But it still was. :/

Not even Ifukube's music could cancel out the looks of that suit.

Yeah. It had loose rubber hanging off it all over. Positively cringeworthy.

Fake Goji looked like he just did a fusing with King Kong, but that would explain the new liking lighting.

I didn't know we were using Fake Goji as well in that case I change my vote to fake goji it makes the son of godzilla suit look good.

Oh come on! I personally find it to be one of the most wonderfully heartbreaking moments of the whole series, and in a good way.

Son of Godzilla suit and Sea Monster suit. Although the first was one of the best suits in a showa film. (Portrayed wise)
Unstoppable Fury , Unthinkable Power , Unbreakable Will.

It was a nice scene.... Too bad Godzilla couldn't be there to share it with us. He was probably back at his trailer snorting coke off a stripper. Meanwhile Honda had to get Crackie Monster, Cookie Monster's junkie cousin, to fill in for him.

If it was the 1985 Godzilla, he'd be drinking a Dr. Pepper....

SoG suit. No contest.

Also what's with the hate for the GRA suit? I kinda liked it...

The Godzilla Vs Gigan suit was always down right discusting to me, second to the Godzilla Vs the Sea Monster suit

Is it weird that I actually LIKE the SoG suit?

Idk why, but I just like it.

Ugliest? I'd say the Cookie Monster suit from GvtSM

......Wow.

If I'm deciphering you're garbled mess of a post correctly, you're implying that Godzilla in this film "likes lighting" (which in and of itself, makes zero sense) because Mechagodzilla, who is disguised as Godzilla, just happens to "look like King Kong" (according to you), therefore, this is why Godzilla "likes lighting".

Yeah, because you know, that all makes perfect sense, right?

I'm talking about the fake godzilla from the end of TOMG which was Godzilla and the fusing with kong and lighting part was a joke.

It's the same suit.

As for your "joke", I'm pretty sure it was lost on everybody.

G55 and G67. The original G73 suit (GvsMegalon) was pretty bad as well, with its goofy face and eyes, but by the time TOG rolled around, they had made enough changes to the face and it ended up being a decent suit (I really wish Marmit would make a MH figure of the 74 and 75 suits, and their 73 suit was dead on accurate and nailed the G73 suit's look and spirit perfectly).

I consider Daisenso-Goji to be a rather bland mid-point design between Mosu-Goji and Soshingecki-Goji.

I recall people labeling the Kingoji as frog-like, but the one that appears frog-like to me would have to be the Daisensogoji and the revised Mosugoji that was used for Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster. The things looks like they had duck lips with the wide maw of a frog, and their eyes are less crocodilian and more like an amphibian. At least the Kingoji had clearly-defined reptilian features. The Daisensogoji's upper torso also looks rather baggy, as if he was wearing a loose sweater. In my humble opinion, the KinGoji, the ShoshingekiGoji and the MegaroGoji had defined mass to their frames. I would understand if I'm the only one with this opinion...

I certainly agree with you on King-Goji. Soshingecki-Goji and Megaro-Goji look kind of skinny to me, though.
