- Ever since her debut in 1961, the insect monster goddess Mothra had become a permanent fixture of the Godzilla franchise, and remains one of the most popular kaiju of all time. Why is this? What is it about her exactly that makes her so special? Let's find out!

Let me know if you'd like to see more videos like this about other kaiju!
‘Why Anguirus remains Godzillas best friend’
'Why Ghidorah is Such an Effective Antagonist' would be cool!
Do it for ghidorah
Do one for Anguirus about how humanity never gives up and keeps fighting till the end, I think that would suit his character perfectly
Very nice video! Truly I venture to say that your kaiju video essays are among the best to be found. I love your channel, and now use it to introduce potential would-be fans to series. Please keep up the fine work! And yes, more videos of this sort would be welcome. How about one good Ghidorah next? If Mothra and Godzilla are the Ying and Yang of light and dark, creation and destruction, then Ghidorah is the third element of chaos which both sides fight against. Now that I think about it, Ghidorah is kind of like entropy don’t you think? The incredible destructive end that must come to all things, and other monsters like mankind itself are constantly fighting to stay its hand. 🤔
The fact this guy was able to talk about the symbolism of a giant moth for 8 mins is probably the best part of the video
And the fact that we listened to him talk about the symbolism of a giant moth for 8 minutes is making it funnier
He not the only one make videos on mortha. Making a video on mortha is nothing new.
Did you just disrespect the angel of life
A moth? Get your things right it’s a titan mee a moth plus a bee. A mee
...
she is the personification of hope, trust and faith.
she is the only 100% good creature.
in a world full of gray characters, mothra stands alone as the pure light, ready to sacrifice herself for the greater good.
a true heroine.
the queen.
Heroine is the feminine form of Hero. Heroin, is the narcotic. ;) Though I suppose, in her own way, she is a drug and can be quite addictive. :)
@@bretvandillon787 ups.
english is my 3rd language. i apologize.
@@K0K0BB No worries. Was just having a little fun with what was obviously a simple typo. And, for the record, 3 languages is impressive. Especially if that minor typo is coming from your 3rd best language. Pretty awesome. :)
@@bretvandillon787 thank you!
we all can always learn something. 😁
and youre right, mothra can be addicting!
Got goosebumps just reading that
She didn't die for Godzilla just because, she died because she trusted him to keep the safety and peace on Earth.
She is the best, no doubts.
Her temporary replacement
she will come back right?.......
@@somechupacabrawithinternet8866 the "Mothra's pregnancy theory" still exists in universe. We need to pray it means she will probably come back.
@@mirkohobleshe always come back so there is no need to think too much
Mothra the goddess ❤️
I cried in KotM when Mothra parted the clouds and her golden light came down on the Monarch sea base. It's the darkest, bleakest, most hopeless point in the movie, both metaphorically and literally with how the film's cinematography removes color from the shot. But then Mothra spreads her wings and hope returns to our characters.
I also obviously cried when she died.
My family forbade me to see the film more than once. I got sick and went to the hospital with low blood pressure. Since the 90s I have been a fan, and Mothra is responsible for me believing in God as pure nature
We all cried when she died
Hell, I was tearing up (and still do every time I see the shot) in the trailer when she spread her wings under the waterfall. She's always been best described as "glorious" and _KofM_ 2019 perfectly captured that.
An angelic.. An absolute inspiring queen..
Same here. It just, get to my heart.
Culturally, Japan regards insects as less "icky" than the west. Children often keep beetles or other bugs as 'pets' and bug-themed merchandise is very popular with the Japanese.
To be fair, they have all the cool insects. Hell, just earlier today a Bark Scorpion fell from my bathroom ceiling!
Blissvisions An influence for Megalon was the rhinoceros beetle, which was made because it was a popular pet for kids at the time he was being made
The more you know :)
Satoshi Tajiri's fascination with insects is what lead us to Pokemon
@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 Scorpions aren't insects.
@@cooltrainervaultboy-39 Ahh! DX
I wish they made Mothra Plushies. I'd take their entire stock!
Go to Japan!
They can be difficult to find, but official Mothra, Battra, and Mothra Leo plushies do exist.
Knowing Japan, I don’t want to see that.

When I first saw Mothra, all I thought was "a giant moth? Yeah, that's REALLY original."
Now I respect her as the goddess that she is.
I want to punch your past self in the face so much
@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario honestly so do I
The only reason I didn't love her as I do now was her design..then KotM came and oh boy did I find my queen
@@loganburnette5485 same, but I still hate the disign, the wings and the mentis legs were the only thing good about mother's design.
@@lawpwetheslayer5069 Have me curious, what would a good design for her be in your eyes?
I would love for Legendary to do a standalone Mothra movie.
That would be sucks
If they threw in Battra as her adversary and we were witnessing the two grow as larva, I'd be down for that.
I think rodan needs one more than mothra does cause hes haven't had a movie in a long time
@@clarkside4493
Honestly, as much as I would love to see Battra, I think it would be too predictable. I would rather they make the film almost like an awards contender, and embody the message and theme of the original 1961 film: that the corporate selfishness of humanity is what brings destruction to nature, and nature will consequently unleash its wrath in return, and the solution to the self-destructive fate of mankind is peace and harmony.
It can be very applicable now especially as the world experiences the aftermath of the pandemic (assuming this movie were to come out in a few years), the world seemingly healing itself with many in quarantine. Make the movie as beautiful as the Queen herself, cinematically as well as thematically, at least for her standalone film. They can bring in Battra later.
same
If Legendary is able to keep their rights, I think they should totally make a solo Mothra movie. Now say it with me. Hail to the Queen, hail to the Queen!
HAIL TO THE QUEEN,HAIL TO THE MADA PACKING QUEEN
I agree, but I also want to learn more of her connection to Godzilla. I ship the king and queen.
Joseph Lankford
*_no, if you ship them, then someone is going to ship rodan with shin_*
@@MichelleW870 don't be like that.
So you starting a mothra cult?
When I was a kid I really didn't understand the nuance of the character and was pretty salty that Godzilla would get beat up by a moth, but now it's impossible not to cheer for her when she arrives in any of the movies. She perfectly represents the harmony of balance opposed to Godzilla's chaotic or destructive version of balance and she serves as a great foil to him. Any time they team up is a treat.
Godzilla is nerf in most of those battles.
One of my favorite parts of KOTM was when Mothra revealed her final form to the humans and looking at her beauty in awe Dr. Chen says
" *Mothra.. Queen Of The Monsters* "
Something about the way she delivers that line always gets me and made me realize how munch I do love Mothra
Such a interesting movie. Why does it get so much hate?
I believe part of it is that the majority of Western movie audiences aren't used to the Eastern storytelling and cultural conventions, the esthetics, and the kaiju mythology, that KOTM is so infused with. That lack of familiarity translates to difficulty relating to and responding to them.
the idea of Godzilla and Mothra symbolising a *general* masculine/feminine duality to the protection of nature just fascinates me
(before anyone yells at me keep in mind the "general" part)
Hahaha... now this is sad
@@mirkohoble Why?
@@mirkohoble tf you find this sad for.
My girlfriend loves Mothra! She especially loves the fact that she’s a “goddess”, one of the few females Kaiju, and that she’s always a force for good.
Mothra seems to be my only queen now. Daenerys is dead. Plus Mothra is technically immortal
plus i dont think mothra is gonna go batshit crazy out of nowhere
@@hiru6278 well that will require a bad writing wouldn't it?

Mothra VS Godzilla is definitely one of my all time favorites. I like how her fragility adds this extra dimension of tragedy and dread to the whole thing, making her more heroic and Godzilla more of a bastard. The environmental message behind Godzilla is totally effective- nature getting revenge on us- but twisting it and having mankind be responsible for the death of something so beautiful and selfless is truly brutal in the way an antagonist can't often be. Kaiju perfection.
In KOTM Mothra is changed to being far from fragile. She gets down and dirty brawling with Rodan, and despite being battered and burned is still able to launch herself at KIng Ghidorah.
All the Japanese kaiju are character archetypes of that culture. Especially Mothra and Godzilla. The destructive (often self destructive) warrior/samurai and the innocent maiden.
They are very human, that is why they connect with us.
She is cute, fluffy and has the cutest "Roar" in the whole Franchise!!!
SHE made me a Fan of Japanese Monster Movies!
Same here!
Mothra is my girlfriends favorite kaiju, she wants to get a tattoo of her! 👌
Marry her.
Michael Myers That’s the goal🤞
@@smansam hope your relationship continues to go well
That girl is a keeper 😁
I'm a straight man and I want a Mothra tattoo
Mothra when she knows she’s gonna die but also knows she will be reborn: a small price to pay for salvation.
Out of all the female Kaijus besides Biollante being one of my favorites, Mothra is the most Beautiful and Badass female kaiju ever! I hope to see more Godzilla and Mothra Team Up movies in the future either Toho or Monsterverse.
Can you tell me if there are more female kaijus, aren't mothra and biolante the only 2 that are considered female? Mothra also can be male as she has a son, which was quite interesting. In the comics it is shown that Mothra and Biolante have a symbiotic relationship.
@@Ephideltrance As i can remember there's only 4 female kaijus (Mothra, Biollante, Megaguirus and Femuto)
She's not the only female Kaiju anymore we have Biollante too
And Megaguirus.
@@clipsclipsandmoreclips3384 we have standards here plus there are like three female mutos
He meant she's the only major recurring female monster that has been in movies throughout the franchise like Godzilla, Rodan, Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla
Gigan (am a joke to 27) as I am forgotten ..
The Monsterverse introduced a lot of new female kaiju like Scylla and the MUTOS
Mothra will ALWAYS be my favorite Kaiju. No offense against the king himself, but without her, I don't know how long the Kaiju genre would've really lasted.
There other monsters besides her that made toho monster movie work. She overrated.
@@INFERNO95 how is that suppose to make her overrated? She does most the the work to save lives.
@@lawpwetheslayer5069 She's overrated in terms of power, she's only defeated Godzilla once on her own
@@whaleofbread5389 power? Most of the reason Godzilla wins is because of mothra, she not weak she's beaten Ghidorah before.
@@lawpwetheslayer5069 Most of the time she's Godzilla's enemy, she's only been her friend twice
But Mothra herself being overrated as a character isnt true at all, she's the most popular kaiju among women and she's had the most appearances in Godzilla movies
Not to mention she's adorable
My dad never watched a movie with Mothra in it until we went to see Godzilla King of the Monsters, and he was still able to know who Mothra was. Same goes with Rodan. When it comes to King Ghidorah, he was able to recognize him right away because he saw a few glimpses of him when I was watching Godzilla vs King Ghidorah when I was younger, but other than that, he never saw anything else with King Ghidorah in it. In my eyes, that goes to show how memorable those four Kaijus are.
Very beautifully put. I think her representation of symbiosis is also enhanced by the very fact that she's a moth. Moths, butterflies, bees, and many other pollinating organisms are among the most exemplified examples of symbiosis in the nature world, between very different plant and animals no less. Indeed, it seems most game-changing milestones in evolutionary history result when the stuff of life begins cooperating with itself.
That's actually a good point. Insects are deeply integral to the balance of nature, we're seeing that now with the massive insect die off that's been happening.
Mothra's self sacrifices always make me cry. And I'm proud to say it.
Outstanding video! Would love to see in-depth analyses like this for Rodan, King Ghidorah, Anguirus, etc. It would be really fun to psychoanalyze Hedorah or Megalon or Gigan 😁
Hedorah could represent the serious threat pollution poses to Earth's ecosystem, Gigan could represent the dangers of technology, and Megalon could represent the wrath of nature after it has been misused.
Those are just my thoughts.
All good ideas, especially Ghidorah. He represents such an interesting idea withing the mythos of these movies, almost always being a malevolent force of pure, chaotic destruction, with no thought spared for any other living thing. It's actually one of the things I loved in KOTM, since they took his destructive nature and really characterized it with pure, unfiltered malevolence. So powerful that it allowed Ghidorah to be the movie's proper antagonist, which was a good thing, since the human ones weren't doing the movie any favors.
Mothra the sole female monsters
Biollante: am I a joke to you
Jiger, Super Gyaos, Lizzie: Don't forget us.
T. rex King thank you King
@@t.rexking441 Iris is a he. Mother Legion is a she
He means she's the sole female member of the main recurring monsters that appear throughout the franchise. Biollante was only in one film
Twenty-Seven I think the fact that my comment is a popular joke format should clue you in that I’m making a joke
The one and only queen of the monsters = MOTHRA ❤
Mothra represents to me what God really is. Pure nature, benevolent yet strong enough to bring devastation.
Pretty fitting because her creator was Catholic, her symbol is based off of a cross, and she was drawn in by church bells in her original film.
Mothra is my most favorite kaiju .I love how she differs from other monsters and how gentle she is regarding humanity only attacking when she or her people are provoked.
Not only is this is really amazing video, but I'm in near tears in just 8 minutes about a giant moth. Seriously have loved this character since first watching an old late night monster movie and this is the perfect method to sum her up. Along with notable cheers to how well made this video is, also love some of the comments here and how much alot of other Mothra/Godzilla fans see this too. You struck a perfect cord for alot of fans to connect well. That's pretty special if you ask me. Keep up the remarkable works, Depths. ^-^
Godzilla: starts killing a ton of humans
Mothra: Aww Shit, here we go again.
"godzilla and mothra represent balance"
Battra: Am i a joke to you
Ive always kinda thought of Battra and Mothra as opposite sides of the same coin, both wanting to protect the Earth at all costs. The difference between the two being Battra couldnt care less for us humans and Mothra wanting to protect all life if possible.
John McCarthy same
@@John_McCarthy1 Battra represents the extreme version of environmentalist/environmentalism. Battra believes if humanity is wiped out, Earth itself will heal in time and balance will be restored. The irony to this belief is that by wiping out a dominant species to extinction, it creates unbalance, a disorder, chaos to the current ecosystem. Despite humanity's flaws, there are many species now that exist that simply wouldn't exist if it weren't for human intervention. Many of our crops and farm animals that we harvest can no longer rely on self means to stay alive. Species that we strive so hard to keep them from going into extinction might actually go extinct faster without us trying to ensure that endangered species get the best possible chance to survive and reproduce.
@@WatcherMovie008 yeah that's true, good way of putting it
@brandotendie while I agree Bagan wouldve been a cooler addition to tje movie, Battra at least has a better looking larva form than Mothra
This was a beautiful & heartwarming breakdown video of Mothra, her character, her importance to the franchise & her importance to storytelling as a whole. I love it. Great job!!!
This is why so many people love Mothra...
Mothra is definitely one of the most important kaiju in this genre, I think if it weren’t for her Godzilla wouldn’t be as popular as he is today, and the relationship between the 2 of them is a highlight for both franchises
This really shows how IMPORTANT monsters and monster movies really are.
Godzilla = Your violent and strict dad.
Mothra = Your loving and caring mom.
pretty accurate
So Mothra is basically kaiju Jesus?
No, She technically almost like Saint Mary
Shes not kaiju jesus
More like a kaiju dashavatar or bodhisattva.
@@au7923 she is😭
@@jhonrafaelbernardo3025 Shes more like a goddess to me
Wow, this has to be the best video analysis of Mothra by far. Absolutely fantastic!!!
Apparently Mothra came to be in a dream of a special effects artist... and in her first appearance, has that perfect incantation. Is it just a coincidence she's considered divine?
Mothra has always been beautiful.
Thank you. This video makes me appreciate the 2019 King of Monsters more.
Ironic, that the one that shows the best qualities of mankind would be a giant insect.
Hail to the queen.
I have always loved Mothra!!! Ever since I was a child!
This puts the weirdness of turning Godzilla into a superhero during the showa era into a way new perspective.
Also, I would like to see a video like this about King Ghidorah. What is it about a three headed golden space dragon that makes the perfect kaiju villain?
This was a great retrospective on Mothra. I hope you do more on our favorite Kaiju.
ive always considered mothra to be a goddess of pure good, and her bug form is a testament to how you should never judge a book by it cover
Mothra is my favorite and I tried not to cry for 8 minutes straight this video is sooo well done
I love Mothra, and I think Mothra vs Godzilla may be one of this genre’s greatest films. It has better pacing than Mothra 1961, while also being less bleak than Godzilla 1954, and has better special effects, score, and, arguably, pathos than both.
God, I now have a different view of mothra and what she symbolizes in her character from the Godzilla films to her own trilogy of mothra films.
Damn that close up on that bee’s face caught me off guard 😂
Its a horsefly, not a bee.
Masse0706 oops my bad, thanks for that
@@gojithriller6622 No problem.
8:19 Did you have to drop the hardest quote of the century? Like damn, that's raw
Mother Mothra's death in Mothra Trilogy will remain be one of the saddest scene in cinema history
Mothra is my favorite monster because of these reasons you literally said. Every time I have a conversation about Mothra, I try so hard to put it into words why she is so important, and you've done that in so many ways for me. Im not gonna lie, you made me cry happy tears today because of how beautifully you described my favorite monster Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💛
Mothra has been an interesting Kaiju for me, as I’ve never been a big fan of Mothra from the beginning, since as a kid I always found it bizzare and funny how Godzilla got his ass kicked by mothras larve children and how the shobijin (the Mothra twin fairies) always kinda freaked me out lol (but other course I’ve come to understand and appreciate how crucial they are to mothras mythos) and she had her own mediocre trilogy from the 90s. Over the yrs, I’ve come to appreciate the queen of monsters, and that’s largely thanks to the monsterverse Mothra, which in my opinion is the best and most bad ass Mothra we’ve had. I absolutely love the character design (especially compared to the Toho versions, which to me have always looked too cute or fluffy and cartoonish) and how they nailed her connection to Godzilla. It’s unfortunate that’s she was wasted in kotm and felt like an afterthought more than an actual character in the film. With that said, I absolutely respect Mothra, as she’s become the most popular Kaiju that isn’t Godzilla and I hope to see more of her in upcoming movies. Long live the Queen
A new addition I appreciated about the Legendary Mothra is her unique God Rays ability. Her wings have often been the source of her projectile powers, but I view the blinding lights as a more appropriate power for Mothra than the beam attacks she used in the Heisei series and her own trilogy. You can understand how ancient civilizations came to see her as a goddess just by witnessing her sky-filling glow; a peaceful being with a power as capable of inspiring awe as it is in combat against her foes.
@@zoeadkins9095 Thing is she didn't even use the god rays in the movie for cobat which was a missed opportunity because it can be used to blind and even if shined in fast intervals, confuse foes.
People have to remember the monsterverse franchise tries to be more grounded than the old kaiju verse. Mothra of old was basically the only divine kaiju whose powers were basically magical/mystical in nature....this is shown more clearly with her son Mothra Leo...which had a plethora of powers.
I love both the old and new Mothra, but for me the older one due to time has a richer history. Her divine aspects is what really made her unique amongst all the kaiju. I am glad the monsterverse kept her sort of reincarnation theme, although it remains to be seen if this is truly a power it has or just coincidence that their was another mothra egg.
@@Ephideltrance I agree, all around. I'm disappointed that Mothra never used her God Rays in combat and I actually hadn't thought of her essentially strobing the light at enemies; that's a clever execution of it to differentiate between the 'awe' moments and the usage of it as a weapon. I appreciate that Legendary's creative teams gave Mothra a new ability, nonetheless.
And I apologize if I came off as though I were bashing prior incarnations of Mothra. I hadn't forgotten that the Monsterverse is striving for a more realistic interpretation of an inherently fantastical concept. I understand why the prior Mothra's had the capabilities they did, particularly in the case of Mothra Leo and the whole Mothra trilogy. I, personally, simply find the God Rays a more interesting, and fitting, take on her powers and character. Even if the actual execution was underwhelming.
@@zoeadkins9095 hopefully with any luck her reincarnation will show us some of her other fantastical abilities. This Mothra is borderline mystical considering she somehow transferred her energy to Godzilla so he would not go nuclear and allow him to power up and channel the excess radiation. So it is clear Mothra has other hidden powers up her wings.
@@Ephideltrance Likewise. The way her energy was able to remain as a mist or dust, combined with the deliberate cracking of Godzilla's hide, makes it seem like more than just residual radiation.
Adding to her subdued mysticism, I know the Chen sisters were likely only meant to be a homage but their moments around Mothra could imply more. The fact that one sister was standing before her cocoon, as if knowing her emergence had come, and the shot in Boston of Chen's face illuminated by Mothra's light seem to allude to some sort of connection. That, and their long running family history of researching Infant Island could help explain this possibility.
Again, maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see; thought it was an intriguing possibility.
Either way, if Mothra makes an appearance in GvK or any future films, I have the same hope.
Loved the video, can you do a video on the relationship of Godzilla and Ghidorah, and why King Ghidorah is the Joker to his Batman?
This video moved me to tears, describing her to a tee. Mothra has always been a favorite alongside Godzilla and it always makes me happy to see her appear.
Great vid.
Maybe one day we will see "What makes Ghidorah Godzilla's arch-enemy".
Lowkey had me tearing up
Been a Mothra fan ever since they first aired Mothra,rebirth,rebirth 2,rebirth 3 on tv and till this day I will always be a Mothra fan
2:16 Actually, that’s the new title. The original title was “Godzilla Va. Mothra.” Even my VHS tapes from the 80s and 90s show the title as “Godzilla Vs. Mothra.” “Mothra Vs. Godzilla” is the new title.
I've had some friends laugh about Mothra being one of my favorites, but this whole video right here perfectly explains why she's one of my favorites. Thank you.
I'm getting teary eyed over a giant moth, which should feel silly, but she's just so pure and good.
She is Queen of the Monsters because she is the purest, benevolent, lovely, empathic and gentle monster that always do what is best for the world. Never kills humans and always protect life in all ways.
Mothra is truly the Wonder Woman of the Kaiju, fantastical and gloriously wonderous and eternal. A Goddess of harmony and truth. Thank-you for such a respectful and well expressed video!
Loved this video. Now whenever someone asks why I love Mothra so much I'm just going to send them this video.
Godzilla and Mothra should team up more!
No they don't.
@@INFERNO95 i mean mothra has teamed up with godzilla alot but its most likey rodan is gonna apear in the next movie and mothra is most like not to apear and rodan does have chances not to apear
Wow! You put into words what I never could. I've always loved Mothra and could never figure out exactly how to describe it. It's because she's the light side of the coin. The one that gives us hope when things are bad and comforts us.
I don't even ever watch kaiju series but mothra is now my fav character anyway 😊
Mothra deserves that title. Even if she kept dying, she will be reborn again and again
Wow...i never thought of her like that. Seriously, thank you for making this video. She's a lot more important than i realized back then
I love the duality of the king and queen
Not gonna lie, I teared up. Amazing work elaborating on the symbolism and mythology, as always. Look forward to the next one!
I've always loved mothra. She rock's.
I love her when she use he BLINDED GODRAYS☀☀👑SUCH A QUEEN💖
Great video! Mothra always has a place in my heart
In the anime continuity she was one of the few kaiju that sided with humanity of her own free will. She was also one of the few that could break through Godzilla Earth's EMP field, and damaged him to the point where he had to retreat to recover.
Even after being killed three times by GE she found a way to protect humans, by sharing her DNA with them, and indirectly helped GE drive away Ghidorah.
And her egg rests there still, waiting for the day when it will hatch and finally rid the world of Godzilla. Until then, she continues to protect the Houtua.
She’s a cutie ♥️🦔🥰 and I love her.
Wow...haven't seen a kaiju film in ages...yet your remarkable comments in this video really touched a chord in me...made me quite emotional....
In Mothra vs. Godzilla, she was already dying when she left Infant Island to confront Big G. Nevertheless, she put up a tremendous fight. Had she been at full health and strength, the battle might have ended differently.
I love this video it perfectly describes Mothra’s character o wish some people would show her more respect but another then that you should do more kaijus like this but next kaiju should be rodan and king ghidorah
Show her more respect? Are you kidding me? She get more respect then any other monsters including Godzilla. If anything Rodan is the monster who who should get more respect seeing how he been mistreated over the years by toho while getting trash by her annoying fans just because Rodan burn her wings. Don't come in here whit this she not getting respect nonsense when she had it for years. If anything she overrated.
INFERNO95 Mothra always been down graded Bc everyone thinks that she’s always dies and movies and she’s a weak kaiju but that’s not the case I lot people I know all a lot of shit about Mothra
That's a great question
Mothra is also the kaiju my opinion changed the most over the years. Seeing her when I was a child to mid teens I always found her boring, thought she didn't look "cool" enough to be part of Godzilla's world.
But that did an 180 over the years. I appreciate the colour, beauty and themes she represents. Without her this franchise would look completely different today, probably worse.
I hope your video helps people who look at her how I did before to change that view before they realize it later.
Awesome video man! My favorite Mothra is Tokyo s.o.s, her theme and her appearance in that film were breathtaking.
All hail our queen of the monsters, long may She reign.
considering godzilla's and mothra's actions it's likely while Godzilla is king of monsters, he is also the sword or weapon preserving the balance, while Mothra is the queen, or rather the shield protecting the balance, specially when a shield can be used as a weapon.
OK well I wasn't expecting to cry today but this really just gave me all the feels.
Man you just made me love her even more
Remember , she is best Monster Waifu .Hail our Queen of the Monsters .
And she is practically a symbol of Naturalist Good .Compassion , Mercy , Love and Beauty being found at its strongest in the most primal of places .How she has not had a crossover with Classic Tarzan , I do not know .
This is a SUPERB analysis of Mothra. Wonderful work on this video.
Nothing will ever change this, not even a mediocre film trilogy.
Amazing as always, keep up the good work
given thought, mothra is more phoenix than rodan xD
That because toho like her more then Rodan. Rodan been mistreated by toho for years while mortha been forced on us forever.
INFERNO95 Not exactly their fault that Mothra is more popular with people than Rodan.
@@INFERNO95 its not really mothras fault
@@yang6642 true
Thanks to toho they mad rodan fans WAYYYYY too butthurt
There's just something so powerful about how Mothra is willing to lay down her life with no hesitation, about how she'll fight no matter how outclassed she is, and about how she's just so pure and good that makes it hard to not love her
Ive always loved big G, but Mothra has always had a special place in my heart as my favorite Kaiju
Bro this is so heartwarming this makes me want to watch the first Godzilla movie to now
Just wonderful! could not have been said better.
Wow...this video...your words...they're so beautiful!
Wow the most warm loving Kaiju, who’s the opposite (in my opinion) not Gojira but it’s Destoroyah the Devil of Monsters
Mothra is no longer the only female Kaiju. Though, she is BY FAR the most well known and easily has the richest and deepest history of the handful that exist. It took nearly 30 years for Toho to introduce its second female Kaiju in Biollante and another decade+ to add Megaguirus to the mix. Legendary's MonsterVerse, on the other hand, seems to have a few from the very beginning. Mothra, obviously. But, Scylla has been referenced as female, Jinshin-Mushi is female and Tiamat and Sekhmet are named after Goddesses, so it's probably fairly safe to speculate that they're also female. Also, Margygr (the corpse located in Castle Bravo) was a female Titan as well. :) Great video though. Very enjoyable.
In the novelization Scylla is actually a male
@@theonewhoismany8072 the novelization calls Scylla female, it was an interview that called her male.
