We can ignore GFW, because A) That film has nothing to do with this conversation, B) Minya is great (all the proof is in Son Of Godzilla), and C) GFW sucks, so it can be ignored all together.

Its still disconcerting.

Lil deformed reptiliomorph transforming into a giant deformed reptiliomorph. There's something not right about that, man.

Talking about Minya's growing power.

No, not that.

That second sentence confuses the hell out of me. I have no idea what it means. The only "Lil" I'm familiar with is the one from Rugrats.

Ah. I mean "lil" as a shortening of the word "little." Consider "Lil Wayne." He adopted the name because he was a teenager when he started rapping. Ergo, Little Wayne...or "Lil."

Minya grew! I don't care if GFW sucked or not! Minya/Minilla still grew! I dont care which series it happened in, whether it being Showa or Millinnium, IT STILL HAPPENED!!

Did you forget the part where he's a mutated, radioactive dinosaur?

IMO, he simply had a growth spurt in GFW, and G's Revenge was a dream of Ichiro's.

It still happend, I still saw it, it may have just been a dream in Godzilla's Revenge, but I still saw it happen, I didn't like it, I don't like him!
I don't care whether or not it really happened in the movie, I still watched it happen.

You're missing the point, dude.

Minya is already an obscure creature that could never exist. So who cares if he can grow? It's not any more weird than a three-headed golden space dragon that can destroy entire planets.

No, YOU'RE missing the point, I DO NOT LIKE MINYA. I watched him grow, it may have been a dream in the movie, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that I watched it happen in the movie, I thought it was too weird, (that and the fact that he had a voice that sounded like Barney)

I know it couldn't exsist, but I still watched the freaking movie!

And you're both getting this point

SHUT UP AND GET ON THE DAMNED TOPIC.

Sad, very sad... who's up for smoothies?
I wonder what the other suits look like now, like the Heisei and the Millenium suits.

I'm sorry SuperSaiyan4Godzilla, your right, it's just kept calling me out on everything that I posted, it kinda got annoying, I just didn't know if I was making myself clear when I gave the reason why I wasn't a big fan of Minya.

But yeah let's get back on topic

Damn, I hate for those classic suits to decay like that, it's a shame....

I believe someone wanted to see these...

Gosh, just seeing these makes me wish I had seen them in their prime. They're in pretty poor shape, but you can just see the faded glory of these suits. Thanks, Legion.

Poor, poor Mothra....

Rodan actually looks pretty much the same.

Anguirus looked fine in those pictures. No wonder Toho kept putting him in the 70's movies.

Looks like Mechagodzilla's knees gave out. Jeez, if he shot his knee missiles he'd blow his legs off and oh man that'd be skreeonk funny.

Hedorah looks fluffy. Gigans in good order and the Yog's are in decent shape as well, but what's with that weird look gold Mogera looking character next to Kamacuras?
