    Just 3 films in a trilogy before the rights revert to Toho? ... does this suggest who's gonna win in Godzilla vs King Kong?

    Is it known if Toho will be starting their new series from scratch, or building on Shin Godzilla?

    Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is another I see pop up a lot on top 10 lists.

    The monster fight are very good but it has a pretty confusing human plot that features time travel

    My favorite is Showa era Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974). It's goofy but I just love the darn thing.


    I also have that Trendmaster's 6" Zilla in my collection. It's a decent figure, and the roar feature still works.

    I actually still have the giant 24" Zilla that was released for a short time, as well as the babies, the better one that kind of scales with the NECA stuff and even a TrU banner.
    I really liked the design even if the movie sucked.

    I'm so enthralled with the Legendary version now that I can't even look at the rubber suit versions and take them seriously. They were fun for their time, and they were a huge part of my childhood, but that time is passed.
    Long live the king!

    Mothra vs Godzilla is hands down my favorite Godzilla film. As for the 92 remake, it's one of the worst in my book. Whereas MvsG was about the greed of man is destroying the environment and how everyone has to work together to succeed, GvsM is just mankind sucks ass because they are destroying the environment and that's it. There's no actual climax to the human plot.

    The only truly outstanding Heisei film is Biollante. King Ghidorah isn't bad, but it's way too convoluted for its own good and the acting is quite pitiful.

    My favorite Millennium film is the first Kiryu one. The Millennium series was a great era of Godzilla films. Sure, Megaguirus is pretty boring and Final Wars is not perfect, but it was a solid era overall as far as experimenting and the effects work was impressive.

    Don’t forget 2000. Good solid movie that one. And one of my favorite Godzilla designs.

    This video pretty much sums up all my feelings on the God-awful anime films:



    Sorry if it's been posted already, but damn it's beat-for-beat my issues to a T.

    :lol  Of course I can't forget about 2000. It's the only Godzilla movie that's English edited version is superior to the Japanese cut. I just wish I could watch it with the Japanese voices.

    My rankings for the Millennium series would go:

    Godzilla Against MechaG
    GMK
    Tokyo SOS
    2000
    Final Wars
    Megaguirus

    As much as I love the Millennium series of Godzilla, the title Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla was always silly to me
    because all I can imagine is Godzilla holding a picket sign protesting MechaGodzilla. That being said, it's still one of my favorite Godzilla movies.

    Godzilla, waving his sign: "Mechagodzilla is unfair! Mechagodzilla is in there! Standing at the concession, plotting his oppression!"

    I think they did that because it was a third movie titled Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla and it was already bad enough when they called the 93 movies MechaGodzilla II even though it had no relation to the Showa movie at all.

    So was the actual Japanese release titled Godzilla against Mechgodzilla or was that just for foreign markets?

    Which sounds like a bad fanfic.

    Godzilla stared wistfully into Kiryu's eyes.
    "I just don't feel the excitement anymore..."
    "Perhaps then..." Kiryu said, docking with his backpack. "We should use toys?"

    Could make it even juicier by making them related. Siblings? parent and offsping? What were we talking about again?

    I did not need to see that...

    As Will Smith said it best, “Oh my god I just got a mental picture! Get out, get out!!!”
