Godzilla is a fictional monster, or kaiju, that debuted in the eponymous 1954 film, directed and cowritten by Ishirō Honda. The character has since become an international pop culture icon, appearing in various media: 33 Japanese films produced by Toho Co., Ltd., five American films, and numerous video games, novels, comic books, and television shows. Godzilla has been dubbed the King of the Monsters, an epithet first used in Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956), the American localization of the 1954 film.

Another thing I should mention is that the American military wanted to nuke all three monsters in Godzilla 2014. The only reason why they didn't was because the Muto stole the already activated bomb.
Edit: I got mentioned in the Doktor Skipper Wikitubia page! Huge W!
ever since Minus One came out these fake ass godzilla fans been ridiculing MV and they think they know everything about godzilla because they seen Minus One
@@clappin8241 Skipper did his research and watched the movies though.
The best thing about Monsterverse, is the fact that it introduced a new generation of kids to Godzilla.
It benefits Japan to have Monsterverse doing well, if that wasn't the case, I doubt Minus One would have had the success it is enjoying now.
I have enjoyed both versions of Godzilla, as they have presented something interesting about our favourite atomic lizard.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. this man has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT he’s talking about.
And You literally spoke all the thoughts straight from my head. Shame on that clueless pelican
@@clappin8241Ikr
“Godzilla is an American superhero” *proceeds to conveniently forget Godzilla flooded Hawaii and drowned hundreds of people and rammed into the Golden Gate Bridge in the same movie*
As much as i don't like some of the episodes of Monarch even there they don't portray him as a fun guy to be around, the g-day flashbacks were literally so grounded and dark, it legit shows people got severe trauma because of him.
I mean he even mentions the Monarch series but he didn't even acknowledge that.
The reason why Godzilla was killing people is because he was scared
@@Baxtin-zd6lfWhere in the nine circles of Hell did you get the idea that "Godzilla was scared"? This ain't 1998, bud.
@@Baxtin-zd6lf You're confusing Godzilla with the Cloverfield monster. Godzilla was killing people because he just didn't give a shit
The fact that in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, kids also get killed during the Golden Gate bridge scene shows hor dark a tragedy can be.
I love how the entire Fan Base teamed up on Doktor Skipper Destroy All Monsters style
It's always nice when fans will recreate their favorite moments in the media they like
Doktor Skipper: Talks sh*t about Godzilla franchise with bad evidence.
Entire Godzilla Fanbase: *Goku Prowler Meme*
I'm pretty sure even people who don't like the Monsterverse hate this video.
Same with that one guy who gave a bad review of Minus One (what's his name again?)
@@goblinslayertf2 😕
The great thing about Godzilla is that he's an everything character. He can be a hero, villain, simple animal, cartoon character, or supernatural horror and it all works. Anyone trying to say Godzilla can only be one thing just doesn't understand the character.
Indeed
And true fans love it all
Except Minilla. All my homies hate Minilla
@@normalhuman9878Gabara forever
GABARA IS BAD@@NoxFlex
@@NoxFlex Gabara needs a second chance fr. If they ever bring Godzilla Jr into the MV they could actually make Gabera a genuine threat.
It's really funny how he brags about how much he's researched Godzilla but gets so much wrong.
Sometimes people want dramatic political commentary movies but sometimes people also just want to watch two giant kaiju fight and destroy stuff and they can BOTH be popular
Research? Bruh, he said Godzilla is public domain in the US. From what I understand, the *original film* won't even enter public domain until the late 2040's/50's. Even if that ends up being true, expect Toho to fight tooth and nail to keep the Big G for themselves.
They're in the running with Disney and Nintendo for the title of most overprotective IP owner.
@@Scotttjt I didn’t even realize he said that until you mentioned that
The man was not talking about what people like or dislike about godzilla, he was talking about how the original politic message of the 54 film does not work as an american blockbuster, simple as that. The new godzilla movies are fun blockbusters because thats their purpose, they dont intend to have the same impact or message as the more dramatic films. Yes both types of movies can be popular, everyone has they're tastes. But Skipper is not wrong either
Now i will go a play some godzilla save the earth
You can also make a movie with both things, but that requires effort
you know something is wrong when toho and even the director of minus one showed more respect for the monsterverse than half of the character's fanbase.
Oh, really, I don't know. That amazing!
Lmao and made a much better movie that captured the essence of the character than that of what Toho or the MonsterVerse has decades ago.
@@justaguyonyoutube4592 you genuinely, and I mean truly, have no idea what you’re talking about. Minus One really captures the essence of the original godzilla movie, but over the past *seventy* years godzilla has become so much more. He originally started out as a physical representation of Japans fear of the nuclear bomb and a manifestation of their trauma, and over time he’s become a national hero, an antihero, a representation of nuclear energy which now fuels their nation, a comedic villain, a regular animal etc etc. Saying “captured the essence of his character” is a completely braindead take, that or you’ve quite literally only seen Godzilla 2014 and Godzilla Minus One, not a single other movie, and have watched opinion videos similar to Doktor Skiper’s
@@justaguyonyoutube4592 that "essence" you're talking about is most likely just your interpretation of a character that keeps changing depending on what story the movie is trying to tell
You should've said "origins" instead
@@k0metz590
Lmao I meant on what the character was ORIGINALLY about before he was ultimately ruined by the greed of needy shareholders who love to ruin everything they get their slimy little fingers on.
I like how when he said Godzilla is public domain in America when movie reviewers get flagged by toho for “copyright infringement” lol
“Godzilla is in the public domain.”
I think Brandon Tenold and his entire Godzilla review playlist would like to have a word with you… just a quick one…
@@jacksonhopp2003 exactly
@@90zillas34
It’s legit so fucking bad that Brandon had to make his Godzilla vs Gigan and Godzilla vs Mothra (the Showa one) Patreon exclusive videos.
Oh, and let’s not forget that literally the only way you can watch all 3 of the Japanese Godzilla sagas is by pirating them. No joke.
@@jacksonhopp2003 Internet Archive actually has a pretty good selection of almost all Godzilla films; easily accessible if anyone is curious.
Mental illness. That guy need to socialize IRL
"godzilla running is unrealistic and how dare godzilla be pink?"
godzilla before: literally flies using his atomic breath and was purple collors of purple and pink during shin and millennium
Which makes me believe he didn't watch those films at all. He probably only watches Gojira, Godzilla Minus one, and the entire Monsterverse movie.
Don’t forget that millennium Godzilla body slammed megaguris in “Godzilla vs Megaguris”
@@F1_ferrari2004actually, it was goofier, it was the majestic “gravity defying dropkick”
Not to mention, the go-go-godzilla slide kick
*Godzilla dancing appears*
It's triggering that he forgets the Heisei and Millennium films while using footage from those movies (He also forgot Shin Godzilla while using footage from that movie as well.)
Seriously?
Guy is clearly the most extreme casual you’ll ever see. Only knows the Showa era.
Is that the time where he's like a superhero?
@@BlazydayZyes, both
I bet he doesn't even know the director of Godzilla minis one is actually a big fan of the American Godzilla movies
Yeah most of japanese like Legendary Godzilla
@@gojiralegendary4009even Toho (the owner of Godzilla) gave a big thumbs up and green light for more future projects as long Legendary respect the name Godzilla and its terms.
I swear the director of minus one (I can’t spell his name) would be a dictator in one of the next MV movies because he’s a HUGE MV supporter but probably not though
A lot of the Monsterverse haters don't know how much involved TOHO is with Legendary creating the Monsterverse,giving the greenlights and approval.
@@Sgt.Dornan117 true. I love the MV but they need to understand that Legendary need to make deals with Toho. So far we saw Big G, Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan and Mechagodzilla. This 5 are Toho owns it. Legendary really need more financial if they plan to get Jet Jaguar, King Cesear, Biollante or Space Godzilla.
I’m glad the community is coming together on this. Misinformation is something we can’t have be spread around by people who know nothing about what they’re talking about.
The fact he managed to unite a whole fan base in the midst of a civil war is crazy
Yeah.
MonsterVerse Godzilla isn't a hero or villain. He's an animal/monster. The king of the monsters tries to protect his home/kingdom. We just view MonsterVerse Godzilla as their protector, and he strongly dislikes humans but rather acknowledges humans.
He’s not a animal “he knows what he’s doing”
@pjpugapillar6292 I know that, but in the 2014 film, they referred Godzilla to as "animal."
@@IanDanielCassidy ok I forgot I should rewatch King Kong skull island and godzilla 2014 because I forgot what happens in those ones
@@Antiownerguy6292 OK then
I think he's more of an anti hero
Saying America ruined Godzilla is pretty funny considering Godzilla would not exist without America.
Jaw dropping
Tha-that's actually true.
I mean its true..Japan literally getting bombed to shit eventually led to Godzilla..
@@UNSTABLE111Godzilla, while in part created by the bombings, was actually a result of the Castle Bravo disaster, being that it reignited that Japanese trauma.
The Land of the Rising Sun really did like them cause they had three over their land once.
I mean yeah but I don't think a bombing should count as a positive
Anyone that says America ruined Godzilla is coping too hard off their elitist juice.
Honestly I absolutely adore the monsterverse, it’s so great
Mv is nothing to Toho ngl. I love mv but they ruined it tho. Godzilla fan for 7 years so I don't want anyone telling me I dk shit
There’s a place for both silly buddy cop ass movies and serious allegorical tales.
Anybody who says one or the other doesn’t belong isn’t a true fan of Godzilla. Plain and simple.
@@TurdDinnerTurdDinner112 How did they ruin it?
Or not an MV fanboy
Edit: Sorry I just hate MV fanboys
"I don't like Godzilla"
*makes a whole ass video essay about godzilla*
( . ----------- .)
Lol the video is critical about the mv and only really positive about m1. My dad liked m1 but he’s not a Godzilla fan, what’s your point?
The point is if you don’t like a character/don’t know much about it don’t try to act like an authority figure that spreads a bunch misinformation to spread of a narrative that’s basically of America bad Japan good. With basically misinterpreting a whole movie as a American propaganda
@@damonke7674 As blorbot already said, don't put out a whole ass video essay what is/isn't good for godzilla in general when you clearly are not that invested in the franchise.
Make a video why you liked minus one or something.
But spare us your bad takes and save everyone, including yourself the time.
@@damonke7674... don't act like you know what Godzilla is, has been, or supposed to be, simple.
@@blorbotheidiot5233 fair, I guess I misinterpreted his comment
I'm from Brazil, and some channels here seem to have acted similar to Doktor Skipper when Minus One launched. It's a shame that a good film like Minus One generated fake fans
I just find out that some of Brazilian Godzilla fans is either don't have brain or stubborn
I remember had very long debate against kong fans who stubborn thinking kong wins against Godzilla and his name is Pedro
Also I see dude named Gomez who agree with all dr skipper opinion
Why y'all Brazilian fans act like this?? Is this your tradition??
Not gonna lie. When I watched the video for the first time, I noticed he didn't research the topic. He missed out on so many key moments in the Godzilla franchise and blamed the goody nature of the Monsterverse on the US. Yes, the Monsterverse is goofy, no one can't deny that. But it is clearly a love letter to those old 60's Godzilla movies. And it's ok to have a cool Godzilla that fights monsters. Most of us G-fans, fell in love with the character when we were kids watching Godzilla fight his enemies (Myself included). The older I've gotten, the more I have appreciated and loved Godzilla. He's a character that grows alongside you. I bet you a million dollars that the director of Godzilla: Minus One, grew up with Godzilla the same way we all did. And the older he got, the more appreciation he had for Godzilla.
The mv isn’t a love letter for anything, it exists because of MONEY
@@damonke7674 it’s true, but so was the Showa era lol. Toho was like, “jet jaguar movie?!” No! Add Godzilla in there and make him the title character”.
@@damonke7674 A movie... made to make money????? What a concept. Glad you realized, its never too late
@@simplegeneral5688 A movie can be made as a criticism of something or a warning about something or a million different things. The mv is pretty much just a bunch of cashgrab flicks
@@damonke7674
All movies are in some way, made to make money. And guess what? Toho has made Godzilla movies as cash grabs. Late Showa and a couple Millennium movies are 100% cash grabs.
To be fair, the monsterverse actually DOES have meaning. Based mostly off of KOTM, Godzilla is representative of the hope humanity has against it’s own destruction through global warming, although it is lost to a degree in that movie. Every godzilla has a meaning and represents something, which is what makes him beautiful as a character and a franchise
I argue he's more of a representative of nature and how nature can fix it's own problems and we don't have to intervene which is a lesson everyone has to learn
Don't fight Godzilla
Don't fight who he's fighting
As the saying from 2014 goes "let them fight"
Skipper's comment about the US military was also kind of befuddling. While I won't pretend like there isn't any military industrial complex propaganda in Hollywood films, I barely seen any in the Monsterverse.
9 times out of 10, the US military is presented as a bunch of bumbling idiots that just get in Godzilla's way and make things worse.
At best, they occasionally irritate or distract the antagonist Kaiju, usually getting decimated in the process. Which, by the way, is exactly what happened to the Japanese military in the original films!
Uhhh duuuhhhh. They're idiots to use soldiers instead of teenagers in mechas.
Skipper talks like those dudes who criticize the writing in COD after watching an essay on Spec Ops: The line.
@@massgunner4152 he actually made a review calling MW2's campaign "gutless" because it wasn't brutal and edgy enough lmao
Idk why that person would make a video about Godzilla if he doesn’t even like Godzilla
Facts
Seems like he's just trying to divide people. A bunch of fake fans came out of the woodwork after Minus One just to use it as a way to crap on the Monsterverse and other movies they don't like.
Trying to ride the hype train from Minus one since every RUclipsr that wasn’t an already established Godzilla channel was coming out and talking about the legacy of Godzilla and its film history
Also not saying someone can’t do that but it definitely felt a little trend chasey that everyone was doing complete recaps on Godzilla right around the time of minus one’s peak hype train
Bro is like Godzilla 98’s director
I feel like the guy hasn't even watched the monsterverse movies.. like even in 2014 the military were still wearily of Godzilla and it kinda shows in Godzilla king of the monsters where the military went as far as to use the oxygen destroyer on him and king Ghidorah.
Either way legendary Godzilla is meant to keep balance of the earth making sure the other titans don't cause havoc on the planet, if humanity choose to attack him then that's really on humanity choice.
He mentions that on the video tho
In 2014, he's not a king. He's an animal hunting his prey, the muto. 2019 changed him completely.
@@Uulfinn 2014 is the best of the American movies, hes not some protector of the natural order, just a very destructive and indiferente animal fighting for food, a f you want a guardian then you have Kong
@@nunocampea2395 i would agree. 2014 is my favorite of the american godzilla movies.
@@nunocampea2395 no, godzilla can be a guardian of nature too, if you don’t like that then you don’t like the mv
I don't support gatekeeping, but casuals like skipper who are clearly not fans of godzilla (both before and possibly after seeing minus 1) acting like they know the entire franchise/character based off minus 1 and gojira alone (while simultaneously ignoring the rest of the franchise) make it so easy to possibly gatekeep them or tell them how flawed their logic is. It's fine for casuals to like minus 1 but i hate how it brought out people trying to act like they know godzilla's character better than fans do.
It's arguably more annoying than toho purist knowing godzilla is a versatile character but insisting only Japan should do godzilla despite toho was open to Hollywood doing godzilla at any given opportunity since 1983
Toho squad is infinite times better than American version but I don't mind legendary as long as they don't do anything to damage godzilla
@@Lordzilla This isn't a competition between toho or legendary, toho isn't better or worst than legendary when legendary is doing what toho already did
@@Kaiju-bm4tsExactly, I don't understand why can't have both?
I'm enjoying myself very much right now as a lifelong Godzilla fan.
Considering how ass some Japanese Godzilla movies are, I’d see why they want to ignore em😅
@@damonke7674 You ain't wrong.
But with a franchise that been around this long, we gon' have to take some ass every once and a while LOL
We all know Godzilla Minus One is pretty obviously amazing, but just because it’s one of, if not the best Godzilla movie overall never meant Godzilla won’t work in other remasters. You made a ton of good points in this video, and it’s a shame to see other people like this crap on the American movies when each movie is targeted towards different audiences. It’s nice to see someone defending the American movies and less serious and dark movies, because all Godzilla movies are good in their own way.
You can’t go wrong with giant monsters
One of the things that made me dislike minus one. the overhyping and the increase in toxicity and hypocrisy.
No, not all godzilla movies are good in their own way or worth watching. There are bad godzilla movies.
@@carloseduardocastelandaluz560 one of the things that made you dislike minus one was well written human characters?
And the hypocrite fanboys crap at monsterverse as if movies like Son of godzilla or the movie where minilla speaks were masterpieces.@@Uulfinn
Pretty funny how he sees godzilla protecting himself from his parasitic enemies and he just assumes he wanted to save humanity
Lesson of the video, never argue with basement dwellers that own 50+ Godzilla figures
Damn right
Us no lifers will destroy all of our enemies!!!!
We stand for what we believe in.
Fr fr
I think he is not basement dwellers but misunderstood about Godzilla
God I’m so glad people are crapping on him.
I’ve seen all live action Godzilla movies. And the MV hate is completely unjustified and hypocritical. People who hate on it only bring up Shin Godzilla, the original, and Minus One. They completely forget that the MV takes a lot of elements from the Showa and Heisei era. And that Toho themselves have done so many different things with the character. MV has brought in so many new fans to the franchise (including myself), while paying respects to the IP and the character. What more could you ask for from Godzilla movies?
I come to see giant monsters fighting. I get giant monsters fighting. Those people gotta realize not everyone wants giant lizard with laser breath to be a political commentary or a poetic masterpiece of fiction
damn bro is getting mad over a opinion. I AM aware of his wrong doings in the video, but he’s explaining why he feels it doesn’t work. You guys are being hypocritical. If he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, that’s fine, just ignore him.
Lmao don’t even DARE try to make the MV sound better than ACTUAL good movies.
It’s not unjustified and hypocritical more than it’s understandable.
Godzilla is nothing but a byproduct of consumerism at this point.
Like the equivalent of jingling your keys in front of a baby to calm them down.

Fun fact.
It's very possible to enjoy both Toho and Legendary films.
I’m soo happy u brought up how versatile Godzilla is cause that’s what I’ve been saying countless times. We all know the MV isn’t perfect and has problems that need to be fixed but Godzilla doesn’t have to have a serious tone every single time. If it did that for 70 years it was just get stale so it’s nice that the franchise has actual variety. It’s not perfect but it’s not bad and it’s still enjoyable.
This is the reason that godzilla has lasted so long imo
It’s 69
@@Scarletthespudexactly dude cause the franchise has variety. That’s why each era is unique and distinct from each other
@@Nightlizard1564 yeah
EXACTLY. There’s literally only like 4 or 5 godzilla movies that actually have a dark and serious tone.
The ONLY reason people hate the MV because it wasn’t made by TOHO which is the dumbest reason to hate a series.
Fax
If toho made those movies, they would be the most hyped thing in history lol
Fr 💀
Do I am the only one who merges the Legendary movies (even the ‘98 movie) with their respective eras? (Example: I consider Godzilla 2014 to be part and quite much the beginning of the Reiwa era, I know that officially it’s not like that and I get it, the merging I do is mostly on my own part).
2014 was amazing with excellent marketing and the movie had soul with great eye candy
2019 was amazing action a downgrade from 2014s more narrative story but the action more than makes up for it
2024 was badly written but the monsters carry the movie from mediocre to an ok movie
I personally dislike 2024
I love 2019 and 2014 and don't see how somebody could truly hate these
Gxk: TNE is gonna be one of those times where legendary Godzilla is taken on a fun adventure in the land of monsters….which toho has done before.
Not just that, but is also the biggest history ever create where Godzilla (Japan) and Kong (America) came together and team up for the first time rather than fighting rivals, they are allies.
God it’s so funny seeing people hate the monsterverse for things toho has already done YEARS ago 😂
He probably thought Godzilla was in the public domain in the US because you can find most of the old movies for free online here
Good video! Glad to see someone who actually understands the franchise talk about Godzilla. Minus One has brought out a lot of fake fans
Being a fan of good movies, I’ll still take Minus One and Shin Godzilla.
Exactly! It makes me sick how some people can claim to be fans yet know nothing about the character.
“fans” are clowning on gxk because of minus one lol
@@Roblooz in their defense, GxK does look mid. Sure, it’ll be fun, but not a good movie.
@@joshmcdonald1510 I mean, the OG character is basically a toho only.
Some video essayists just don’t deserve a platform, frankly.
It's really telling that he hates Godzilla when he gets all of his facts just straight up wrong.
It's just funny to see that after Godzilla: Minus One released, people are now saying that Monsterverse sucks.
Let's to honest godzilla 2014 the first monsterverse movie is successful get over 529 million USD
You came, you Saw, you KICKED His Ass!
I see Dr Skippers points about Godzilla - originally an allegory for nuclear power and the danger and destruction that can come with it - and how he's been turned into a "Hero for kids". But. That's okay. Media evolves like Super Mando says. He's grown past his original reason for being and can be a vessel for many other stories
Glad you understand franchise and BigG him, because some people don't really understand about Godzilla at all. Like it took me years to understand him and watch all his older movies (from Showa era to Millennium era).
I don’t think people know that Godzilla now is intentionally a force of nature keeping anything that tries to disagree with Godzilla will face their doom but stand down and know their place in the food chain then they will live
You have no idea how much I appreciate this video!! Seeing all these fake fans rally up following minus one who have no idea what the franchise is about, solely supporting the serious stuff while dismissing the goofy stuff and the American stuff solely for what they are at a grossly perceived face value is exactly what’s wrong with most of the newer members of the community at the moment, just a group of *Astro-Monsters* who’re *Invading* the community following Minus One and think they know what’s what when they don’t know anything at all…
This comes from someone who now considers Minus One his favourite movie of all time and Final Wars his second favourite! (Yes, Really! I’m a sucker for both ends of the big g) *Godzilla can, has, and forever will be anything and everything that we need him to be, never just one thing. RESPECT THE GOOFY!!* :D
Anyways I’m hella hyped for GxK, I wanna see my big lizard boy and big monke boy kick some ass together! Anyone else?
I love all the Godzilla movies and I can't wait for GxK!
My Boy if you watched the video you would have know that he speaks more about the original Godzilla instead of Minus one
What's funny. Some of them also purposely ignored how Minus One director and Japanese also liking the MV so much, those people just want to hate for no reason
@@nunocampea2395 hey dummy, minus one is the reason the video was made, stop denying it and stop siding with him
2:15 I always hear those people in these videos “I watched Godzilla vs Kong when I was a kid” it’s literally eternal loop
i just know that skippers read a wiki page and regurgitated it to sound like he know what he's talking about to justify his opinion on big lizard stomp building movie. i also absolutely despise when movie reviews just describe what happens in the movie, make a quick incorrect judgement that is disproven later in the film and then not address a criticism that doesn't exist. which is 90% of movie review youtubers nowadays.
awesome work.
If find it friggin hilarious that 90% of said reviewers will usually throw crap at Doug Walker for his style of reviews just being whiny nitpicking recaps of the movie. That either misinterpret plot points, or just flat out get details wrong.
Even though that’s exactly what they do!
I'm largely on the outside, my first experience of Godzilla was morning TV where he was literally a button-press win in every situation. And as for Godzuki? Well, less said the better. It wasn't till later I learned the larger context of the character, though I am by no stretch 'well-versed'.
But _that's_ the thing. To me, Godzilla is a brand, you could get away with 'Godzilla on Ice', even in Japan, because the character can, indeed, be what you want it to be, depending on the audience, Godzilla can be everything from a kids party mascot to terrifying blood-vomiting monstrosity.
And for Godzilla, that's a really really good thing, as you say that flexibility is what has helped the character survive for nearly three quarters of a century.
Bro, Godzilla being public domain?
They gotta pay for a separate contract just to use any individual monster: It's not just not public domain, it's hyper regulated, and since 1999 Toho has become protective of their brand.
That is a wild take
But you know who actually is public domain King Kong. But only because of a loop hole that the film’s novelization is public domain but not the actual film. But Universal is super protective of for that reason and will shut down any project fearing King if they deem it ‘infringing on their IP’. It’s part of the reason Kong is only referred to as Kong in the monsterverse
I saw the title of Skippers' video and thought it was going to be horribly wrong but good Godzilla is he getting so much stuff wrong it almost feels deliberate like there's a punchline at the end where he reveals he was just goofing off the whole time. I hate it when people come off like they're experts on something and its painfully obvious they do not know what they are talking about. Good job covering this guy's terrible video.
Godzilla works on every country. Period.
Minus One earned 95.2 Million Pesos (around 5 millions USD) in Mexico.
Bro was yapping the entire video like he was onto something
To clarify, in regards to japanese ip, something becomes public domain 70 years after the creator has died.
3 people, tomoyuki Tanaka, Eiji tsuburaya, and ishiro Honda are credited as the creators of godzilla. The last of the 3 died in 97, meaning godzilla won't become public domain until 2067.
Dude this is a much better video than the original. Better editing, well researched and well presented! nice!
i always love when youtubers use other peoples arguments against themselves.
at the end
"research things yourself" really backfired against him
I’m pretty sure Godzilla fans worldwide are just happy they get movies.
I’m a thirty two year old from England, I’ve loved Godzilla since around the age of eight.
Granted the first American attempt at Godzilla wasn’t anything great but the Monsterverse is so fun! I remember when I was younger I’d be embarrassed to like Godzilla like it was a guilty pleasure but now it’s cool to.
The franchise weather in Japan or in the States is great right now!
In my head Godzilla is an actor, he can play any role the storyteller asks him to & he does it well 😊
Godzilla can be anything if it's properly executed. Godzilla is not always serious bruh
2:24 I’d argue nearly the opposite. The story they had with Godzilla and the prime minister still hits to this day. Goofy parts of heisei are spacegodzilla and mothra. But I still get your point.
It's mostly the time travel aspect of it that makes me consider it the goofiest movie of the Heisei era
I think the pink is a reference to Godzilla in “Godzilla VS Megaguirus”
To answer your question, Firewood Media in his video clarified that only ONE SINGULAR image of Godzilla is public domain, and that's where him saying it is public domain came from.
Fantastic well researched and well-edited video. It really shows how much you love Godzilla overall. Keep up the great work.
bro who let this guy cook 💀
I don’t know what made that guy think Godzilla is in the public domain just because he’s appearing in some American produced films. Legendary has an established contract with Toho that allows Godzilla to be used by Legendary in their MonsterVerse films and graphic novels
I can only assume based of how copyright is meant to expire after a certain amount of time. But it’s not as simple as that because sometimes it’s ONLY character/film that’s public domain. Look at steamboat Willie only that version of Micky is public domain. Or an example within Kaiju genre, King Kong himself is public domain but not his original film.
US copyright laws are complicated, and international ones are even more so.
Great Video! The end got me, where he states to research the things you watch, but clearly he forgot to do so himself xD
I love the energy of the american godzilla movies, they remind me of the older movies with goofy action and awesome fights
Most people that dislike the monster verse know nothing about Godzilla. I saw someone say, "they're humanizing Godzilla". Did they miss when Godzilla would do Judo throws, dance, and shake hands? 😂
YES! THANK YOU!!!!!! I'M NOT ALONE WHEN I NOTICE RUclips REVIEWS TEAR DOWN THE OTHER GODZILLA FILMS TO PROP UP MINUS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I just had so much pent up tension after seeing some many reviews that do that. Again, thank you. And subscribed.
Great summary of what everyone in his comments were retaliating with. The thing that irks me the most is that he said he hates Godzilla, so why make a video on something he doesn't care about to begin with? The whole thing crumbled from there.
Some notes- the reason Godzilla went from a terrifying monster to a heroic monster has more to do with its director Ichiro Honda. He has stated, numerous times, that when he saw that Godzill was becoming more popular for children was to purposefully tone down the scarrier elements to keep the charactrr friendly to the children, but also maintaining a more adult storyline in the human side of the story. If course it was all cheesy fun, but there is some serious talent behind the camera and in the writing, even at its Showa era silliest.
Godzilla didnt have much competition from TV until the mod to late 60's when Ultra Q, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider became popular. In fact the studio that made the Ultra series was founded by Eiji Tsubariya, who got his start in special effects working with Honda on films prior to Godzilla (Gojora).
Toho as a studio in the 50's thru the 70's was far more well known for making serious samurai dramas and light hearted comedies. The kaiju and Godzilla films were popular, but they were far down the rankings in terms of numbers compared to their other films. It was mostly the love producer Tomoyuki Tanaka and Ichiro Honda had for sci fi and monster films in general that kept them being made. Believe it or not, Godzilla movies were originally seen as almost being protest movies and very much a part of a counter culture movement in Japan than mainstream movies.
Big Action Bill here on RUclips has an excellent break down history of each Godzilla movie and I highly recommend his videos if you really want to learn about the entire Godzilla franchise.
Thanks for the info, I always consider the mid to late 60s to be the goofiest in terms of showa era movies.
@SuperMandoLive very much so! I love that Godzilla just as much as the monster in -1. I think my favorite Godzilla films are the Millennium films, but to be honest, I'm more of a Gamera fan at heart. Great video response man, keep it up.
Lovely video.
Short, concise, organized, and CALM. Skippers video was way too frantic for me to even digest what was happening. Although I do believe a small core of that video was right, it's so overshadowed by so much false information. Bless you.
There’s no such thing as the “Original Godzilla essence” imo
Each Gman incarnation has its own take
That’s what has kept the franchise we all love alive
Its ways to reinvent and adapt
I think its more like that theres no such thing as "a real godzilla" all iterations are equally good. There is still an original cause theres a start to everything
Finally, someone with an IQ
Skipper unintentionally said "he doesnt stand for America so he doesnt stand for anything."
Wait i just realised you only have 1000 subscribers, i thought you had atleast 100k with this editing! New sub for you & awesome vid
This video is amazing finally someone calls this dudes video out for misinformation and a lot of other things.
Holy shit! Those clips brained my damage!🤕
Great response to his video. I'll gladly drop a like on this one.
the funniest thing he claims is that godzilla is public domain in the US, but that was only when godzilla vs megalon accidentally went public domain before being resuited to copyright by toho and the law.
godzilla doesn't even go public domain by the first film (1954) until 2050 roughly.
It's amazing how someone can do so much research, and get so much wrong. Astounding.
As an enjoyer of all American Godzilla I’m glad you pointed out this man’s BS
Skipper also said that Harry O’hoyt’s creation of The Lost World inspired Willis O’Brien to make King Kong when O’Brien himself did the stop motion for The Lost World. He really got so much information wrong.
I would also like to point out that MV Godzilla is NOT the “protector of humanity” like so many people are saying, he is the protector of EARTH and if humanity gets in his way he wouldn’t hesitate to kill us
He isn’t teaming up with us in those movies, we are teaming up with him
Just like they said
“You want to make Godzilla our first pet?” “No we would be his”
Hey old godzilla fan here. i dont like he just cherry picking and dont know history, making up history of godzilla. Wtf this man thinking while making the video ?
Probably just wants clicks since he admits he doesn't like godzilla. Saying that American godzilla is basically a hero, even though in godzilla 2014, godzilla king of the monsters, and godzilla vs kong shows that humanity want to destroy him.
I should've did a double take when he said "I personally don't like Godzilla" when I watched that video. Honestly 90% of it was just Doktor Skipper droning on and on about "America Bad! MIC bad! War bad" like it was just a bunch of redundant "iam14andthisisdeep" truisms that can be applied to literally anything.
Yet for some reason he found it profound just because it has to do with the US, completely ignoring the fact that every Godzilla movie/series doesn't need to have "deep social commentary."
If it was public domain, Kaiju Universe wouldn’t have gotten taken down
“GoDzIlA iS pInK nOw, He IsNt CoOl AnYmOrE”
-average “og” godzilla fan
Millenium godzilla:
Well thats a first
“GoDzIlLa Is RuNnInG ToO FaSt So It’S BaD AnD UnReAlIsTic”
Meanwhile Godzilla: I never was realistic
“America ruins godzilla” Stfu
Doktor Skipper needs to understand that without the monsterverse then Godzilla wouldn't have continued after 2004.
@@uhh345 fr
@@uhh345Yea the Monsterverse literally revived the Godzilla franchise. And didn't Toho say Godzilla final wars (2004) was gonna be the final Godzilla film?
Can we just enjoy both? It's really crazy that we're getting so much Godzilla content. And i love it!!!
this title seems like one of those "how to trigger a fanbase with one sentence" 💀
@@Ad1tputra Definitely, the success of the 2014 film saved the character from oblivion and is literally the reason why Shin Godzilla and Minus One exist today.
Couldn’t say anything better
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of Dr Skipper’s video from Twitter and here and I think that’s enough of that video to show me how bad it is.
I think it’s weird that he tries to claim that the American Godzilla doesn’t represent anything when the whole film had all these themes about the arrogance of mankind, and that the whole point was that Godzilla represented the balance of nature. Godzilla‘s whole role in the film was to restore balance, whenever humanity disrupted it.
As bullshit as his take was, I found the whole, "Japanese threat that attacks Hawaii gets killed by a walking nuke" sentence morbidly funny.
It's weird how skipper can be wrong about literally 98% of the stuff but I can't stand the monsterverse so i might agree with him on them being bad
Don’t forget the best Godzilla movie Godzilla versus destroyer. This movie is the best kaiju movie I have ever seen.
The public domain thing is a specific image of godzilla from the 1954 version, where they just didn't renew it for some reason. So, one specific still frame image from the og 1954 godzilla is public domain.
Just discovered your channel! Thank you for calling him out! It makes me sick how some people, like him, can claim to be a fan, but don't know anything about the character or acknowledge that we, the fans, are now in a new Golden Age of Godzilla! Getting content from both Toho & Legendary means that the G-Fans win! At the end of the day I would much rather get more Godzilla content instead of the crap Disney has spewed out with both MARVEL & Star Wars in recent years!
I love Legendary Godzilla and I love Minus One, I just love Kaiju and monsters in media in general
Well put and enjoyable.
Those takes were wild, almost comes off as intentional but... probably not lol. Nice collection you got behind you!
Is that a Biollante plush in the background? If so, where do you get that.
I love Legendary Godzilla. And hes not an American superhero, he represents Balance of nature, According to Dr. Serizawa, who is an international hero!
Can’t believe the Godzilla community is debunking the nonsense video, I use to watch that RUclipsr too but now it kind of seems like he’s just not doing proper research for videos
There's really only one reason I watch Godzilla movies. For a giant overpowered radioactive lizard to beat the snot out of whatever monster in his path. That's mostly it. If the story is good, then that's another reason to stay, but its mostly the kaiju fights. I know, I am very simple.
