Monster Discussion #30: Godzilla (1955-1975)

The best Godzilla.

I understand, Godzilla is meant to be a walking nuclear disaster, and barely a temporary ally at best.

Personally i think the human-like intelligence gives the Showa monsters more sympathetic qualities, that and the horrifying thought of sentient daikaiju wanting revenge for being nuked seems interesting.

But I agree that when it comes to portraying what the original intent for Godzilla is, the Heisei Godzilla's animalistic intellect is more proper for the Character as a whole.

It's cool we can find common ground while also disagreeing - and I'd like to clarify that I do love superhero Showa Goji. I love that arc from villain to saviour of the world, and actually the showa era is my favourite in terms of the actual movies. I just think Godzilla in the heisei series does a good job of getting at the core of the character.

True dude, well said.
