What Made You a Godzilla Fan?

Godzilla 1998 and Godzilla Final Wars, yea I'm one of those 1 percenters(Its a word right?).

Watching Creature Double Feature every Saturday afternoon with my dad in the late 70s/ early 80s.

What made me a goji fan was when 2014 came out,I loved it. The story of monsters vs other monsters and humanity's struggle in the middle. I started researching other Godzilla movies,because I had heard of Godzilla before 2014,but the legendary goji opened my eyes to its epic ness. Now I'm a hard core goji fan!

^Nice! Welcome aboard!

What made me a godzilla fan was how good the movies were I became in love with them and now their is a new Godzilla vs kong and I just can wait I'm a really big fan.and I know like everything about Godzilla.thats how big of a fan I am

Even though my earliest memory of Godzila was the 1998 film (even though I didn't know what Godzilla even was, or what the movie was even about [to me, it was just a giant dinosaur running around and destroying buildings]), what made me a Godzilla fan was one of two things: 1) the Fiat commercial promoting Godzilla 2014 (you know, the one where he eats the cars), and 2) watching Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster at camp (and I especially loved the part where he cannonballs into the ocean before the island exploded). Other than that, it was actually the trailers for Godzilla 2014 and the two things I mentioned above that made me like Godzilla (especially Zilla's design and the Baby Zilla's design as well, since I was more of a dinosaur fan at the time when I saw it).

I actually strangely enough, got into Godzilla by watching a top 10 Godzilla monsters list by watch mojo on YouTube.

well,I needed something to defeat my friends dragon in our little 2nd grade roleplay.He Just fit the bill!

JK

I had heard of godzilla as a general term more as a size thing rather than anything else. So I eventually Looked Him Up and well this was godzilla to me for a while. Then I met BURNING GODZILLA. He was...My first godzilla toy,Movie and my first real understanding of the big G.

I remember my first form of Godzilla media was not a movie, in fact it was a game, it was Godzilla Unleashed for the Ps2 for that matter!

The games was not perfect by any means but it was still fun for me as a kid and so it made me the kaiju fan i am today!

What made me a fan was receiving these toys that had a button on their chest that would emit their noise.

Can anyone tell me the make/model/year that these are?

I was 5, and I had been messing around with the TV remote when I accidentally switched the channel to a Godzilla Marathon on Sci-Fi channel. Right away I was into it, the movie that was playing was Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974). It was just amazing to me, that weekend, I probably watched 5 or 6 Godzilla films. Years later, Godzilla (2014) came out and my love for Godzilla returned, I bought the collectibles, even all of the Toho Co movies on DVD.

The Marvel Comics.

My dad was USAF Vietnam Air Rescue Pilot. We were stationed in Okinawa for 7 years.  Arrived when I was 7 years old.  Seen my first Godzilla movie, 1968, and I have been hooked ever since.  I am in my 50's now, and I am only 8 DVD short of the complete collection.  I hope the Director and Screenwriters remember: Godzilla is ALWAYS the HERO

Well sorta a weird story how I became a Godzilla fan, I always heard the name, due to my father being a construction worker and referencing some house he would work on as “Godzilla-sized!” And it always stuck with me. I always knew he was a dinosaur of some kind, a T-Rex and Stegosaurus hybrid I thought. So one day while me and my family were grocery shopping I found a cheap toy dinosaur and named it Godzilla. I few days later I watched my first Godzilla movie. “Godzilla vs. megaguirus”. And I can still remember walking into a K-Mart and finding my first official Godzilla toy (a Bandai Godzilla 2001)

 I've always been into dinosaurs (in fact I remember the Christmas I was ten, getting a dictionary of dinosaurs from my parents) and it just evolved from there XD

Godzilla battle for the earth 1992 was on tv and was intrigued the moment I saw him blow atomic breath!

I jumped at every opportunity I had to see a new film.

I guess many people are accustom to buying DVD or BD and then play them on TV. Well, do you know how to create a disc yourself? 

When I was a kid, I saw the original film on a late night classic film channel, and it immediately caught my attention. I searched my local video store after that and found other films. Just kept absorbing as much as possible.

I became a fan when I accidentally saw Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah on TV when I was 10. Then came other movies either on TV or VHS. With the advent of DVDs and internet, I started checking more and more out of Big G's rich filmography. I live in Poland, so no-Toho-on-the-big-screen, but I really liked seeing Gareth Edward's Godzilla in cinema and I'm impatiently waiting for the sequel. I'm very happy that I found your forum.

What made me a godzilla fan? It was when I was like 8, and my grandpa put on All Monsters Attack. I barely remember any of it, but after that, I just liked godzilla. Then, a few months ago, I just started watching all the showa and heisei movies on starz and other movie apps/websites. Here is my list of every godzilla movie I have watched so far(In my memory)

Mothra vs. Godzilla

Ghidorah, the three headed monster

Invasion of the Astro Monster

All Monsters Attack

Terror of Mechagodzilla

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

Godzilla(1998) (I like the movie)

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus 

GMK

Tokyo SOS

Final Wars

Godzilla(2014)

Shin Godzilla

Monster Planet

City on the Edge of Battle

In about 2008, I remember watching Godzilla Final Wars. The action, the diverse roster of monsters, godzilla himself, all of it was amazing. Ever since then I have read a bunch of books about the history about the making of godzilla, and watched most of the movies. But, the monsters are definitely the reason I love the godzilla franchise so much. Their sheer power and size was captivating, and I can't wait to see what new monsters appear in 2019.

Welcome to the forums! Thanks for sharing what made you a fan. Also, sweet profile pic!

Thanks for the hospitality, I truly appreciate it.

I became a Godzilla fan when I first watched Godzilla Power Hour, then about months or maybe a year later I rented Godzilla vs Monster Zero. I think I was 6 or 7 around this time, then came 1998 and I became a huge fan of Zilla, because I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan. Then around 2004-2005 my uncle sent us his Godzilla movie collection so me and my brother started watching them, we got all the way up to Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters.

Then I rewatched Godzilla 1998, While i'm still a huge fan of Zilla. I didn't really like the overall story of the movie, well anyways.... In 2014, me and my brother restarted our Godzilla marathon in conjuncture to the release of Legendary's Godzilla. We finished the marathon and boy, I love Godzilla 2014. Been a full fledged Godzilla fan ever since.

A mi pues porq me gustan los monstruos y porq siempre fui fanatico  espero aver godzilla king of the monsters

What Made me a big G fan is watching Godzilla vs Destroyah will my brother.

My mom and dad took me on base to see Godzilla 2000 the look the just power of him and how he seemed to just never quit it took me when I was a child and I've never loved him any less

i was watching godzilla movies once i was 10 trs oldand now im therteen i thought he was the most awsome thing in the world.

My father was and still is, a big G fan so I guess that's why I love the series so much. 

For Me, It was definitely 2014. But way before it came out, I had seen pictures of this giant dinosaur, with it's back lit in a light blue color, with lightning all around it. For the longest time, I thought it was some sort of Demon. Then, as I later found out that it was Godzilla. My first actual movie that I watched was Godzilla vs Destoroyah, since I had seen about a million videos about it on YouTube. That was one hell of a movie, and I really think it helped shape the growing G-Fan I am today.

The Nintendo Gamecube game Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. I used to play that game for hours. Always would go beastmode as Megalon. 

My first Godzilla movie was Godzilla 2000 when it was released in America when I was a kid. My uncle was a big Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman fan growing up so when he saw there was a new, big screen Godzilla movie being released in the US, he showed it to me and my brothers. From the very first opening scene where they're tracking Godzilla, find him, piss him off, and he chases them through the tunnel to his headstrong charge into Orga's open mouth before blowing him up from the inside, we were all hooked. My uncle told us it was a good Godzilla movie, but nothing like the classics. That summer we all watched the original monster movies and since then have all been huge fans. My younger brother still texts me from home whenever any new info comes out about new movies and I even drove home this summer so we could watch City on the Edge of Battle together when it came out. I'm a fan of Godzilla cause it's been a part of my family since I was a kid

I was only 4 years old when my older brother introduced me to the King of the Monsters himself in my first movie. Godzilla 1985. I grew up liking dinosaurs and seeing one that was big, bad, and first breathing at that time was a dream come true. Since then I've gone on to having the whole movie collection and more collectibles in the way.

I thank the discovery of the entire saga thanks to G2000 and the infamous G98, and i´ve never thought that most of the classic Showa, the entire Heisei and Millenium movies would be so much fun to watch, and some of them where actually meant to be serious movies, the only serious ones for me are G54, G84, G vs B 89, G vs D 95, ShinG and G14, the others are super fun monster flicks with consistant storytelling and fight choreographys (mostly).

So, inconclusion, i like the G movies for the storytelling and action, and the messages behind it

When I was 4 my dad was going to watch Hockey Night In Canada on CBC but couldn't because of the NHL lockout at the time so he couldn't watch it. Instead however, CBC aired Mothra vs Godzilla instead, and with me being obsessed with dinosaurs at the time, my dad recorded the movie, and showed me the next day. I watched it, and instantly fell in love. As I watched it though,  my dad got up, amd headed to my room and apparently began searching through my dinosaur toys when he pulled out this green dinosaur toy that had silver spikes. He told me that he remembered buying me some dinosaur toys at the local Flea market, and one of the dinosaurs I picked up turned out to be a Godzilla. So thats how I became a fan. 

My dad got me into watching Godzilla since I was 4 years old and still watching it today getting every Godzilla film on dvd and Blu-Ray 

The sound of his roar is what initially drew me in to the atomic creature of the deep. The old facial expressions of the creatures were also priceless.

Watching Godzilla and Anguirus. Fight Gigan and King Ghidorah.  I had never seen anything like it. It was just something special and hooked me as a kid.

I just like to imagine Giant Monsters destroying cities and stuff so when I came across Godzilla I loved it. It was just awesome seeing a bunch of giant monsters fighting each other.

First got into Godzilla when the 2014 movie came out, but then I lost interest. King of the Monsters has resparked my interest. Other than that I just like to see crumbling buildings, explosions, and monster fights.
