WHAT AN EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN THE TITANS! Who’s your favorite titan?! 🤔 Checkout our Patreon for the FULL and uncut reaction! Patreon: Patreon.com/meeshanddee Discord: www.Discord.gg/meeshanddee
Love watching your reaction videos! Thank you 😸 Godzilla and Mothra have a special connection/relationship. If you look at her wings, she has a pattern of Godzilla's eyes on them. When she sacrificed herself for him, she gives her life essence to help him channel and control the radiation. Also, when burning Godzilla releases his pulse to kill Ghidorah, you can see her wings and hear her voice. Yeah, I'm a huge Godzilla nerd lol
I was thinking it was dumb / unrealistic to bring your daughter to see the giant bug. But when my dad was a missile silo commander, in the 70s, he let me into the bunker. I was the first kid on my block to kick a nuke.
43:03 Mothra is almost always depicted as a benevolent force almost godlike in that she generally receives worship from some lost or forgotten tribe. The only time she's ever been shown to intentionally harm or kill humans is when they threaten people she cares for, it's also a running theme that it's usually girls/women particularly twins that summon Mothra.
@@tron9683 What's wild though is that Legendary said the Mothra in New Empire is NOT the egg from the KOTM credits, it is a different Mothra that was guarding hollow Earth. That makes me hope the egg found in KOTM eventually gives us Battra! A fanboy can dream. Don't you dare take my dreams away. I know Legendary is trying to move away from the TOHO IP and establish their own monsters, but I am dying for them to just pay TOHO to borrow some more of the classics... Megalon would have been perfect for New Empire with the hidden culture; give us my boy Gigan! There was an Anguirus skeleton allegedly at the underwater ruins where they revive Godzilla, but give us a live one! Ok, done venting. Don't get me wrong, love the monsterverse - even the weaker entries, but I wish they would go back to what makes KOTM a highlight of the series so far.
the director said mothra "represents the eternal cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth." she can get killed but always gets reincarnated with her memories, so technically she cant rly "die" if that makes sense ( correct me if im wrong tho! )
@@keithcole8536 His comment didn't imply it was her egg, only that Monarch found another "Mothra species" egg, which has been confirmed by the director and Legendary.
Mothra technically died but Mothra’s whole thing is that she lays and egg before going out in battle and when she dies she gets reborn and remembers everything of her past lives so she totally lost her fear of death that’s why she doesn’t hesitate a second before sacrificing herself. She’s my favorite Titan along with another one that you’ll see in the last movie but they ruined it. (sorry for ranting, I love these movies)

He said that he wanted to give him some emotions like Kong(unfortunately that's kinda taken away in the future films by the new director 😢) - the oxygen destroyer was used in the first 1954 film to kill Godzilla - Dr. Ishirō Serizawa dying with Godzilla is reminiscent of Daisuke Serizawa killing Godzilla and himself with the oxygen destroyer in the first Godzilla film in 1954
@@MeeshDeeReacts You're welcome! Also sorry about people complaining about you disrespecting Godzilla. Modern Godzilla fans are competitive about the big guy.

"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too big and too powerful. They are not evil by choice. THAT'S their tragedy." Ishiro Honda, director of Gojira (AKA Godzilla 1954, the original Japanese masterpiece). I have been a 30-year veteran fan of this incredible and long franchise. No matter the monster OR mankind, Godzilla always finds a way to claw his way to the top. It's also nice to see KOTM gaining more recognition as time goes on. Long live the true King of the Monsters, Godzilla.
23:45 Im sorry but something about a gigantic chonky lizard rolling over and falling and then Dee saying "where’s it going? 🧐" and Meesh replying "he fell 🥺😂" while laughing is SENDING ME 😭
Funny facts - Kyle Chandler (Mark Russell) was in the 2005 King Kong remake so Kyle has now had to deal with Kong twice 😂 - Michael Dougherty (the director) cameos as the jet pilot who got eaten by Rodan Also Godzilla got a size buff in this movie. In 2014, he was 355 feet tall and weighed 90,000 tons, in this movie he grew to 393 feet tall and weighed 99,634 tons King Ghidorah is 521 feet tall and weighed 141,056 tons

Good reaction! Was waiting for you to see my favorite Monsterverse movie and seeing Mothra, Rodan, & King Ghidorah getting the Hollywood treatment. This movie really gave us more emotion with Godzilla & giving us a small part of his backstory with humans used to worship him as their protector. In the art book for this movie, they explain that Godzilla wants to reconnect with humanity like the old days but hesitant to trust them cause while some humans do help him, others tried to kill him which is why he was surprised seeing the doctor risk his life to save him & felt empathy to everyone particularly to Mark in the submarine. These details gave the impression that while Kong is isolated & lonely for being the last member of his species, Godzilla is missing the past & his temple was the only thing from his past that he had left. Mothra is probably the only one from Godzilla’s past that he truly cared for which makes her death more tragic. We still don’t know why he has to restore balance but he’ll do what he needs to be done to defend the planet.
Hi there!! Thank you SO much for the Super Thanks 🥰🙏🏼 you are too sweet and this movie was absolutely EPIC! Can’t wait to dive into the other movies with y’all now too 🤩
Ok last fun fact... another enhancement director Michael Dougherty brought to the table was how he portrayed King Ghidorah. In the classic Toho films, the three heads weren't really distinct, but with KOTM he gave each of them a personality; a leader (middle head) the muscle (right head) and the "special one" (left head) that isn't too bright and probably would make friends with everyone if it wasn't for his two older brothers. Also... the pterodactyl? That's the infamous RODAN!
This is my favorite of the monster verse besides The New Empire. To see the iconic OG Togo monsters with their modern theme puts tear to my eye. My grandpa introduced me into Godzilla and we saw the first two months verse movies together. Sadly, he passed away before he can see this masterpiece.
Us fans of the original Japanese Godzilla movies from Toho Studios all these years, was eating so goodddd when this first came out. Seeing Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah, all classic monsters brought to life in modern realistic epic CGI graphics and animation and they brought back Godzilla's theme song in this one too was truly a love letter to the fans. And yeah, Godzilla and King Ghidorah are pretty much arch enemies. And burning/Fire/Thermonuclear Godzilla was a thing in one of the Japanese where G fought another powerful monster. So, glad they brought that form back for this movie :D
YES! You guys reached KOTM! To this day, this film makes me so angry Legendary won't continue to pay TOHO to use the music from this film. All the classic Toho kaiju themes are timeless; Akira Ifukube will never be topped... that said, what Bear McCreary did for those themes in KOTM elevates this film to another level. Since KOTM, the other monsterverse films (while still fun and great) feel like something is missing, and it is the classic themes director Michael Dougherty really plays with. Of ALL the monsterverse directors, Michael Dougherty understood the assignment and executed it better than any other Western director has yet. KOTM is the best monsterverse movie to date. Grand slam. Key note - western. Minus One was Toho reminding and putting everyone on notice they know their baby Gojira better than anyone.
34:55 fun fact: the oxygen destroyer may or may not have created another Monster known as Destroyah, Godzillas strongest foe ever faced, ABSOLUTELY more worse than Ghidorah.
@@MeeshDeeReacts also another fun fact Destroyah is considered a final boss or endgame so if he’s gonna appear in the Monsterverse it’s probably gonna be until the final movie comes which is most definitely gonna take a LONG time
The 1985 trilogy is what got me started in the Godzilla movies. Good shout outs to its predecessors, i loved Destoryah as a villain and Biollante is still my nostalgic favorite of the monsters. Honestly hope we get to see both in time.
A bit controversial but overall good. Between 2014 and 2015, Godzilla has a fight with another MUTO called MUTO prime. Basically the alpha MUTO. This is all in the graphic novel Godzilla: Aftershock.
Godzilla: GHIDORAH! Ghidorah: Wussup? Godzilla: I never yielded! and as you can see I am not dead! Ghidorah: All that challenge shit over with i'm the alpha now!
Loved this!! Been waiting for ages, it was a great watch guys keep it rolling ❤ also meesh has a thing for titans?! First Kongs cakes and now Big G's thighs don't lie?!😂
I have loved the Godzilla movies since I was a kid. I think you missed a couple post credit things? I think they show a Mothra egg in one, and show a cave painting of Godzilla fighting Kong.
Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah are all classic Godzilla monsters that were created by the Japanese studio, Toho. Kong was always an American character and came a little before Godzilla. The Oxygen Destoyer was what was used to kill the first Godzilla in the very first Godzilla movie from 1954. It is later stated to mutate an ancient crustation creatures that become the final enemy he fight in the Heisei Era, called Destoroyah. In the scene where Serazawa sacrifices himself, you are meant to be able see a skeleton of a monster in the ruined city. This is meant to be the skeleton of Anguirus, who was the first monster Godzilla ever fought, appearing in the second Godzilla movie, later becoming an allie in later films. Mothra has always been a gentle monster, acting like a protector. Both her and Godzilla are shipped together by a large majority of the Godzilla fantom. I admit, I'm one of them. This version of Ghidorah has different personalities for each head. Ichie, the middle head; Ni, the one to the right of Ichue; San/Kevin, the left head/one that Godzilla rips off. The fire form Godzilla gets is called his Thermonuclear state and is the Monsterverce version if his Burning state that appears in the final film of the Heisei Era when he fights Destoroyah. I recommend watching WikiZilla's UA-cam videos or check out the website to find a bunch of the older monster movies. Hope you continue your reactions of the Monsterverce. Good luck on the move❤
Good to see you two finally watch this flick! It's easily my favourite movie out of the entire MV so far! Director Michael Dougherty confirmed that Godzilla actually felt honoured by Dr. Serizawa's death. There was a fan who wrote Godzilla fanfiction that was written about that whole scene from Goji's POV and Dougherty went so far as to give that fan a public shout out and say that it was very accurate to what he was trying to portray in that scene. Goes to show that he's a great dude! Shame that he didn't come back to film the next sequels. Now while GvK and GxK are fun movies, they are controversial due to the change in tone and style as well as character directions for both Godzilla and Kong. But still go into them with open minds!! (I'm sure you two will be rooting for Kong though lol) I'm sorry if my previous comments came off rather hostile or rude!! I just wanted to vent my frustrations due to watching a lot of Monsterverse reactions from other channels and witnessing so many of them disregard Godzilla of any sort of sympathy due folks being more in favour of Kong. But least you two managed to be emotionally invested in the King of the Monsters, to the point when you're both calling him "Big Daddy G" 🤣
Most kaju related deaths are incidental a result of the creature being so big that they don't even notice who they are stepping on not so with king Gidorah it know your down there and it actively wants you to die
Clearly. His history (in the Japanese movies: The Godzilla and Mothra movie series') not only does he not care about humans, he also seems to enjoy inspiring fear in humans before he gets around to killing them. In one of those 'Rebirth of Mothra' movies he actually trapped children to absorb the energy from their terror---)
Rodan debuted in this first film in 1956, Rodan the flying monster or simply Rodan. However he first debuted and fought Godzilla and along side him in 1964's Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster which also had Mothra. Mothra first debuted in her first feature Film Mothra, from 1961, but fought Godzilla in 1964's Mothra vs. Godzilla King Ghidorah debuted first in the film Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster as the big bad
Ok, I reached the end. I think what that commenter missed about Kong is that he is a great ape! Literally his super-power to combat Godzilla (even though Goji is pretty smart) is his sapien brain. It allows Kong (along with five digits on each hand with opposable thumbs) to improvise and make use of tools. Godzilla is brute strength vs Kong's ingenuity and tool use. That's why it has always been a compelling matchup since the original Toho Godzilla vs Kong. Yes, Kong is the underdog, and that is why this matchup is great. It is a Rocky match. Don't get me wrong, in the monsterverse Godzilla owns the surface, but you'll see in GvK that there are other realms that need kings.
Many have the misconception that Ghidorah breathes lighting or electricity. It is actually its own thing called gravity beams. Any lightning and storm that surrounds him is the Earth's atmosphere's reaction to him being on Earth, although that is a new thing made for the MonsterVerse.
It's so ironic because in the end the mother got what she wanted as we see on the news after the whole incident, the planet started to rebuild itself and become better
I love that "Bow down or die" look Godzilla gives Rodan as the other Titans gather around him after delivering the kill shot on the last Ghidorah head with his Atomic Breath. Also, if you don't recognize Dr. Ilene Chen or her sister Ling Chen....their actress, Ziyi Zhang played Hu Li in Rush Hour 2. Also, I LOVE that they recycled the Toho Studios Godzilla theme music and roars for this movie. And the male soldier that said "I think it's got somethin' to do with his goddamn head growin' back." is O'Shea Jackson Jr., the son of rapper/actor Ice Cube.
That scene where Godzillas original roar and the entire monarch and world fleet coming to fight was most beautiful scene ever if ishiro honda and akira were alive theyd just smile knowing Godzilla would this famous and the reason kong wasn't there he was stopping the crawlers from escaping through the caves
These movies are always so epic. And always nice to see Fenway Park in a movie, go Red Sox! Movie: *giant epic monsters* M&D: “awwwww so cute!” 😂 And editing 10/10 as always!
Yesss!! Seeing Fenway park make a cameo was pretty epic 😆 LOL our reactions to any epic monster fights is always “aww how cute” 🤣🤣 Thanks for always watching with us fam! 🫶🏼
Blue eyes white dragon probably was inspired by Ghidorah. This movie (characters, monsters) pay big homage to the original movies. Mothra, Rodan (Radon in Japanese), Dr. Serizawa, Oxygen destroyer, Monster Zero, (Fairy)Twins, Monster Island.
I grew up with Godzilla. First time I saw a Godzilla movie was in 1975 when the original Godzilla King of the Monsters (1956) was on TV. I have seen every Japanese Godzilla movie numerous times, both dubbed into English and in the original language.. I see this movie as a love letter to the old movies. More than any other Monsterverse movie this one reminds me of the fun mindless movies of my youth. I don't care that the human story was stupid. If I want to see a Godzilla movie with a good human story I'll watch the original Gojira (1954) or Shin Godzilla, or Godzilla Minus One. This movie you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride. One of my favorite Godzilla movies.
The bomb used on Godzilla and Ghidorah was the Oxygen Destroyer - a call back to the very first '54 Godzilla film. It is the ultimate weapon used at the end to turn "that" Gojirasaurus into bones. KOTM is truly the best of the monsterverse. So many callbacks to the classic films. The poetry of the film is that in the original '54 film, Dr. Serizawa is the one that invents the Oxygen Destroyer and kills Godzilla. In this timeline, Dr. Serizawa is the one to bring him back to life by sacrificing himself.
Awesome reaction ladies. I've always been a Godzilla fan ever since I was little especially when they show a marathon of Godzilla movies on Saturday night on now AMC channel. Too bad they didn't keep his red atomic breath like he had in Godzilla vs Destroyer. But this is definitely my favorite out of the monsterverse especially with the old school music from the old movies including Go Go Godzilla by the blue oyster cult. Godzilla vs Kong then Godzilla X Kong definitely worth watching
Your brother forgets to mention that despite Kong's size and power deficit he is by far the smartest Titan, so a fight between the two isn't nearly as onesided as it appears on paper.
no spoiler for the monsterverse but I'd like to rank Godzilla's strongest opponent in every franchise. 1. Destroyah (Win against Burning Godzilla) 2. Space Godzilla (Make Godzilla struggle a lot more than with Ghidorah ever, also can fly) 3. Gigan (Literally Godzilla with weapons and can fly) 4. Biolante (Logically this one can kill Godzilla easily if it's enough smart) 5. MechaGodzilla (Literally Godzilla but robotic and better)
The second Godzilla film became the best back then, it was awesome during opening/fan even and everybody went nuts and cheer, even the song by the end of the movie PS: the post-credit shows that we u to Godzilla vs Kong movie
Ironically, Daisuke Serizawa from 1954 Gojira gave his life to destroy Godzilla with an oxygen destroyer to save the world. Ishiro Serizawa here gave his life to heal Godzilla with a nuke to save the world.
Watched your Godzilla (2014) and Skull Island reactions, and the wait for KoTM was terrible so I ended up binging your A:TLA and Castlevania reactions, the only bad thing about your channel, is the lack of content :( Also having watched your A:TLA reactions, I'm absolutely living for the glow up that the background/room has undergone since you started. Also +10 for a Yu-Gi-Oh reference, especially a blue eyes white dragon, also it was Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon that had 3 heads
if you think that godzilla is already at his full power here, wait until you see him in the latest movie from the monsterverse, gxk, which came out this year. this is kinda like only 50 percent of his power here. not to insult kong, but when he fought kong he wasnt even at his 20 percent lol. anyway, godzilla's nuclear pulse was the only way to really kill ghidorah here. because he keeps regenerating.
Awesome reaction but the difference between Godzilla and Kong is Godzilla is king of the monsters also protector of earth and keeps the balance of nature in its order plus Godzilla is a experience fighter in all different places of lands and sea and will kill while Kong is king of skull Island and Kong fighting style does match Godzilla, but there is a slight difference He does fight to kill sometimes, but it's mostly fight to survive and kong is also the protector of humanity
Godzilla and Mothra symbolize two opposite sides of the natural force. Godzilla is destructive side of nature while Mothra is the nurturing side of nature.
I love Kong more too idk how or why ppl like Godzilla more ig they just wanna be glazers and bc he’s more powerful and has a god name while Kong is more reliable
It's not about glazing genius... It's more to the fact that people like yourself can't fathom the idea that Godzilla is an emotional character that people attached themselves to and the fact that you think it's about "he's more powerful and has a god name" glazing goes to show how disingenuous you're being
not survive. control. he was able to control the radiation. if it wasnt for mothra's energy, he would have just exploded there, he was never in danger because he absorbs radiation. if anything, mothra actually just gave him a power up that allowed him to turn into that burning form. if its anything, the radiation he absords actually was not enough thats why he needed mothra's life energy to be able to use his nuclear pulse.
@rcguitarcovers8614 Control,yes but regardless of that,what i said is correct. What Mothra did was make Godzilla be able to control the powers and prevent him from melting down like in the hesiei era and dying.
This was awesome but godzilla never had used his burning form against ghidorah he only used it against the creature known as destroyeh and that creature orign was done in this movie
im gonna say it again ...people keep asking why kong didn't show up when ghidora make the call and awake all the monters...because at that time kong was fighting the giant skullcrawler at skull island..because ghidora was the one who awake the giant skull crawler...
No the giant Skull Crawler was dead already. The novelization of KOTM mentions that Ghidorah's call woke up several Skull Crawlers, but there is no mention of another big Skull Crawler. They were probably just juveniles.

Im sorry but something about a gigantic chonky lizard rolling over and falling and then Dee saying "where’s it going? 🧐" and Meesh replying "he fell 🥺😂" while laughing is SENDING ME 😭
LOLLLL That part really cracked me up 😆
Godzilla is the most powerful warrior of all time he's millions of years old he's undefeated and he's king. Period.
The alpha of alphas, the apex of apex predator
Ele não está invicto.
He was beat by The Rival.
Funny facts
- Kyle Chandler (Mark Russell) was in the 2005 King Kong remake so Kyle has now had to deal with Kong twice 😂
- Michael Dougherty (the director) cameos as the jet pilot who got eaten by Rodan
Also Godzilla got a size buff in this movie. In 2014, he was 355 feet tall and weighed 90,000 tons, in this movie he grew to 393 feet tall and weighed 99,634 tons
King Ghidorah is 521 feet tall and weighed 141,056 tons
So this is interesting, Ling is actually a twin, you see her identical twin sister in the movie when mothra is coming out of her cocoon, they never appear on screen together so a lot of people assume it's just the same character
Throughout the movie they are shown to be trusting of mothra and have deep knowledge about the titans, they are also 3rd generation monarch and in their family pictures we see that each generation of their family has been identical twin women, this is because they aren't entirely human, they have a psychic link with mothra and are meant to act as her ambassadors
In the old movies they were often depicted as tiny identical twin fairies called the "Shobijin" who could talk to mothra but this was changed for the newer movies to make the mystical aspects a little more palatable for modern audiences but we do see on multiple occasions that the twins not only react to mothra before she arrives (implying they can sense her) but during the battle in Boston at the end we see Ling pray to mothra and summon her to help godzilla
This all means that magic exists in the monsterverse and that mothra is a literal goddess (which is why she also has the power of reincarnation BTW, in the old movies mothra would sacrafice herself in battle all the time but would always lay an egg beforehand so that she could be reborn when the world needed her protection)
Reference to the older movies with her feries.
As others have said, Kong ignored Ghidorah's alpha call (basically left him on "Read"). But he was also pretty pissed, because the call riled up a bunch of Skullcrawlers that he had to deal with. It's all in the novel for the film, and I think it's the one thing so far confirmed to be canon to the films.
And yes, Godzilla and Kong fight in the next film, a couple of times.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (series) is must watch also.
Thanks for the rec!
The first trailer for this movie is a genuine work of art. Absolutely stunning. Worth checking out on its own.
Good reaction! Was waiting for you to see my favorite Monsterverse movie and seeing Mothra, Rodan, & King Ghidorah getting the Hollywood treatment. This movie really gave us more emotion with Godzilla & giving us a small part of his backstory with humans used to worship him as their protector. In the art book for this movie, they explain that Godzilla wants to reconnect with humanity like the old days but hesitant to trust them cause while some humans do help him, others tried to kill him which is why he was surprised seeing the doctor risk his life to save him & felt empathy to everyone particularly to Mark in the submarine. These details gave the impression that while Kong is isolated & lonely for being the last member of his species, Godzilla is missing the past & his temple was the only thing from his past that he had left. Mothra is probably the only one from Godzilla’s past that he truly cared for which makes her death more tragic. We still don’t know why he has to restore balance but he’ll do what he needs to be done to defend the planet.
Hi there!! Thank you SO much for the Super Thanks 🥰🙏🏼 you are too sweet and this movie was absolutely EPIC! Can’t wait to dive into the other movies with y’all now too 🤩
Ok last fun fact... another enhancement director Michael Dougherty brought to the table was how he portrayed King Ghidorah. In the classic Toho films, the three heads weren't really distinct, but with KOTM he gave each of them a personality; a leader (middle head) the muscle (right head) and the "special one" (left head) that isn't too bright and probably would make friends with everyone if it wasn't for his two older brothers. Also... the pterodactyl? That's the infamous RODAN!
This is my favorite of the monster verse besides The New Empire. To see the iconic OG Togo monsters with their modern theme puts tear to my eye. My grandpa introduced me into Godzilla and we saw the first two months verse movies together. Sadly, he passed away before he can see this masterpiece.
Us fans of the original Japanese Godzilla movies from Toho Studios all these years, was eating so goodddd when this first came out. Seeing Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah, all classic monsters brought to life in modern realistic epic CGI graphics and animation and they brought back Godzilla's theme song in this one too was truly a love letter to the fans.
And yeah, Godzilla and King Ghidorah are pretty much arch enemies.
And burning/Fire/Thermonuclear Godzilla was a thing in one of the Japanese where G fought another powerful monster. So, glad they brought that form back for this movie :D
didn't they not hate the rights to the music for the first one and that's why they didn't use it?
That head from the credits scene is call Kevin as the left head of ghidorah and middle head is Ichi and the right head is Ni
YES! You guys reached KOTM! To this day, this film makes me so angry Legendary won't continue to pay TOHO to use the music from this film.
All the classic Toho kaiju themes are timeless; Akira Ifukube will never be topped... that said, what Bear McCreary did for those themes in KOTM elevates this film to another level. Since KOTM, the other monsterverse films (while still fun and great) feel like something is missing, and it is the classic themes director Michael Dougherty really plays with. Of ALL the monsterverse directors, Michael Dougherty understood the assignment and executed it better than any other Western director has yet. KOTM is the best monsterverse movie to date. Grand slam. Key note - western. Minus One was Toho reminding and putting everyone on notice they know their baby Gojira better than anyone.
34:55 fun fact: the oxygen destroyer may or may not have created another Monster known as Destroyah, Godzillas strongest foe ever faced, ABSOLUTELY more worse than Ghidorah.
🤯🤯
@@MeeshDeeReacts also another fun fact Destroyah is considered a final boss or endgame so if he’s gonna appear in the Monsterverse it’s probably gonna be until the final movie comes which is most definitely gonna take a LONG time
@@joekool0078yep. He’s basically Godzilla Universe’s Darkseid or Thanos. When he shows up, stuff gets real.
Since we're talking about Destoroyah here, I remember seeing that in Rulers of Earth, he was female. Anyone else see that or did I get bad info?
The 1985 trilogy is what got me started in the Godzilla movies. Good shout outs to its predecessors, i loved Destoryah as a villain and Biollante is still my nostalgic favorite of the monsters. Honestly hope we get to see both in time.
You guys deserve so many more subs! But 50k is right around the corner then on to 100k!
Awww tysm! We appreciate you 🥰🫶🏼
A bit controversial but overall good. Between 2014 and 2015, Godzilla has a fight with another MUTO called MUTO prime. Basically the alpha MUTO. This is all in the graphic novel Godzilla: Aftershock.
Your brother literally said everything, he's just like me haha.
W brother !🔥
Thanks bro, I appreciate you ❤️
@@nicky4963Let's go man! Hype to see their GvK reaction! And of course...LONG LIVE THE KINGGGG 🦖👑
2 more great movies to go! answering all questions!
Godzilla: GHIDORAH!
Ghidorah: Wussup?
Godzilla: I never yielded! and as you can see I am not dead!
Ghidorah: All that challenge shit over with i'm the alpha now!
Loved this!! Been waiting for ages, it was a great watch guys keep it rolling ❤ also meesh has a thing for titans?! First Kongs cakes and now Big G's thighs don't lie?!😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I have loved the Godzilla movies since I was a kid.
I think you missed a couple post credit things? I think they show a Mothra egg in one, and show a cave painting of Godzilla fighting Kong.
Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah are all classic Godzilla monsters that were created by the Japanese studio, Toho.
Kong was always an American character and came a little before Godzilla.
The Oxygen Destoyer was what was used to kill the first Godzilla in the very first Godzilla movie from 1954. It is later stated to mutate an ancient crustation creatures that become the final enemy he fight in the Heisei Era, called Destoroyah.
In the scene where Serazawa sacrifices himself, you are meant to be able see a skeleton of a monster in the ruined city. This is meant to be the skeleton of Anguirus, who was the first monster Godzilla ever fought, appearing in the second Godzilla movie, later becoming an allie in later films.
Mothra has always been a gentle monster, acting like a protector. Both her and Godzilla are shipped together by a large majority of the Godzilla fantom. I admit, I'm one of them.
This version of Ghidorah has different personalities for each head. Ichie, the middle head; Ni, the one to the right of Ichue; San/Kevin, the left head/one that Godzilla rips off.
The fire form Godzilla gets is called his Thermonuclear state and is the Monsterverce version if his Burning state that appears in the final film of the Heisei Era when he fights Destoroyah.
I recommend watching WikiZilla's UA-cam videos or check out the website to find a bunch of the older monster movies.
Hope you continue your reactions of the Monsterverce. Good luck on the move❤
Good to see you two finally watch this flick! It's easily my favourite movie out of the entire MV so far!
Director Michael Dougherty confirmed that Godzilla actually felt honoured by Dr. Serizawa's death. There was a fan who wrote Godzilla fanfiction that was written about that whole scene from Goji's POV and Dougherty went so far as to give that fan a public shout out and say that it was very accurate to what he was trying to portray in that scene. Goes to show that he's a great dude! Shame that he didn't come back to film the next sequels. Now while GvK and GxK are fun movies, they are controversial due to the change in tone and style as well as character directions for both Godzilla and Kong. But still go into them with open minds!! (I'm sure you two will be rooting for Kong though lol)
I'm sorry if my previous comments came off rather hostile or rude!! I just wanted to vent my frustrations due to watching a lot of Monsterverse reactions from other channels and witnessing so many of them disregard Godzilla of any sort of sympathy due folks being more in favour of Kong. But least you two managed to be emotionally invested in the King of the Monsters, to the point when you're both calling him "Big Daddy G" 🤣
Can you give the name of the person that made the fanfic?
I just watched this the other day after watching your review of Skull Island, You're gonna love the last two movies in the series.
Most kaju related deaths are incidental a result of the creature being so big that they don't even notice who they are stepping on not so with king Gidorah it know your down there and it actively wants you to die
Clearly. His history (in the Japanese movies: The Godzilla and Mothra movie series') not only does he not care about humans, he also seems to enjoy inspiring fear in humans before he gets around to killing them. In one of those 'Rebirth of Mothra' movies he actually trapped children to absorb the energy from their terror---)
Rodan debuted in this first film in 1956, Rodan the flying monster or simply Rodan. However he first debuted and fought Godzilla and along side him in 1964's Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster which also had Mothra.
Mothra first debuted in her first feature Film Mothra, from 1961, but fought Godzilla in 1964's Mothra vs. Godzilla
King Ghidorah debuted first in the film Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster as the big bad
1:05:40 Iconic ending.
Was smiling the whole time 😁
This is my second favorite movie in the Monsterverse, once again loved y’all reaction ❤
Ok, I reached the end. I think what that commenter missed about Kong is that he is a great ape! Literally his super-power to combat Godzilla (even though Goji is pretty smart) is his sapien brain. It allows Kong (along with five digits on each hand with opposable thumbs) to improvise and make use of tools. Godzilla is brute strength vs Kong's ingenuity and tool use. That's why it has always been a compelling matchup since the original Toho Godzilla vs Kong. Yes, Kong is the underdog, and that is why this matchup is great. It is a Rocky match. Don't get me wrong, in the monsterverse Godzilla owns the surface, but you'll see in GvK that there are other realms that need kings.
Many have the misconception that Ghidorah breathes lighting or electricity. It is actually its own thing called gravity beams. Any lightning and storm that surrounds him is the Earth's atmosphere's reaction to him being on Earth, although that is a new thing made for the MonsterVerse.
Beautiful reaction and review video. Thanks for that! Loved your reactions!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Godzillas eyes remind me of a whales eyes. You can see intelligence in them.
Rodan is such a cool design
It's so ironic because in the end the mother got what she wanted as we see on the news after the whole incident, the planet started to rebuild itself and become better
I love that "Bow down or die" look Godzilla gives Rodan as the other Titans gather around him after delivering the kill shot on the last Ghidorah head with his Atomic Breath. Also, if you don't recognize Dr. Ilene Chen or her sister Ling Chen....their actress, Ziyi Zhang played Hu Li in Rush Hour 2. Also, I LOVE that they recycled the Toho Studios Godzilla theme music and roars for this movie. And the male soldier that said "I think it's got somethin' to do with his goddamn head growin' back." is O'Shea Jackson Jr., the son of rapper/actor Ice Cube.
Rodan is an ally to Godzilla
@@GrandmaKeith In most incarnations, yes. But here, he wasn't.
Hail to the king 👑
That scene where Godzillas original roar and the entire monarch and world fleet coming to fight was most beautiful scene ever if ishiro honda and akira were alive theyd just smile knowing Godzilla would this famous and the reason kong wasn't there he was stopping the crawlers from escaping through the caves
16:14 u know blue eyes white dragon.. Woww
These movies are always so epic. And always nice to see Fenway Park in a movie, go Red Sox!
Movie: *giant epic monsters*
M&D: “awwwww so cute!”
😂
And editing 10/10 as always!
Yesss!! Seeing Fenway park make a cameo was pretty epic 😆
LOL our reactions to any epic monster fights is always “aww how cute” 🤣🤣
Thanks for always watching with us fam! 🫶🏼
This is so gooddd huhu finally u react to it. Kong actually hear monster zero calling but he just ignore it and stay in the skull island hahahaha
Blue eyes white dragon probably was inspired by Ghidorah.
This movie (characters, monsters) pay big homage to the original movies. Mothra, Rodan (Radon in Japanese), Dr. Serizawa, Oxygen destroyer, Monster Zero, (Fairy)Twins, Monster Island.
I grew up with Godzilla. First time I saw a Godzilla movie was in 1975 when the original Godzilla King of the Monsters (1956) was on TV. I have seen every Japanese Godzilla movie numerous times, both dubbed into English and in the original language.. I see this movie as a love letter to the old movies. More than any other Monsterverse movie this one reminds me of the fun mindless movies of my youth. I don't care that the human story was stupid. If I want to see a Godzilla movie with a good human story I'll watch the original Gojira (1954) or Shin Godzilla, or Godzilla Minus One. This movie you can turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride. One of my favorite Godzilla movies.
The bomb used on Godzilla and Ghidorah was the Oxygen Destroyer - a call back to the very first '54 Godzilla film. It is the ultimate weapon used at the end to turn "that" Gojirasaurus into bones. KOTM is truly the best of the monsterverse. So many callbacks to the classic films. The poetry of the film is that in the original '54 film, Dr. Serizawa is the one that invents the Oxygen Destroyer and kills Godzilla. In this timeline, Dr. Serizawa is the one to bring him back to life by sacrificing himself.
Awesome reaction ladies. I've always been a Godzilla fan ever since I was little especially when they show a marathon of Godzilla movies on Saturday night on now AMC channel. Too bad they didn't keep his red atomic breath like he had in Godzilla vs Destroyer. But this is definitely my favorite out of the monsterverse especially with the old school music from the old movies including Go Go Godzilla by the blue oyster cult. Godzilla vs Kong then Godzilla X Kong definitely worth watching
What's a king to a GOD
Your wholesome love for big daddy Godzilla is adorable
🥹🥹🫶🏼
Your brother forgets to mention that despite Kong's size and power deficit he is by far the smartest Titan, so a fight between the two isn't nearly as onesided as it appears on paper.
He’s not the smallest titan 😭 there’s so much titans we haven’t seen and we have seen Kong even fought them
First of all, Kong isn't the smallest titan, in fact he's a bit smaller than Godzilla.
Second of all, Godzilla is also extremely smart.
Godzilla is just as smart, it is pretty one sided because Kong has always needed some kind of tool or weapon to fight Titans from Godzilla's race
I just wished they made him use his intelligence more when fighting Godzilla. Also Na Kika is debatable to be the smartest titan.
@ cuz kong is big ape lol while Godzilla is damn near a Demi god ngl is part lizard dragon some shit with radiation powers
Lmao blue eyed white dragon 😂 that's funny
no spoiler for the monsterverse but I'd like to rank Godzilla's strongest opponent in every franchise.
1. Destroyah (Win against Burning Godzilla)
2. Space Godzilla (Make Godzilla struggle a lot more than with Ghidorah ever, also can fly)
3. Gigan (Literally Godzilla with weapons and can fly)
4. Biolante (Logically this one can kill Godzilla easily if it's enough smart)
5. MechaGodzilla (Literally Godzilla but robotic and better)
The second Godzilla film became the best back then, it was awesome during opening/fan even and everybody went nuts and cheer, even the song by the end of the movie
PS: the post-credit shows that we u to Godzilla vs Kong movie
1:03:31 Ditto. Godzilla is “thermonuclear,” which is several hundred, or even several thousand, times stronger than his regular nuclear strength. ☢️
Ironically, Daisuke Serizawa from 1954 Gojira gave his life to destroy Godzilla with an oxygen destroyer to save the world.
Ishiro Serizawa here gave his life to heal Godzilla with a nuke to save the world.
Watched your Godzilla (2014) and Skull Island reactions, and the wait for KoTM was terrible so I ended up binging your A:TLA and Castlevania reactions, the only bad thing about your channel, is the lack of content :(
Also having watched your A:TLA reactions, I'm absolutely living for the glow up that the background/room has undergone since you started. Also +10 for a Yu-Gi-Oh reference, especially a blue eyes white dragon, also it was Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon that had 3 heads
Ghidorah’s beams aren’t electric, they’re gravity beams. That’s why things he hits are slammed to the ground, and the ground is depressed
then why does it look like lightning, act like lightning, and also get powered up by the generator when gidorah chomps down on it?
@ Ghidorah’s gravity beams are often portrayed like lightning, but they’re not.
Good review. If the mom had survived she would never see the light of day
Godzilla gonna beat kong in next movies your gonna see
No one mothra every single time when the world's gonna end i will fight you just after born & i shall reborn again 🏃
Good movie reaction keep up the good work Godzilla king of the monsters forever 👍👍
Mothra !!!!
Honestly, this was a fun film in the big screen
if you think that godzilla is already at his full power here, wait until you see him in the latest movie from the monsterverse, gxk, which came out this year. this is kinda like only 50 percent of his power here. not to insult kong, but when he fought kong he wasnt even at his 20 percent lol. anyway, godzilla's nuclear pulse was the only way to really kill ghidorah here. because he keeps regenerating.
OMG FINALLY I JUST SAW THIS 😭
Try to check out Goji Center, and Mothra is basically a phoenix, so she will rise again.
THE!
Long Live The King -Scar
Long Live The King -Emma
Now it's time to react - Godzilla vs Kong
All of the credits from all the words and news papers have easter eggs
Wait you know of the blue eyes white dragon lets go
If you didn't notice at first, when red godzilla explodes the explosion initially looks like mothra!
Dr. Chen and her twin sister are 3rd generation of Mothra Fairies they have a connection to Mothra
Awesome reaction but the difference between Godzilla and Kong is Godzilla is king of the monsters also protector of earth and keeps the balance of nature in its order plus Godzilla is a experience fighter in all different places of lands and sea and will kill while Kong is king of skull Island and Kong fighting style does match Godzilla, but there is a slight difference He does fight to kill sometimes, but it's mostly fight to survive and kong is also the protector of humanity
Great reaction. Try to start at the beginning of the original Godzilla back in 1954, then all the other movies they’re all amazing.
Godzilla and Mothra symbolize two opposite sides of the natural force. Godzilla is destructive side of nature while Mothra is the nurturing side of nature.
35:09 Poor fish. What did they ever do to deserve this?😢
This moo-vie rules! 🤗☺️
Dr Chen & Dr Ling actually twins in this movie...
Queen protects its King and will die for him...Mothra is the only one Godzilla doesn't dare to stand up😂...Godzilla rizz doesn't work on her 😂
King Ghidorah ⚡⚡
Godzilla was called "King of the Monsters" in the US localization of the first movie... no Kong here, sadly.
❤ ALMOST 50 K LESTS GO ❤
Lfg!!! So close 🎉 thanks for watching with us! ❤
Now y'all ready for Monsterverse Godzilla vs. Kong to see who is the TRUE KING of the Earth's surface...
Ghidorah has gravity beams, I'm unsure why it looks like lightning though. Its always looked like that and I've never knew why they went with that.
Something pertaining to Electromagnetism or something?
@FalconWingedGirl ended up looking up why and they said they wanted something powerful and destructive looking, hence lightning bolts.
@@jdspartan117 Sounds like them.
I love Kong more too idk how or why ppl like Godzilla more ig they just wanna be glazers and bc he’s more powerful and has a god name while Kong is more reliable
It's not about glazing genius... It's more to the fact that people like yourself can't fathom the idea that Godzilla is an emotional character that people attached themselves to and the fact that you think it's about "he's more powerful and has a god name" glazing goes to show how disingenuous you're being
Godzilla's movies are more interesting.
@@senortrekkie now that’s a good answer
Fun Fact : Godzilla was only able to survive those atomic explosions emitting from him because Mothra gave him a "temporary buff" to survive it.
not survive. control. he was able to control the radiation. if it wasnt for mothra's energy, he would have just exploded there, he was never in danger because he absorbs radiation. if anything, mothra actually just gave him a power up that allowed him to turn into that burning form. if its anything, the radiation he absords actually was not enough thats why he needed mothra's life energy to be able to use his nuclear pulse.
@rcguitarcovers8614 Control,yes but regardless of that,what i said is correct.
What Mothra did was make Godzilla be able to control the powers and prevent him from melting down like in the hesiei era and dying.
Godzilla vs Kong next!
This was awesome but godzilla never had used his burning form against ghidorah he only used it against the creature known as destroyeh and that creature orign was done in this movie
Ghidorah is the last of his kind and a alien
55:31 What kind of idiot thinks that only now does Godzilla run? I remembered, Fanboys of the Monkey Who Has Plot Armor Next to Him.
im gonna say it again ...people keep asking why kong didn't show up when ghidora make the call and awake all the monters...because at that time kong was fighting the giant skullcrawler at skull island..because ghidora was the one who awake the giant skull crawler...
No the giant Skull Crawler was dead already. The novelization of KOTM mentions that Ghidorah's call woke up several Skull Crawlers, but there is no mention of another big Skull Crawler. They were probably just juveniles.
For some reason Godzilla fans get so insecure and defensive when someone tells them they prefer Kong 😅
They really blew up my boy's home that's messed up.
I still think Mothra needs the two little singers from the Japanese movies who always summon her.
The Mothra fairies was there in the movie Dr. Chen and her twin sister really are the Mothra Fairies
@LoyalHiveling i did not know that,
I can't believe yall skipped the song credit, so much more stuff that yall missed
