24:00 Just a correction: Godzilla GMK was not fueled by the angry spirits of deceased Japanese soldiers, but rather the angry and vengeful spirits from victims killed by the Japanese imperial army during ww2. So really the spirits would be from areas like China, the Philippines, Korea ect... This was commentary on how the Japanese government had not taken any accountability for Japans massacres and war crimes, and instead had chosen to deny or ignore anything to do with it. Instead the government wants to forget about its actions during ww2 and sweep it under the rug. Thats why Godzilla had such a hatred and lust for revenge against Japan in this movie.

Shin is what actually got me into Godzilla. You feel a sadness for him knowing he’s in constant pain and is quite literally screaming in pain. It’s a horrible life but knowing what he *BECOMES* which is literally omnipotent I just can’t stress enough how cool this Godzilla is, regardless of some minor design flaws but I think that’s on purpose. He’s not supposed to be like… Comfortable. He’s a constantly evolving pain stricken being that is just trying to die, survive, or both. I think he’s supposed to look stiff and disproportionate because he’s constantly changing and he’s still in his infancy. Sorry for the rant I just love Shin. ❤ You’re obviously welcome to your own opinions.

Godzilla vs. Gigan was also the last film in the Showa era where legendary suit actor Haruo Nakajima would play the big G.

As a huge Evangelion and Godzilla fan i can't help but adore the Shin design, not only because it looks intimidating and goes back to the roots as it name states, but also because of the tragedy surrounding its painful and aggressive evolution. Shin Goji looks like so much more than a giant monster; it looks like an otherworldly threat: a Lovecraftian-like entity that the main characters struggle to understand, and, according to Hideaki Anno, that was the path its evolution would eventually take.

*peak kid friendly

The really sad thing about Tora-Goji is that there WAS an honest-to-God traditional Godzilla designed and modeled, along with a completely different script that had him facing a fire-bird sort of monster (I think the opponent’s name was Griffon, but don’t quote me on that), but it all got scrapped once Roland Emmerich replaced the original choice for director. Emmerich has openly stated that he knew nothing about Godzilla and had no intention of doing any sort of research to at least get some basics down, and thought the whole concept was stupid which is why he went with a disaster movie approach, on top of that being his specialty. But like most things, the original ‘98 concept made its way to the internet, and he looks FANTASTIC. He’s greenish instead of black or charcoal colored, but he looks like a very cool spin on the Heisei model, upright but with less folds and wrinkles in his skin (especially on the legs) and a mouth that looks like it took a hint of inspiration from the American alligator. Emmerich not only disrespected the hell out of Big G with GINO, but denied us one of the coolest looks ever designed for him.

I don't usually care much for ranking videos, but I love Godzilla and the history behind the designs is awesome to see!

Some of the reasons for putting certain suits in place sis very weird, like saying a bunch of positives about the singularity point Godzilla, then saying how he is super big from the waist down and his face looks weird in the front puts him all the way down in D tier. I’m just more or less confused on how the ratio of good vs bad goes into the ranking.

Godzilla Minus One was one of the beat movies to come out in December! I went and watched it four times!

2:27 Thank you for finally saying this along with minus one so many people keep saying Godzilla skin is green but it’s not in the poster it was. But the original was black or grey, bumpy, and rocky looking to immtate burns people get due to radiation.

The last Godzilla design was from a chibi comedy anime called Chibi Godzilla. Technically, not really Godzilla, but his son. Season 1 had him giving Chibi MechaGodzilla a tour around Monster Island and introducing him to his friends, who are also chibi versions of classic Godzilla monsters.

In regards to atomic colors, Legendary Godzilla and Shin fall under the higher spectrum of radiation levels. With purple then pink being on top with a pink level equivalent to first responders radiation levels at Chernobyl. Radiation level colors go from: Green > Blue > Purple > Magenta/Pink

Evolved Godzilla is my favorite. I love pink so much, and I just vibe with pink Godzilla so much.

I think Zilla is a pretty good design for a Kaiju but it misses the mark for a Godzilla design. Although arguably it is the most "realistic" Godzilla we've had.

Minus 1 number one for me, that shot of the camera panning over to his face when he’s freezing up but still charging up is INSANE, and on a less that 15 mill budget, holy shit. The 2014 deserved B, and KOTM deserved A.

Also as a long lanky guy with hands, I feel seen.

Where did you buy that Godzilla plush?! I want one~. Great video!

As someone who became engrossed into Godzilla movies early on, the 98 Zilla Godzilla holds a special place in my heart. It was the first Godzilla movie I'd ever seen, and I immediately loved what it was. I loved the look, the sounds, the speed, the music, all of it was a spectacle...which is probably why it fell flat, in the end (with the jets and all). It wasn't trying to give a message through the character like '54 Gojira, or the later Shin Gojira and Minus One Gojira...it's a spectacle monster, like those of the Showa Era, nothing to see here but good times, laughs, and/or action! That was it's flaw; too much about the spectacle, not enough about the seriousness of the situation the movie presented (i.e. a new mutant creature that is practically unstoppable, and is multiplying like wildfire). I definitely think his portrayal in that movie was absolutely weak, and yet: I loved how much more natural of an approach Tri-Star was going with Godzilla in that one; more of a survivor/scavenger, rather than a nuclear blast needing a doomsday sci-fi device that isn't real to kill the monster. I can appreciate the realism of jet fighters taking down a big dinosaur, versus a mad scientist making an even WORSE doomsday weapon than a nuclear bomb to kill something made from nuclear bombs. This Godzilla was fast as heck, cunning, and was the first time we were seeing a Godzilla burrow deep underground and navigate _under_ a city, rather than just totally level it. In a major sense, going the Iguana route was really fascinating to me, esp. as an adult now. Do I hate Zilla? Far from it, he's the reason I love Godzilla today. That said though: I think it's certainly lacking in a lot of core-Godzilla aspects (being way too horizontal, as you stated, not having an atomic breath, and being extremely weak to weapons). Did Toho's monsters look better in the end, absolutely. I think Zilla deserved a C Tier, at least. And with the animated Zilla, a B honestly (because they actually made him use atomic breath, instead of hot sauce indigestion gas from the 98 Zilla film). I think they were awesome to look at at the time they were made (esp in certain scenes with the lighting, because the CGI was stellar for the 90s), and I have a lot of respect for what they were trying to do with the vision of the film being less about a bi-product of nuclear force in the form of an unstoppable monster, and more of a terrifying creature that is trying to live, because it's the only one of its kind (which also made the idea of the baby Zillas terrifying, because a world full of them would be a nightmare!). But I do agree, Zilla is not the best, by a landslide...I do think though Zilla deserved more than bottom of the tier-list. The massive reason we all dislike the film though isn't because of Godzilla himself, I think...it's the human characters...they're all kinda sucky...and that's too bad. But hey, that's just this fan's opinion. Great vid, overall. Cheers.

Awesome premise for a tier list! I often forget how long Godzilla has been around, and this is a perfect presentation of all his appearances! I’m quite partial to the monsterverse Godzilla, but that flaming, steaming Godzilla is so good I’m going to have to track down that movie! (Also… carbon monoxide?! How did that actor survive?!)

I swear this is the first vid I've seen with a face reveal. Nice to see ya, Steve.

Godzilla minus 1's design is the only one to have actually win an Oscar

"idfk where this little guy came from, g tier" is the most fitting reaction possible to chibi goji.

I'm so happy to see all the godzilla content as a huge fan of the kotm. I was wondering if you have plans to talk about the anime trilogy or singular point?

Shin Godzilla is one of my favorites. He looks so terrifying, and his body looks so decayed. If you look at the tip of the tail. It has a face. His atomic breath is awesome. I even love Godzilla Vs Destroyah design too. His burned form is iconic, that it was used in Godzilla Unleashed.
