So it's been a while since I've posted any topics but seeing as these types of Topics seem to be very popular right now, why not throw my own little discussion topic into the mix. My question for all of you is what Godzilla's over 65-year history is THE defining moment/scene and why? To quickly explain, a defining moment isn't the same as your favorite moment (though they can be the same). It's a moment or scene YOU specifically would show someone who has never seen anything Godzilla-related before and say THIS is Godzilla.

 

Now I'm specifically talking about what defines Godzilla as a character and movie icon the best, but feel free to share your defining moment on any Godzilla-related topic like about a specific Kaiju/character, Era, time period or even the Kaiju genre as a whole! For me personally, it has to be the Atomic Death scene from Shin Godzilla (which is coincidentally also my favorite scene). Everything from the Music, the Visuals, the imagery, the symbolism and the fact that not only did they perfectly showcase how destructive Godzilla is, but also did it in a way that's it's both tragic and beautiful at the same time! It perfectly summarizes what I love about Godzilla and the genre as a whole.

 

I hope I've made my question clear enough but with that out of the way, let's discuss!

Long live the king...

Most of the effects in the 1954 film hold up incredibly well Today, the rest of the Showa series is sort of a mixed bag with some effects looking amazing and others not so much...*cough* *cough* 1962 Kong suit...

1962 Kong has a lot of issues (not just his design)…

 

For example, he kind of has a drinking problem...

Wait I’m list mine,

-Godzilla Comes Ashore

-Godzilla’s Entrace in Terror Of Mechagodzilla

-Godzilla Underwater Beginning scene in GMK

-Godzilla Atomic Breath G 14

-Godzilla Comes Ashore in 4th form (Shin)

-Atomic Breath Shin

-Godzilla Earth Wakes Up, (whether or not you like the anime, this scene is awesome)

-Godzilla Terristrius First scene, Singular Point

 

I feel these scenes do godzilla the most justice.

I like that scene too, but it doesn’t seem like it defines godzilla for me. I guess I can’t say much about my scene either though, It’s just Godzilla getting out of the water

I'd 100% go with when Godzilla defeats Orga, the victorious roar G does is just so beautiful. I even had it as a ringtone once.

This isn't really a defining moment, but I really thought the score in GVK was just ok.  But fast forward the Hong Kong part of the score to 10:40 and listen till the end.  Absolutely a masterpiece by Tom Holkenborg even though Bear Mcreary did ol' Goji better.

Bear Mcreary Actually paid homage to the original themes and just remastered them. Tom Holkenberg just used the same types of chords but randomly not really seeming to care where it went

Holkenborg's a hack. He's just a sound engineer who got lucky and was promoted to composer who successfully wrote the worst score of the franchise. I'll take Riichiro Manabe's wonky, weird themes over anything "Junkie" has done. At least Manabe made some interesting sounds.

Ok, admit that there were some high points you MonsterVerse hater.  Mcreary succeeded at making an amazing score but never made a moving piece in the slightest.  The end of Hong Kong's score was moving being reminiscent of Stranger Things and The Snyder Cut and accomplished it's goal of being the end of a conflict.  It feels very similar to the end of G'14's score when Godzilla leaves to the ocean again.

 And Back To The Ocean was a hauntingly beautiful piece in G'14's score.
