How popular is Godzilla in your area?

With the new movie growing close, and the anticipation mounting ever higher, let's relieve ourselves a little and talk about just how popular Godzilla is in the area you live in, if you know that is.

Around where I live in 'Murica (honestly, that is the dumbest thing I've heard of since everything kids do and say in my generation),  Godzilla is relatively well known, but not well liked, as most of the kids, tweens, teens and adults here are die-hard comedy fans, and laugh at the, no lie, dumbest things. Where there are fans of Godzilla, they are loud, proud and have been bugging the hell out of our local theatre for early ticket sales.

In other areas in which I've lived, Godzilla has had varying degrees of popularity. As a smaller child, Godzilla was everywhere! There were very few kids who didn't run around the weekends yelling about how they were "Godzeewa" or "King Gidah." How I remember that is beyond me.
When I moved, it was much more tame, but Godzilla was still looming. A lot of kids talked about him... And about how much the '98 movie sucks, as we (as a group) had finally retrieved a copy and watched it together. I, having watched it during my "Godzeewa" days, loved it. Everyone else was heartbroken.
After that, Godzilla stopped looming and lumbered off to be replaced with the emergence of the new mainstream. Not gonna get into detail there.


Enough about me, though. Share with us, how popular is Godzilla in your area?

NOTE- Don't tell us exactly where you live. The country would be nice, to get a general idea, but major specifics are... Y'know.
