inches Palm measurement: 34 feet 4 inches Foot length: 60 feet, from toe to heel Footprint size: 58 feet across the widest point Number of dorsal plates: 89 lining his back from the back of his head to the tip of his tail Number and size of teeth: 60, with canines each measuring 4 feet long and 2 feet wide Roar volume and radius: 174 decibels with a deafening radius of 3 miles Signature attack: Atomic Breath (concentrated beam of nuclear radiation fired from his mouth)
It’s really crazy that the MUTOs cry when she was seeing her burnt and crispy baby critters was so well designed that it honestly hit me unexpectedly hard in an instinctual place. Monster or no, that was absolutely a horribly grief-stricken mother crying in agony and it HIT.
This film and the titular creature are based on the series of Japanese Godzilla(Gojira) films that started in 1954, which I recommend watching. After this are four films, a Netflix animated series and a live action TV series on Apple TV+. Each film is accompanied by a prequel comic that greatly expands the lore
History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men. If you loved this one, you've gotta see the next one. King of the Monsters is awesome!
I love this movie, it's too dark but doesn't matter, perfect to watch at night Also love the Mutos, specially the male design, my favorite one from all the other kaijus (kinda felt bad for them, just trying to continue their species, cruel yet natural and common) The bus driver was sick, we need to talk more about him bro probably tried to save himself, yet managed to save a whole bunch of kids from being on the bridge that literaly got torn down second after I like to think that Godzilla probably didn't care about humans in this movie yet, but that he was inteligent enough to know that they were helping him, cause in later movies we see him being more careful with ships around him, unlike here where he just pushes them away, and so cause of that him begining to, not trust us but understand that he can do what he has to as the alpha, acept humans help but not threat us, since he later knew what we were capable of, as well as us coming to the same conclusion, a woking yet tense relationship
The bomb was an automatic bomb. It was manual. That's why he was on the boat to detonate it himself. Only way to get a nuc near the mutos. Automatic would have been shut down. EMP was the mutos power.
Also their called Titans in this universe not Kaiju like they normally are called which I kinda like more cause definitely makes them God like calling them titans
I think you misunderstood their comment. They said they preferred the term Titan, which I too think works much better for the monsterverse, as these are for all intents and purposes are primordial gods.
They weren’t expecting the radiation to kill the muto’s, but the sheer force of the explosion. The radiation was just meant to lure them in. The general even says this bomb is at least hundreds of times more powerful than the one they tried to kill Godzilla with before
I LOVE me some Godzilla, my Mom doesn't watch them with me, buuttt my big brother used to take me to all the Monster and Transformer and Fast and Furious movies in theatres. I've seen them all and love them all, and would LOVE it if you watched them all, too, Clariss!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad you liked it and welcome to the monsterverse!!!!!
You aren’t the only one who thinks (especially the legendary rendition) Godzilla is kinda cuddly and cute. Every time my mom sees him she tells me “Godzilla is so cute”
45:20 around: Godzilla is way more clever than most people give him Credit for, mostly his relationship with Miki in the Heisei Movies proved that he understands way more than Humans could possibly ever imagine and I believe that he's on Part with Intelligence with Kong
Love that all the reactor I've watched, have praised the bus driver his one of the MVP in this movie to keep safe the children. For what I have know that is real when they jumped but professionals the one doing that skyscraper thing. Yess Godzilla kinda cute I also thought that I wanna boop his nose I hope u react all the monsterverse since there's a new movie coming😭
A point regarding the nuclear blast. Movie logic is "nuclear weapons use radiation" when in reality a nuclear initiation. Specifically a fusion initiation (as it is a thermal nuclear device) the radiation is a byproduct. What does the damage is the massive shockwave of compressed air and heat. Then there's the hard xrays which to be fair doesn't matter if you eat radiation, we drink water we still get squished when hit by a tsunami, we eat potatoes, doesn't stop a potato launced from a potato cannon taking your head off. Imagine pointing a laser at a plant and expecting it to phogosynthise and not just burst into flames
Something with the actors that played Quicksilver and Wand on Age of Ultron, playing husband & wife here in Godzilla; if you really think about and have the comic knowledge, there is a take/universe where Quicksilver and Wanda are into some “Sweet Home Alabama” stuff👀
Before you watch King of the Monsters, a few tidbits regarding more expanded Godzilla lore. The Big 5 are Godzilla himself, Mothra (his greatest ally), Rodan (sometimes enemy, but usually ally), Ghidorah (his greatest enemy), and MechaGodzilla (another great enemy). King of the Monsters is a love letter to fans of the old rubber suit and puppet movies, often pulling from classic leit motifs for each of the Kaiju/Titans (each one has their own musical theme) and a lot of lore from the old movies. And yes, the Kaiju/Titans absolutely are intelligent, feeling creatures. Their individual personalities get to shine even more as the Monsterverse movies continue.
Great reaction!,..welcome to the monsterverse,..welcome new fan of Godzilla,..your right about the female MUTO having expressions, when she called for help from her mate, ..but the male also had a moment of expression, in Honolulu, when he first sees Godzilla, the military jet is exploding into pieces, bouncing along the tarmac, and as Godzilla walks up, the MUTO realizes, hears him,.swings around, and I swear he has a look of surprise and shock, his jaw drops, he flares out his wings, takes stance, legs spread apart, like some one ready to rumble,.I so love that scene,.both him and Godzilla are sizing each other up,,..and when he charged up, and delivered his atomic breath,.so loved your reaction, knew you'd be surprised, by that, been seeing that since the 1960's, never gets old, always thrilling,..do keep going, enjoy,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
THESE Kaiju (more generally called MUTOs in this universe and,later,Titans) aren't THAT old,they come from before the dinosaurs' era,the Permian period,250 million years ago,although there's still a debate between fans on which source to believe to between all the MonsterVerse content. And the MUTOs could understand what the nuke was and find it easily because it contained their food,radiation,so it only makes sense an animal can smell and locate its food
Highly recommend continuing with Kong: Skull Island! I didn't get around to watching it for the longest time, and then was SO pleasantly surprised when I finally did. Really fun movie!
To answer the radiation question, some fruit like pinapple actually have a reaction to UV. Different kinds of radiation play a huge role in the animal world, we just dont fully understand it. For instance, platypus shows up bluish under a UV light
The one thing that put me offbthis film was how it basically relied on holywood nuclear physics to work. It's like armegedon with astrophysics every few mjnuets it's nope that's not how radiation works, nope that wouldn't happen, nope nope nope. For example the "contaminated zone" after 10 years, all the radioactive iodine would be gone (that decays by half every week) and the caesium would be reduced to about 6% which are the ones that are going to kill you. The isotopes that last 1000s of years... yeah that's no danger A good example of this is the chernobyl exclusion zone. The plant was still operational with the staff living on the outskirts of pripyat until 2005, and people workingbthere until 2016 decommissioning the site. Heck civilians have lived in the zone for nearly 40 years and the place is a nature reserve due animals thriving there
This movie was great and if you go down this rabbit hole just know there is a tv series Monarch that just came out that ties the movies all together. I believe you will enjoy this universe.
HAHO (high altitude high opening) and HALO (high altitude low opening) are two related, but vastly different concepts. HAHO, contrary to popular opinion, is just as dangerous as HALO jumping, and actually requires a different kind of skillset on the part of the operator because you open almost immediately after leaving the aircraft, and you can travel for tens of miles in the air. It's basically extremely complicated hang-gliding with (oftentimes) zero visiblity. HALO is used when you need a quick insertion with minimal time on target. It's just as dangerous, but in a different way. You're traveling at terminal velocity (120+mph) from 30,000 feet and just PRAYING that you don't hit anything on the way down before you open your chutes.
Random thoughts. Military equipment is shielded to EMP blasts like the Muto's used. (nuclear explosions produce the effect) Nuclear material even when shielded produces heat and gamma rays pass through a lot of materials. Funny story from a friend who was an artilleryman in Germany for the US army. There are small scale nuclear artillery shells. To mess with the new guys they would put them in the over overnight so they were warm to the touch like the real ones to scare them. They would also manhandle the crates marked nuclear to mess with the new guys too. You would be surprised just how many nukes have been detonated in history. Two in war yes. 2500+ since they were invented. I suggest watching A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto. It will blow your mind.

Except both Toho and Japan recognize the English pronunciation and spelling officially so both are correct
I always thought that in Kaiju mythology Gojira were the species while Godzilla was the name of a specific Gojira.

At least if you are in a good theater with good speakers. I recently seen Dune Part Two in the theater and the sound and music were so amazing that it makes you emotional.
This Godzilla is like the Earths White blood cell king keeping everything in check😅
That as to be the most accurate analogy I've ever heard....
But not for japanese version
He's the head bouncer of the club called Earth..
"I m so scared that bad thing gonna happen" ahah cute.
23:20 i love how everyone is screaming until Godzilla steps in, completely silent.
I love the optimism
"There's a monster the size of a skyscraper? I'm gonna shoot it!"
For context the giant skeleton that they found at the beginning of the movie was Daigon (the last gojira) who got defeated by the M.U.T.O Prime, and the M.U.T.O Prime put eggs in him and those two eggs are the two M.U.T.O.S that are in the movie
Those cylindrical tower of nuclear power plants are basically hollow. They don't hold any equipment above ground. The rest of the machinery is inside incredibly hardened reinforced concrete.
They have literally flown jet aircraft into blocks of the building material to test its strength. When the jet hit the block it disintegrated into little pieces of metal confetti. The block was fine.
Well, Godzilla did end up saving the city, but he was more interested in killing the MUTOs to stop them overrunning the planet than specifically saving the humans. He didn't *aim* to kill humans, but he also didn't completely *not* kill humans. I mean yeah he dodged ships and stuff whenever he could, but that tidal wave that killed a lot of people was him (unintentionally, sure, but it was him), and he killed people on the bridge too (though in that case they did shoot first).
I’m glad you really liked the movie. It’s one of my favorite Godzilla movies even with its polarizing reception. Obviously you’re gonna be watching the other movies in the MonsterVerse that come after this one but if you’re interested in some of the other films made by the original creators/owners Toho you can start anywhere since Godzilla has been such a versatile character over the 70 years. Obviously the Original 1954 film is important and if you want some more serious Godzilla movies but have Godzilla as a villain, The original, GMK, Shin Godzilla, and the recent Godzilla Minus One are all standouts. And of course there’s movies where he’s a hero and everything in between.
Great reaction video and very insightful commentary
28:00 radiation of the atomic bomb is a side effect not the main mean of destroying, so if Godzila can survive the radiation it dosnt mean it can surveve the blast atleast thats how i look at it
You mentioned how well the animators did making the kaiju emotive, but the sound designers and audio engineers did such an incredible job on giving every Kaiju distinctive sounds that conveys so much emotion and personality.
This was the "Godzilla" I wanted back in 1998.
40:30 unrelated to their ability to make it emote: the beak shape on the mutos is a giveaway that the creature was designed by Amalgamated Dynamics (ADI), which also used it in Starship Troopers and Tremors.
Gareth Edwards is an incredible director! I know you've done Rogue One but you should check out his other films, his latest being The Creator.
YES GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPE YOU WATCH THE REST OF THE MONSTERVERSE MOVIES!
Normally, in Toho's version Godzilla is a vilain, the representation of the atomic bomb made into a creature. Nothing portray that better than the Godzilla Minus One (the movie that came out in december). For Legendary, Godzilla is more of protector of the order of nature. The next movie in your Monsterverse adventure is Kong - Skull Island, amazing reinvention of the King Kong story. (After that it's Godzilla - King of the Monsters and last but not least Godzilla vs Kong). The latest movie Godzilla x Kong - The New Empire is coming out in theaters on March 29th. It's your choice if you want to watch it with us or in theaters.
I wouldn't say "normally". Most of the franchise's history is Godzilla fighting other monsters. There's only a few movies where Godzilla's actually portrayed as the antagonist.
I absolutely loved this in theaters. I grew up with the old Godzilla movies
I remember when I first watched this movie and really loved it! Still do and I'm glad to be watching it!❤
THIS MOVIE WAS A BLAST!
I love that you show the movie while commenting. Some reactors blur the film every few seconds to talk. It gets annoying. Glad I found your channel.
I must admit, 2014 was a rough year for me. It was the year that I lost my dad to a tragedy. So it was a bit painful to see not 1 but 2 movies come out the same year where someone also lost their dad to a tragedy. This movie and How To Train Your Dragon 2.
You are going to LOVE the second Godzilla movie. 😊
Happy to see you reacting to this Godzilla movie I am a massive Godzilla fan.
The reveals in this movie remain sublime. And how the macro action of the kaiju against the human scale? -chef kiss- I love this movie and this isn't my usual fare either.
Ford couldn't stop the bomb at the end, he was just trying to get it as far from the city as possible at that point.
2014 Godzilla measurements
Height: 355 feet
Weight: 90,000 tons
Tail length: 550 feet, 4 inches
Palm measurement: 34 feet 4 inches
Foot length: 60 feet, from toe to heel
Footprint size: 58 feet across the widest point
Number of dorsal plates: 89 lining his back from the back of his head to the tip of his tail
Number and size of teeth: 60, with canines each measuring 4 feet long and 2 feet wide
Roar volume and radius: 174 decibels with a deafening radius of 3 miles
Signature attack: Atomic Breath (concentrated beam of nuclear radiation fired from his mouth)
Yes, please continue your journey through the Monsterverse!
It’s really crazy that the MUTOs cry when she was seeing her burnt and crispy baby critters was so well designed that it honestly hit me unexpectedly hard in an instinctual place. Monster or no, that was absolutely a horribly grief-stricken mother crying in agony and it HIT.
This film and the titular creature are based on the series of Japanese Godzilla(Gojira) films that started in 1954, which I recommend watching. After this are four films, a Netflix animated series and a live action TV series on Apple TV+. Each film is accompanied by a prequel comic that greatly expands the lore
I saw that movie 43 times (for real), it's my 44th and once again I enjoyed it. I wish I had friend, I could watch it with them.
History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men.
If you loved this one, you've gotta see the next one. King of the Monsters is awesome!
Gotta ask, has Tim ever used a creepy Hannibal voice and quoted the movies "Hello Clariss!" Granted its a diffrent spelling in the movie. ^_^
This is my favorite of the monster verse outside of Godzilla Minus 1 which trumps them all!
Nice movie to watch on my birthday 🥳🎂
Happy birthday
@@lucas.2.3.9.4 thanks man 🙏
23:26
People: screaming
Godzilla:
The show ain’t even started yet-
I love this movie, it's too dark but doesn't matter, perfect to watch at night
Also love the Mutos, specially the male design, my favorite one from all the other kaijus (kinda felt bad for them, just trying to continue their species, cruel yet natural and common)
The bus driver was sick, we need to talk more about him bro probably tried to save himself, yet managed to save a whole bunch of kids from being on the bridge that literaly got torn down second after
I like to think that Godzilla probably didn't care about humans in this movie yet, but that he was inteligent enough to know that they were helping him, cause in later movies we see him being more careful with ships around him, unlike here where he just pushes them away, and so cause of that him begining to, not trust us but understand that he can do what he has to as the alpha, acept humans help but not threat us, since he later knew what we were capable of, as well as us coming to the same conclusion, a woking yet tense relationship
The bomb was an automatic bomb. It was manual. That's why he was on the boat to detonate it himself. Only way to get a nuc near the mutos. Automatic would have been shut down. EMP was the mutos power.
Gojira is a territorial creature, and he considers the entire world his territory. We just live in his territory
Also their called Titans in this universe not Kaiju like they normally are called which I kinda like more cause definitely makes them God like calling them titans
Yeah, I prefer Kaiju for them also. Titans is a great name for in universe, but Kaiju just is a better name for monsters.
I think you misunderstood their comment. They said they preferred the term Titan, which I too think works much better for the monsterverse, as these are for all intents and purposes are primordial gods.
Uh... I thought "Kaiju" is a "Titan" name in japanese.
I love the opening credits to this movie the song and clips to go with it hit hard
They weren’t expecting the radiation to kill the muto’s, but the sheer force of the explosion. The radiation was just meant to lure them in. The general even says this bomb is at least hundreds of times more powerful than the one they tried to kill Godzilla with before
Godzilla 2014 is one of the best American Godzilla movies ever made.
I LOVE me some Godzilla, my Mom doesn't watch them with me, buuttt my big brother used to take me to all the Monster and Transformer and Fast and Furious movies in theatres. I've seen them all and love them all, and would LOVE it if you watched them all, too, Clariss!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad you liked it and welcome to the monsterverse!!!!!
You aren’t the only one who thinks (especially the legendary rendition) Godzilla is kinda cuddly and cute. Every time my mom sees him she tells me “Godzilla is so cute”
45:20 around: Godzilla is way more clever than most people give him Credit for, mostly his relationship with Miki in the Heisei Movies proved that he understands way more than Humans could possibly ever imagine and I believe that he's on Part with Intelligence with Kong
Definitely watch the monsterverse. Especially the newly released GODZILLA MINUS ONE which is a standalone Japanese film.
Love that all the reactor I've watched, have praised the bus driver his one of the MVP in this movie to keep safe the children. For what I have know that is real when they jumped but professionals the one doing that skyscraper thing. Yess Godzilla kinda cute I also thought that I wanna boop his nose I hope u react all the monsterverse since there's a new movie coming😭
Im glad you are diving into the Monsterverse, oh and when you do watch Kong Skull Island, make sure to watch til the end, there's a post credit scene
7:21 - I turned a round number this year, and i feel that in my dang *BONES* .
A point regarding the nuclear blast. Movie logic is "nuclear weapons use radiation" when in reality a nuclear initiation. Specifically a fusion initiation (as it is a thermal nuclear device) the radiation is a byproduct. What does the damage is the massive shockwave of compressed air and heat. Then there's the hard xrays which to be fair doesn't matter if you eat radiation, we drink water we still get squished when hit by a tsunami, we eat potatoes, doesn't stop a potato launced from a potato cannon taking your head off.
Imagine pointing a laser at a plant and expecting it to phogosynthise and not just burst into flames
Something with the actors that played Quicksilver and Wand on Age of Ultron, playing husband & wife here in Godzilla; if you really think about and have the comic knowledge, there is a take/universe where Quicksilver and Wanda are into some “Sweet Home Alabama” stuff👀
Before you watch King of the Monsters, a few tidbits regarding more expanded Godzilla lore.
The Big 5 are Godzilla himself, Mothra (his greatest ally), Rodan (sometimes enemy, but usually ally), Ghidorah (his greatest enemy), and MechaGodzilla (another great enemy). King of the Monsters is a love letter to fans of the old rubber suit and puppet movies, often pulling from classic leit motifs for each of the Kaiju/Titans (each one has their own musical theme) and a lot of lore from the old movies.
And yes, the Kaiju/Titans absolutely are intelligent, feeling creatures. Their individual personalities get to shine even more as the Monsterverse movies continue.
Great reaction!,..welcome to the monsterverse,..welcome new fan of Godzilla,..your right about the female MUTO having expressions, when she called for help from her mate, ..but the male also had a moment of expression, in Honolulu, when he first sees Godzilla, the military jet is exploding into pieces, bouncing along the tarmac, and as Godzilla walks up, the MUTO realizes, hears him,.swings around, and I swear he has a look of surprise and shock, his jaw drops, he flares out his wings, takes stance, legs spread apart, like some one ready to rumble,.I so love that scene,.both him and Godzilla are sizing each other up,,..and when he charged up, and delivered his atomic breath,.so loved your reaction, knew you'd be surprised, by that, been seeing that since the 1960's, never gets old, always thrilling,..do keep going, enjoy,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
THESE Kaiju (more generally called MUTOs in this universe and,later,Titans) aren't THAT old,they come from before the dinosaurs' era,the Permian period,250 million years ago,although there's still a debate between fans on which source to believe to between all the MonsterVerse content.
And the MUTOs could understand what the nuke was and find it easily because it contained their food,radiation,so it only makes sense an animal can smell and locate its food
Highly recommend continuing with Kong: Skull Island! I didn't get around to watching it for the longest time, and then was SO pleasantly surprised when I finally did. Really fun movie!
To answer the radiation question, some fruit like pinapple actually have a reaction to UV. Different kinds of radiation play a huge role in the animal world, we just dont fully understand it. For instance, platypus shows up bluish under a UV light
14:17 you described Buddy perfectly 😆
They can’t turn off “the bomb”. They said it was too damaged to work on.
Me waiting for her to react Godzilla king of the monsters 2019 and Godzilla Vs Kong 2021
Grew up watching it and love it
The one thing that put me offbthis film was how it basically relied on holywood nuclear physics to work. It's like armegedon with astrophysics every few mjnuets it's nope that's not how radiation works, nope that wouldn't happen, nope nope nope.
For example the "contaminated zone" after 10 years, all the radioactive iodine would be gone (that decays by half every week) and the caesium would be reduced to about 6% which are the ones that are going to kill you. The isotopes that last 1000s of years... yeah that's no danger
A good example of this is the chernobyl exclusion zone. The plant was still operational with the staff living on the outskirts of pripyat until 2005, and people workingbthere until 2016 decommissioning the site. Heck civilians have lived in the zone for nearly 40 years and the place is a nature reserve due animals thriving there
This movie was great and if you go down this rabbit hole just know there is a tv series Monarch that just came out that ties the movies all together. I believe you will enjoy this universe.
Oh yes Godzilla is a 100% cuddly, he's a very good boy
HAHO (high altitude high opening) and HALO (high altitude low opening) are two related, but vastly different concepts. HAHO, contrary to popular opinion, is just as dangerous as HALO jumping, and actually requires a different kind of skillset on the part of the operator because you open almost immediately after leaving the aircraft, and you can travel for tens of miles in the air. It's basically extremely complicated hang-gliding with (oftentimes) zero visiblity. HALO is used when you need a quick insertion with minimal time on target. It's just as dangerous, but in a different way. You're traveling at terminal velocity (120+mph) from 30,000 feet and just PRAYING that you don't hit anything on the way down before you open your chutes.
Random thoughts.
Military equipment is shielded to EMP blasts like the Muto's used. (nuclear explosions produce the effect)
Nuclear material even when shielded produces heat and gamma rays pass through a lot of materials.
Funny story from a friend who was an artilleryman in Germany for the US army.
There are small scale nuclear artillery shells.
To mess with the new guys they would put them in the over overnight so they were warm to the touch like the real ones to scare them. They would also manhandle the crates marked nuclear to mess with the new guys too.
You would be surprised just how many nukes have been detonated in history.
Two in war yes. 2500+ since they were invented.
I suggest watching A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto.
It will blow your mind.
I've seen all of the old Godzilla movies, and I have to say that the next, King of the Monsters, may be the best of all time.
🎶 awwww noooo. They say it got to go, GO GO GODZILLLA-AAAA-AAAA-A- AAAAAA-A🎶
How many people here said Zilla every time Clariss said OMG? Can’t be the only one
