      @Byron Kelly Lol yea and it gets absolutely ridiculous once you actually think about, Superman One Million, Galactus, Beyonder, One Above All, Beerus, and need I go on?
      Personally though if we look at all his feats Godzilla has done (examples: taking on a black hole, killing Greek Gods, surviving Hell, surviving a volcano, swim under the Earth's mantle, destroying a asteroid/meteor, lifting several monsters weighing much more his size, surviving his own weakness to the Oxygen Destroyer, getting dropped from the Troposphere, and etc) I would say he's right in the middle somewhere.

      Fun fact! Originally This theme *wasn't* intended for Godzilla. In the original movie, it was the theme of the self defense forces and emergency workers who were desperately trying to save Tokyo from Godzilla. The rapid and orderly nature of the theme was meant to convey how they heroically did their duty despite near certain death.
      The next time this theme was played was Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975). This was the 15th and last Showa era film for Godzilla and by this point the character had become a fully fledged hero, so the heroic nature of the theme was passed on to Godzilla to convey his own heroic resistance against Mechagodzilla, Titanosaurus, and the Blackhole Aliens.
      By the time the Heisei movies came about, the theme was resurrected because Toho felt that the films would do better if some of the original creators of Godzilla contributed to their making. This included Akira Ifukube, the original composer for the Godzilla series, who's theme is obviously what you're hearing now. By this point, Godzilla was the anti-hero, a ferocious beast of nature, so Ifukube created a new version of the theme that was more 'brutal' for Heisei Godzilla.
      By this point, in the heisei films, as well as the later Millenium and Legendary/ Reiwa films, this particular theme had become synonymous with Godzilla. Just as he embodies various different roles from hero, villain, or anti-hero, so to does the theme embody these roles, evolving right along with him.

I saw Godzilla 2000 in theaters but they had given that new theme and you only heard it just before the credits rolled. Then, in 2019, alone at an early showing in a almost empty theater on opening day of KOTM, when I heard the original roar followed by this as the big king made his way into Boston........ I started to laugh, smile, cry, cheer and applauded all at once. 30 years of waiting and I got my moment all thanks to Mr. McCreary, and I'll forever be grateful for that moment.

  • @nem3732

    The thing that I like about the traditional Godzilla theme is that it sounds like an impending disaster waiting to happen. There is nothing stopping Godzilla from destroying everything in his path and we as humans can do nothing but watch. But Bear Mcreary was able to do something special and new to it. While still keeping elements of that danger present in his theme, he also included chanting and has a more faster tone. It sounds a lot more heroic than previous versions which is fitting for the Monsterverse Godzilla. It presents Godzilla in a way to be looked upon in awe and more as a natural disaster than an impending doom. I hope they bring Bear Mcreary back for the future films.
