Nah, its the continuity, suit and character designs, likeable characters, enjoyable stories, fun action, etc. that make the Heisei series the best :D

I swear Toho Kingdom's logic when it comes to these films is so absurd. They are all great series

The entire godzilla series has its cast of memorable, likeable characters.

That is true, if one applies the qualifier of "with the main exception being most of the Heisei series". ;)

Early Heisei definitely has its memorable characters. RoG's prime minister, Shiragami, Miki, that damn Saradian agent, Shindo, M11. It undeniably slips as it goes, though.

M-11 and SSS9 aren't memorable for good reasons though. Both cringey Hollywood ripoffs that prove even the early Heisei movies were flawed.

SSS9 is the only reason my older brother watches Godzilla vs Biollante with me. I wouldn't call him in that role cringy.

I got an unpopular opinion. I brought this up before in the Who Hates Heisei thread, but I don't believe it's been done here.

I think Koichi Kawakita is actually a pretty good sfx director. Also, he was a pretty nice dude.

I don't get why everyone hates M-11. Literally one of the best parts of the movie.

I like the cheese factor of M-11. His android running is pretty strange as a visual, but that's exactly why I appreciate it. I don't hate M-11, but I am not a big fan of his actor, due to his associations with the Right in Japan and in general.

We get you hate everything that isn’t Showa but c’mon. There’s plenty and they’ve been stated in this thread already.

I don't hate M-11, he's good for a laugh. But from a critical standpoint, he's one of the weakest parts of GvKG. He's also out of place in what's otherwise a fairly serious Godzilla movie. In fact, he doesn't really have a point in the movie at all. He was clearly thrown in to capitalize on the popularity of the Terminator movies. Hell, they even picked an actor with a passing resemblance to Robert Patrick (T-1000). The "special" effects in every scene with him are laughable and they bring the movie down a notch.

I think he's got a point, seeing as how quick you were to dismiss him.

I rather like Colonel Gondo, but strangely even more so in the dub. Rik Thomas' voice brings out the jaded SDF officer who not so secretly wants to see shit go down.

I like Aoki, because he's such a dweeb. I think there's likeable characters in the Heisei movies, I just prefer the ones in the Showa films.

This isn't unpopular at all. I'm starting to think I'm the only one who likes that movie.
