Cringeworthy/Awkward Moments that Nobody Seems to Talk About
We all know it was weird as hell when Godzilla started flying in v. Hedorah. We all know it was bizarre when Godzilla slid on his tail and bashed Megalon. We're all familiar with the infamous phrase, "Take that you dinosaur!"
But what about those weird moments that nobody else seems to pick up on?
For instance, one that constantly sticks out in my head is the whole scene in Mechagodzilla Heisei where that guy rides a stiff mechanical pteranodon and cracks a series of horrible jokes. It literally makes me cringe more than anything else in the entire Godzilla series, because I know I'm part of the target audience and I'm supposed to be accepting this. It's horrendous, but nobody else seems to take note of it.

You know, whenever I watch 'Astro Monster' with anyone who isn't a kaiju fan, they hysterically laugh every time the Xilians are on the screen due to their appearance. I actually never realized how goofy they look, but I'm always cringing now when I see them if I'm watching it with people who find the series comical for reasons like that.
The lake scene in Megalon--as well as the little motorbike chase scene. And those kids shorts are definitely cringe-worthy.
Most of the dialogue in 'Space Godzilla', and I'm not exaggerating.
M11's running scenes in GvKG

Any scene with Little Godzilla in ''Spacegodzilla'', along with that terrible asteroid chase scene.

The really stiff Ghidorah prop used for flying scenes in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.

Nobody's mentioned Ghidorah's flying prop in ''Gigan'' yet?

Re: Cringeworthy/Awkward Moments that Nobody Seems to Talk A
I see the trauma of Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth has blocked itself from your memory. That had two entried into the atrocious Heisei-era pantheon of shitty flying props. Kudos to Toho in GxM for finally getting some technology in there to fix it (which, of course, ends up making the non-animated flying moments look that much worse).Cimmerian Dragon wrote:but Megaguirus gets my award for the most shitty flight-scenes in a single film.

Damn it I just miss the original King Ghidorah.

and that moment when they skreonked their roars in the battle when they were probably trying to talk to one another...

Gigan losing his ability to fly in Zone Fighter. He parachutes into action.
Also, the lack of his buzz saw in Megalon* and Zone Fighter
The life size mock up of Godzilla's foot in Return of Godzilla
No fangs on Anguirus in Godzilla VS Mechagodzilla
*stock footage doesn't count.

Re: Cringeworthy/Awkward Moments that Nobody Seems to Talk A
Gotta agree that Pteranodon Enthusiast Man and the musical plant from GvsMGII were pretty cringe-worthy.
Little Godzilla, too. He's worse than Minya, because at least Minya wasn't completely out of place in the often silly Showa-verse. A cute, kiddy thing like LG had no place at all among the Heisei monsters.

The missiles hitting the painted backdrop at the end of Godzilla's raid in the first film.
The "melting" rocks in "Godzilla vs. The Thing".
