    I have a super soft spot for 2000, probably because he was my first exposure to the character (and I still love the crazy spines to this day) thanks to Destroy All Monsters on gamecube.
    I do think Shin and Minus One are strong competitors for best of all time, though. Both are instantly iconic.

    @dumpy5266 7 месяцев назад +9

    Allow me to educate you on the differences between the Heisei Godzilla suits
    1984 - more of a return to form with giving him his ears back, 4th toe on each foot, bent arm posture is back, fangs, brown irises
    1989 - Gives us the template the rest stems from. Secondary row of teeth, cat-like face, even-sized dorsal fins, brown irises are retained, muscular build
    1991 - Top of his head is pointier, is a lot more bulky, dorsal fins are moved down a bit so they look really awkward, brown irises remain
    1992 - slimmed down, flatter head top, golden irises, rearranged dorsal fins
    1993 - slimmer shoulders
    1994 - bulky again but with even distribution throughout the body, longer neck, angry eyebrows, bigger eyes
    1995 - burn patches (obviously), new dorsal fins, fiery orange eyes

    I love the Heisei look and I think it's the most inconically Godzilla, but I just love the Minus One design. Perhaps it's recency bias, but I think it's my new favorite look over 1985.
    Minus One seems like a perfect blend of all the eras into one look. It has the shape and proportions of the early films, it has the massive legs like Heisei (yet doesn't look like fat baby rolls), and the spiky spines of Millennium, and it also uses pure CGI to its advantage by making him look more dinosaur and less like a bipedal human standing upright in a suit. My only negative is that he's a brownish tone, where I wish he was more black like Heisei.

    Shin Godzilla most brilliant take is contrasting how stationary his body is opposed to his tale which constantly moves like a snake. Shin Godzilla is scary, and most important devoided of emotion which makes it so much more scary and believable as a mutated outerwordly creature. To me perfectly embodies what the first Godzilla meant and it's an S tier.

    The first A choice you made should be the first S tier. When godzilla emerges by the lighthouse b4 fighting Ghidora is probably the best shot of Godzilla ever. We all liked minus 1...but its not really a suit.

    I can’t speak for all Godzilla fans, but I can say as a lifelong lover of the franchise no need to worry about how your taste in suits “fits” with anyone else’s. The beauty of Godzilla as a whole is that there are SO MANY flavors to enjoy, and 20 different people can have 20 different rankings, and it all great.
    Personally speaking, my tier list would be so boring because I would put almost all of them in A 😅. What can I say, I love Godzilla so much that I look at almost any version of him, and I’m like, “This is awesome! Yes, please, I would like a figure of that, Toho/Legendary.”
    That being said, I feel like I have a couple of hot takes because I’m not as huge of a fan of that last two Japanese looks, and fans seem to love them. Shin Godzilla’s design I love, but I just wish it was a bit more alive and mobile. That’s a matter of taste, though, and the filmmakers were clearly going for a very still and imposing vibe which worked for many. It works for me, too, but not as well. I’m also not a fan of the Godzilla Minus One look. The propositions and texture rub me the wrong way and I don’t care for the head. I don’t hate the design, but it’s one that I’d put in a “it’s fine” tier. The irony here is that Minus One is already one of my top Godzilla movies.
    Anyways, stomp on!

    God LOVED YOU so MUCH that He sent His only begotten son to die in YOUR PLACE so you won't have to die under Gods judgement but live forever IF you fully trust in Jesus, now that he's risen. Please repent. We all broke God's law, we sinned, but Jesus paid our fine. Romans 3:23, Revelations 21:8, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 10:8-10. Put ur trust in Jesus now, the only way to heaven. a lot of religions say Jesus is a way, a good teacher, Jesus said he's the only way John 14:6 none of us are good Mark 10:17-27, but when we put our faith in Christ we pass from death to life John 5:24 John 11:25-26. We're clothed in his righteousness Isaiah 61:10-11 2 Corinthians 5:4 it's good to trust in him and not how we perceive things, he'll direct our paths, and it's also good to turn from evil n follow him too.
