I think the thumbnail is a bit of a hot take, but my video really dives deep into why the public perception might see GxK that way. I tried to be as fair as possible to both, while still giving my own opinion on it. Thank you for watching regardless!
Refreshing to finally see a video that isn't just "minus one master piece! legendary lizard boooo!" (even though the thumbnail is a little misleading) and instead actually shows the pros and cons of each interpretation of the character and explains how this versatility has been a staple of Godzilla almost since his inception.

I like both movies, I even say so at the final thoughts portion of my video. But thank you for watching!

These movies can only be compared by the one character they both share, Godzilla. Other than that, these movies are beyond different from one another. They are polar opposites, each films representing different aspects of Godzilla, and how he's made it to be 70 years old. These two should not be compared to eachother, as both are reaching for different goals and stories.

Thank you for watching! However I disagree that they aren't worth comparing. These are the two most recent Godzilla movies in the public eye, with the average movie goer hearing over and over "GxK bad, Minus One good". This video was made to analyze WHY people have been saying that, and if it holds any water. Of course there are movies that share a similar feel to Minus One better than GxK, but thats what makes the comparison more interesting. I do like both of these versions of Godzilla!

@@wariobrosz You know, I think when it comes to something that's worth being compared to something else, it's really just an opinion. An opinion that I can respect, whether it's different from mine or not. I absolutely loved GxK and it was the first Monsterverse film I got to see in theaters, which made me beyond happy. I also loved Godzilla Minus One a lot too. Both films were fun to watch. Anyone who thinks they're worth being compared to each other, isn't bad. The same goes for those who think they're not worth being compared to each other. I respect both opinions, and will stay that way. If you liked GxK more or Minus One more, then that's awesome. I can't hate anyone who has a different opinion (plus both movies were great in my opinion). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just hope one day everybody comes to that realization, and learns to respect the other's opinion. Great video, by the way.

I’m a little surprised how heated the comment section got lol. You made a respectable comparison of 2 films that practically beg to be compared. The average movie goer isn’t an expert on Godzilla cinematic history, they’re there to see a fun film. I enjoyed it.
my fav mv movie is sure gxk 8.9/10 theres people uploading toho movie in yt without copyright, im gonna watch the return of godzilla
I say these two are the peak representations of what Godzilla is, was, and can be. They're two sides of one coin.
Personally I don't think the movies are the problem here, sure GXK didn't hold up as much as Minus One did in the *same* right, but was still charming in its *own* way and I had fun watching both movies. Just proves that the kaiju genre can have multiple themes. The problem (at least imo) are the fans. I swear, in every video about any of the two movies, you'd always see those power scalers 🤡 or just straight up mv 12 year olds starting a war in the comments about random bs that don't even mattered in the movies, some people really just can't not have a temper tantrum every few movies released 🤦♂️

Godzilla minus one:a more serious move that has a deeper message and a dark theme to it Godzilla x kong:a more fun and goofy movie with a great villain and character development Though i personality prefer minus one since its more serious, a deeper meaning, and a throw back to the original 1954 Godzilla where Godzilla was a monster that embodys nuclear weapons. Both Godzilla movies are great, in fact all Godzilla movies are good in there own way.. Yes..... Even THAT one(shows picture of zilla 1998)

13:55 I agree that the charecters in gxk arent the best and that the human characters in -1 were great , but to be honest what was said in 13:55 also applied to -1. as much as i love -1 and that i will enjoy re watching it I felt like i was just waiting for godzilla to show up but with a more enjoyable commercial break. it could be that i just lack some sympathy for the humans as when i saw godzilla level ginza i was actually getting hyped and enjoying the destruction where as i heard that viewers where worried for the people and that people where sad that godzilla used his breath
1:39 best part lol
Honestly, It's because Japan (For the most part) actually remembers what Godzilla, or in this case, Gojira, Is supposed to represent. He represents the damage that was WW2, Specifically the bombs dropped on Tokyo, Where it was a GIANT tragedy to Japan, So Toho made a movie that basically tells us the radioactive effect that said bombings could have and the aftermath that said bombs could also have. Gojiras original design for the 1954 film literally having his head shaped like a mushroom cloud. Which continues to stick around, most obvious in Shin Godzilla.
Both version try to accomplish COMPLETELY DIFFERENT with Godzilla. One is a guardian of nature, or the personification of nature itself, and the other is the origin of the monster, which is an allegory for nuclear destruction. Most critics or "movie review" channels get this entire thing wrong because they think they understand Godzilla because they watched fucking 2 movies.
Monster Zero vs King Kong(2024) vs Shimu(2024)
I’ve seen your replies, yes they are worth comparing and that’s why you did this. But what’s the point? It’s already been done several times the Godzilla fans are getting annoyed. It’s clear they are two different types of Godzilla movies so why even compare? You make good points though.

Personally, I think the human story is executed perfectly. A monster movie is really meant to have a basic human storyline, since, well, they’re just there to have the plot be followable and sometimes exposition. They’re there for the explaining aspect, similar to how the human characters were for the Showa era, hence why they’re “bad” characters. Not saying the movie is 100% perfect, it has it’s flaws, but they’re easily tolerable and don’t degrade from the fun time.

To be honest, the monster fights in GxK are entertaining, but Minus One feels more grounded. When we see MinusGoji, we can truly see and feel how massive and heavy he is. In GxK the monsters move like they weigh as much as humans.

You're right. In GxK, we don't feel weight and massiveness of the monsters. Even GvK showed this better than GxK.
Something that bugs me about Jia is that she could've been given hearing aids, so she communicate with other people using words rather than the hands doing all the word, and you have to insert subtitles on the screen to know what she's saying, but still be thought sign language when speaking to something like Kong.

Need to fix something is The serum on the Gloves is not Frosbite Serum It more like a Pain Killers serum In the moive it didn't say it frostbite serum
Godzilla Japanese version: A Force of Nature and a real terror as part of their PTSD of Nuclear bomb of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Godzilla American Version: Anti-Hero Giant Glowing Lizard.
I dont even think the action was better in gxk, Id definetly say films like GVK have much better action, but gxks just feels so cheap, results of the lower budget and strange choice to completely drop the weight in the monsters that even gvk and kotm attempted to have. Other than the suplex snd Kong using suko as a bat, I really dont think its that great. Great video btw, brought a lot to the table, and its very well edited, from one small creator to another, your channel has a bright future🙏
If you want to see a movie about the devastating affects of war, watch Minus One. If you want to see a giant lizard and monke beating tha absolute shit out of each other, watch GXK
12:10 the world went haywire and started doing giant riots upon just learning monsters exist
Tbh, the only reason I watched GxK was because of the fight scenes, those were the only entertaining bits of the movie. The writing in general was bad, and the way they brought back Mothra was actually just BS.
No matter what G man is 🔛🔝
Actually, the humans attacked him when he was in his pre-evolved form
To be honest, humans are the most pointless characters in monster movies. If you set up a cast of monsters that all have their own separate emotions and personalities, why humans unless one of the characters origins depends on humans? you already have these humanized kaiju that experience emotions and character development with their own perks and quirks, Humans are not needed to be the main focus! I loved the newest movie because it gave me exactly what I wanted, a ton of action that has to do with the monsters, and they actually gave some of the monsters character development, Godzilla is now permanently chill with King Kong, Kong Learns how to be a father, and the newest ice character has been set free. We need more of this!

Means you’re not lying
These are two completely different films. How can you compare two different films? one is about action while the other one is about war there are no fight scenes only destruction. Godzilla Kong was supposed to be bunny cool action packed. Those are the polar opposite things minus one does so compare both films if there’s nothing they have in common.

God pls stop both Movies were amazing if you wanna hear a stupid complaint about Shin Godzilla and Minus One Here 80% of Shin Godzilla is just humans have a meeting and 75% of Minus One is just trauma dump see i can turn a good thing to bad thing too it's not just GXK
