It just felt so petty by Toho, especially when Heisei Gamera had absolutely clowned them in terms of movie quality.

If i'd directed GFW,that brat would have been actually eaten by Kumonga (off-screen,o' course cuz we already know that Toho frowns upon thier monsters doing such things...(sigh😢😢😢). Creepy little brat.

Agree I don’t get what’s with people destroying toys for views on the internet it just a wast of money and dangerous.

Great stuff! Warning: Many words ahead! It is my humble opinion that Kumonga's role as the antagonist of Son of Godzilla is among the most impressive "kaiju villain" performances in any single film. I’m not talking about fan favorites who have built up reputations over multiple appearances...this is looking at how Kumonga serves the narrative of a single film. Many kaiju villains are a bit abstract in the threat they pose. Yes, they’re undeniably destructive, but they rarely directly threaten human protagonists, and moving to another continent would often put our protags out of harm’s way. But Kumonga’s one of the rare kaiju that fixates on humans, and combining that with the small island setting, it’s a direct, aggressive threat to every single other character in the film, human and kaiju alike. Furthermore, out of that cast, Godzilla’s literally the only character that has any chance of fighting back against Kumonga on his own. Kumonga is also planted and paid off very effectively. You hear it described ominously in Saeko’s father’s journal. Saeko points out its lair, which our protags are forced to traverse in order to retrieve the red water. You have moments of tension as Goro knocks boulders down into its lair. Then finally Minilla and Kamacuras’s scuffle unearth it. From this point on, Kumonga is an absolutely relentless threat, pursuing our heroes and trapping them in a cave. It also effortlessly defeats both a Kamacuras and Minilla. Having a “fodder” kaiju like Kamacuras serves the film well, as we see the effects of its toxic stinger and how immediately lethal it is, which makes its advance on an immobilized Minilla all the more alarming, and Godzilla’s arrival a fantastic, cathartic moment. Kumonga then proves to be a very formidable foe to the king himself. It has that classic memorable moment when it plays dead, it effectively takes part in the first “beam clash” of the series...with its web, it shrugs off several blasts from Godzilla, and it physically overpowers him when it rises to its full height. Minilla mastering the atomic ray was absolutely essential to Kumonga’s defeat here. As you said, Kumonga’s design and the masterful puppetry help sell Kumonga as well. It remains one of the best practical-effect giant spiders in film, and the full-size leg prop helps it interact with human characters in a way few kaiju get to (I just wish the shots combining the leg prop and the body lined up differently, because in the film it looks like the leg is coming from Kumonga’s mouth. But that’s just nitpicking). Also, Kumonga's theme is really unsettling and does a great job at putting you "on edge." Unfortunately, it seems really hard to find. The track that scores the final battle, "Godzilla vs. Kumonga," is all over, but the motif that plays when Kumonga first emerges and antagonizes humans doesn't seem well represented, at least on KZread. Tl;dr: Kumonga in Son of Godzilla is one of the best-realized kaiju and kaiju “performances” in the entire genre, and the fact the spider often gets dismissed or lumped into the “generic animal” designation is a huge disservice.

Thank you for writing this. Kumonga is an impressive kaiju in terms of narrative and practical effects, and it's always wonderful to see it get the appreciation it deserves,

Very cool stuff. The thumbnail is really eye catching the the video was well put together. Maybe one day Telesdon will make the cut. Just love the little earthworm lizard. His Powered form is my fav honestly. Love that armor blue look.

Awesome video man! Really enjoying these and can't wait for the next one!

Thank you for these amazing videos professor!

GREAT job. Very interesting information on one of classic kaijus. You have earned my sub and like. Keep up the good work.

great to see neww creators in the kaiju sphere. great work. i would love more ultraman videos since they dont have much content out there for english fans

Wow! You deserve more subscribers!

Hey this is damn good!

Oh yes the giant spider of the Godzilla universe basically probably the second realistic Godzilla monster next to the giant lobster who got his ass kicked by Godzilla

Hmmm... Who would I like to see next? It's a toss up between Baragon or Varan, either one of them would be fine.

1:43 :kumongas roar sounds like a hard kiss

Good job

Kumonga is a masterpiece of puppetry for the time. It's even more impressive to me than the ants in Them!, which were groundbreaking in their own right.

That kid with the chocolate all over his mouth was an embarrassment, one of many embarrassments in GODZILLA FINAL WARS.

Love your video dude. It's really fun to learn alot from behind the scene.

There is also the giant octopus in the Godzillaverse! The giant octopus is one of the best parts in King Kong vs Godzilla and it's a real octopus that was magnified! 🐙

Like it

Kumonga was a playable character in Godzilla Trading Battle for the PS1

You should do the history of baragon next

The kamacuras was all so yues for pupatry.

Yeah that’s a reference to tarantula

In the toho version there is kumonga, while in the legendary pictures version theres is titanus Scylla

The sythe winged kumonga reminds me of kamakuras

I want to see the next video about never mind

The Godzilla vs kmonga theme was just the theme of meckagodzilla vs king ceacer.

Funny you brought up squirtle because I think Gamera was used for his inspiration

The final pun wasn’t bad it was actually good

FOOTNOTE 1 : forgot to mention in some dubs of SON OF GODZILLA , spiga is called Aspiga (don't know why) FOOTNOTE 2: there's an amazing American model company called KAIJU MODELER that specializes in making lesser kaiju models. Not too long ago ( pre pandemic) they released an incredible KUMONGA model replete with faux fur trimming for it's legs !! Bought one for my collection, it came in a deceptively small ,but heavy box , but when compete , it's huge!! No joke !! I have no shelf space for it !! If , though your looking for some different kaijus ,give them a look up !!! Meet with them before, they hope to have new releases MAGMA , ( MAGUMA ) GULALA and others soon . They also show up at modeler conventions , WONDERFEST , JERSEYFEST etc. Check them out, you'll sure to find something you'll like !!!

I’ve just thought of two other Monsters that I think would be perfect subjects to The Toku Professor series, why not do a video on either the Giant Sea Serpent from Kong Kong Escapes or perhaps the Lake Dragon from Princess from the Moon.

Their was a kumonga at the credits or near the end

You forgot that Kumonga appear in other Godzilla comics, such as Godzilla: Ongoing and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.

i bet your gonna do a video on Godzilla 1984

Kumonga will be perfect fit in the Monsterverse as Scytodidae Spider Arachnid Titan from Hollow Earth. We got Mother Long Legs from Kong: Skull Island (2017) and Scylla from Godzilla King Of The Monsters (2019).

9:20, dang it. X_X 9:56, how dare he called it a loser!! 11:29, this is Kumonga? I thought it was an all new monster. 14:39, nice.

11:42 looks like a cicada.

The giant enemy spider

Speaker spider

Kmonga has a deadly weapon playing dead 💀 then tries the big g with the leaker.

Get your act together bandai

Man I can watch that shit, I have arachnophobia like a mfker, but I love the other Kaiju tho 😅😂

Personally, i didn't like Kumonga's design;only what,6 legs?? i thought all damn spiders had 8 legs (tbh,i'm terrified of & actually HATE spiders...ugh).
