Honestly, SpaceGodzilla is a great monster. He just needs to be redesigned so that it doesn't look like his only diet is a McDonald's hamburger.

Spacegodzilla is a rad kaiju buoyed by an average design and name.

That's the same costume they used from 1968 thru '74.
I've always had my doubts considering how dumpy, ugly and badly painted it looks. There are certain cuts back and forth to Angilas during the maser sequence where the two costumes looks nothing alike.

But I've never seen anything about a second Angilas suit being made, so it must be the same one.
Considering the condition the Angurius suit is in by 74 it might have been the same suit. I only said water suit as a joke because of who he looks in the water scenes.

I didn't know how much SpaceG looks like Heisei Godzilla untill I caught a clip of the movie again Yesterday. I knew they were close but the suits are almost twins.

Space Godzilla sucks. It sucks so bad his origin is all over the place.

SG has an awesome design, don't know what everyone is talking about. Especially when in his crystal chasis.

Agreed. If he returns, I honestly would prefer if he looked basically the same but thinner.

I’ll drink to that.

I just think that SpaceGodzilla is so dumb as a concept, and the product just proves it.

I wouldn't be opposed to SpaceGodzilla returning in some form. If Toho can give the likes of Jet Jaguar a nice comeback, SG could be given one as well.

Yeah. Being blatantly ripped off of Supergodzilla really hurts the monster’s concept. You’d think a crystalline lifeform would look a bit more alien.

I don't get the appeal of Space Godzilla. The design is both lazy and ridiculous at the same time, and it stomps all over the design aesthetic the Heisei series was trying to hold on to at the time. It's an inane looking character, with a moronic non-origin, a rip off Gigan roar, and he barely gives Godzilla a tough fight. You never feel like SG put Godzilla's life in danger. It's popularity baffles me.

Everything else you said is personal opinion, and that's fine.. but did you not see him toss Godzilla around like a ragdoll and knock him down with literally one Corona Beam?

Given the short span of time the staff had to make the movie, can't say I blame them. Apparently the Super Godzilla design was very well received, and it could easily be tweaked into an enemy monster, which is how it ended up being used as the base.

Down with Spacegodzilla
Burn it down
Burn it to the ground
Let his ashes go the way of the Biollante spores into space never to be heard from again.

Biollante is NOT Space-dodo-godzilla.

Biollante knew what humanity would turn into and scooted her fat ass off this planet, only stupid thing she did was leave my ass here.

Yeah whatever you say Goji lol

Since we're on the topic of Godzilla clones anyway, i just gotta say: Orga is BY FAR the best of all of them.

Orga was pretty good and very different just a unique kaiju.

There's one thing that puzzled me......how the funk was he going to swallow Goji with them sharp huge ass scutes?

I think he intended to absorb him rather than "swallow" as we understand it.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.
