Godzilla

Can't wait to see the new American Godzilla movie, the one Garth Edwards did was pretty solid.

The size comparison type youtube vidoes has captured the kids' attention greatly lately. Hell, I never knew his versions changed so much... and that new anime on Netflix has him like 3 times the size of the biggest up to date, holy cow! Here's a similar youtube that is a nice summary of G over time:

G is catlike in grin and countenance, partially due to his original 1954 ears coming back in 1989, pict from 1992. 

Ghidorah, an earlier incarnation. 

Gigan. (Pronounced G-eye-gan or if you live at my house Geeggan).

This Smog Monster, aka Hedorah. 
I appreciated Ready Player One having Mechagodzilla. Having read the book and loved it, I was very worried he wouldn't be in the movie... very satisfying:


Somebody made a nice text list of all the movies.

And so IMDB has some craaaaazy random different posters for some of these old G movies. Take 1964's Godzilla vs. Mothra (or The Thing). And whatever could THE THING be? Check out the last few slides... heh, cheeky basts. That's not quite what Mothra looks like, is it?








Or how about the rebranding of Godzilla Raids Again as "Gigantis, The Fire Monster"!


Some G comics from more recent times. Looks pretty good:






And I love these hand drawn details from random places... and especially these Japanese posters with super details hand drawn. We might own the Rodan Vs G. one for the kids' room. ;)
