What is your least favorite kaiju or mecha design?

Post by Gojira18 »

Following the "favorite kaiju and mecha designs", I thought I'd complete things with your LEAST favorite kaiju designs.
Here are some of MY least favorite designs
Godzilla: Ebirah, SoG, Megalon, Anime Godzilla
Mothra: Ebirah
Ghidorah: Godzilla vs Gigan
Gigan: 1973
Mechagodzilla: Heisei Mechagodzilla
Rodan: Destroy all Monsters
Anguirus: Godzilla Raids Again

Minilla and the look of the Godzilla suit from that movie.

The Heisei designs in general I don't like because of their thunder thighs. I prefer top-heavy monsters over the opposite.

I have to concur with Beast Blood here, the SOG suit is just really $hi**y looking. All Monsters Attack Minilla looks really bad too, and the Mothra puppet from EHOTD looks really worn out. The GRA suit for Godzilla looks really goofy too. The Gamera suits from the Showa era got less detailed as the series went on.

Keizer Ghidorah looks utterly atrocious. Those atrophied little wings look ridiculous and it has downright ugly gold and black color palette. The legs also look like they can barely support it's weight.

Curious question. What's wrong with 73 Gigan? I don't think he looks all that different from the 72 suit. Hell until the past few years I thought it was the same suit.

The Gamera monster Jiger is pretty ugly.

Sorry, I meant '72. I just prefer his FW design over the original.

Oh ok. I thought you were picking the 73 suit specifically. You meant Showa as a whole. I love them both equally.

Nah, I just meant '72 since they're basically the same

93' MG just looks ridiculous in my opinion. Said it once, will say it again. It looks like a mecha Barney.
Also agree with most opinions above other than Gigan. I don't dislike either of them. And the worst Godzilla hands down is GINO. I will NEVER consider 98's Zilla an incarnation of Godzilla in any way shape or form. I'll take Gabara over Zilla. If it wasn't supposed to be Godzilla, I wouldn't mind it so much though.

Godzilla: Godzilla Earth, Shin Godzilla(it had potential), SoG, Vs Megalon, Raids Again, 74, I like 75's head just not the body, 93/94.
Angurius: 55
Ghidorah: Keizer (Breakdown summed it up), GMK (I don't like the face nor the roar, much prefer the poster look), Space noodle.
