Megalon is fun but Gigan is by far the better movie.

You’ve made your last delivery Megalon fans. Sorry you got twisted up in this scene, from where y'all are in the poll it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. Truth is...This poll was rigged from the start

Godzilla vs Gigan has a much better story, but vs Megalon is a much more consistently fun and entertaining movie.

I like GodZilla vs megalon more. I think it is more memorable to me. I just saw a few replies here. I have to disagree on some no hard feelings off course. I think megalon has better color. Gigan may have better production design but I like how megalon is mostly filmed on location I think that is more memorable to me. Gigan to me is rather forgettable. Megalon is more memorable because of the fast pace, more consistent suits in the film whereas gigan had GodZilla switch to the awful son of GodZilla suit, more memorable colors, has an underrated film megalon, and the final battle, unlike gigan where you sometimes had the monsters move at a slow speed, it feels more faster. Gigan may be the better film but for my money megalon is highly entertaining and it doesn’t take itself seriously and has a consistent tone. I hope to good I didn’t sound pompous or arrogant or abrasive. It’s just simply my opinion. What do you think.

I think Godzilla vs Gigan had great concepts but needed tightening or to explore them more. A remake with some satire of Disney and other entertainment companies for the theme park would be great. It needs to be better explained WHY the aliens are hiring an artist for their company. My idea was to make it an actual themepark, but intendedd for roach people.

Godzilla vs Megalon is more forgivable in its lunacy. The only issue I think is the cut scenes about the Seatopians reconsidering their unleashing of Megalon would make the ending flow better.

One thing that makes vs Gigan notable to me is its relevance to today's society. The roaches depend on their machines, and so do we in a sense. There are those who are so attached to their smart phones that being asked to go without for a single day seems like asking them to cut off their hand.

Godzilla vs. Gigan has a lot of faults, but it still remains a favorite of mine.

Godzilla vs. Megalon remains one of my least favorite of the franchise. That said, at least it has Fukuda's ability to instill good pacing in his films, which does make it more enjoyable for me versus Godzilla Raids Again or the anime trilogy.
