Kaiju Fan Confessions

[UltramanGoji]

Godzilla's Revenge was my favorite G-film as a kid.

You serious?!?!

Yes. Dead serious.

[Ethan]

Godzilla's Revenge was my favorite G-film as a kid.

You're making it seem like it's something bad.

[HayesAJones]

My younger cousin named Godzilla's Revenge as he favorite of the ones I showed him.

Godzilla's Revenge was my favorite G-film as a kid.

You're making it seem like it's something bad.

It is. It's my least favorite G-Film.

[DeadpoolsbetterThanU]

I loved, now like, GINO. You have to admit, that's a lot of fish.
I've also never seen Godzilla 1985, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, and Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth.

[UnCanny Studios]

Godzilla's Revenge was my favorite G-film as a kid.

I can't remember if it was my favorite or not - but I know I watched it the most, along with all the Heisei entries. MY favorite Goji movie as a child was Godzilla vs Megalon!

Jet Jaguar is still, to this day, one of my favorite creations on the planet. He just is.

[RedZillaKing]

-I always have a Godzilla figure in my car. It drives my wife nuts.

This is agreed. GvM really is an amazing movie when you're a kid. Then again I only owned Megalon and Sea Monsters.

[therealmccoy]

-I think Jun Fukuda did a really good job with most of his Godzilla films
-Godzilla's Revenge is in my top eight favorite Godzilla movies.
-I thought the Final Wars G-suit was cool
-I think it's ridiculous how powerful they made Godzilla from the Heisei series on. Godzilla is powerful, but in my opinion, they went overboard in that regard.
-I thought Nick Adams was a great actor. Not just good, but great
-I don't find Mie Hama to be that attractive; Akiko Wakabayashi is much sexier
-I think Godzilla vs. Megalon is a decent movie
-Godzilla (1984) is my favorite Godzilla movie
-I think the 90's Gamera trilogy are among the best monster movies ever made.
-I think Godzilla: Unleashed is a fun game

[tymon]

- I think the US cut of Godzilla 2000 is better than any other G-film of the modern era (1984-2004)
- Mothra vs. Godzilla is my second favorite Godzilla film, but I find Mothra to be a highly overrated kaiju.
- King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla are my favorite foes, by far.
- I like the score for Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, but hate most of new themes composed for the Kiryu films.
- Godzilla (1954) is the only great Godzilla movie from a critical standpoint IMO.
- I still haven't seen the Japanese version of The Return of Godzilla in its entirety.
- King Caeser, Jet Jaguar, Battra, SpaceGodzilla and Destroyah are all kaiju I really don't care for.
- Hattori and J. Peter Robinson's score for the US Godzilla 2000 is the best non-Ifukube score hands down.
- Kiryu is the best Mechagodzilla design, though could be tweaked to look a little more evil.
- The score for Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (74) really isn't that great.
- Fire Rodan is awesome, despite the subpar execution.
- Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is one of the best kaiju movies ever.

[Captain Aktion]

I have reasonable expectations regarding my enjoyment of sci-fi/fantasy films centered around mutated and or otherwise super-humanly altered to a state of enormity creatures which may have or may not have existed in our plane of existence and their misadventures/pillagings/foibles in their day to day dealings with a weaponized man-driven culture who fears and hates them and regularly has their futures bassack-wardly saved by the very mutated and or super-humanly altered to the state of enormity creatures they so doggedly attack and despise...I guess...?

[Dash 7]

- I don't think Riichiro Manabe is a bad composer at all.
- My favorite G film is a tie between Godzilla vs. Hedorah and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
- I think Rodan(1956) is a much better film than Mothra(1961)

[UltramanGoji]

Read the title.

Confess your kaiju fan sins to Father UltraGoji! Haven't seen Gojira? Don't own a single DVD? Tell us here!

I'll start: I have never seen the Heisei Gamera Trilogy.

[Dillyziller]

Ive never seen Gamera: the Brave

[MaxRebo320]

Copy and pasted from another site!

King Kong won because the movie said so.

Godzilla becoming a good guy is alright.

Minya is awesome, as if SON OF GODZILLA.

GODZILLA'S REVENGE is misguided, but still good.

GODZILLA VS. HEDORAH is one of the best in the series

GIGAN and MEGALON are a lot of fun.

GODZILLA 1985 was alright, but flawed.

The Heisei series was mostly dull, aside from BIOLLANTE.

GODZILLA VS. SPACEGODZILLA sux.

GINO is bad as both a Godzilla movie AND a monster movie. However, it is still a Godzilla movie, and has never been called "Zilla".

GODZILLA VS. MEGAGUIRUS is quite possibly the worst in the series.

GMK is okay, but not as "ASSum" as everyone says it is.

The Kiryu films are F E M I N I S T P O I S O N

GODZILLA FINAL WARS hurt the franchise WAY more than MEGALON.

While I like Ultraman, shows after ULTRASEVEN don't seem to appeal to me as much.

Kamen Rider shows after BLACK RX don't look all that interesting to me either.

Same applies to Sentai shows after GINGAMAN.

I think Power Rangers is much more enjoyable than Sentai.

i am one thorough sob

[SpaceG92]

Forgive me Father Ultragoji for I have sinned!

Aside from knowing the "in universe" facts of Godzilla, I know little on what behind the scenes and making of the movies and 1/3rd of my Showa collection is VHS recordings from the mid/early 90's.

[Megalon-5]

Taken from the same site as Maxreboe...

I really like the "annoying" comic relief characters like Minya, Ito, Pigmon, etc.

I'm not a fan of the Heisei series.

Bagan sucks ass.

I think G54 is the best giant monster movie critically, but not too fun.

I like Ultraman a bit more than Godzilla.

While I like the Gamera trilogy and GMK, I think they're overrated.

King Kong '33 is more important than G'54.

Overpowered monsters for the most part are sucky and boring.

I think it's a good thing most of the unmade Godzilla films weren't made.

I'd rather see Nessie or PON 2 be made rather than Godzilla vs. Bagan or any of those others. I would've loved to have seen what Redmoon, Godzilla vs. Gargantua, A Space Godzilla, Rebirth of Godzilla or Asuka Fortress, but otherwise I'm mostly happy with how things turned out.

Jet Jaguar is my all time favorite character after Godzilla.

I don't mind stock footage that much.


I don't feel like the Godzilla comics and video games aren't as great as fans make them out to be.

Kong deserved to win.

I absolutely adore Godzilla's Revenge and like it more than the post-89 stuff.

An R-rated Godzilla film is a terrible idea.

Godzilla Raids Again is the furthest thing from the classic that a lot of people make it out to be.

I don't think Godzilla should ever cross over with Ultraman, Gamera or Pacific Rim.

I'm more excited for Pacific Rim than LPG.

I like my Japanese scifi more goofy and weird than dark, depressing and brooding.

While I love ifukube, I prefer Manabe by far.

Akira Kubo is severely underrated by the fanbase imo.

I find Mugal more entertaining than the Controller.

I like Kaneko's Ultraman Max episodes better than his kaiju films.

Showa Gigan is the best.

Mechagodzilla is boring when he's a "good guy".

I like Matt Frank's non-Neo work better than Godzilla Neo.

I feel like a lot of Godzilla fans will bitch about Toho not trying new things, but when they do something new, they bitch about it not being the same.

S.H. Monsterarts don't interest me in the slightest.

I like the Frontier dubs.

Whenever rags on the 70's films, I get P I S S Y.

I like Terror a bit more than Godzilla vs. Mehcagodzilla.

While I would watch it, I have no desire for a Godzilla anime be made, I'd rather see a modern day Zone Figher-type show with the Toho monsters.

It frustrates me when fans refuse to check out Toho's non-kaiju films because there's no rubber monsters.

I like the weaker monsters better than the beam spamming "evil overlord" types.

Destroyah is a bad film.

I really want Gabara to come back.

I like Magma just because he's a giant walrus.

Even if it wasn't named "Godzilla", GINO would still suck.

I get pissy when people call GINO the "best remake of Beast of 20,000 Fathoms".

I want to see a Godzilla movie with the insanity of House.

I love the concept of Godzilla having allies. It's better than him just being an angry sob all the time.

I like Minya more than Junior.

While I wouldn't mind, I don't think Biollante should come back.

Nakano is the most hardcore motherfucker ever.

I wish the 70's Godzilla films went on way longer.

Eiji is my favorite "father of Godzilla" out of the four.

Fans use Honda's quote about "Monsters being born too tall" waaaaay too much.

Godzilla's death in ROG is sadder than the one in Destoroyah.

I think the KOTM version of the first film is a lot more fun and moves at a better pace the the Japanese version.

Gigantis is really fun, unlike GRA.

Raymond Burr is awesome. I wish in some alternate universe that he did more Godzilla/kaiju films.

I think Commander Black from Ultraman Leo is a better "arch nemesis" kind of villain than the boring Emperor Alien from Mebius or Ultraman Belial.

As of recently, I like Godzilla 2000 more than GMK.

Monsters that are somewhat goofy are cooler and more memorable than guys like Spacegodzilla.

Super Godzilla is a terrible game.

I have no desire for Kong to ever fight Godzilla again.

The fanwank over continuity is stupid.

Showa Ghidorah is the best.

Grand King Ghidorah is way overrated.

The Showa era Ultramen are infinetely cooler than the post Heisei ones for the most part. Same goes for the monsters.

I'm fine with Godzilla losing.

The "angry military chick who has a grudge against Godzilla" is really boring.

The Science Patrol and the various groups in the Ultra series are infinitely cooler than G-force.

I get bored of too much monster action.

I think people complaining about GINO, but then drawing Godzilla and pals as realistic dinosaurs is stupid

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is the best out of the 90's films.

I wish the Futurians played a bigger role in the Heisei era.

Nakano should have stayed for the SPFX in the Heisei era.

Aight, I'm done!

[20th Century Boy]

I'm not into figure collecting at all. I just own probably five Bandai Creation toys and just display them. I do plan on buying the new S.H. Monsterarts '64 Godzilla, though.

I haven't read a single Godzilla comic book. I know IDW needs support for their upcoming Godzilla: Rulers of Earth series, so I will probably get in on that. When I have money, I might buy Godzilla: The Half Century War.

I dislike Monster Zero.

I like Godzilla Final Wars.

I find Ultraseven to be good, but VASTLY overrated.

I liked that new Guilala movie. It was stupid fun.

Gamera 3 is also overrated, but man, those are some FANTASTIC action sequences.

I don't give a crap about kaiju power levels. I think fantasy matches are stupid as hell.

Ultraman Tiga is my favorite television show of all time and one of my favorite kaiju-related things in general.

[Starsteam]

I rewatched Godzilla 1998 today...
Still don't hate it.

Godzilla Final Wars still still entertaining as hell to me.

I hated Terror of MechaGodzilla when I first saw it.

[Shadow]

I believe Minya is still an asshole.
I watch the Gamera trilogy more than Godzilla nowadays.
I own all of the Heisei and Millennium, but not all of the Showa.
I at first liked FW, but learned to see it's flaws over time.
I always hated GINO.
I pleasured myself to Mothra.
