- In the series, Godzilla (the baby that survived the destruction of Madison Square Garden and hatched from the egg at the end of the 1998 film--often nicknamed Zilla Junior by fans) battles a large group of giant monsters. The show tracks Godzilla and team H.E.A.T. around the planet battling new mutations and other monstrous beasts. While most of the enemies that appear are mutated animals, other creatures appear as well, including extraterrestrials, plants, machines, and on a couple of occasions even beings with supernatural, "magical" origins.
The series not only had Godzilla battle several other kaiju, such as a Giant Bat, but also face a fleet of invaders known as "Tachyons" in a tribute to Destroy All Monsters, and an eccentric billionaire rival of Nick's. In an ironic twist from the original Godzilla TV adaptation, in the 1998 film, Godzilla has a flammable power breath similar to fire, while in the series, his son breathes a green atomic breath.
The series also expands on the personalities and relationships of the human characters, going deeper into the development of the characters from the film as well as introducing new ones for the series. It also explains the loyalty of Godzilla toward the crew, as he has 'adopted' Nick as a father figure of sorts, and goes to great lengths to defend him.

What are your favourite and least favourite Godzilla movies and why?
Favorite: Godzilla '54, Final Wars, vs. King Ghidorah, and 2000.
Least favorite: Godzilla's Revenge and 1998.
Least favorite is obviously the movie this cartoon was spun off of. Utter trash.
Favorite varies depending on my mood, but it's frequently Final Wars, and not solely because Zilla gets casually wrecked in it. Sure doesn't hurt though. When I'm feeling masochistic, Godzilla's Revenge. Objectively terrible but nostalgic as one of those midnight movies from my youth when the whole station would go off the air right after it ended. Both versions of Godzilla vs. Kong make the list pretty often too, although the CGI one still feels kind of wrong after so many decades of suit work.
As one of the artists from the Character Design Department on the series, I thank you for the fine discussion of our series. It was great fun to work on.
You and the crew did a great job! Thanks again, Thomas!
@@WyattoonsComics 🙏😊🤜🤛
Our pleasure! Thank you for bringing this awesome series to the fans. Let us know if we got something wrong.
@@TotallyAwesomeGeeks I will say, the fire dog thing was new to me, maybe that was above my department’s pay grade. I recall that for a time in the scripts, the code name for Godzilla was “Gorgon”.
Interesting. Multiple sources reported that Heat Seekers was a false name early on and Godzilla was referred to as Gorgon and Thingy. We found a quote from Audu Paden saying: “Following up the name ‘HEAT SEEKERS’, we made up a whole set of phony characters and designs. Superhero humans with capes and flame flickering around their joints and a big sheep dog made out of pure fire, like something out of the Fantastic Four, named ‘Flamer’. We actually colored them up and made presentation posters and hung them outside my office.” Source: ScifiJapan.
Hopefully one day, someone revive this show while bringing back some elements that made this show memorable for the audience back then. Maybe someday, the new audiences would be motivated to make that possible.
6:04, that's reversed. Hicks is a Col in the movie and Major in the show
