    I believe Goro Maki was Godzilla's tail. In the movie the question was asked what Goro Maki did at the very end and then you see Godzilla's tail crack open, after that Godzilla's tail begins to form a face. And of course the ending with the humanoids sprouting from the tail. So my theory is Goro Maki fed himself to Godzilla giving him all his rage.

    MINUS ONE SPOILERS I believe Minus One is actually Canon with Shin. The ending with the markings on Noriko's back are the key. Over the next 70 years, those with the markings will one by one, jump into the ocean, never to be seen, the government will chalk it up to suicides. But it's not, they are joining together to form Shin Godzilla's body. This is what we see at the end of Shin. The bodies of those that have been lost seperating again as Godzilla's body breaks down. Goro Maki was the final sacrifice, as his body compelled him to jump. Perhaps he had the markings too.

    Shin has no rage, hes actually tottaly mindless until the third land based form, but Goros suicide introduced Human dna into godzillas genetic library. Its possible that without that addition godzilla may never have been able to leave the ocean, wich would have been apocalyptic as it would have grown unseen across the ocean floor until it simply swallowed the land as a massive wave of flesh. Goro may have seen his drawing of the thing out as the lesser evil, forcing it ibto the light at a stage it could be stopped.

    I just love the body horror this version of Godzilla encapsulates. The deleted scene where Goji’s 3rd form spews an unholy amount of blood all over the city streets is just so horrible in every sense of the word. It implies it has to spew blood because its body is literally creating way more blood than it actually needs to survive. It’s like its internal organs are evolving far faster than the rest of its body.

    Shin Godzilla has yet to convince me how brilliant it thinks it is, which is common for the works of Anno.... except for Petite Princess Yucie, a work not tied to Anno's depression. How curious.... My problem with Shin: Cthulu shows up, doesn't do anything. I mean Godzilla shows up, this is in no way "the Call of Cthulu", it can't be, that one has set up and exposition. Well, if Shin isn't that Lovecraft monster, which one.... ah, the Colour Out of Space! That Nick Cage version is such a great body horror movie because we understand what it is doing, it's a radiation metaphor. So what is Shin... and why does the story keep cycling back to that question? That's not Cosmic horror, that's just bad writing! "Putting it in relation to people is unnecessary for people to be scared of it."

Minus One is an EXTREMELY close number 2, and honestly I can’t blame anyone for putting Minus One above Shin. Both are absolutely spectacular, and Toho really outdid themselves in the last ten years.

    Both are great since both deal with national trauma and the nature of Japanese society. The themes are virtually the same, and they use the cultural touchstone which Gojira has become to tell it. Gojira is truly an amazing product of the Japanese psyche, it's almost become a modern day shinto kami (god/spirit) embodying the deep wounds of the 20th century Japan and beyond.

    I also had the impression of the film that the reactor metabolism creates tons of heat that has to be disappated. Theres a cut scene where godzilla just vomits boiling blood everywhere that melts streets and cars. I think the way it looks like godzilla is vomiting fire, it looks like just a relief. Like when youre sick and you puke, you feel better. I think these attacks were a mix of defense but like..discovering internal ways to regulate temperature.

    Yeah, Shin Godzilla is the only version of godzilla which atomic breath was more of a side effect than a direct attack. After bombs broke his blood circulatory system in its back, there was no way of godzilla venting out the heat rather than directly from the mouth. This utterly devastating display was probably just Godzilla spontaneously cooling itself down.

    The lyrics of the song that plays when his jaw splits in 2 explains alot in my eyes, the choice to use purple light is interesting aswell as it is sometimes used to represent sadness and pain which I think is intentional, also the sound of its concentrated beam could be described as a shrieking cry but I'm reaching there, I believe that shin had complete intelligence & consciousness at that point in the movie, but it didn't know what it was or why it was all it knew was unimaginable pain & that it was being attacked by an considerable force, Shin was a fuckin tragedy & I'm glad he died in the end, his horrible circumstance stopped by those who caused it in the first place.

    There is some validity to your theory about what happened with Maki, or his involvement with creating Gojira that was supported by some supplemental information for the film. According to this, Maki discovered the prehistoric organism that consumed the radioactive waste, took it back to the lab and studied how it was rapidly evolving, and ultimately released it back into Tokyo bay. It isn't his wife, but he did create it and sacrificed himself to it. The popular theory is Maki was absorbed by the monster, hence why the tail has a face in it and why it's able to produce the fifth form offspring.

    Minus One's godzilla is nothing special in that regard. It's just the most basic, over-used concept and message of the character. Minus One introduces little, if any, new takes, interpretations, or angles on the character. The only unique things about Minus One is how it looks when Godzilla fires his atomic breath and the extremely heavy handed pro-Japanese empire themes. Oh yeah and Godzilla suddenly having Wolverine's healing factor so they can do a lazy fake-out ending.

    Think Goro Maki could’ve also killed himself just because of years of theorizing, studying, and predicting how Godzilla would evolve, having to think about it, the endless possibilities, how it could evolve until it becomes a planetary threat, all while not being allowed to talk about it and a bunch of people prob wouldn’t even believe him even with evidence just so they won’t have to think about a monster that can potentially evolve to surpass humanity Imagine having to live with the knowledge that a monster can potentially evolve endlessly and do anything. What that would mean for you and everything else on earth and potentially the universe. All while not even being allowed to talk about it. Think there were even plans to have Godzilla evolve or characters realize it can evolve until it spread to other planets after taking over earth. Then eventually the universe and just envelop it and create a new universe or become one or something like that

    I think the idea of Goro's wife's spirit being Godzilla is a really good allegory for radiation poisoning. ARS (radiation poisoning) is an extremely painful way to die, it often takes a long time, and it basically liquifies the body due to the rapid death and decomposition of cells damaged by radiation. But because the only way to get ARS is to be irradiated yourself, often victims can be radioactive to the point of harming those who are trying to save them. after Chernobyl, many of the nurses in the Pripyat hospital died of ARS (and cancers associated with radiation) after treating firefighters, liquidators, and plant workers who had been effected. Godzilla too is constantly undergoing painful cellular change, and with all that new mutation and growth there is probably also cellular death. Godzilla too is irradiating the innocent people of Japan, just by its very existence. In it fighting to survive despite the pain of its existence, there is a metaphor to the human organ's ability to survive radiation poisoning to the point that the body has no veins strong enough to administer morphine (another common occurrence in extreme ARS), but the heart is still beating. After the meltdown and explosion at Fukushima in 2011, it's a miracle that no one died of ARS, much like it's a miracle that they stopped Godzilla. With this in mind, I think the film does a good job at connecting the nuclear disasters of past Japan to those of the present, which is why it is one of my favorite movies.

    I have been having conversations with my friend about how I wished more media viewed dragons as eldritch horrors and truly conveyed the lovecraftian horror they could represent. Massive creatures, sometimes so intelligent they can understand and communicate telepathically with a human, something that could understand the cries for mercy and appeals to empathy a human might make but mean no difference to it. Somehow able to carry its body on wings that shouldn't be able to support it, like how it's argued Shin Godzilla's legs shrouding be able to carry it onto land. And the common portrayal of dragons breathing fire, summoning it from within their own body, an impossibility of nature. Eldritch horror centers around the inconsequential role we have against the incomprehensible. And I think dragons, like Shin Godzilla, fit that so wonderfully.

    Quick comment/correction on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster. The loss of power resulted in a meltdown of core material due to lack of ability to cool the core, but there were no radioactive explosions that blew radioactivity into the air. There was indeed a containment building explosion caused by hydrogen build-up. There was also an airborne plume that was radioactive, but it followed wind patterns and was not a result of the hydrogen explosion. Not super important in the context of the movie discussion but felt compelled to clarify. Great movie and great video! I think original 1954, Shin, and Minus One are the best 3. I enjoyed Minus One the most.

    Goro maki is Shin Godzilla!

It would also explain the humanoid creatures at the end of his tail (from Goro's dna) and why it stomped all over Tokyo (Goros hatred). For my final thought, if you had the opportunity to become Godzilla would you? I think the 10 year old in all of us would say "YES!"

    Awesome video, was a pleasure to listen to I don't completely agree with the second part of your Goro Maki theory, your first part seems more believable with Godzilla being more of a creature finding itself in unfortunate circumstances. I personally came up with the idea that Godzilla was Goro Maki himself, having thrown himself into the bay where his biology fused with that of the aquatic Godzilla. It'd explain why Shin eventually developed the humanoid forms (using Maki's DNA). With the phrase "I did what I wanted, now you do the same" combined with how Shin Godzilla proceeds to invade Tokyo would mean that Goro's "spirit" or "memories" would drive the Creature to seek Destruction on the surface. It's a much more cynical take on Goro Maki's character, but since we don't Really know how he felt about his wife's suffering, it's hard to say how he felt about it all.

    If they did a british godzilla film (or a modern gorgo film coz gorgo is british kaiju) and like shin godzilla parodied the government critiquing incompetence of them, I know exactly how it should go. Have the Priminister tell all the British people to evacuate, stay indoors or in bunkers. Some bunkers won't have space for everyone so some families are forced to live separately from each other. The people in said bunkers have to follow strict rules. Meanwhile the british government decide to throw down a party because they think they are above the rules but they're reminded they're not as Gorgo or Godzilla smashes through their building. Throwing a party during a crisis is an obvious criticism of something the British leading party actually did in real life during a crisis that caused much hatred rightfully so towards said leader party. If you want further context, look up "covid christmas politician party" that's something that also deserves criticism

    I just watched this movie for the first time a few days ago after seeing Godzilla Minus One in theatres. I was blown away by how much I loved it. It feels like a Godzilla movie made with my exact tastes in mind. Haunting and cerebral. A really good "holy shit" movie. The hyper competent main characters trapped in a suffocating beaurocratic system, a bit like Ghost in the Shell. The massive titles and typography used for everyone's name and every location. The cinematography was beyond gorgeous. The military operation against Goji halfway through the film was so cool. The atomic breath scene was fucking incredible, I've never been so stressed out watching a monster movie. But honestly, I just really loved the plot of this movie. The human characters were really engaging in their performances so it was a lot of fun watching them plan out their operations. Godzilla himself was such a terrifying presence whenever he was on screen. The stakes felt real in a way I wasn't expecting. All in all one of my favorite movies now.

    I think your theory of Godzilla being possessed by the spirit of Goro Maki's wife could go even further. What if the creature Godzilla itself was inadvertently responsible for the death of Goro Maki's wife, and that's why her spirit possessed it. If that's the case, then who's to say that the form of Godzilla couldn't then become host to the souls of all of it's victims throughout it's rampage. If this is true, then perhaps the humanoid forms growing off of Godzilla's tail were to each be possessed by the spirits of the victims. This could either be for 2 reasons to me. The more scientific evolutionary reason would be that the biology of Godzilla would not allow for multiple spirits to possess it, so it would proved exterior vessels for the spirits to possess to return to the single spirit of Goro Maki's wife, which it's final form would later represent. The more spiritual or mythical reason would be that this was a conscious attempt by Goro Maki's wife to bring back all the people she inadvertently killed due to an intense feeling of guilt, which makes the freezing of Godzilla even more tragic, since she was stopped from even attempting to atone for her actions.

    What if the humanoid Gojiras were only possible through Goromaki's DNA. His boat was near where Gojira first appeared in the film. What if Goro's body was absorbed into Gojira and he was able to process it after days and utilize it for his next stage of evolution?

    I get the impression that because godzilla keeps evolving to deal with the changing threats it faced, that the final mutation we see is an interruption...but not of freezing itself but of forced evolution...i.e. using godzillas strength against itself. At least that was my take. I also really liked how the solutions that were needed in real life to deal with fukashimas leaking and the multiple teams who knew theyre going to die. I know folks didnt like the anticlimactic battle, but it stayed in very close line with its source material. Even just having a dead gozilla in the distance...fukashkma plant is still there.

    One thing I will say is that the drone breaking as it is coming closer to Godzilla and they are trying to get video footage makes me think it is from the radiation exposure. It reminded me of the various remote controlled vehicles they attempted to send into Chernobyl that ultimately couldn't withstand the radiation. So I don't think that was some sort of biological ability to destroy the cameras so much as the increased radiation. Which really makes me think of the after effects of the crane operators. If the radiation is that bad, that cameras can't function when they get close, what exposure did those poor drivers get

    You’ve officially set me on the path to look more into the Godzilla franchise. I’ve a vague sense of western Godzilla interpretations that treat the monster as a mascot and character of it’s own, but the description of Shin Godzilla in comparison has got to be my *favorite* for the “eldritch” horror aspect. I love the final shot w/ the frayed tail, so cool dude. Thanks so much for the video and your passion for Godzilla!

    I have also found out about the lyric video of the song (Who Will Know) playing while he was using atomic breath for the first time, and it showed me the absolute different perspective of screams and reaction of Godzilla. It is said, that the female voice represents Godzillas mind, while the male voice instinct to survive or Goro Maki seeking revenge. It showed a broken creature; whose mind wants to die, while body fights to survive, as one of the people in comments mentioned. Gojira also represents the unfathomable pain of people suffering because of exposure to radiation. A manifestation of their agony. Each time I rewatched the movie it added a new layer of tragedy and suffering. Absolutely heartbreaking. A masterpiece.

Gives me goosebumps and makes me rock back and forth in excitement every time I watch it lmao. Part of me wishes we get to explore more of this version of the big G, I would love to see chunks of his flesh becoming separate living organisms, and the evolved humanoid mutant creatures in a film. However it is also just so cool being its own piece of unique media, I adore how much is left ambiguous and up to interpretation.
