In case you guys didn't catch it, when Mothra sacrificed herself, her body disintegrated over Godzilla's and initiated a reaction in him that allowed for his atomic form. When he's blasting out that radiation in the end, you can not only see her wings in the blast wave, but you can hear her call, as she's essentially assisting Godzilla in battle. That's the nature of their symbiotic relationship, and why she's considered the Queen. And as others have mentioned, she usually lays an egg that will grow into a clone of the mother, so Mothra lives on.
Yah ghidora was crazy strong , beats Godzilla but Godzilla has to be revived, helped by humans and mothra and also overloaded to win lol, so kinda cheated
@@bigjay123 Gamera is not in the Monsterverse nor is in this movie. That's a new Titan called Methuselah the mountain titan we saw in Germany. Also yes I remember him fighting Guiron. That fight was silly and I love it. I can't wait for Gamera rebirth
Agreed, and the fact that his sacrifice had a lasting impact on Godzilla really makes this scene special, in the novelisation, he actually does recognise the doctor as one of the humans who has been following him for the last couple of years since he first saw him after he woke up from his battle with the Mutos, and when he realises the doctor gave his life so that he could defeat Ghidorah, Godzilla goes out of his way to honour and remember this single man, showing more care for Humanity by ordering the Titans to peaceful coexist with humans and help restore the planet, later in Godzilla: Dominion when he goes back to the ruins of his old lair, he even thinks that this is the place where he lived with humans and the place where one died for him, showing that the doctor final act is something he is not ever going to forget.
@@wolfwing1 it would have been a nice idea, but ultimately pointless, the combination of intense heat, radiation and breathable air was already killing him, the bomb just sped up the process just like it sped up Godzilla’s healing, honestly, we can take heart in the fact though that the detonation DID spare him a lot of pain and at least allowed him to die with dignity.
As a 54 year old Godzilla fan since childhood- this movie was spectacular! Seeing it in the theaters and coming out hoarse forming yelling was a wonderful experience! Go go Godzilla!
This movie is peak cinema in my personal opinion, seeing this in theatres was the most memorable cinema experience of my life. Other than the final planet of the apes movie. The visuals and the soundtrack for this specifically just goes tf off and it’s SO much fun. TEAM GODZILLA!!!
Yeah I saw it in theaters it was a great experience in IMAX 3-D me and my wife my cousin and her husband saw it the soundtrack brought back childhood memories
There are a few things from the original series that might help you understand some points in this movie: 1) Mothra is benign and absolutely no threat to humans--this is why the Monarch staff are so comfortable around her. There is actually only one of her species and she endlessly reincarnates her mind via being reborn into the eggs she lays (eg. they are laid in safe areas and one will hatch where her current body dies). 2) The Oxygen Destroyer is basically a super-nuke that kills all carbon-based life. King Ghidorah isn't carbon-based, so he's immune (he's silicon-based). 3) The final scene is Godzilla using his most powerful attack, called a nuclear pulse. It was introduced in some of the 90s material and is only possible when he has fed on massive amounts of radiation and his internal temperature spikes. One new thing in this movie is, if you look and listen close, you see the Mothra wing pattern and hear the Mothra scream when he uses the pulse, suggesting that Mothra donated her power to him for the attack. The monsterverse is based mostly in the run of Godzilla where humans are the real villains of the story. Our destruction of the environment and just general meddling created all of these problems, and Godzilla is just leveling the scales.
@@Urmomsdaddy1 There isn't a name for it. There are three general series: 1) The original Japanese movies (which are divided into 4 eras: Showa, Heisei, TriStar and Millennium); this is where classic characters like Mothra and Rodan were introduced. 2) The 1998 American movie continuum 3) The Monsterverse series (which this is a part of)
@@Urmomsdaddy1 No problem. There are some weird Kaiju from the original series that I hope make it into the Monsterverse. For example, Biollante is the result of an experiment that combines human, rose, and Godzilla cells--the result is a plant Kaiju triple Godzilla's size, which is absolutely impossible to kill because it turns into spores upon bodily destruction, and will eventually reform. It's just a feature of earth, and will become the dominant lifeform on the planet the moment a Godzilla isn't around to whack a mole it back into spores. A good percentage of the original series has an overriding message that humans messing with the environment and trying to play god results in horrific outcomes.
Kong gets mentioned the movies novelization. He hears Ghidorahs roar when he becomes alpha and just ignores it. He spends the rest of the movie stopping all of the skullcrawlers from leaving his island. He's the only Kaiju who can out right ignore any call to arms.
Because he's an alpha too. But other than that on a more technical note, he's a gorilla, which means very high level of intelligence. Heck he can effectively communicate with humans and even learns sign language. He's too smart to be controlled by such primitive instincts.
Merian C. Cooper created Kong and inspired everyone whom followed with the concept of Giant creatures vs Man. If not for him none of this would be the same.
Apparently the director said one of the reasons Mothra was agitated when she is first born is this this was her first reincarnation where her priestesses were not there to greet her and sing for her
This whole movie was a love letter to half a century of Toho's daikaiju movies. You can feel the creators' reverence for these creatures and precedents flowing off the screen.
monster zero’s roar at 25:17 will forever be my favorite scene in cinema history, it’s so badass and intimidating. I also love how when Godzilla does his explosions at 39:48, you can hear mothra’s calls each time he does them
Yeah, as soon as I saw that Mothra could spit silk out of her mouth, I knew that she was a silk worm larvae, which of course, turns into a silk worm moth. Mostly white with golden antennae. But, Mothra's special, considering she has also red, black and gold patterns in her wings. What a beautiful queen for Godzilla. It's also extremely awesome how they put a scientific spin on how Godzilla and Mothra are symbiotic species. One helps the other during their life cycles. Also, don't worry about Mothra. If they do with her character the same way as in the old Toho movies, then she always comes back. The old Mothra lays an egg, she dies, then that egg hatches into a Mothra clone, or rather a reincarnation of her own mother. She will continue to do this forever, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
It would be so awesome if they kept Mothra as a deity/goddess, I mean we have an alien world conqueror/destroyer three headed hydra, it wouldn't be so far off, and they all were worshipped as gods at least once
@@ChronicaErys Mothra is confirmed to reincarnate like the old cannon timelines. Godzilla currently can sense basically any energy source and life form on planet earth as a biproduct of Mothras sacrifice
@@calebreynolds9183 would he sense when she hatches again on the Moon? Imagine how awesome a scene it'd be to have her coming back to earth like a meteor
I've been waiting to you guys react to this movie, it's one of my favorites in the Monsterverse movies and seeing Big G, Mothra, Rodan and king Ghidorah together in an American movie is just awesome. This movie also shows the people designing these monsters and working on this movie love the old school Godzilla movies as well as pay homage to them such as the different outposts are named after the date the movies came out. Mothra - Outpost 61 (Mothra came out in 1961) Rodan - Outpost 56 (Rodan came out in 1956) Kong - Outpost 33 (Kong came out in 1933)
This movie is a giant tribute to the OG Japanese movies. And when I saw this premiere night, the crowd was just perfect. And it's summed up in the music. They used the OG music, like Mothra's theme, Godzilla March, it's just perfect. And at the end credits, they sent off the original Godzilla suit actor who had passed away, proving that this movie was made by fans, for fans. Loved the reactions to the best moments too, since Dr. Serizawa is named after the 54' scientist who created the Oxygen Destroyer and killed himself so that knowledge would never be replicated.
By far my favorite movie from the Monsterverse. I totally love the visuals of Godzilla, how they make his size believable. And his iconic roar is the second most recognizable sound to me, only being beaten by Jurassic Park‘s Rexie.
33:10 This scene was really incredible thinking that godzilla was going to attack and eat them, but instead with his massive eyes he looks deeply into not just their eyes but their souls, seeing that there is goodness within them and that they are not a threat.
This was phenomenal at the movies, when Doc and Mothra both sacrifice themselves for Godzilla it hits me in the feels every time... Long live the King!
I saw this 3 times on theaters, and i cried everytime mothra appeared, i dont know, i just love her. and serizawa sacrifice of course, that one was hearth toching.
I love how the Hollow Earth theory and the missing continents were put in the Monsterverse. It would make sense for Godzilla be adored as a god and protector of nothing less than Atlantis and go back there to regenerate at his own shrine.
The throwback to Burning Godzilla is one of the coolest moments of this film. When I saw it in theaters, I knew that Godzilla was either going to have to go into his burning form, or somehow transform into Shin Godzilla to beat Ghidorah. These monsterverse movies do a really good job of hitting the nostalgia notes for the longtime fans.
The director, Michael Dougherty, is such a massive kaiju fan and you can tell. Even the little things like the numbers of the Monarch outposts homage the debut years of the monsters. Outpost 54 is 1954 for Godzilla, 56 is for Rodan in 1956, and Mothra is 61 for 1961. The only exception is Ghidorah who is Outpost 32 when he debuted in 1964. It's 32 to homage The Thing, which had an Antarctic outpost labeled Outpost 31. Even Bear McCreary's score echoes both Godzilla and Mothra's original theme. I love his downright horror theme for Ghidorah. Also in the traditional lore, Mothra has two twin priestesses who communicate with her psychically but in the og movies, they are about a foot tall. The twin scientists in this are meant to serve as that role. I also love they kept Ghidorah's origin as an alien and is honestly my favorite depiction of his rivalry with Godzilla. It really makes him feel almost biblical especially regarding the scenes where they talk about how many cultures viewed him as their devil. Monster Zero is actually a reference to the alternate name an alien race has for Ghidorah in the 60s Godzilla film, Invasion of Astro Monster. Lastly, Serizewa sacrificing himself is an inverse of the original Godzilla where that Serizewa was forced to use the oxygen destroyer to kill Godzilla whereas its effects are inverted here.
I normally dont go to cinemas by myself but wanted to watch Godzilla vs King Ghidorah in theaters ALONE so that I could nerd out to myself and suck up all the excitement and thrill of seeing all the titans come to life and throw down on the big screens. It was the best heckin self-care evening I ever had so far! xDDD
KOTM is such a gem man, a true fan's love letter. And I am so glad the Monsterverse will continue after GvK with 3 projects! GxK: The New Empire movie, Monarch TV series, and a Skull Island anime-style prequel series.
So glad to see you guys enjoying the Godzilla franchise! We’re always glad to have more people join our ranks! If I might suggest however, at some point you guys NEED to watch the original 1954 Godzilla movie (the Japanese, not American version) and see the origins of the King of the Monsters!
So glad you guys watched the 2019 film! I remember watching it in the theatre with my dad when it came out and it was truely awesome, love your content!
I was pretty conflicted about this movie when it came out, I even put watching off for some time. I think I was nervous that they would overdo, somehow. That other monsters would overshadow Godzilla, or that the people would act stupid etc. I guess I just care about my favourite monster too much 😁 It turned out great after all. Glad to see you enjoy this one more! 😊👍
MUCH BETTER!!!! It seems they learned from Godzilla and gave us an all out monster attack here. What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

There's a ton of Easter eggs in this movie like The outpost for the monsters Outpost 54 the original release date for Gojira Outpost 56 Rodan Outpost 61 Mothra Outpost 32 half is half of 64 Ghidorah the three headed monster release date and hints of ghidorah being a alien. The oxygen destroyer Burning Godzilla The Mothra twins the Godzilla and Mothra themes Such a great love letter to Godzilla fans. 11:49 no Godzilla done it way before toothless
God I love this one so much. It's everything I ever wanted in a big budget Hollywood Godzilla movie, and it's a genuinely gorgeous movie, they play with colours and framing so well. Some shots are goddamn perfection. Ghidorah atop the volcano, Mothra's in the waterfall... Seeing this in the theaters was an insane experience. Also, they re-use/arrange the original Godzilla theme which was a treat!
What I love about this film series is the connection to Straight Outta Compton film. Kong: Skull had both Easy-E and Dr. Dre actors. This movie had Ice Cube, who was played by his son
I also didn’t know until I went back and rewatched this movie that Anthony Ramos was in it. This movie, Hamilton, In The Heights, Dumb Money, and the last Transformers movie, Rise of the Beasts. He’s practically everywhere now.
I think most people misunderstand Dr. Russel's plan. If Ghidora wasn't in the picture, the awakened monsters would have just followed Godzilla's lead. i.e. no mass destruction, just healing. However, she messed up by not carefully studying all of them like Monarch was doing to try to figure out which one's were good and which one's were bad. She wanted quick results in order to fix the climate emergency and to be fair, it would have been fine if it wasn't for Ghidora. And she can't be entirely blamed for not anticipating that one of the monsters was an alien which up until then, were not known to exist. She can be blamed for rushing though.
Thank you, people just think she is just a mad woman (well she is to some extent) pulling Thanos but her plan wasn't bad within the world building to this movie. In real life the whole Earth's population can settle in America but within the Godzilla universe, overpopulation and wars are much extended which is destroying their eco system. Had she researched more about the titans she would've awakened them one by one with Godzilla as lead. The radiation of Titans were different from normal radiation, their radiation could make the Earth bloom.
Yeah, in the end credits you see news reports talking about how Godzilla's radiation was restoring marine life, another Titan restoring forests etc. So Titans are very good for biodiversity. It's freeing Gidorah that messed up their plan.
I took a day off work to go watch this in theaters had goosebumps almost through the whole movie the speakers vibrating when Godzilla charged up his breath was something else
I remember a fan asked on twitter how director felt about the OG oxygen destroyer weapon and director went oh you mean this? And showed an image of said weapon and it was not the design of the OG fans lost it. Also during comic con panel a fan asked about the OG music, and he said oh yeah we're gonna have it fans lost it. And man oh man did that music hit. Also the shot of Godzilla waking to the final battle has been parodied and shot to make it seem like he appears in end game x'D
I gotta say the trailer for this movie was beautiful , can’t remember which one but the music choice was so good and when mothra opened her wings the music picks up , it’s so good
I LOVE that final kill shot Godzilla gives Ghidorah's remaining head at the end of the movie. Also Godzilla's Japanese name is Gojira. It's a combination of the Japanese words for gorilla (gorira) and whale (kujira). Godzilla absorbed the radiation from that nuke and grew from 355 feet to 394 feet. Mothra sacrifices herself and lends her energy to Godzilla as he entered his Thermonuclear form. What I love after the fight is that glare that Godzilla gave to Rodan. That was hands down a "bow down or die" look.
I LOVE this movie! I saw it in theaters (and couldn't stop smiling), I bought the blu-ray the day it was released and watched it again that night. All the little nods to the old Godzilla movies, the music, it just ticked every box for me. Bravo 👏👏👏
The sound design here in this movie is epic. Especially when you get a large and/or powerful subwoofer. After watching godzilla movie on VHS multiple times. I smile every time I rewatch scenes in this movie.
Cant wait for the Kong vs Godzilla reaction! These videos are always a fun time, some of my favorite reactions you guys do that i watch are movies ive never seen either
Ghidorah is Godzilla’s equivalent to the Joker, and Godzilla always stops whatever he’s doing and immediately goes off to face him whenever Ghidorah is back on earth. It’s personal between them; the two absolutely hate each other. The next movie is so heavily edited and trimmed that it really feels like a lot of lost opportunities, but for what it promises - Godzilla vs Kong - it pulls out ALL the stops and delivers like no film has ever delivered. Can’t wait to see your reactions.
Excellent reaction guys! As a kid, I grew up with these monster movies and saw elements in this film from 2 old school films: Monster Zero which has aliens come "in peace", capture Godzilla and Rodan to take back to their planet to fend off Ghidorah, only to come back to earth with all 3 monsters under mind control tech built into their ship to conquer earth; then in Destroy All Monsters, all earth's monsters vs the "undocumented" alien Ghidorah.
31:06 I saw this in theaters and it was AWESOME!! That was the only thing I wanted for my birthday that year. Was to see this in theaters and it DID NOT dissappoint. One of my favorite movies!
This was my first movie and introduction to the monsterverse and I can confidently say that it is my favourite movie in all my 18 years alive, Mothra is and will always have a place in my heart
Alright, nerdy reference breakdown😂. Cause this movie is definitely a love letter to Godzilla. Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah are the three most popular of the old Toho monsters outside of Godzilla himself and the last time all four were on screen together was in 1968. The outpost numbers mostly correspond with the year each monster made their first appearance. Castle Bravo in the ocean is outpost 54; the first Godzilla came out in 1954. The base in the rainforest where Mothra hatches is outpost 61, Mothra came out in 1961. And the outpost in Mexico where Rodan breaks out is outpost 56 and Rodan came out in 1956. The only one that doesn't match this is for Ghidorah, because he was first introduced in 1964, but the outpost in Antarctica is 32. The oxygen destroyer that the military used to almost kill Godzilla in this movie is the weapon that actually did kill him in the original '54 movie. It works by destroying all oxygen in water, so any and all sea life will just suffocate. In that movie, the oxygen destroyer was invented by a Dr. Serizawa, but in that movie, he sacrificed himself to use it and kill Godzilla, whereas this movie's Serizawa sacrifices himself to save Godzilla. The title King of the Monsters is also what the '54 movie was called when it was released in America and in newspaper credits, one article is written by Steve Martin who was Raymond Burr's character that was added to the '54 movie when it came to America. My absolute favorite easter eggs are the three pieces of music that are taken from the old movies and reworked into this one. First is one of Godzilla's theme's which plays when he first breaks out of the ice to confront Ghidorah in Antarctica. The second, more famous theme which has been around since the very first movie and was used in nearly every movie that came out after 1989 was the track that played when he was resurrected and burst out of the water in front of the submarine. And lastly, Mothra's theme from the old movies was heard when she hatched out of her cocoon in the waterfall. And speaking of Mothra, in every movie she's been in, she's been accompanied by two very tiny twin priestesses. This movie works them in in the form of the two sisters, one of whom tells Mark that they're third generation Monarch and shows him pictures of her family, all of which depict two twin sisters in them. And there's two or three instancrs where they use Godzilla's roar from the old movies, the more high pitched one. You hear it once when Ghidorah pushes him into the hole in Antarctica and again when he shows up in Boston at the end. Godzilla glowing red is a reference to Burning Godzilla from the 1995 movie when his heart went into a nuclear meltdown and slowly melted his body from the inside out. The whole goal of that movie was to try to find a way to kill him before he exploded because such a blast would've destroyed the world. So there was a little nod to that with the thing at the end about Godzilla possibly going critical mass and exploding
Also, the joke about "i can imagine a godzilla superfan was a part of this..." Yes. The director grew up as a Godzilla fan especially dur to his japanese heritage, so he took inspiration from the old 70s movies when writing the movie
Great seeing reactions to Godzilla movies as I'm a massive kaiju kid. I grew up first seeing Godzilla vs Megalon and I've loved everything godzilla since. Serizawa's sacrifice always gets me.
Mothra has always been the "kindest" of the monsters in all of the editions of the monsterverse, shes the closest thing to a genuine loving god that there is
This movie is absolutely incredible i love it the characters the monsters I can't wait for you guys to see Godzilla vs Kong my personal favorite of these movies
During the scene where Madison calls Ghidorah at the baseball stadium, there's an easter egg where you hear the electronic roar/noise that King Ghidorah makes in the original older films. If you ever seen Godzilla 2000 (movie), the radiation pulse has always been his most powerful signature move but usually that requires a ton of energy.
The excellent score composed and conducted by Bear McCreary's kicks so much ass! His tributes to Akira ifukube(Godzilla's theme) and Yuji Koseki(Mothra's song) are legendary. Also Bear's theme for King Ghidorah is powerful.
Only Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah are old school Godzilla monsters. All the others are original monsters created by Legendary. At the waterfall scene they show an older doctor who is the young Dr Brooks from Kong's movie. Also the twin doctors are an homage to the twin "fairies" from the old Mothra movies. If you watched the closing credits, you see several news stories how the monsters radiation is restoring the planet. If one of the monsters starts getting destructive, Godzilla is there to put them in their place.
The build up sound for Godzilla's atomic breath is so cool. I hope someday we will get some interesting lore or screen time on the other kaiju. I really want to see more of Behemoth 40:34
I'm really sad that you guys didn't really like Godzilla (2014), is one of my favorites from the monster verse 😢 the fact that they don't let you see Godzilla all the time made the appearances so much more godly and powerful
Man, I remember seeing the original in the cinema and everybody was muttering about them not showing Big G... until he finally showed up. Such an entrance.
@@sampletexttablet8558 The point was that JAWS had less than half the screen time that GODZILLA had, not to mention we didn't even see "Bruce" until well over an hour into the movie. Their complaint was screen time, so that's what I was addressing. *shrug*
Highly recommend watching the old Godzilla films. Specifically the original and the “heise era”. My personal favorite era of Godzilla and they’re all connected
Dr. Russel's plan wasn't diabolical. If you see the end credits, you see news reports of Godzilla restoring marine life and keeping other Titans under control. Another titan, Mammoth restoring forests etc. None of the Titans are attacking humans. So her plan would've actually worked, if not for Gidorah. They didn't account for him being an alien species and not one that is part of the Earth ecosystem like Godzilla and the other titans. Thats why the Oxygen Destroyer doesn't kill him.
this was such a cool movie and if your a godzilla fan like i am and seen the ones from the 50's 60's and 70's ladies & gentlemen you will not be disappointed so worth it to have this on blu ray they went all out such a big budget epic good story i was very much impressed the folks that made this should get some kind of recognition because they deserve it here these monsters from japanese folklore i have enjoyed these movies since i was 10-12 years old such a classic so good such a masterpiece even if your not familiar with the kaiju this was so well made
I saw "Godzilla vs. King Ghidora" twice as a child and was very impressed so I liked this one a lot. I only whished they had given as a bette look on some of the other titans.
You guys are one of the reasons why I have a purpose to live everyday keep up the good work and I can't wait for y'all to watch Godzilla versus Kong much love God bless and stay safe
I watched those really old godzilla movies, the japanese ones, with the guy in the costume, and (again) GODzilla VS KING ghidorah is waaaaaay to crazy, like time travel stuff that makes no sense, so I'm glad they made this one that way, and gave a more reasonable answer to Ghidorah origins.
A fun fact about the scene of Burning Godzilla: Remember that Mothra sacrificed herself and that kind of glow fell over Godzilla? Well, later when he does the red explosions, the blast shape is Mothra's wings and the sound is her roar. Showing the relationship between King and Queen of the monsters. This movie was a total roller-coaster when I saw it on the movies and I just love it so much
Late response, and if any of you see this, you probably by now know all of this. This is my favorite of the movies, because it's loosely based on the original 1964 "Ghirdorah the Three-Headed Monster" which has sentimental value to me. In 1999 (maybe 2000), I was given the VHS for my 9 or 10th birthday from my Great Grandmother (Died 2003) and Great Aunt. I still have the movie to this day. Box is a bit beat up, but it still works.
So for some things, Godzilla's red form is known as Burning Godzilla in the original series Burning Godzilla was formed when the Radiation in his body reached critical mass. In this form he not only had a stronger breath attack but his energy was practically erupting from his body. If he was left alone he would've exploded and caused an explosion powerful enough to take the earth with him. So they had to freeze his body to prevent this. Also fun fact in the movie involving Burning Godzilla the Oxygen destroyer was a key plot point as the monster he fought against was born from a unique mutation of the Oxygen destroyer and an ancient life form called Destroyah one of Godzilla's most powerful foes. Also in the series Mothra is more than just a giant silk worm it is in fact a deity, she is a benevolent and kind being who will gladly aid humans but she cares most for her followers. Twin fairies who serve as the voice of Mothra, Mothra typically after attaining her Imago form will lay an egg ensuring that even should she die there will be another Mothra to take her place. Also yes Mothra are typically all female there was only one male Mothra Mothra Leo who could be considered the most powerful out of all Mothra, Leo literally has the ability to travel through time. Finally King Ghidorah is a heavily recurring Villain for Godzilla and being one of the few monsters to give Godzilla a real run for his money. Also not sure if you noticed but the Ghidorah heads in this movie have distinct personalities. Finally in terms of numbers there are alot more than just 17 monsters in the old series. In fact the monsters here that are from the old series are only Godzilla, Ghidorah, Kong, Mothra and Rodan the rest of the monsters here are completely brand new.
Great reaction! Can't wait to see your reaction to Godzilla vs Kong! Just want to throw this out there, we are over populated and it has nothing to with space, and everything to do with resources.
Not sure if this applies to all the locations but for each of the Monarch location number reflects the year that the monster made its move debut. For Mothra it was outpost 61 and 1961 was when (I think) she first appeared
Also bc it's relevant and those who get the reference 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!
You guys are amazing!!! I'm working my way through all your videos. - i sure hope ppl have voted for Basic with John Travolta and Pacific Rim (to go with your monster series!! 😁😁😁)
In case you guys didn't catch it, when Mothra sacrificed herself, her body disintegrated over Godzilla's and initiated a reaction in him that allowed for his atomic form. When he's blasting out that radiation in the end, you can not only see her wings in the blast wave, but you can hear her call, as she's essentially assisting Godzilla in battle. That's the nature of their symbiotic relationship, and why she's considered the Queen. And as others have mentioned, she usually lays an egg that will grow into a clone of the mother, so Mothra lives on.
Yeah, I was bummed they cut out that part with Mothra, it was integral as much as it was a beautiful scene, I think.
Didn't even know or realize Mothra "died".
Wow I never thought about it this way and it definitely explains how Godzilla evolves from that point on.. thanks for this!
@kristianberg4264 easy to not understand what was happening, I missed it the first few watches I'm sure
Yeah, she's basically an insect phoenix.
Seeing Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and king Ghidorah together with an American budget is a fans dream come true
Then we got a redo of Godzilla vs Kong? We’re so spoiled
Which one was the turtle... Gammara?
Remember when he fought at blade headed monster?
Yah ghidora was crazy strong , beats Godzilla but Godzilla has to be revived, helped by humans and mothra and also overloaded to win lol, so kinda cheated
@@bigjay123 Gamera is not in the Monsterverse nor is in this movie. That's a new Titan called Methuselah the mountain titan we saw in Germany. Also yes I remember him fighting Guiron. That fight was silly and I love it. I can't wait for Gamera rebirth
@@ShilohSmith 😂😂 I know right
The doctor sacrificing himself to save Godzilla is such a beautiful scene. It was sad to see him go, but it was a good end.
Agreed, and the fact that his sacrifice had a lasting impact on Godzilla really makes this scene special, in the novelisation, he actually does recognise the doctor as one of the humans who has been following him for the last couple of years since he first saw him after he woke up from his battle with the Mutos, and when he realises the doctor gave his life so that he could defeat Ghidorah, Godzilla goes out of his way to honour and remember this single man, showing more care for Humanity by ordering the Titans to peaceful coexist with humans and help restore the planet, later in Godzilla: Dominion when he goes back to the ruins of his old lair, he even thinks that this is the place where he lived with humans and the place where one died for him, showing that the doctor final act is something he is not ever going to forget.
I almost wondered if godzilla would grab him by the mouth and try to protect him inside.
@@wolfwing1nah,I hoped that too but Godzilla was pretty weak at that moment.
@@t-rexcellentreviews1663indeed, by sacrificing himself, Serizawa proved his point to both humans and titans that they could coexist.
@@wolfwing1 it would have been a nice idea, but ultimately pointless, the combination of intense heat, radiation and breathable air was already killing him, the bomb just sped up the process just like it sped up Godzilla’s healing, honestly, we can take heart in the fact though that the detonation DID spare him a lot of pain and at least allowed him to die with dignity.
The part where they all bow to Godzilla still gives me chills. Truly King of the Monsters.
I love that scene so much. Wallpaper worthy
As a 54 year old Godzilla fan since childhood- this movie was spectacular! Seeing it in the theaters and coming out hoarse forming yelling was a wonderful experience! Go go Godzilla!

There are a few things from the original series that might help you understand some points in this movie:
1) Mothra is benign and absolutely no threat to humans--this is why the Monarch staff are so comfortable around her. There is actually only one of her species and she endlessly reincarnates her mind via being reborn into the eggs she lays (eg. they are laid in safe areas and one will hatch where her current body dies).
2) The Oxygen Destroyer is basically a super-nuke that kills all carbon-based life. King Ghidorah isn't carbon-based, so he's immune (he's silicon-based).
3) The final scene is Godzilla using his most powerful attack, called a nuclear pulse. It was introduced in some of the 90s material and is only possible when he has fed on massive amounts of radiation and his internal temperature spikes. One new thing in this movie is, if you look and listen close, you see the Mothra wing pattern and hear the Mothra scream when he uses the pulse, suggesting that Mothra donated her power to him for the attack.
The monsterverse is based mostly in the run of Godzilla where humans are the real villains of the story. Our destruction of the environment and just general meddling created all of these problems, and Godzilla is just leveling the scales.
And I thought my comment just covering the third point was informative, lol
what is the name of the original series??
@@Urmomsdaddy1 There isn't a name for it. There are three general series:
1) The original Japanese movies (which are divided into 4 eras: Showa, Heisei, TriStar and Millennium); this is where classic characters like Mothra and Rodan were introduced.
2) The 1998 American movie continuum
3) The Monsterverse series (which this is a part of)
@@theprogressivecynic2407 Thank youu
@@Urmomsdaddy1 No problem. There are some weird Kaiju from the original series that I hope make it into the Monsterverse. For example, Biollante is the result of an experiment that combines human, rose, and Godzilla cells--the result is a plant Kaiju triple Godzilla's size, which is absolutely impossible to kill because it turns into spores upon bodily destruction, and will eventually reform. It's just a feature of earth, and will become the dominant lifeform on the planet the moment a Godzilla isn't around to whack a mole it back into spores. A good percentage of the original series has an overriding message that humans messing with the environment and trying to play god results in horrific outcomes.
Kong gets mentioned the movies novelization. He hears Ghidorahs roar when he becomes alpha and just ignores it. He spends the rest of the movie stopping all of the skullcrawlers from leaving his island. He's the only Kaiju who can out right ignore any call to arms.
Because he's an alpha too.
But other than that on a more technical note, he's a gorilla, which means very high level of intelligence. Heck he can effectively communicate with humans and even learns sign language. He's too smart to be controlled by such primitive instincts.
@HIMADRI Also, Ghidorah called all Titans to kill and destroy everything which is probably another reason why king didn't listen
Kong is a chill dude trying live in peace on his island.
They even had to drag him out to fight some angry amphibian.
Mothra did as well.
Merian C. Cooper created Kong and inspired everyone whom followed with the concept of Giant creatures vs Man. If not for him none of this would be the same.
This is easily my favorite Godzilla movie! Tbh, the final fight scenes is the reason why I love it so much lol
Apparently the director said one of the reasons Mothra was agitated when she is first born is this this was her first reincarnation where her priestesses were not there to greet her and sing for her
This makes since. She always has twin girls sing to her
@@bombomos But there were twins. The research ladies were the twins, maybe not 12" tall twins, but a Crouching Tiger lady.
35:14 The original theme and roar, how humans and Godzilla attacked Ghidorah together....it felt so much like one of the good old Godzilla movies
39:48 I like how they put image of Mothra's wings in Godzilla's blast wave as a sign that she gave him some of her power when she died
Lemme just say as a Toho fan I had tears in my eyes they gave me exactly what I wanted
Same 😁
Same
This whole movie was a love letter to half a century of Toho's daikaiju movies. You can feel the creators' reverence for these creatures and precedents flowing off the screen.
THE TWINS SCEEN IS WHAT GOT ME😢
monster zero’s roar at 25:17 will forever be my favorite scene in cinema history, it’s so badass and intimidating. I also love how when Godzilla does his explosions at 39:48, you can hear mothra’s calls each time he does them
Yeah, as soon as I saw that Mothra could spit silk out of her mouth, I knew that she was a silk worm larvae, which of course, turns into a silk worm moth. Mostly white with golden antennae. But, Mothra's special, considering she has also red, black and gold patterns in her wings. What a beautiful queen for Godzilla. It's also extremely awesome how they put a scientific spin on how Godzilla and Mothra are symbiotic species. One helps the other during their life cycles. Also, don't worry about Mothra. If they do with her character the same way as in the old Toho movies, then she always comes back. The old Mothra lays an egg, she dies, then that egg hatches into a Mothra clone, or rather a reincarnation of her own mother. She will continue to do this forever, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
It would be so awesome if they kept Mothra as a deity/goddess, I mean we have an alien world conqueror/destroyer three headed hydra, it wouldn't be so far off, and they all were worshipped as gods at least once
@@ChronicaErys Hey, Godzilla's already a god in this universe, according to Dr. Serizawa. R.I.P. Dr. Serizawa.
@@CassieJo Forever in our hearts, maybe Dr Chen can continue his legacy
@@ChronicaErys
Mothra is confirmed to reincarnate like the old cannon timelines. Godzilla currently can sense basically any energy source and life form on planet earth as a biproduct of Mothras sacrifice
@@calebreynolds9183 would he sense when she hatches again on the Moon? Imagine how awesome a scene it'd be to have her coming back to earth like a meteor
I've been waiting to you guys react to this movie, it's one of my favorites in the Monsterverse movies and seeing Big G, Mothra, Rodan and king Ghidorah together in an American movie is just awesome. This movie also shows the people designing these monsters and working on this movie love the old school Godzilla movies as well as pay homage to them such as the different outposts are named after the date the movies came out.
Mothra - Outpost 61 (Mothra came out in 1961)
Rodan - Outpost 56 (Rodan came out in 1956)
Kong - Outpost 33 (Kong came out in 1933)
Then Ghidorah's outpost breaks the theming, but is a shout-out instead: Outpost 32, neighbor to Antarctic Outpost 31 from John Carpenter's The Thing!
That's amazing!
This movie is a giant tribute to the OG Japanese movies. And when I saw this premiere night, the crowd was just perfect. And it's summed up in the music. They used the OG music, like Mothra's theme, Godzilla March, it's just perfect. And at the end credits, they sent off the original Godzilla suit actor who had passed away, proving that this movie was made by fans, for fans. Loved the reactions to the best moments too, since Dr. Serizawa is named after the 54' scientist who created the Oxygen Destroyer and killed himself so that knowledge would never be replicated.
By far my favorite movie from the Monsterverse. I totally love the visuals of Godzilla, how they make his size believable. And his iconic roar is the second most recognizable sound to me, only being beaten by Jurassic Park‘s Rexie.
This one blew me away! This, Doctor Sleep [hope you get around to that; Mike Flanagan wrote/directed], and Endgame were my favourite movies of 2019!
Good call mentioning Doctor Sleep! Darn impressive movie.
@@maximillianosaben the book was better tbh, i found the doctor sleep film ok but the book was better
33:10 This scene was really incredible thinking that godzilla was going to attack and eat them, but instead with his massive eyes he looks deeply into not just their eyes but their souls, seeing that there is goodness within them and that they are not a threat.
This was phenomenal at the movies, when Doc and Mothra both sacrifice themselves for Godzilla it hits me in the feels every time... Long live the King!
I saw this 3 times on theaters, and i cried everytime mothra appeared, i dont know, i just love her.
and serizawa sacrifice of course, that one was hearth toching.
I love how the Hollow Earth theory and the missing continents were put in the Monsterverse. It would make sense for Godzilla be adored as a god and protector of nothing less than Atlantis and go back there to regenerate at his own shrine.
I love that the Oak still has Dobby with him.
Always
Ikr that was so cute😂❤
@@BaddMedicine We understood that reference 😢
Cant' wait for the Godzilla V. Kong reaction, this whole universe is really just something else with every movie adding on to what comes before
The throwback to Burning Godzilla is one of the coolest moments of this film. When I saw it in theaters, I knew that Godzilla was either going to have to go into his burning form, or somehow transform into Shin Godzilla to beat Ghidorah.
These monsterverse movies do a really good job of hitting the nostalgia notes for the longtime fans.
The director, Michael Dougherty, is such a massive kaiju fan and you can tell. Even the little things like the numbers of the Monarch outposts homage the debut years of the monsters. Outpost 54 is 1954 for Godzilla, 56 is for Rodan in 1956, and Mothra is 61 for 1961. The only exception is Ghidorah who is Outpost 32 when he debuted in 1964. It's 32 to homage The Thing, which had an Antarctic outpost labeled Outpost 31. Even Bear McCreary's score echoes both Godzilla and Mothra's original theme. I love his downright horror theme for Ghidorah. Also in the traditional lore, Mothra has two twin priestesses who communicate with her psychically but in the og movies, they are about a foot tall. The twin scientists in this are meant to serve as that role. I also love they kept Ghidorah's origin as an alien and is honestly my favorite depiction of his rivalry with Godzilla. It really makes him feel almost biblical especially regarding the scenes where they talk about how many cultures viewed him as their devil. Monster Zero is actually a reference to the alternate name an alien race has for Ghidorah in the 60s Godzilla film, Invasion of Astro Monster. Lastly, Serizewa sacrificing himself is an inverse of the original Godzilla where that Serizewa was forced to use the oxygen destroyer to kill Godzilla whereas its effects are inverted here.
I normally dont go to cinemas by myself but wanted to watch Godzilla vs King Ghidorah in theaters ALONE so that I could nerd out to myself and suck up all the excitement and thrill of seeing all the titans come to life and throw down on the big screens. It was the best heckin self-care evening I ever had so far! xDDD
KOTM is such a gem man, a true fan's love letter. And I am so glad the Monsterverse will continue after GvK with 3 projects! GxK: The New Empire movie, Monarch TV series, and a Skull Island anime-style prequel series.
So glad to see you guys enjoying the Godzilla franchise! We’re always glad to have more people join our ranks! If I might suggest however, at some point you guys NEED to watch the original 1954 Godzilla movie (the Japanese, not American version) and see the origins of the King of the Monsters!
Rodan's intro scene was 🔥
So glad you guys watched the 2019 film! I remember watching it in the theatre with my dad when it came out and it was truely awesome, love your content!
It was so cool seeing these iconic kaiju with updated special effects!
I was pretty conflicted about this movie when it came out, I even put watching off for some time. I think I was nervous that they would overdo, somehow. That other monsters would overshadow Godzilla, or that the people would act stupid etc. I guess I just care about my favourite monster too much 😁 It turned out great after all. Glad to see you enjoy this one more! 😊👍
MUCH BETTER!!!! It seems they learned from Godzilla and gave us an all out monster attack here. What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

There's a ton of Easter eggs in this movie like
The outpost for the monsters
Outpost 54 the original release date for Gojira
Outpost 56 Rodan
Outpost 61 Mothra
Outpost 32 half is half of 64 Ghidorah the three headed monster release date and hints of ghidorah being a alien.
The oxygen destroyer
Burning Godzilla
The Mothra twins
the Godzilla and Mothra themes
Such a great love letter to Godzilla fans. 11:49 no Godzilla done it way before toothless
God I love this one so much. It's everything I ever wanted in a big budget Hollywood Godzilla movie, and it's a genuinely gorgeous movie, they play with colours and framing so well. Some shots are goddamn perfection. Ghidorah atop the volcano, Mothra's in the waterfall... Seeing this in the theaters was an insane experience.
Also, they re-use/arrange the original Godzilla theme which was a treat!
What I love about this film series is the connection to Straight Outta Compton film. Kong: Skull had both Easy-E and Dr. Dre actors. This movie had Ice Cube, who was played by his son
I also didn’t know until I went back and rewatched this movie that Anthony Ramos was in it. This movie, Hamilton, In The Heights, Dumb Money, and the last Transformers movie, Rise of the Beasts. He’s practically everywhere now.
I think most people misunderstand Dr. Russel's plan. If Ghidora wasn't in the picture, the awakened monsters would have just followed Godzilla's lead. i.e. no mass destruction, just healing. However, she messed up by not carefully studying all of them like Monarch was doing to try to figure out which one's were good and which one's were bad. She wanted quick results in order to fix the climate emergency and to be fair, it would have been fine if it wasn't for Ghidora. And she can't be entirely blamed for not anticipating that one of the monsters was an alien which up until then, were not known to exist. She can be blamed for rushing though.
Excellent analysis. I had not thought of it that way.
Thank you, people just think she is just a mad woman (well she is to some extent) pulling Thanos but her plan wasn't bad within the world building to this movie. In real life the whole Earth's population can settle in America but within the Godzilla universe, overpopulation and wars are much extended which is destroying their eco system. Had she researched more about the titans she would've awakened them one by one with Godzilla as lead. The radiation of Titans were different from normal radiation, their radiation could make the Earth bloom.
Yeah, in the end credits you see news reports talking about how Godzilla's radiation was restoring marine life, another Titan restoring forests etc. So Titans are very good for biodiversity. It's freeing Gidorah that messed up their plan.
When godzilla blasts gidorah in 39:46 and after, you can hear mothra’s voice and the blasting wave has a shape of her wings. I just love that detail 😊
This movie was epic on all levels. I honestly can’t rank the monsterverse movies because they all just hit different
I took a day off work to go watch this in theaters had goosebumps almost through the whole movie the speakers vibrating when Godzilla charged up his breath was something else
I remember a fan asked on twitter how director felt about the OG oxygen destroyer weapon and director went oh you mean this? And showed an image of said weapon and it was not the design of the OG fans lost it. Also during comic con panel a fan asked about the OG music, and he said oh yeah we're gonna have it fans lost it. And man oh man did that music hit. Also the shot of Godzilla waking to the final battle has been parodied and shot to make it seem like he appears in end game x'D
Charles Dance is so goddamn great in everything. This, Game of Thrones, he was even good in that Dracula movie a few years back.
I gotta say the trailer for this movie was beautiful , can’t remember which one but the music choice was so good and when mothra opened her wings the music picks up , it’s so good
Watching Godzilla since the drive-in days...a classic monster, perfection.
I LOVE that final kill shot Godzilla gives Ghidorah's remaining head at the end of the movie.
Also Godzilla's Japanese name is Gojira. It's a combination of the Japanese words for gorilla (gorira) and whale (kujira). Godzilla absorbed the radiation from that nuke and grew from 355 feet to 394 feet. Mothra sacrifices herself and lends her energy to Godzilla as he entered his Thermonuclear form. What I love after the fight is that glare that Godzilla gave to Rodan. That was hands down a "bow down or die" look.
I LOVE this movie! I saw it in theaters (and couldn't stop smiling), I bought the blu-ray the day it was released and watched it again that night. All the little nods to the old Godzilla movies, the music, it just ticked every box for me. Bravo 👏👏👏
The sound design here in this movie is epic. Especially when you get a large and/or powerful subwoofer.
After watching godzilla movie on VHS multiple times. I smile every time I rewatch scenes in this movie.
Cant wait for the Kong vs Godzilla reaction! These videos are always a fun time, some of my favorite reactions you guys do that i watch are movies ive never seen either
Also love Godzillas atomic blast that you could gear Mothra's screech and see her wing pattern in the pulse and I love that
Ghidorah is Godzilla’s equivalent to the Joker, and Godzilla always stops whatever he’s doing and immediately goes off to face him whenever Ghidorah is back on earth. It’s personal between them; the two absolutely hate each other.
The next movie is so heavily edited and trimmed that it really feels like a lot of lost opportunities, but for what it promises - Godzilla vs Kong - it pulls out ALL the stops and delivers like no film has ever delivered. Can’t wait to see your reactions.
yep, Covid really affected GvK's production which is a shame, good thing GxK on the other hand seems to be handling smoothly.
Guess that makes Kong his superman
Destroyah probably Bane
Fun fact using the oxygen destroyer does play a role in the old movies. I really hope we see that in the new Godzilla Kong movie coming next year
Excellent reaction guys! As a kid, I grew up with these monster movies and saw elements in this film from 2 old school films: Monster Zero which has aliens come "in peace", capture Godzilla and Rodan to take back to their planet to fend off Ghidorah, only to come back to earth with all 3 monsters under mind control tech built into their ship to conquer earth; then in Destroy All Monsters, all earth's monsters vs the "undocumented" alien Ghidorah.
YESSS! FINALLY! THE GREATEST GODZILLA MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
I love you guys, best reaction channel
Been waiting for this one! Been feeling like death lately and needed something good to watch to pass some time🙌
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Appreciate ya
38:30 he dropped Godzilla from space. Godzilla burning was reentering the atmosphere
Exactly 💯
31:06 I saw this in theaters and it was AWESOME!! That was the only thing I wanted for my birthday that year. Was to see this in theaters and it DID NOT dissappoint. One of my favorite movies!
Bow to the 👑
P.s. knowing from the old Godzilla movies, keeping a monsters head never ends good 😂
as a fan of godzilla. i loved the momen who the good old godzilla soundtrack come in and it will stay for him to be HIS SOUNDtrack!
This was my first movie and introduction to the monsterverse and I can confidently say that it is my favourite movie in all my 18 years alive, Mothra is and will always have a place in my heart
Alright, nerdy reference breakdown😂. Cause this movie is definitely a love letter to Godzilla. Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah are the three most popular of the old Toho monsters outside of Godzilla himself and the last time all four were on screen together was in 1968. The outpost numbers mostly correspond with the year each monster made their first appearance. Castle Bravo in the ocean is outpost 54; the first Godzilla came out in 1954. The base in the rainforest where Mothra hatches is outpost 61, Mothra came out in 1961. And the outpost in Mexico where Rodan breaks out is outpost 56 and Rodan came out in 1956. The only one that doesn't match this is for Ghidorah, because he was first introduced in 1964, but the outpost in Antarctica is 32. The oxygen destroyer that the military used to almost kill Godzilla in this movie is the weapon that actually did kill him in the original '54 movie. It works by destroying all oxygen in water, so any and all sea life will just suffocate. In that movie, the oxygen destroyer was invented by a Dr. Serizawa, but in that movie, he sacrificed himself to use it and kill Godzilla, whereas this movie's Serizawa sacrifices himself to save Godzilla. The title King of the Monsters is also what the '54 movie was called when it was released in America and in newspaper credits, one article is written by Steve Martin who was Raymond Burr's character that was added to the '54 movie when it came to America. My absolute favorite easter eggs are the three pieces of music that are taken from the old movies and reworked into this one. First is one of Godzilla's theme's which plays when he first breaks out of the ice to confront Ghidorah in Antarctica. The second, more famous theme which has been around since the very first movie and was used in nearly every movie that came out after 1989 was the track that played when he was resurrected and burst out of the water in front of the submarine. And lastly, Mothra's theme from the old movies was heard when she hatched out of her cocoon in the waterfall. And speaking of Mothra, in every movie she's been in, she's been accompanied by two very tiny twin priestesses. This movie works them in in the form of the two sisters, one of whom tells Mark that they're third generation Monarch and shows him pictures of her family, all of which depict two twin sisters in them. And there's two or three instancrs where they use Godzilla's roar from the old movies, the more high pitched one. You hear it once when Ghidorah pushes him into the hole in Antarctica and again when he shows up in Boston at the end. Godzilla glowing red is a reference to Burning Godzilla from the 1995 movie when his heart went into a nuclear meltdown and slowly melted his body from the inside out. The whole goal of that movie was to try to find a way to kill him before he exploded because such a blast would've destroyed the world. So there was a little nod to that with the thing at the end about Godzilla possibly going critical mass and exploding
Also, the joke about "i can imagine a godzilla superfan was a part of this..." Yes. The director grew up as a Godzilla fan especially dur to his japanese heritage, so he took inspiration from the old 70s movies when writing the movie
This is the best movie in the series. For me it's so much better than the first one. The soundtrack, visuals, fights everything was top notch.
Charles Dance and Ken Watanabe are amazing actors
Great seeing reactions to Godzilla movies as I'm a massive kaiju kid. I grew up first seeing Godzilla vs Megalon and I've loved everything godzilla since. Serizawa's sacrifice always gets me.
This was by far my favorite Monsterverse movie
Mothra has always been the "kindest" of the monsters in all of the editions of the monsterverse, shes the closest thing to a genuine loving god that there is
Loved this one and as with the other's saw it in IMAX a few times!
Glad you all enjoyed this one too....
This movie is absolutely incredible i love it the characters the monsters I can't wait for you guys to see Godzilla vs Kong my personal favorite of these movies
During the scene where Madison calls Ghidorah at the baseball stadium, there's an easter egg where you hear the electronic roar/noise that King Ghidorah makes in the original older films.
If you ever seen Godzilla 2000 (movie), the radiation pulse has always been his most powerful signature move but usually that requires a ton of energy.
here is something that is rarely talked about, the watch that Serazawa was looking at was thee exact time that the first nuke hit Japan
The excellent score composed and conducted by Bear McCreary's kicks so much ass! His tributes to Akira ifukube(Godzilla's theme) and Yuji Koseki(Mothra's song) are legendary. Also Bear's theme for King Ghidorah is powerful.
Only Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah are old school Godzilla monsters. All the others are original monsters created by Legendary. At the waterfall scene they show an older doctor who is the young Dr Brooks from Kong's movie. Also the twin doctors are an homage to the twin "fairies" from the old Mothra movies. If you watched the closing credits, you see several news stories how the monsters radiation is restoring the planet. If one of the monsters starts getting destructive, Godzilla is there to put them in their place.
I didn't even realize there were twin doctors, lmao, just assumed it was the same person
The build up sound for Godzilla's atomic breath is so cool. I hope someday we will get some interesting lore or screen time on the other kaiju. I really want to see more of Behemoth 40:34
I can never get over the hype we felt seeing Burning Godzilla again. Such an epic moment!
i loved how they ended Serizowa. No time wasted from his character and got straight to the point.
I'm really sad that you guys didn't really like Godzilla (2014), is one of my favorites from the monster verse 😢 the fact that they don't let you see Godzilla all the time made the appearances so much more godly and powerful
Man, I remember seeing the original in the cinema and everybody was muttering about them not showing Big G... until he finally showed up. Such an entrance.
I'm guessing they'd really hate JAWS as well, based on their viewing of GODZILLA. Oh well, can't win em all, right?
@@TheSirUno nah, Jaws did it much better.
@@sampletexttablet8558 The point was that JAWS had less than half the screen time that GODZILLA had, not to mention we didn't even see "Bruce" until well over an hour into the movie. Their complaint was screen time, so that's what I was addressing. *shrug*
Godzilla 2014 is still my favorite of the monsterverse. I love the tone of the movie and the seriousness it had.
This is my FAVORITE MonsterVerse film. GvK is a close second.
Highly recommend watching the old Godzilla films. Specifically the original and the “heise era”. My personal favorite era of Godzilla and they’re all connected
Dr. Russel's plan wasn't diabolical. If you see the end credits, you see news reports of Godzilla restoring marine life and keeping other Titans under control. Another titan, Mammoth restoring forests etc. None of the Titans are attacking humans. So her plan would've actually worked, if not for Gidorah. They didn't account for him being an alien species and not one that is part of the Earth ecosystem like Godzilla and the other titans. Thats why the Oxygen Destroyer doesn't kill him.
this was such a cool movie and if your a godzilla fan like i am and seen the ones from the 50's 60's and 70's ladies & gentlemen you will not be disappointed so worth it to have this on blu ray they went all out such a big budget epic good story i was very much impressed the folks that made this should get some kind of recognition because they deserve it here these monsters from japanese folklore i have enjoyed these movies since i was 10-12 years old such a classic so good such a masterpiece even if your not familiar with the kaiju this was so well made
Human, in EVERY movie with monsters/aliens/undead/whatever... always keep shooting, even when it never works. lol. They definitely did this one right.
If you read the news headlines during the credits you can see how having the Titans awake is affecting the environment.
I saw "Godzilla vs. King Ghidora" twice as a child and was very impressed so I liked this one a lot. I only whished they had given as a bette look on some of the other titans.
You guys are one of the reasons why I have a purpose to live everyday keep up the good work and I can't wait for y'all to watch Godzilla versus Kong much love God bless and stay safe
I watched those really old godzilla movies, the japanese ones, with the guy in the costume, and (again) GODzilla VS KING ghidorah is waaaaaay to crazy, like time travel stuff that makes no sense, so I'm glad they made this one that way, and gave a more reasonable answer to Ghidorah origins.
At 33:06 in the movie they use Godzilla original theme from 1980s -1990s always pretty cool to see that through time and time
A fun fact about the scene of Burning Godzilla: Remember that Mothra sacrificed herself and that kind of glow fell over Godzilla? Well, later when he does the red explosions, the blast shape is Mothra's wings and the sound is her roar. Showing the relationship between King and Queen of the monsters.
This movie was a total roller-coaster when I saw it on the movies and I just love it so much
*Mothra flies straight into Ghidorahs blast
“Mothra can just take it?!”
*Mothra getting absolutely annihilated
Late response, and if any of you see this, you probably by now know all of this. This is my favorite of the movies, because it's loosely based on the original 1964 "Ghirdorah the Three-Headed Monster" which has sentimental value to me. In 1999 (maybe 2000), I was given the VHS for my 9 or 10th birthday from my Great Grandmother (Died 2003) and Great Aunt. I still have the movie to this day. Box is a bit beat up, but it still works.
That is true, Monsterverse are getting better and better. Hoping for the best for GvK 2.
I would LOVE to see a prequel series focusing on the Inner-Earth human civilizations that worship Godzilla and the other Titans
53:37 That kinda happened, an this film GREATLY benefited from the fact that the director was a Godzilla SuperFan
So for some things, Godzilla's red form is known as Burning Godzilla in the original series Burning Godzilla was formed when the Radiation in his body reached critical mass. In this form he not only had a stronger breath attack but his energy was practically erupting from his body. If he was left alone he would've exploded and caused an explosion powerful enough to take the earth with him. So they had to freeze his body to prevent this. Also fun fact in the movie involving Burning Godzilla the Oxygen destroyer was a key plot point as the monster he fought against was born from a unique mutation of the Oxygen destroyer and an ancient life form called Destroyah one of Godzilla's most powerful foes.
Also in the series Mothra is more than just a giant silk worm it is in fact a deity, she is a benevolent and kind being who will gladly aid humans but she cares most for her followers. Twin fairies who serve as the voice of Mothra, Mothra typically after attaining her Imago form will lay an egg ensuring that even should she die there will be another Mothra to take her place. Also yes Mothra are typically all female there was only one male Mothra Mothra Leo who could be considered the most powerful out of all Mothra, Leo literally has the ability to travel through time.
Finally King Ghidorah is a heavily recurring Villain for Godzilla and being one of the few monsters to give Godzilla a real run for his money. Also not sure if you noticed but the Ghidorah heads in this movie have distinct personalities. Finally in terms of numbers there are alot more than just 17 monsters in the old series. In fact the monsters here that are from the old series are only Godzilla, Ghidorah, Kong, Mothra and Rodan the rest of the monsters here are completely brand new.
Great reaction! Can't wait to see your reaction to Godzilla vs Kong! Just want to throw this out there, we are over populated and it has nothing to with space, and everything to do with resources.
"Who needs a King when you have a GOD?"
"What's he smiling for?"
Uh, because it's Mothra?
Not sure if this applies to all the locations but for each of the Monarch location number reflects the year that the monster made its move debut. For Mothra it was outpost 61 and 1961 was when (I think) she first appeared
Ghidra (3head) flew in from space. What's not in space..."AIR"! King Ghidra doesn't need air!!! They knew it, and still detonated the bomb!!!
Also bc it's relevant and those who get the reference
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!
You guys are amazing!!! I'm working my way through all your videos. - i sure hope ppl have voted for Basic with John Travolta and Pacific Rim (to go with your monster series!! 😁😁😁)
