SHIN GODZILLA (Atomic Menace, Evolution + Ending) EXPLAINED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2023
- The 2016 Japanese kaiju film, "Shin Godzilla" marked a significant addition to the Godzilla franchise. Directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, with a screenplay by Anno and visual effects by Higuchi, the film was produced by Toho Pictures and Cine Bazar. Distributed by Toho, it is the 31st instalment in the Godzilla series, the 29th produced by Toho, and represents Toho's third reboot of the franchise. It also has the distinction of being the first film in the franchise's Reiwa era.
Starring Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi, and Satomi Ishihara, it revolves around government officials grappling with chaos descending upon the country following the emergence of a colossal monster, dubbed Godzilla.
In this iteration "Shin Godzilla," retains its iconic portrayal as a massive prehistoric reptilian kaiju. However, this version stands apart due to its extraordinarily advanced physiology.
This is attributed to Godzilla possessing a significant leap in genetic complexity. Originally a member of an unspecified prehistoric sea creature species, closely related to marine reptiles from the Paleozoic Era, this genetic richness is key to explaining Godzilla's evolutionary trajectory. Over time, the monster undergoes a number of transformations, progressively adopting a more reptilian appearance through multiple distinct forms to adapt to its new environment and threats, each of which will be explored throughout the video.

Hey Guys, this is a reupload. The original cut of the Shin Godzilla video that I released two weeks ago was blocked by Toho before everyone had a chance to watch it. Had to make significant cuts and alterations unfortunately, but Toho are pretty notorious for this, so I just wanted to ensure you could all at least see a version of the video. Hoping this stays up! Cheers and Have a Happy new year! :)
Ugh that annoying... Toho. It's an explaining video. Not a movie upload
I don’t get why many Japanese companies love to do constant take downs. No one is more notorious for this than Nintendo, & it’s sad to hear that Toho isn’t much different.
That sucks. It's literally a video explaining about this and that
That's super lame. Unnecessary Litigiousness looks very bad on entertainment companies. Especially videos like this that are WELL within the bounds of fair use, and in fact go way overboard on being transformative.
If twitchers can basically just restream shows with essentially no commentary, then your style of conscientious editing is absolutely above scrutiny
Thank you! I was like “ WTF swore i saw this before”. Still going to watch, Keep it up
As much as I love Legendary Godzillas power-up noise and atomic breath, Shin Godzilla's atomic breath is just terrifyingly beautiful.
This movie depicts the scariest version of God Zilla imo. The constant evolution of the creature, with the humanoids growing from his body, was icing on the cake
Agreed. Try telling that to countless RUclipsrs that try dismiss Shin Godzilla.
Once mankind ever has to deal with a deadly creature capably of evolving and changing its own DNA at will to become more destructive; we’re lowkey doomed. Thats the scary thing about Shin, is despite being in the modern era we’re just as powerless to stop him as the characters were in Minus One
@@stevenbruno7710I hope evolution speeds up for this to happen. Humans need to go and become dust at this point.
I like how the creature screams in pain while its body mutates faster than it can tolerate (his weight is crushing its bones and its gills are filled with blood because the creature is not submerged anymore)
The fact that this thing was in constant pain and confusion while it was wreaking absolute havoc was such an interesting depiction of the Gojira
@@brandenapexo604it kind of makes sense, in a way. It’s just.. suffering. Everything’s attacking it, it can’t feel anything other than pain and constant evolution and rearranging of its cells and mass.
Really horrific, kind of sympathetic. Very interesting take, indeed
By far the most beautiful atomic breath. Minus One is a really close position!
Love that scene when he unleashes that purple beam even like the background music.
Yeah it is soooo epic!
There is a version on YT with the background music removed, and its just as terrifying if not more in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out
Well, that's crazy: a film that gives the spectacle that its audience wants so much. And currently, so few deliver.
Shin Godzilla is the most terrifying iteration of Godzilla. It is an uncaring force of Nature. If it had been allowed to continue to evolve, it would have become completely unstoppable. It's a truly horrifying nightmare.
Thank you Nyat, and Happy New Year! 🎉
It was allowed to continue to evolve. We just didn't see it in a sequel.
Everything about this Godzilla is beautifully horrifying.
Toho thought that hiring a man who directing evangelion is a great thing which it is until he present a more grosteque and the most horrifying movie ending (and possibly a sequel). Bringing "…monsters are not born, they're made" to both new level.
A reupload?
That's ok.
It's still an impressive kaiju body horror film.
I wish they had made a sequel.
Yes thats right Shaine, and me too mate!
Toho isn’t known for making very many true sequels to Godzilla films most are stand alone
I hope this one stays up too. I genuinely thoroughly enjoy your critics and breakdowns, more so than any other review channel.
Happy New Year if this is the last one for 2023!
How did this not get a sequel. As much as minus one is good and the legendary series is also good, I’m disappointed that a movie so poignant and well done can just get thrown aside.
I mean, it works really well as a stand alone film.
Normalize stand-alone films that aren't ruined by cashgrab sequels
Thanks for posting this, really great vid!
Great review of a Great Movie, thanks!
I love everything you do please never stop
I just watched it last night so this was perfect timing!
Shame to hear about the edits you had to do you've still done some quality work covering this 👌👌
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe and Happy New Year 🕛🎊😊
Being Bombed by 2 Nukes is bound to create many interpretations of the devastation
Well I'm glad I caught the original upload too
Shin Godzilla was great. Hideaki Anno reused a lot of elements like music from his Evangelion films. Wish it would have a good quality dub to match the quality of the film.
Godzilla minus one is an amazing good movie and i can't recommend it enough. Though the movie has a lot of allegory, its 9/10. ^_^
I literally just finished this movie for the first time and loved it
I love this movie to death. I cant explain it lmao, its up there with minus one and i genuinely have a hard time deciding which one i like more.
5:29 I just love the Japenglish words used on Kyoko's resume.
This was pretty interesting
It’s mind blowing how many godzilla movies there are.
I’m glad I caught it before it got taken down!!!
I thought this video seemed familiar. It doesn't matter, I will re-watch to continue my support of your channel. I have enjoyed your videos for years, especially the SCP content.
I appreciate that
Here to like it again
I love shin Godzilla
Love the video can you do tasi from amnesia ❤
"I see a flaw in this plan."
such a good film.
My goat!!!! Shin is my absolute favorite goji so far, it just bleeds eva and i loooove that. I think the ending should have just gone full out having goji evolve into something divine. A downer ending similar to end of eva would have been peak. Excited to watch this vid!
Wow, that was alot of destructive freetime for Shin godzilla
I still want to find the end credits music FCE always uses at the end.
Great vid, shame about having to recut the original, guess it highlights different countries take on this type of analysis.
I look forward to your Godzilla Minus One vid, which is a brilliant re-interpretation of the franchise imo.
This and Minus One are arguably my favorite Godzilla designs since the Heisei era. This one is so unique, I'm glad they tried something different and it paid off.
Minus One is smaller, and more reminiscent of the classic designs, and might just be my all-time favorite Godzilla look ever.
Godzilla's Minus One atomic breath is powerful enough to contaminate a city with radiation.
Can 100% see evangelion connections. Like when he uses his atomic breath. That high pitch noise
Godzilla: Minus One is the best Godzilla film of all time...BUT...Shin Godzilla is my favorite incarnation OF Godzilla of all time...straight up NIGHTMARE FUEL 😳
This movie has the best score
It would fascinating to see how the approach would change considering the very different geopolitical situation than in 2016.
Hey Niyat I’d like to ask you a question, at the beginning of the video I heard a slavic war drum music, and thought it sounded really cool what’s the name of it, and is it available on Epidemic sound?
Godzilla is
Genuinely terrifying to me
Explore The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
Minus One was so good. But I have to say, I really wish we could have seen where this idea was going. But hey, we had to wait a long time for the Rebuild of Evangelion. Maybe someday.
Monsterverse Godzilla = best Godzilla. It's not even close.
Given the body horror of Godzilla, it’s no wonder there’s a connection to Neon Genesis…
Th godzilla curse strikes again on niyat
Hey FilmComicsExplained do (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) story+ending explained.
It'd be great if you could possibly Godzilla Singular Point eventually, especially given the strong influence of Shin Godzilla on it
Easily my number 2 most op Godzilla just under the 3d anime Godzilla
Japan has endured a lot of catastrophes and yet remains one of the richest countries on this planet.
💪❤️
Why did you re-upload this video again
Hi
Godzilla God of destruction
8:26 the man in the photo on the right was not a victim of an atomic bomb, he was a slave from Louisiana known as "Whipped Peter". Those scars aren't from radiation, they're from a whip, and that photo is from 1863, 80 odd years before the invention of the atomic bomb.
Please do better to get your information right.
Rezpload because stupid Copyright? No problem, I just watch it again!
Please do Assassin's creed movie 2016
“Invoking the imagery of atomic bomb scars” shows picture of an American slave before the civil war
Just a quick note : the photo you showed of atomic bomb victims. One of the photos is actually a slave with scar from the whips used to beat him.
….. Not a huge deal
i know that minus one has an impressive atomic breath, but I maintain that shin’s is way more devastating
Cell Max took inspiration from this one.
this is the only thing I like about Shin his nuke breath, not fancying the dorsal and tail lasers.
Now that I have seen Godzilla Minus 1, I still think Shin Godzilla is more terrifying.
8:24 One is from nukes and one is from slavery.
21 minute video and you didnt talk about Gozillas shins at all! :(
*"There was once an ugly barnacle, he was so ugly that everyone died, the end"*
-Patrick Star
I’m sorry but Shin Godzilla > Godzilla Minus One
Bruh 😂 that's a wild claim
Since WW2, Japan’s military no longer goes overseas to fight wars of conquest and instead exists to fight Godzilla…😂
Why is it a godzilla? With so many godzilla look alike with different names
I like to think we're all just highly evolved little godzillas
20:21 Covering Godzilla Minus One next week
Me: He already covered that last week didn’t he?
(sees that the video is a reupload)
Oh Right👀
Im Sorry but his fish eyes look silly and take away all of his terror 😂
Biggest part of this film was mocking the inefficiency of red tape society , esp w regards to how badly fukushima was handled. maybe this is left out of the dub you watched?
I’m curious about those creatures that were coming out of Godzilla tail
I'm thinking Godzillas body feeling the attacks from us little people and being surrounded by extremely small targets that are a bit difficult to get all at once, forced the evolution of them. A defense mechanism of sorts.
@@TJB-qn5fy interesting 👍
it suffers the same problem all the other huge monster movies have
That is?
Long Live The King!
Ah yes the slow wheels of bureaucracy
Who could win the fight Godzilla minus one or Shin Godzilla.
Isn’t the scarred back of the man on the right from being whipped during slavery? Guy on the left definitely looks burned though
Isn't this the story of Godzilla Minus One? Am I crazy?
The story for Godzilla Minus One pays more tribute to the original Godzilla movie. Shin Godzilla is more of a modern take where he is mutated by nuclear waste in the ocean.
@@KingXJAnon Makes so much sense. Thank you
people are praising minus one and rightfully so, but Shin takes the cake, to me is far more entertaining and Godzilla is more terrifying.
No wonder Shin Godzilla was messed up and over powered, The maker of Evangelion was his maker! That mofo have created messedup angles in his anime. Damn thing was emaculate
What if new godzilla is pink bc he gonna bust out the shin godzilla heat ray? I'd lose my shit
I swear the scene with large quantities of blood gushing from its gills made me sick to my stomach.
Wait Shin is a prequel to minus 1? And that God awful Netflix series were they fly off to space and return to a mountain size godzilla
Image on the right at 8:25 is not of an atomic bomb victim. That's a survivor of US slavery.
Should have been called Godzilla 682.
Godzilla means incarnation of god. But gojira isn’t that a whale something?
Not to be that guy, but it should be noted that most instances of the use of the word “evolve” or “evolution” in this video should be replaced with “metamorphose” and “metamorphosis”.
Individuals don’t evolve. A change in personal physiology during an organisms lifetime is not evolution. Caterpillars do not evolve into butterflies, nor tadpoles into frogs.
The way it opens its mouth. It reminds me of an anaconda, which makes it all the more scary to me. 😱
Unhinged his jaw for defense instead of food lol
Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One are why I have a hard time watching the Godzilla from the Monsterverse
True
Ok so……ugh, I just want to say that I am fully aware that no matter how I say it, somebody is just going to think I’m being a bit of a douche &/or take offense somehow but here goes it…..
I can’t, I just freaking can’t! Idk why but I swear that I tried with this one, but the experience ended with me coming away from it, feeling the exact same way as I always do when I watch stuff with tons of “practical effects” that are so obviously “practical effects”. That feeling is one of total frustration with my brain!
Which has the unfortunate inability to not get wholly and irreversibly taken completely out of whatever world/atmosphere that the movie/show has been building up to the point!🤦♀️ and it is almost impossible for my brain to get back into it. So that immersion gets shut off for a long time at best…and never at worst.
Cause ffs It’s really frustrating sometimes🤦♀️🤷♀️and believe me, I wish I could turn that part of my brain off oss 😅 I mean like seriously tho…the moment that there’s a scene where it’s super obvious that the Godzilla model is a puppet &/or suit oss……my brain just legitimately goes…NOPE, that’s ridiculous looking and swiftly proceeds to check out ffs!😤🤷♀️😅 so I just don’t even bother to watch most stuff that are new or old that heavily feature/featured such things/scenes
So……thanks for posting this so that I can hear all about it minus the frustration 😅😉👍
Gojira minus one isn't as good as Shin Gojira
Personally i do not like this version of godzilla. The Godzilla from minus one and the monsterverse are much better in my opinion.
Damn this is just in time to review Godzilla Minus One in _seven years_
See y'all there!
You do realise I already covered Godzilla minus one last week? haha
Oof. Lol
