Lulz. I clearly did not write this.

“I haven't seen the Anime trilogy yet (even though I do have Netflix, so I could watch it whenever I want) but given all that I've heard and read about it, I don't feel particularly inclined to do so. Godzilla being an electromagnetic metallic plant was a big turn-off for me, and I'm honestly surprised that nobody has started calling this one GINO 2.0.

I haven't seen Shin Godzilla either, but I have heard good things about it, and the clips I've seen of his two-minute atomic decimation of Tokyo gave me legitimate chills. I'm just unsure about the dragging political side of it, and I'm not too fond of Godzilla's design in the movie”

You’re judging something before giving it a chance. It may be what some fans cater to, it may not be to others, but not watching it because of opinions and reviews from what others say, or the characteristics and themes prevalent in said films, is silly. I didn’t expect much from Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and I continued lowering my expectations upon reading reviews regarding the film, but I watched it anyway and allowed myself to decide what I thought of the film.

It’s good that Godzilla (2014) helped to make you a Godzilla fan, but what’s the point of embracing as one if not allowing yourself to watch and experience other films of the franchise that contributes to the significance and representations of Godzilla and the occurring events? One never knows what they’re missing out on until they try.

The Hooded Figure I haven't seen the Anime trilogy yet (even though I do have Netflix, so I could watch it whenever I want) but given all that I've heard and read about it, I don't feel particularly inclined to do so. Godzilla being an electromagnetic metallic plant was a big turn-off for me, and I'm honestly surprised that nobody has started calling this one GINO 2.0.

I haven't seen Shin Godzilla either, but I have heard good things about it, and the clips I've seen of his two-minute atomic decimation of Tokyo gave me legitimate chills. I'm just unsure about the dragging political side of it, and I'm not too fond of Godzilla's design in the movie.

2014 was the movie that really cemented my love for Godzilla. It may not be my favorite anymore, but I'll never forget how much it made me feel like Godzilla was a real animal right before my eyes. It made me a G-fan.

As for KOTM...well, first off I do acknowledge that it is a very flawed movie. Taking a few courses in a Communications and Media Arts major helped me see that. Even when I was watching it I was like "Okay, I can definitely see where the critics are coming from. But c'mon, 'cinema is dead'? 'Worse than Russian bots'? 'Crawl is better because it has a cute dog'? For real, critics of the internet?" That being said, for all of the problems I acknowledge it has, I still love the living daylights out of KOTM. It really is more in line with the kind of Godzilla film I've always wanted to see. I for one am excited for Godzilla vs. Kong, and I hope the additional time between now and it's release will give the studio time to iron out the problems KOTM suffered from and give us an A+ movie.

I prefer the anime trilogy. Shin Godzilla is the best Godzilla film of the 2010s, Godzilla (2014) was decent for a Hollywood production, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters was just terrible.

dk Agreed. The only really memorable characters in 2014 were Joe Brody and Serizawa.

For all the problems that KOTM has, at least its characters felt like actual characters as opposed to people that the camera follows around.

It's kind of funny, too. Back when 2014 was released, I actually praised it for not having a Hollywood divorce couple, and I kind of rolled my eyes when I found out that would be a part of KOTM. But then I actually watched the movie and realized, as flawed as it was, I actually liked its story better.

JurassicKaiju14 I enjoyed the bombast of Godzilla 2014 in all its glory but the rest was pretty boring to me. The characters were very forgettable.

@JurassicKaiju14

I actually think Shin works better as a standalone Godzilla film, but that's just me.

I completely agree. Shin Godzilla is a political satire and it made it's point in one movie. I feel like a Shin 2 would be completely unnecessary. 

dk I loved 2014 when it first came out, but it kind of waned after I saw KOTM. I'm always going to remember it fondly, though; I'll never forget the feeling of seeing Godzilla show up at Honolulu, and it felt like I was seeing him for real for the first time in my life.

I have only seen two- 2014 and KOTM.

I found 2014 underwhelming but really enjoyed KOTM.

This list is me in a nutshell in terms of favorites, although I haven't actually seen Shin or the Anime films in full yet.

Also...

"A sequel was one time considered, but Toho decided to scrap it in favor of building a massive Godzilla cinematic universe instead. As disappointed as we were to hear this news - we remain hopeful that Shin-Gojira will see the silver screen at least one more time in the next decade."

I actually think Shin works better as a standalone Godzilla film, but that's just me.

When I was a young kid back in the 70s, they used to air Godzilla movies on Saturday afternoons. I was always fascinated with the look of Godzilla. I also thought his roar was the coolest thing I had ever heard. 

5. Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle

4. Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

3. Godzilla: King of the Monsters

2. Shin Godzilla

1. Godzilla 2014

That's just me personally. The top three are constantly switching around and are very hard to compare (they're pretty different from one another), but that's what I've settled with.

awesome

Thank you for your response, I'm going to buy another one to see if it's better and return this one.

Chapter 46: Destroy All Monsters! Part I

Meanwhile in Japan, sometime before Monster X's return.

G-Force mechanized units retake the capital city of Tokyo. Mechagodzilla Unit 03 leading the charge followed by the new and improved mass production MOGEURA and Super X units. The Lesser Ghidorah fire back with their gravity beams but soon were outmatched by G-Force's anti-kaiju units. A newly developed bio-weapon utilizing radiation feeding bacteria was deployed on the weaker ghidorahs, the bacteria targets the energy centers of the kaiju beasts. Soon the remaining lesser ghidorah were eliminated and Tokyo was free once more.

Gigan, Cykor, and Yonggary reached Kitakyushu, Japan and without missing a beat they launched their attack on the city. G-Force anti-kaiju units were dispatched to the area almost immediately to quell the threat but with all of G-Force's mechanized units securing Tokyo, only light anti-kaiju weapons were deployed.

Meanwhile in China, sometime after both Korea fell to the kaiju.

Vertigo ordered her enthralled armies to sack China's capital city of Bejing and her port city of Shanghai. China's Jaeger Units quickly engage Vertigo and her thralls, Vertigo swarmed the anti-kaiju mechs with her kamacuras and kumonga thralls. She then directed Megaguirus to order the meganulons to mature into their flight forms, the Meganula; to overcome the Chinese Air-Force. Trucks full of armed men and women quickly swarm into Chinese population centers slaughtering all law enforcers and military guards while sparing the civilians. The leader of these terrorists is none other than former Monarch Agent Garret, who is still under Vertigo's enthrallment. Vertigo quickly teleports herself to these population centers to convert these civilians into zealots.

Meanwhile in Wukanda, Africa.

Several villages fell to the wrath of Gorosaurus, fortunately the great beast couldn't reach the golden city, thanks to the wakanda shield barriers. The wakandans cheered as the flesh eater dinosaur fruitlessly kept ramming the shield barriers. A distant roar bellowed from the north, a massive ape-like beast made his presence known to the wakandans. It was Chaos and when Chaos appears, death and decay follow him soon afterwards. Gorosaurus abandoned the barriers as he made his way to the man-ape. Gorosaurus snapped his jaws at Chaos but with quick reflects, Chaos managed to hold the dinosaur titan's jaws from biting his head off.

Chaos breathed into Gorosaurus's face, the stench of rot and decay overwhelmed the massive theropod's senses. Gorosaurus's jaws go limp, giving Chaos enough time to uppercut Gorosaurus in the jaw, sending the dinosaur tumbling backwards. Chaos laughs at his defeated opponent before turning his gaze to the shield barriers, he sports a huge grin before leaping into the air and in mid leap shifted his body to land on his hands. The wakandans stare in awe as the massive ape performed a handstand, regardless the wakandans kept their guard up, Chaos leapt back to his feet as he plays around with the Gorosaurus like a kid with a toy, playfully clamping the unconscious dinosaur's jaws before merely tossing it to the side like an unwanted toy. The Wakandans slowly lower their weapons baffled by the playful kaiju, "Is this thing serious?" says one of the wakandan warriors. Chaos sports a huge grin before leaning his massive butt on the barrier shields before blowing out a fart. The shields were soon vaporized as the toxic air came rushing towards the wakandan warriors as they fell to the ground as decaying remains. Now the golden city was right for the taking, Chaos roars as he beats his chest like a gorilla, his followers came rushing down the hills.

Meanwhile in San Diego, Helicarrier port.

The helicarriers that escaped hawaii made it to one of many of the MONARCH's helicarrier ports. Jun and the other devilmen kaijin slowly made their way down off the platform as they joined the others to be debriefed by MONARCH personnel. They were given the synopsis of what has been going in the states and it was not looking good, without Hawaii, America not only lost one of its Jaeger Academies but also its western defense grid against titan/kaiju threats.

Los Angeles ruins

An anti-titan bunker now hangs precariously from a kaiju made ravine, desperate to find a new bunker its occupants quickly made their way out of the compromised bunker unit. They did their best to avoid getting caught between the titan fights. "Yo Joss, don't go that way. Those things are over there!" Jay Jay shouted. Joss and his female entourage stared up at the mighty monsters tearing through the city.

"Damn, this could of have been a plot to a great movie! Except replace these ugly monsters with humans with powers!" Joss muttered to himself.

"Can you stop talking about your stupid super hero movie scripts, we need to get out of here!" Jay jay shouts at his friend.

A pack of juvenile Destoroyah caught the scent of the stranded humans, they swarm like ants to their prey. Blizzard leaps into the air before landing in front of the destoroyah juveniles, freezing the ground around himself. The Destoroyah swarm were repelled by the frigid temperatures but quickly began to emerge into a single flying form. Destoroyah howls at Blizzard while it charges up its oxygen destroying beam, Blizzard quickly erects an ice wall but it is soon vaporized by Destoroyah. Jay Jay, Joss, and his dates soon bolt to another alley. Destoroyah fires its oxygen destroyer beam, Blizzard barely deflected it with his own ice beam. Destoroyah fires again at Blizzard, the ice ape kaiju dives into an adjacent alley way. The rest of the bunker refugees motion to Jay-Jay, Joss, and his girl friends to come over to the next alley. The group of survivors sigh with relief then came Anguirus charging down the street, his massive form scrapped along the apartment buildings as he made his way to the fight. The survivors quickly bolted into a back alley as the massive reptile continued its charge in the streets.

The survivors slowly leave the back alley to continue their trek to the nearest bunker, "That was close" Joss said. Anguirus spots Bagan, the massive archosaurian lowers his head while kicking up pavement. Bagan turns his head towards Anguirus and begins to charge up; blue energy radiates from his shoulders into a set of energy wings. Bagan then focuses all that energy into his nasal horn, a bolt of lightning is released from the horn. Anguirus is sent flying into the buildings behind him. Atomic Gravity Bolt it is identical to Ghidorah's gravity wave but colored blue like Godzilla's atomic breath. Great King Ghidorah flew over head as he systematically takes out the rodan flock.

The survivors quickly made their way to an abandon bus, "Does anyone know how to hot wire?" Joss asked his lady friends, they all shake their heads no.

"Don't have to" Jay Jay hold up the keys, "I found the keys" he lifts the keys up. The bus suddenly shook violently but fortunately neither the bus or its current occupants were hurt, one of Joss's girl friends started screaming. Outside of the front of the bus was rodan's severed head. Jay jay quickly jumped into the driver seat, he stabbed the key into the ignition then turned. the engine roared to life as he shift the gears and slammed his foot on the gas petal. The bus started to race backwards, then came the rest of rodan came crashing into the city block; leveling the apartment complexes and everything in it. Great King Ghidorah cackles before flying to the next rodan, she and her mate dive bombs out of the sky. Great King Ghidorah fires his gravity beams at both of them, causing both to crash into the city below. Rodan Prime swooped in and peck at Ghidorah's middle head, he directed his center of gravity to pull the gold space dragon down towards the city.

The two smaller rodans quickly recovered from their fall, rebar was sticking out of their wings so they were too hurt to return to the sky. They watch helplessly as Rodan Prime was taking on the golden demise by itself. Monster X glances over at her child being dragged down by the massive pterosaur, only for ever self to be tackled by Legend. She fends him off with her eye gravity beams, Godzilla Legend doubled back before firing his atomic breath at her, she uses her eye gravity beams to counter it. She then stretched her arms out to send a gravity punch into Legend's snout and abdomen. Legend endured these attacks, he raises his gaze back at Monster X to see she was now charging at him. She leaped in the air before throwing more gravity punches into Legend. the gravity punches shoved Legend into a factory. Monster X approaches Legend, intent to kill the godzilla however Godzilla Minilla roars caught her attention. Minilla grabs a chunk of debris before hurling towards the much taller kaiju, Monster X shatters the debris into dust with her gravity punch, she exchnages a bored glance at the smaller godzilla before turning her attention back to Legend. Minilla's dorsal plates flash blue before releasing his atomic breathe at Monster X.

Godzilla Junior steps in between Monster X and Legend, GYAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOONNNNN!!!!! His dorsal plates flash blue, he opens his jaws to fire his atomic breath into Monster X's chest. The inertia of the attack pushes Monster X backwards, she stomps her foot down as she flares her arms out. She uses Daisy's shockwave powers on the Junior, the shockwaves intensifies as they pound against his flesh. damaging his scales and cracking smaller bones. Junior roars as he pumps his atomic energy through every fiber of his body, releasing a nuclear pulse in all directions. Monster X quickly uses her shockwave powers as a shield to block the pulse from damaging her too severely, once it was over she levitates herself over to junior. She spun around in mid air to swipe at him with her legs then with her tail. Junior stumbles back, his dorsal plates glow but Monster X backhands the godzilla making him release his atomic breath away from her face.

Bagan begins to charge up his atomic gravity bolt, blue energy wings radiate from his shoulders before firing it through his nasal horn at Talon and Zilla Blue. The two theropod titans quickly dashed towards the lumbering Bagan. Talon lunged into Bagan, slashing and thrashing with his claws while Zilla Blue released her atomic breath into Bagan's back. Bagan grinned as his back arches up, a blob of flesh sprang from Bagan spine and landed on Zilla Blue. The blob stuck its tendrils into Zilla Blue, stealing some of her blood before releasing itself from her. The blob quickly started to grow in mass, soon arms and legs sprouted from the blob; its overall body structure resembled Zilla's with the exception of his head, it resembled an octopus.

I know my nephew went through 3 of these figures before he got one that "worked", The left wing kept falling off. NECA is known for hot or miss quality control.

i don't think he will be in it. but i wish.

yeah mothra is pretty awesome. i am literally watching kotm right now

No joke, I thought this was going to be some big philosophical discussion about how there's no one way to enjoy Godzilla and how the cultural analysis and worldbuilding and excitedly watching the battles are all equally valid.

Then I actually got here, and it's just a MST3K thread.

I personally don't mind 'em, and I won't deny that they make me crack a smile at their best. Their riff on Gamera vs. Zigra was how I actually watched the movie.

Moonthra
Oh, that would make my idea pretty useless, wouldn't it?

I don't think I've seen a Mothra pic online where the legs weren't bent to some degree out of the package, but admittedly yours is worse than usual. If you don't want to risk fixing it, that's your call, I'm literally not the boss of you. Best of luck either way.

Never particularly liked MST3K to begin with. Tried to laugh along with this, but couldn't make it through it. Personally, I'm glad Toho barred the MST3K Godzilla episodes from being released officially.

Not to mention Sea Monster doesn't particularly deserve it. Megalon did, but I could get through that one either.

Gomi: Ninja Monster

Shelf? They don't sell these in my country I ordered by amazon.

Moonthra:

I've found Mothra to be pretty durable, haven't had the pole crack at all and only popped a back leg out once by accident(that's how I know those are on balljoints). Heat won't break anything, just make it more pliable, I needed it to get her legs safely moving in the first place. NECA figures are often like that.

However if you don't feel comfortable trying that, it can't hurt to try your luck with another Mothra. I'd advise checking to make sure they have it on the shelf to compare with before returning the first one.

Gomi: Ninja Monster 

I think I should return it instead, don't wanna risk breaking it.

Moonthra
Okay, so the legs being bent/leaning has to do with how the soft plastic was packaged, mine has a similar issue to a lesser extent. You can try dipping them in a bowl of hot water for 15-30 seconds, bending them straight and then holding them like that in cold water for a minute or two. Didn't work too great for me, but it's worth a shot. The heat might also loosen up the legs you say don't move(The hind legs are actually on balljoints, btw)

As for the pole, first thing to do is make sure that little tab is pointed towards the head. After that it's really just trial and error to find that sweet spot where she clips in.

@dk

Well my concerns are that all her front legs are leaning towards the right side, one of her back legs one foot is bent to a side, only one leg moves, I can't seem to fit her in the pole where she stands, like sure it holds her but she doesn't "get" inside the semicircle. Plus the position she's in is different from all the boxart but that doesn't worry me as much. Here are the pics:

Moonthra Pics?

I got my first Godzilla figure, the NECA Mothra 2019 figure, I love her but I'm worried that she might be defective because her legs are weird.

For me, it will always be Mothra but I also really like Godzilla.

I watched the Godzilla (2014) movie and I was amazed, I just thought Godzilla was badass. Curiously, I watched that movie around the time Godzilla KOTM was in theaters, and since it was the sequel I went to watch it, and I loved the titans, especially Mothra, who is my favorite, so I'm a relatively new fan because I've been a fan since May 2019.

The articles you share, it is very detailed and meticulous, I hope you will have more interesting articles to share with readers next time.

A fan is a fan if (s)he believes (s)he is a fan. No more, no less.

No, it's a measure of a rich fan or fan that doesn't really have much self-control regardless of personal finances.

giraffeboy329 The amount of collectibles you buy is not a measure of whether your a true or false fan. You like Godzilla, and that's enough.

i am not a TRUE fan yet, but i do really like godzilla. i have a friend who is a HUGE fan of godzilla, he dumps hundreds of bucks at G-Fest. 

they need to come out with a new mothra movie

yeah thats true, it matters on the movie. i wanna see the older ones like final wars but i have to find them.

I hate this concept and it comes up a lot in the larger franchises that have their own cliques within them. It's basically a way some group tries to paint themselves as superior in some way. Bottom line of you enjoy something you're a fan. The degrees of enjoyment may vary but they're all fans.
