rockarollacola: Godzilla Films Ranked: Worst to First

EoinCofa 03.22.21	#1 is Gojira - From Mars to Sirius I hate Mothra
rockarollacola 03.22.21	Mothra is so fucking lame. Never understood the appeal. The only rendition of Mothra I actually find cool is her appearance in GMK.
EoinCofa 03.22.21	^agreed
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	Fukuda is rolling over in his grave at this list LMAO Nice list though, it really makes me want to make my own Godzilla list cuz there are some I agree with and some I don't (Biollante too low my man) Final Wars is tremendous and So is Shin Gojira Also, SpaceGodzilla is Heisei Era not Showa
rockarollacola 03.22.21	I can't believe I said GvSG was in the Showa era. That's embarrasing.
JeetJeet 03.22.21	"Mothra is so fucking lame" I thought I was the only one who thought Mothra sucked lol
JeetJeet 03.22.21	Also who's ready to see Kong get his bitchass whooped in 4k?
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	Me
rockarollacola 03.22.21	Wouldn't miss it
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	Though I get the sinking feeling they're gonna have Kong win cuz it's an American production.
rockarollacola 03.22.21	I don't think the studio would allow that. Could you imagine the outrage from the Godzilla fandom?
Sharenge 03.22.21	I feel like getting through every Godzilla film as an adult has got to be one of the greatest and most torturous challenges in cinema, probably just below getting through every film in the MCU
Shuyin 03.22.21	I fucking LOVE Godzilla!! OG movie will always be my favourite with Shin as a close second. Final Wars is peak ham Godzilla movies, followed by GMK and Godzilla against Mecha Godzilla, some of the Showa movies are awesome to watch with some friends, trust me, you wanna have some beers and go JET JAGGAAAAA with your bros hahahha The Heisei Mothra trilogy can be pretty lame but the final movie with Desghidorah or whatever it was called, is actually pretty cool. As for American versions, the best to me is 2014. 98 was FUN but also terrible at being a Godzilla movie. The more recent film was so godawfull I checked out halfway through, and I was hyped AF after seeing the trailers
DadKungFu 03.22.21	I remember thinking 7 was the coolest thing ever as a kid
Uzumaki 03.22.21	^^^^ fuuuuuck yaaaasssssss. Been a fan since I was 8 and that one was my third Goji movie I ever watched and it’s easily top 5 for me. Didn’t really bother with the anime series tho. Fuck, am I gonna have to do a Godzilla ranking as well?
Uzumaki 03.22.21	Also, @rollacola, if you haven’t already, you’ve absolutely gotta check out the heisei Gamera trilogy. Directed by the guy who did GMK, these are actually better than most, if not almost all, the Godzilla series.
rockarollacola 03.22.21	The Heisei Gamera trilogy is golden. Some of the best giant monster movies ever made.
Zorg 03.22.21	Mothra sucks, but those singing twins...well I hope they suck too.
Sharenge 03.22.21	Mothra wrecks face
bloc 03.22.21	27 is so freakin underrated I still can't believe it. It has everything you want in an adventure movie imo
Shemson 03.22.21	Best American adaptation was Mecha Barbura Streisand let’s face it, Robert Smith kicks ass
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	"I don't think the studio would allow that. Could you imagine the outrage from the Godzilla fandom?" Most of the American public has had Kong etched in history through his tragic story. In most of the American movies, even Skull Island, Kong has always had a humanistic quality that endears him to the audience. And so American studios may feel biased to have Kong prevail in order to maintain his image as an anti-hero underdog. In Japan, Kong is nothing more than a giant gorilla who smashes shit. Hence why that wouldn't be an issue over there. There is a large Godzilla fanbase in America for sure, but Kong is an American icon ingrained in our DNA from countless adaptations and pop culture showings. No matter how much you try to distance yourself from the past, bias always prevails.
Shuyin 03.22.21	Didn't the old one end up having two different versions one for the US with Kong winning and the other for Japan in which Godzilla won? IDK, I read about it somewhere.. I like the idea of a versus movie but lets be honest here, Godzillas gonna get a massive nerf lmao
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	"Didn't the old one end up having two different versions one for the US with Kong winning and the other for Japan in which Godzilla won? IDK, I read about it somewhere.." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_vs._Godzilla#Dual_ending_myth Basically, in Japanese version, it is a tie with Kong coming out a little better. In the American version, Kong wins hands down. "I like the idea of a versus movie but lets be honest here, Godzillas gonna get a massive nerf lmao" Pretty much. It could also be seen as within America's general interest to either have Kong win or draw. This might seem far fetched, but I can guarantee you the US government is paying absolute attention to the upcoming movie. Right now patriotism is at an all time low and the studio may have interfered with the direction of the movie so as not to harm what is a delicate situation in the country. We may be small in comparison to China, but we are still a sizeable box office. Then there is also China's box office which many studios are trying to cash in on right now. They're no fans of us, but they hate Japan even more and the idea of Godzilla prevailing might not sit well with Chinese audiences. To many, Godzilla is a symbol of Japanese Imperialism, and seeing him succeed over Kong might not go over well. There is a lot more riding on this movie than I think anybody actually realizes.
DadKungFu 03.22.21	WWIII getting triggered by King Kong vs Godzilla would be so fitting for this timeline
Shuyin 03.22.21	Hmm you're not wrong. Studios have been cashing in on China for a long time, that's normally where the big bucks come from. Have you seen the differences between the American and Chinese posters of The Forces Awakens? That's messed up.. I wonder if they're gonna puss out and have Goji and Kong teaming up to fight another monster, that would be lame. I wanna see Godzilla win, also he needs to grab a big fucking tree and shove it up Kongs ass
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	We will see. The safest option would be to have either a tie or for both to team up and fight another monster. Even then though, someone's going to be pissed no matter what outcome happens.
CaliggyJack 03.22.21	Holy fuck I was proven right, almost. I'm on twitch and I just saw a quick 10 second trailer for GvK and oh my God they are going all in pro-Kong. Like all you can hear is dialogue of people saying "He's coming after Kong." "We need Kong" "He's our only hope." And all the trailer footage is just Kong. LMAO I fucking called it
Uzumaki 03.22.21	‘Murica.
rockarollacola 03.23.21	Every fucking trailer has "WE NEED KONG. THE WORLD NEEDS HIM", like enough with that fucking line already. I understand them giving Kong the spotlight considering he's easier to relate with, but I wanna see that monkey get destroyed. also "Mothra sucks, but those singing twins...well I hope they suck too." [2]
CaliggyJack 03.23.21	"Every fucking trailer has "WE NEED KONG. THE WORLD NEEDS HIM", like enough with that fucking line already." Yeah I get the feeling this movie is gonna be very predictable..
rockarollacola 03.23.21	I stumbled upon a leaked screenplay in a forum a few years back, and from what I've seen in the trailers, it's 100% accurate. I'm over spoilers at this point, and just wanna see the fucking movie already. The constant delays this film had crushed my soul for too long.
CaliggyJack 03.23.21	Yeah even if Kong wins I still think it'll be a great film. They've done fine so far.
rockarollacola 03.23.21	Even if the film is a total piece of garbage, I'll probably still love it.
Shuyin 03.23.21	D.. did Kong just block Gojis atomic breath? That's such bullshit! Should've been Kong vs Zilla
TheAntichrist 03.23.21	kotm 2019 was fucking awful
AnimalsAsSummit 03.23.21	Love Shin Godzilla. One of my faves.
bloc 03.23.21	You know Zilla and Kong are gonna team up at the end of the movie to fight some bigger foe and then part their separate ways
Zorg 03.23.21	I heard a rumor that Kong is going to win but it turns out to be Mechagodzilla
Shuyin 03.23.21	Kongs gonna team up with Gamera to take on my boy Goji
bloc 03.23.21	Mechakoopa > Mechagodzilla
