    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!

      And this is why I hope this isn't actual King Ghidorah, he was introduced too early I suppose... As the power scaling just keeps rising especially with the new installment coming out... 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 UA-cam... 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.

    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.

    Just a quick explanation for Jen. Godzilla being able to focus the energy that would have killed him into those heat bursts that finished off Ghidorah was only possible with Mothra's sacrifice. After her death, you can see her essence falling onto him and that's when he starts glowing red. When he does the bursts, you can hear Mothra's cry during each one, and even see her wings in the blast.

    Godzilla: GHIDORAH!

    Ghidorah isn’t shooting lightning it’s actually a form of condensed gravity which means those soldiers weren’t burned to death but actually were crushed to death

    Fun fact, in the very first Godzilla movie to be made the oxygen destroyer was the only weapon able to kill Godzilla, which it actually does in the movie. Later on, the oxygen destroyer basically gave birth to arguably Godzilla's biggest enemy, Destroya, a devil looking monster that nearly killed another Godzilla. So fans of the monsterverse theorize that Destroya is going to make an appearance in the future, which I'm really hoping for myself.

    In this, Gojira starts off at 355 feet tall, then grows to 393 feet tall. Ghidorah stands at an imposing 521 feet tall. King of the Monsters is the title of the "Americanized" version of Gojira. Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah are also originally from Toho. Gojira's "burning" form is an homage to his appearance in Godzilla vs Destoroyah

    In the last movie, we had the actors who played Dr Dre and Eazy E now we have the actor who played Ice Cube in Straight Outta Compton. By the way, the actor who plays Ice Cube is Ice Cube's son. That would be the soldier you said you recognized. Also, King Ghidorah is from space so he doesn't need oxygen.

    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.

    This and New Empire are my favorites. I’m such a hardcore Godzilla fan that I’ve got the Gman tattooed on my arm from my shoulder to my elbow on my left arm.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Awesome reaction, loved your energy, and cheesy jokes,..yess this is a fun movie, franchise,..that's what it was for us as kids,, the whole giant creatures, duking it out, I wasn't a comic book fan like some kids back when, but Godzilla movies were my jam,..they made him a bit more comical back then, him having boxing moves, like a prize fighter,..more human characteristics,..the battles were always so much fun to watch, and there was always some foe, or challenger for him to beat, and as it is now, kinda loved the way he, in his own circle has other monsters like Mothra to lend a helping hand, aside from the humans, in the Ghidorah battle movies, there was this intrigue going on behind the scenes, of humans trying to fend off alien invaders, who are secretly trying to infiltrate human society, always dual storyline, that crosses paths with each other,..yes the monsterverse has long time fans, and the tone of some of the Kaijus being more benevolent than others,...do keep going, so enjoyed,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
