The Godzilla Thread - Plus other giant monsters, no matter how popular or obscure

Which is funny considering we were close to having a King Kong vs. Franeknstein

Thats what Im refering to. Frakenstein just kept being brought up in Godzilla and Toho in that period. They even give that eletricity power up to Godzilla against Mecha Godzilla...its pretty weird.
 
Didn't the German dubs of the Godzilla movies say that alot of the monsters were creations of Dr. Frankenstein?
Dunno but here are some of the titles of the German Gamera movies:

Gamera vs. Barugon - Frankenstein's Dragon from the Jungle
Gamera Against Gaos - Frankenstein's Fight of the Monsters
Gamera Against Jiggar - Frankenstein Demon Threatens the World
Gamera versus Zigra - Frankenstein's Space Beast Strikes

Yeah in Germany it seemed that "Frankenstein" was shorthand for "this has monsters". Dunno about any changes beyond the titles

I wonder why Toho is taking so long to make another Godzilla movie, especially since they made it clear that Shin Godzilla was going to remain stand alone (even if they said back then it would be the first one out of a new universe).

The working title for the new one is "origins" but that could either just refer to this being the starting point of the series or maybe it could be maybe be set in the past?

Or maybe it will be connected to Gojira like most first movies in the eras tended to do.

I recall James Rolfe explaining that during Kong-athon. The germans really liked Frankenstein so they just wanted to shove him everywhere back then...even if Frankenstein himself doesnt appear.
Fuck another nigger monster where's my Gigan

Having adventures with Megalodon

Oh great another giant ape. Is it just me or are westerners incapable of making unique and cool looking kaijus?

There better be a stupid twist that this is Mecha Kong or something.

Some two brand new key visuals for the animated Gamera series, which were just dropped, showcasing two more recurring foes from the showa period while the site was temporarily down. Although Zigra looks more like a manta-ray in this one.

I guess all that's left now is to await for the final monster to be revealed. As for what I think of the upcoming show so far, I am still willing to give it a fair proper go once it's out. After all, it has been nearly a decade since I have not seen anything new from this series in a long arse time.

New Teaser for Godzilla Minus One dropped.
US release is December first. Looks really dark and the fact its set in the late 40s is something new.
Oh yeah, getting some Shin Godzilla-vibes but WWII. The OG Godzilla that evolved much more rapidly than the one from 1954 sounds neat, though it makes it a good way to do a reboot for their own universe in the Reiwa period.

Wait a second, Takashi Yamazaki?

I've heard those Doraemons are nice but I never could get past the CG
iirc there's a dub of the first by the Bang Zoom crew who did the (shockingly good) USA dub that ran on Disney XD, should give it a try
also maybe spoiler, maybe hilarious lie about Minus One credited to /tv/, but seriously IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG shit
New Godzilla film is set during the end of World War II, he is created from the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Well, to be more precise, Godzilla is formed from the fused carcasses of the Japanese civilians killed in the attack at Hiroshima. The film’s tone is very similar to GMK’s, where Godzilla is a force of pain of those millions of lives thrown away in a pointless world war, and Godzilla is looking for revenge against the people/government that threw its previous lives to the wind. I mentioned earlier that Godzilla was created at Hiroshima, and that means that Nagasaki will have a very similar, yet distinct creature to Godzilla appear. Will it be a friend or foe to Godzilla and mankind, and is this a kaiju we have seen before? Only time will tell (translated 11/7/2023 radioTokyo broadcast)
