karamazov80 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I don't mean to sound critical of Mothra. He is great at some things, like being a spectator to a Godzilla/Rodan volleyball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Rodan would be as good a spectator? I sure don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Man, the new movie is pretty darn good. But nobody got a electrical tower to the groin, so points off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I always thought Rodan was a close second (behind Godzilla) in popularity when it came to the Toho franchise. Maybe not? I always liked King Ghidorah, but Rodan is up there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Do you think Rodan would be as good a spectator? I sure don't Good point. Rodan would have knocked that rock out of the sky, and then proceeded to kick both their asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked King Ghidorah, but Rodan is up there, too. Mothra, worldwide, is probably actually second place since she got her own ongoing movie series whereas Rodan got a one-off and never quite managed to get his own "Godzilla vs" movie whereas Mothra has... a few actually. Ghidorah is my personal second but Mothra is just so damn popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmeaux Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Provided Rodan could get past the power and pressure of Mothra's flutter attack! Not a problem. Mothra doesn't want to lose piggyback ride privileges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Does anyone have a chronological listing of all the Godzilla movies? I tried Google, but was not satisfied with the results. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I hope you mean release order. Because there is a somewhat loose chronology in Godzilla. However it mostly follows release order with the exception of Destroy All Monsters which takes place at the end of the Showa era (after Terror of Mechagodzilla) Showa Era 1. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Gojira) 2. Godzilla Raids Again 3. King Kong vs Godzilla 4. Mothra vs Godzilla 5. Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster 6. Invasion of Astro Monster (Godzilla vs Monster Zero) 7. Godzilla vs The Sea Monster 8. Son of Godzilla 9. Destroy all Monsters (Chronologically final story of Showa era) 10. All Monsters Attack (Do not watch this. Painful story and dubiously canonical as it takes place in a boy's imagination) 11. Godzilla vs Hedorah (Godzilla vs the Smog Monster) 12. Godzilla vs Gigan (Godzilla on Monster Island) 13. Godzilla vs Megalon 14. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 15. Terror of Mechagodzilla (End of Showa era. If you are watching in the theoretical chronological order, Destroy All Monsters is next) Heisei Era (New Continuity) 1. Return of Godzilla (Created as series reboot. Direct sequel to King of the Monsters ignoring all others) 2. Godzilla vs Biollante 3. Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (Personal favorite) 4. Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth 5. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II (Not actually sequel to Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. New timeline.) 6. Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla 7. Godzilla vs Destoroyah (End of Heisei series, death of Godzilla) Millennium Series (Hardly any internal canon. Will indicate what is sequel to what) 1. Godzilla 2000 (Sequel to King of the Monsters) 2. Godzilla vs Megaguirus (Sequel to King of the Monsters and related to monster from Rodan) 3. Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (Sequel to King of the Monsters, psychotic premise, must watch. Baragon's in here too) 4. Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (Sequel to King of the Monsters) 5. Godzilla Tokyo SOS (Sequel to Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, related to Mothra) 6. Godzilla Final Wars (Sequel to f**king everything with basically every monster ever. Sure it's not in continuity with everything else, but watch this last and the payoff is beautiful. In continuity with Godzilla 1998) Remakes 1. Godzilla 1998 (It which must not be named) 2. Godzilla 2014 (Go see it and judge for yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Painful storyFrom catching up on these on Netflix, I would say that applies to every Godzilla movie they're showing apart from the first one, which itself has problems due to shoehorning in Raymond Burr spouting exposition. Is anyone really watching these for the dramatic storytelling? With the aliens, and the woman with the implants controlling Mechagodzilla, and the fairies interpreting Mothra, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stories are often dumb, but they're still clearly wanting to be monster movies. This one... fuck if I know what it was trying to be.

elmeaux Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'll take All Monsters Attack over Final Wars any day. Seriously, take every annoying anime trope, turn it up to 11, and shoehorn into a live action movie and that's Final Wars. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Shanester Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 This months Horrorhound has a really nice break down of the different Godzilla movies and roughly what happens in each. They totally gloss over the 1998 movie. The different incarnations of "baby Godzilla" are discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I don't think we're pursuing it. Even if we wanted to make a bank, as well, there are only the two other monsters in it, and they're very similar. As it stands, we've got a lot of monsters to make.
