Godzilla's Screentime Throughout the Series (Ver. 2.0)

For the last year I've been compiling this. I still have to time Godzilla: The Planet Eater, but I'm hoping to get that in before New Years. Hopefully this clears up some misconceptions:

"'Nostalgic' does not equal 'good,' and 'standards' does not equal 'elitism.'" "Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is your choice."

Thanks for taking the time to do that, GMan. That’s an exhaustive study! I remember this topic from several years ago.

For me, it’s never been how much time Godzilla is onscreen. I don’t care if it’s 5 minutes or twenty five minutes. However long it is, make it count, make it impactful. What is he doing when he’s onscreen? Does it scratch that “Godzilla itch” for you? Some have done it much better than others.

KoldWarKid62,
I agree. Screentime isn't exactly a factor. Although, I will admit, the movies with longer screentime I tend to find more exhausting to get through than others. Invasion of Astro-Monster is usually cited as my favorite Godzilla movie, but his time onscreen is used expertly and, frankly, the story and characters are engrossing enough that I don't notice his short appearance.
