It might have been this weird movie called "Gargantua."
I don't remember a lot, other than it airing on Televicentro.
A VHS copy of "Godzilla, King of the Monsters," which I picked up at a local thrift store
oddly enough because I recognized Raymond Burr.
Not counting the 2005 King Kong remake,
"Godzilla vs. Destoroyah" was the very first Godzilla and kaiju movie that I saw in full.
The first kaiju film that I watched was the "GODZILLA" film, by TriStar.
As for the first Japanese giant monster film I watched, it was "King Kong vs. Godzilla."
The 1998 American film, if you want to count that.
Otherwise, my first proper Godzilla film was probably "Godzilla 2000: Millennium."
1998 GODZILLA Taco Bell toys.
The Godzilla 2004 Bandai Creation figure,
although I might have had the Pack of Destruction and Destroy All Monsters Melee before that.
The chibi female M.U.T.O. figurine.
A 1992 Bandai Godzilla figure.
A few VHS's of both Showa and Heisei films alike.
"Godzilla vs. Gamera."
That, or a big budget Godzilla x Gamera x Kong x Ultraman fighting game,
with lots of famous monsters and one with better controls or online than the PS4 game.
Just so it gets better reception in the U.S.
If I had the ability to make a fully-licensed Toho film,
I would probably push for "Hedorah vs. Midora."
Maybe a third Hedorah movie.
Make a nice Hedorah trilogy.
That, or a Guyferd movie.
Godzilla vs. Ultraman.
I'd also really love to see a Godzilla vs. Evangelion movie, after being teased with the merchandise.
For a new television series that brings back/modernizes Toho's lost television series, "Assault! Human!!"
As a huge fan of Toho's various TV series over the years,
I definitely have to go with a "Zone Fighter" film, with Godzilla, Gigan, King Ghidorah, and all,
and maybe even some Final Wars-esque reboots of the original monsters.
What are your hopes for Godzilla: King of the Monsters?
I really just want it to be entertaining and memorable.
Godzilla 2014 did its job,
made people take Godzilla seriously again,
but it could have been so much more.
My hopes for Godzilla: King of the Monsters are that
the 1959 monster turns out to be Anguirus,
or just
any kind of Anguirus reference in general.
More interesting human characters and definitely more kaiju action and real fights, over kaiju teases.
I would also love to see some time set aside for each of the specific kaiju to get to know them better.
A much better balance between human scenes and kaiju scenes.
It would be nice if they stick with the monsters for more than two minutes at a time.
As cliché an opinion as it may be,
my main hopes for the new MonsterVerse films are definitely more focus on the monster action,
as that's something I felt the first film shied away from,
and more intriguing characters to contribute to the storyline.
Overall, I definitely felt the 2014 film was easily forgettable,
and I can only hope that this is improved upon within the coming entry.
What kaiju do you really like that seems to get overlooked by everyone in the fandom?
Kamoebas.
Poor Kamoebas only gets used as a thing to be killed and dumped as a corpse somewhere else to rot.
He needs more love.
Oh, and Skeleturtle.
The kaiju that I like the most is probably Anguirus,
but as for overlooked media in general, I'm gonna go with Guyferd.
I freaking love that show, and I would greatly appreciate it if Toho acknowledged its existence.
Bottom line, I just—
more Guyferd please.
Keizer Ghidorah, since the four-legged Ghidorahs never seem to get as much love as the other Ghidorahs.
I also chose Gorosaurus, since he's fairly powerful for being such a pure kaiju.
Anything from "Assault! Human!!,"
Go! Godman,
Go! Greenman,
and Zone Fighter.
The television monsters are among the most varied collection of kaiju in Toho's library,
and it's a real shame how little of them is seen nowadays.
My go-to for favorites is always Greenman,
as you may have been able to tell already.
Otherwise, I'd have to say maybe Varan or Monster X.
