Different versions and looks of Godzilla

I like the original 1954 version and #16 through 27. Although, #17, #23, and #24 though #27 have aspects that I don't like. I thought, however, in certain shots during the movie, the one in Godzilla vs. Destroyah was pretty much the meanest looking one. The one in Godzilla 2000 was a pretty mean looking one too.

Godzilla vs desotroyah just has that: Hows I going mother fuckers? Look to it.

I'm a big fan of the Heisei look, especially the 1991 and Burning Godzilla suits. I also really dig the G2K/GxM suits as well as the suit from the GxMG series. 

my faverite is godzilla 2000

Definitely KiryuGoji.

I can't choose just one but I do prefer Godzilla to look more Reptilian, so my favorite suit is from Tokyo SOS. I also admire Bio-Goji, Shodai-Goji, and King-Goji.

My favorites are the original  Godzilla (1954), the 1975 G, the 1985 G, the 1995 G, the 2000 G, and the 2004 G

final wars is my favorite

Here's my highlights of the series

!954: The gold standard of course. The only issue was the hand puppet for close-ups looked absurd

1962: More reptilian looking and has a great profile, though the 3/4 and head-on looks goofy

1964: Brilliant design, sleek and full of malice

1989: The popular incarnation of Godzilla. Somewhat feline head denotes cunning and the suit paired with the animatronic gave the creature life unseen in previous films

1999: Finally a green Godzilla. Again, he feels like a reptile like KingGoji, and the redish-purple spines gives him a lot more flash.

I like the Millenium look of the Big G, particularly in Godzilla 2000, Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS. Especially his sharper spikes, gives him more of an menacing look.

Although for my absolute favorite, I will say the Heisei-era design in vs Destroyah, with Godzilla glowing and giving off steam, that looked awesome.

I hated the FW look

my top 3

1.godzilla tokyo sos 

2.final wars 

3. 2000

gozilla 1975 (terror of mechagodzilla) probably because they made the suit have those shiny big eyes that make him look cute.

Godzilla vs Biollante and Godzilla 2000

My favorite is the 2014 one.  My least favorite was Zilla.

Here check out my website page it has a ll the variations of suits used in Godzilla movies .....

Godzilla Suits

My personal opinion is:

Best Showa Series Godzilla - "Mothra vs Godzilla" (1964)

Best Heisei Series Godzilla - "Godzilla vs Biollante" (1989)

Best Millennium Series Godzilla - "Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla (2002)

And the worst Godzilla of all time - "Son of Godzilla" (1967)

 My favorite Godzilla suits in each series:

Showa-Godzilla vs Mothra

Heisei-Return of Godzilla

Millennium-GMK

Present - Shin Godzilla

worst - Son Of Godzilla

I always get a kick out of these ancient threads being revived.

^ LOL You and me both. My OP is from when the forums ran using BBcode, I clearly need to update this. Hahaha

I never really understood how Godzilla was able to change his shape in the films' universes.

RiseUp,
He's generally the same shape, height, etc. He just looks different from movie to movie depending on the director's vision and needs of the particular production.

It's no different from Batman looking like Michael Keaton in two movies and then Val Kilmer in a third. Or Bruce Banner looking like Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk and then Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers.

I was kinda looking for an in-universe explanation.

There is no in-universe explanation. His changing appearance is dictated only by out-of-universe factors. As far as the characters within the films are concerned, he still looks exactly the same as he always has from film to film.
