Fuck it, I'd wager that G'98 was overall better than G'14. Better use of "less-you-see-the-more-you-get" restrained monster shots, better action, better music...even better human characters. Fucking fight me.

Daaaaamn. G98 better than G14.

Why would anyone want to fight a crazy man that thinks this way, nah man, we should fear you if anything.

Lol.

To both 14 and 98's credit they look like real films with real sets versus a lot of recent big budget action and super hero flicks.

Man, real sets. I remember watching behind the scenes footage of Thor: Ragnarok, where a scene that took place in a peaceful mundane meadow, on Earth... turned out to be all 100% green screen. That just blew my mind.

The New York seen in G98 is quite convincing, even in the fast paced helicopter chase. G14 also looks good; The Chinatown scene looks fine right down to the red lanterns.

I prefer ToraGoji over every Heisei suit excluding 84. Not even kidding.

No, but it's up there.

I think if someone said that the G54 movie has no good characters and is slow paced to the point you fell asleep halfway through, and that the suit was ugly would be the most unpopular opinion especially if they say the plot is weak and the actors sucked.

Well...I don't want to say I agree with this assessment, persay, as I do think G'14 has its strengths compared to G'98. But to it's credit, G'98 does indeed have more going for it than many would be willing to concede. I remember a friend of mine once saying that, given the choice, they'd watch G'98 over G'14 for its better use of restrained kaiju shots. I'll just say G'98 and G'14 have their own strengths over one another and leave it at that.
My most wanted fight ever is Discord vs Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.
Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.

There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

Gojira sucks.

No it doesn't but with the way the thread was going I was expecting it.

I do however think Mothra vs Godzilla edges it out.

Thinking about it there was one kid at my school when I was little that lives by G98, GtS and HB Godzilla were much better than kotm and the showa series.

I like Battra more in their original incarnation as a weird obsessive self-declared nemesis of Mothra rather than being a brother or member of same species.

But only one of them has Skeleturtle. And that's all that matters, when you get right down to it.

KotM had the better vocal Godzilla theme.
