    Nothing so noble as Mothra's sacrifice to protect Godzilla. When he reached critical mass, you can see Mothra's wing pattern in the blast wave, and hear her cry. A wonderful little addition to show us their bond as protectors, and to each other. It really isn't explored otherwise, except to keep the plot moving.

    This movie is a huge love letter to the Godzilla franchise. The director Michael Dougherty has been a massive fan ever since he was a kid and the love for these monsters is definitely on the screen. Aside from Godzilla himself, the other three main players: Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah were also classic Japanese monsters that debuted after the success of Godzilla. The other monsters were original creations. Rodan had his solo film in 1956 whereas Mothra was in 1961 which were homaged by their Outpost number in this movie. Brief little thing with the twins and Mothra is that the original Japanese continuity had two twin priestesses dubbed Shobijin who acted as priestesses for Mothra who could be summoned by them. Rodan coming out of a volcano this movie is a nice nod to the original Rodan where he nests in a volcano. I will say though that King Ghidorah was done so good in this movie as a terrifying force. This is definitely my favorite version of Godzilla and Ghidorah rivalry as they are often seen as a Batman/Joker comparison. Ghidorah also has a lot of personality in this with how the heads bicker. The middle is the most intelligent, the right is the most savage, and the left is the most curious/derpy. Each of the heads actually had their own mo cap actor. Godzilla has had a lot of powerful enemies in past incarnations, but Ghidorah was the first one in the original Japanese Godzilla continuity that he couldn't beat on his own and he had to team up with Mothra and Rodan to fight him in Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster (1964). Ghidorah being an alien is also part of the original lore and the name “Monster Zero” is actually a nod to the film, Godzilla vs Monster Zero where Ghidorah is named Zero by an alien race. One last nod I'll point out is the oxygen destroyer weapon used in this was used in the very first Godzilla from 1954. I'll also say the film's composer, Bear McCreary (God of War) incorporated the classic Godzilla and Mothra themes into this beautifully. Overall this is a phenomenal kaiju film and I can't wait to see you guys continue and I'm happy that this universe is still going strong. Long live the king!

Cuz essentially Ghidorah IS the strongest Kaiju righter after Destroya... I'm basing it on the numbers of incarnations... Though I'm not too well versed... Just watched from KZread... But there's a lot of arguments and showing that it's Destroya, King Ghidorah, then Godzilla

    ⁠@@christianvictormariano1283I would say Ghidorah is probably still the most powerful villain based on his abilities and the damage he did, people say Evolved Godzilla is stronger than Thermo but the thing is cause of Ghidorahs regeneration I don’t think any form other than Thermonuclear Godzilla can kill Ghidorah, nothing has the sheer destructive power to other then that form I believe, Ghidorah can also get stronger by absorbing energy from other sources unlike most of the other villains we have seen, the only titans that can gain power through absorbing an energy source is from what I’ve seen Godzilla and Ghidorah (the Muto used it as food I think, they didn’t seem to gain power from it from what I understand).

    Fun fact! King Ghidorah was motion captured using three mocap actors at the same time, Jason Liles (who did double duty as Rodan) in the middle, Alan Maxson on the right, and Richard Dorton. The goal of this was to simulate how three heads with individual brains would work together for a common goal, with a commanding middle, aggressive right, and curious left. The heads also each have their own nicknames, Ichi for the middle, Ni for the right, and San for the left (translated as 1, 2, and 3 in Japanese), though the left head would be nicknamed “Kevin" by the wider Godzilla fandom, which would later be officially recognized by Legendary. Kevin has since become the subject of many memes. (note: Before mentions it, this comment was made before Holden named dropped the heads)

    This is my favourite of the Monsterverse movies. Seeing Gidohrah, Rodan and Mothra again with such great effects plus the Soundtrack by Bear McCreary that paid such a great homage to the original Godzilla and Mothra themes was just the cherry on top for me enjoying this. The human element was cool. I felt it was a nice essemble cast that got to shine and play their rules. The Main Character isn't useless and actually uses his skill-set to help unlike Brody who couldn't even disarm the bomb at the end of the first one despite all the built up of him being a explosives expert. I love this film. Its great. FUN FACT: John Goodman's Assistant from Kong Skull Island who survived is played by the Terminator 2 Actor in this one. That's meant to be the same character.

    King Ghidorah: a monster that came from Outer space not even one of the originals like the others and Godzilla‘s most biggest rivals as iconic as him Took a lot of monsters just to take him down Fun fact in this movie the left most head is named Kevin. Rodan: originally a small villain, more like more like a small pain in the ass either way Rodan actually started in his own solo film before joining Godzilla as a kind of small rival later on they build a friendship, but it was more like a competitive kind of type, but don’t expect him to Godzilla their friends now. Mothra: pretty much his mother nature had a kaiju form pretty much she is the most kindest compared to all of the other monsters, even having an island where people worship her Including two twins who call for her help they also gain respect for each other. The queen restricts the king and the king respects the queen for who they are by the way, she also had her own movies.

When he does the bursts, you can hear Mothra's cry during each one, and even see her wings in the blast.

    I've been waiting to you guys react to this movie, it's one of my favorites in the Monsterverse movies and seeing Big G, Mothra, Rodan and king Ghidorah together in an American movie is just awesome. This movie also shows the people designing these monsters and working on this movie love the old school Godzilla movies as well as pay homage to them such as the different outposts are named after the date the monsters original movies came out. Godzilla - Outpost 54 (Godzilla came out in 1954) Mothra - Outpost 61 (Mothra came out in 1961) Rodan - Outpost 56 (Rodan came out in 1956) Kong - Outpost 33 (Kong came out in 1933) King Ghidorah - Outpost 32 ( Its a nice reference to John Carter's The Thing which was outpost 31 making them neighbors)

    The reason serizawa feels the way he doesn’t about Godzilla is bc Godzilla killed his family inadvertently but he has come to terms with that and with nature he believes that’s the only way

    It would not surprise me if the Monsterverse never hits this level of action, hype, and reverence for the Godzilla franchise again. It simply mixes together a lot of the elements needed for a good Godzilla movie, and does it well. And the cherry on top is that the soundtrack is a masterpiece.

    I love this movie, I saw it 7 times in theaters. This was such a special movie for me, like the Avengers of Kaiju films. Getting to see all my childhood favorite kaiju on the big screen is all I've ever wanted. The score is incredible, especially Mothra's theme, brings a tear to my eye every time. The movie is also so visually beautiful. Every shot of the monsters is like Renaissance painting. This movie perfectly captures the essence of classic Godzilla movies in both the best and honestly worst ways, but the positives easily outweigh the negatives for me. I love this movie so much.

I took my wife (then fiancé) out to see it, and made a Godzilla fan out of her too Glad you all had fun! Edit: Ghidorahs beams are called ‘gravity beam.’ The lightning is caused by the atomic scrambling and gravitational distortion caused by Ghidorahs’ gravity beams.

    When it comes to collateral damage, in most scenes, when able, Godzilla tries to avoid hurting humans and at times even protecting them (like when he took the missile hit on purpose that was going destroy the bridge in his first movie.) However when humans start to shoot at him, or when fighting other titans, he cant pay attention to the little people at those points.

    I wouldn't say Godzilla is killing ''millions'' of people, I wouldn't say thousands or even hundreds. The only ones he's killed directly are those in the first movie when the tidal wave came in (and he had no way to not do that), and any that died during the fights, and those were indirect like when buildings fell and stuff. In the main fight in this one, it sure looked like Ghidorah had destoyed the area already so everyone there was either dead or had evacuated already, except for the main characters who arrived after.

    Jen saying her biggest fear is them running out of creativity as far as what they can do with Godzilla is both funny and ironic, since all of these characters are at least half a century old, King Kong - 91 years old Godzilla - 70 years old Rodan - 68 years old Mothra - 63 years old Ghidorah - 60 years old Mechagodzilla - 50 years old

    I was so excited for this movie when it was coming out as it has my favorite Godzilla villain and I’m so glad to see this movie did him justice. I was also happy to hear a cover for Blu Öyster Cults song “Godzilla” in the credits. It’s a shame that most of the human characters (mainly the villain) don’t return in any future installments I feel like they could have done something with them or at least give them a conclusion.

    When Godzilla is around...he absorbs the radiation so completely that nothing else is harmed. He actually leaves trails of new life wherever he goes. One of the newspapers in the end credits mentions it. I guess that's nature's way of balancing out the unintentional collateral damage he causes. People are totally safe near him, radiation-wise. Unless they set off a nuclear bomb like Serizawa lol or are too close when he goes thermonuclear like at the end of this movie. In these movies he's a force of nature. Not unlike a hurricane or an earthquake or the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. He's something that people have to make peace with not being able to stop or control and even learn that they shouldn't stop or control him. Their best plan is to figure out how to coexist and just let him do his thing because ultimately, he has humanity's best interest in mind, even if indirectly..

    You guys should also check out the Apple TV+ Monarch: Legacy of Monsters T.V. Series It 's set in two time periods. In between Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla King Of The Monsters. and before Kong: Skull Island. It stars Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell (John Walker from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and upcoming Thunderbolts *).They play the same character in the two different time periods. The series also features a younger version of John Goodman's character. It explores the beginnings of Monarch and its impact following Godzilla's return in the 2014 film. and yes, Godzlla does appear in the series along with new monsters. The show was just renewed for a second season this week.
