At a young age most kids are first introduced into the world of Superhumans from the likes of Marvel and DC comics. I however was not one of them, instead of me being introduced to a world full of Superheroes, I was introduced into a world of Titans. And what sparked that interest was the 1993 film we all know and love, Jurassic Park. I loved how massive and realistic these creatures were. This also introduced me into Mythical creatures from the likes of dragons, cryptids like Bigfoot or the Chupacabra and cheap monster movies. One I do remember watching was Dinocroc.
At a young age, most kids are introduced into the world(s) of Superhumans from the likes of Marvel and DC. While I did grow up with superheroes, there was a world that left a much “bigger” impact on my life and still lingers today...the world of Monsters...Behemoths...Giants...[[Titans]]...[[Kaiju]]...take the name as you see. But what sparked my interest in giants actually came from the 1993 film, Jurassic Park. Besides the characters and the story, I love the movie because of its CGI and practical effects, they truly made dinosaurs feel awesome and alive again. I would often spend most weekends on the Syfy channel, watching cheap monster movies like DinoShark, DinoCroc, and even Sharktopus.
 
This also introduced me into the hobby of mythological creatures from the likes of dragons, or any other cryptids such as Bigfoot and the Chupacabra.

I don’t really remember that much from that day (as it was over 14 years ago). My mom came home with 4 specific movies which introduced me into the world of Godzilla. These movies were the following, Mothra Vs Godzilla, Godzilla 2000, GODZILLA (1998) and my all time favourite, Terror Of Mechagodzilla. She assumed I would like them because the covers included a giant dinosaur of some sort. As you can tell I loved them allbut my opinion on some of these films have changed.
I don’t really remember that much from that specific day. But what I do remember is that my mom came home with four movies which introduced me into the world of [[Godzilla]], along with his destructive friends and foes . These movies were: [[Mothra vs. Godzilla]], [[Godzilla 2000: Millennium]], [[Godzilla (1998 film)|GODZILLA (1998)]], and my all-time favourite: [[Terror of Mechagodzilla]]. She assumed that I would show some interest in them because the covers of the movie featured a “giant dinosaur” of some sort. So, I watched all four of those films, and I absolutely loved them. However, my opinion of these films have changed in later years.

Since then, Blockbuster (R.I.P BlockBuster) became my favourite store to visit as they provided many Godzilla films many of which were from the Millennium series (Godzilla Mothra and King Ghidorah Giant Monsters All Out Attack, Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S. and Godzilla Final Wars) and some were from the Showa series (Godzilla Vs The Sea Monster, Godzilla Vs Hedorah, Godzilla Vs Gigan and Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla). I would use these little dinosaurs to act as the monster while playing, I specifically remember using a green Compsognathus to act as Godzilla. One day on Christmas, I received a gift from my aunt, I was honestly surprised when I found out it was a Godzilla figure (Bandai Creations Godzilla 1954 Wave 1 in case your wondering). It was the happiest moment in my life as I had an actual figurine of my favourite hero but that didn’t last long.
Since then, movie stores from the likes of Blockbuster became one of my favourite stores to visit, as they did provide various Godzilla films from the Showa ([[Ebirah, Horror of the Deep]], [[Godzilla vs. Hedorah]], [[Godzilla vs. Gigan]], and [[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla]]) and Millennium series ({[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]], [[Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.]], and [[Godzilla: Final Wars]]). But even time I watch a film, I would always use those tiny plastic dinosaurs to act as the monsters and bash them together as they fight. I specifically remember using a green Compsognathus figure to act as Godzilla, a tiny butterfly figure as [[Mothra]], and a grey pachycephalosaurus as [[Mechagodzilla]]. But one day on Christmas, I received a Bandai Creations Godzilla (1954), which honestly surprised me, because I didn’t know Godzilla figures existed until now
 
It was one of my happiest moments of my childhood, as I had an actual figurine of my childhood hero...but that didn’t last long as I lost it after a few months.

Of course being a Godzilla fan, it did leave me a few options in terms of friends with the same interests, at least where I was. My mom applied for a camp called “Camp Cheerful” and that is where I met my best friend AlphaRper who also had an interest in Godzilla. We spent the whole summer together and we even kept in touch by giving me his moms phone number. We would schedule get togethers from time to time, and my mom became good friends with his mom so my mom got her email address. I even went back next summer however there was sudden rift between us and I don’t even know what caused that. That rift caused us to lose contact with one another for 5 years. This rift also changed my interests entirely, I suddenly wasn’t interested in Godzilla anymore and that gap was slowly filled up with LEGO.

One day, my mom called me down and showed me a trailer and was shocked to see that it for an upcoming American reboot of Godzilla. That reignited my love for Godzilla and that caused me to look for my Godzilla 2004 figure for the next hour and I slowly got into collecting figures eventually getting into the SH Monsterarts line in 2015. Anyways May 16, came around and I came out of the theatre smiling like an idiot. My mom informed me that she had AphaRpers mom’s email address and I could talk to AlphaRper again. We both got Skype and kept in contact ever since.

Since then, I have a huge collection of figures, own almost all the movies and even got into the Ultraman and Gamera series. Personal favourite Gamera film would include Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, as for Ultraman its Ultraman Geed.
Since then, I have a great collection of figures, own almost all the movies and even got into the Ultraman and Gamera series. Personal favourite Gamera film would include Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, as for Ultraman its Ultraman Geed. I’ve been watching so many monster films so much (including the ones you see on SyFy) that I’ve understood and accepted each film despite its flaws, no movie is perfect. Love or hate these films but one thing that we agree on is that giant monsters are f*cking awesome, nothing is going to change that. The G-community is a bit derisive when it comes to “which Godzilla movie is the best” or “which is the strongest incarnation”, honestly I don’t care about that stuff. I have my opinions and they have theirs, so we should respect that.

First, we had the film that started the entire [[MonsterVerse]], [[Godzilla (2014 film)|Godzilla (2014)]]. The film that connected it all, [[Kong: Skull Island| Kong: Skull Island (2017)]]. The film that expanded it all, [[Godzilla: King of the Monsters|Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)]]. And finally, we have the film that almost every Kaiju fan had wanted: a rematch between two of the most iconic movie monsters of all time, The King of the Monsters vs. The Eight Wonder of the World in the form of [[Godzilla vs. Kong|Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)]]! Honestly, when [[Adam Wingard]] was announced as the director for Godzilla vs. Kong, I was a little worried considering he directed that not-so-good live-action adaptation of Death Note on [[Netflix]]. I am happy to say that I am eating my words with a side of fires with it!
Following it’s title to the letter, Godzilla vs. Kong drops all human development and drama for almost non-stop monster action but while keeping an emotional monster-drive to it. The film itself is a Kong story at heart and there are plenty of quiet and sympathetic moments that hit hard and makes you feel for the lovable ape. Godzilla isn’t in this film a lot when compared to Kong, but due to the tone being somewhat similar to the [[Godzilla (1954 film)|1954 film]], he has a constant presence. Not only that, Godzilla vs. Kong returns its main cast of monsters to their original routes but with their own unique spin on it. [[King Kong/Legendary|Kong]] is back to being a more sympathetic character, being more of a man than a beast. While [[Godzilla/Legendary|Godzilla]] is brought back to being an antagonistic destructive force of nature, but while keeping his “not-good-or-evil” characterization consistent throughout the story. [[Mechagodzilla/Legendary|Mechagodzilla]], the films villain is brought back to his original role to frame Godzilla in a bad light just like he did in [[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla|Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)]], and he’s an absolute beast, wiping the floor with Godzilla himself!
The story of the film is divided into two parts that surrounds each monster, ''' Team Kong''' and '''Team Godzilla''' respectively, which do converge multiple times throughout the film. Team Kong’s story stars [[Nathan Lind]] played by [[Alexander Skarsgård]], [[Ilene Andrews]] played by [[Rebecca Hall]], and [[Jia]] played by real life deaf-actress [[Kaylee Hottle]]. This part of the story is described as Kong’s journey and it focuses on massive world building, showcasing the [[Hollow Earth]] in all of it’s glory and it’s both absolutely stunning in the form of its environment that surround it, and terrifying in the form of its monsters that inhabit it. Team Godzilla’s story stars [[Millie Bobby Brown]] reprising her role as [[Madison Russell]], [[Josh Valentine]] played by [[Julian Dennison]], and [[Bernie Hayes]] played by [[Brian Tyree Henry]]. In all honesty, this side story isn’t really the best as its pretty much comic-relief. What it does focus on is why Godzilla is attacking [[Apex Cybernetics|Apex]] facilities across the globe, and it truly got interesting after the introduction of the films villain. Which brings us to the villain part of the story I call '''Team Mechagodzilla''' that stars [[Maia Simmons]] played by [[Eiza Gonzalez]], [[Ren Serizawa]] played by [[Shun Oguri]], and [[Walter Simmons]] played by [[Demian Bichir]]. It surrounds [[Apex Cybernetics]], a research and development facility that was formed to help humanity in the rise of the Titans, only for Godzilla to start attacking various facilities across the globe. But as we dove deeper into the story, we find out that Apex had been designing the ultimate anti-Titan weapon: Mechagodzilla in secret to kill Godzilla and end the reign of all Titans. All of these side story’s somehow clash perfectly, building up towards the multiple confrontations and set pieces Godzilla and Kong have in the second and third acts.
The various set pieces between the films main cast of monsters are amazingly directed. The Tasman Sea isn’t just a mindless action scene with Godzilla tearing through the military fleet like their made of butter. Kong is the clear underdog of this fight, fighting and surviving against a far stronger enemy who has almost every advantage. This creates tension that is almost on par with Jaws, and Kong himself puts up a really good fight and is able to hold his own against Godzilla both on the aircraft carrier and underwater. But ultimately, it wasn’t enough and without the human intervention, Kong would’ve surely drowned. What also makes this scene interesting is it’s display of difference in both monsters, showcasing both their strengths and weaknesses. But the best part was that this was only a small bit that was to come. The Hong Kong battle is easily one of the main highlights of the film and perhaps the MonsterVerse in general. The fight itself is fast and brutal, while also giving both monsters their own time to shine. The entire fight is told from Kong’s point of view, with him putting up a good fight against Godzilla and consistently dodging his atomic breath. Despite it taking place at night, the whole city of Hong Kong is filled with Neon lights similar to Pacific Rim, giving it a more unique feel and not giving it a dull look to it.
But what made the fight so satisfying, was it because it finally gave us a definitive winner after over sixty years. In [[King Kong vs. Godzilla|King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)]], the film endings hasn’t been exactly clear, despite Kong being the only one to rise out of the water. Depending on what source you go by, the ending is rather “Kong won” by the press material or “It’s a draw” by the films creators. To this day, the outcome of King Kong vs. Godzilla is till up for debate! Thankfully however, Godzilla vs. Kong gave us a definitive winner in the form of Godzilla, the undisputed King of the Monsters. But despite Kong losing the title fight, he was treated with respect along with great characterization while also giving him the win against Mechagodzilla, basically winning the movie!
As for the movies flaws……………the human characters weren’t that great, despite the actors doing a really good job at portraying them, especially Jia who is my favourite character of the film. To me at least, I’m okay with it, this is supposed to be a monster-smack down after all. However, the film itself presented wasted opportunities in the form of Ren Serizawa, [[Ishiro Serizawa|Dr. Ishiro Serizawa’s]] son and the ancient war both Godzilla’s ancestors and Kong’s ancestors had. I wished that we saw Ren flushed out a little more, see what truly drives him and how his father’s work truly affected his life. The film mentions an ancient war, but there really isn’t any form of depth to it, not even a single cave painting in the film. We are just left to assume that both species fought against one another due to the numerous axes and the Godzilla floor carving in Kong’s throne room. I’ve heard that there was over five-hours of footage filmed for Godzilla vs. Kong, but I’m guessing that they were cut because some of those scenes might’ve dragged on, but I would’ve loved to see it! It would’ve added additional role and made the characters more interesting. Please release the #WingardCut.

Who Am I?

My Life As A Godzilla Fan

2005

At a young age, most kids are introduced into the world(s) of Superhumans from the likes of Marvel and DC. While I did grow up with superheroes, there was a world that left a much “bigger” impact on my life and still lingers today...the world of Monsters...Behemoths...Giants...Titans...Kaiju...take the name as you see. But what sparked my interest in giants actually came from the 1993 film, Jurassic Park. Besides the characters and the story, I love the movie because of its CGI and practical effects, they truly made dinosaurs feel awesome and alive again. I would often spend most weekends on the Syfy channel, watching cheap monster movies like DinoShark, DinoCroc, and even Sharktopus.

This also introduced me into the hobby of mythological creatures from the likes of dragons, or any other cryptids such as Bigfoot and the Chupacabra.

2006

I don’t really remember that much from that specific day. But what I do remember is that my mom came home with four movies which introduced me into the world of Godzilla, along with his destructive friends and foes . These movies were: Mothra vs. Godzilla, Godzilla 2000: Millennium, GODZILLA (1998), and my all-time favourite: Terror of Mechagodzilla. She assumed that I would show some interest in them because the covers of the movie featured a “giant dinosaur” of some sort. So, I watched all four of those films, and I absolutely loved them. However, my opinion of these films have changed in later years.

2007

Since then, movie stores from the likes of Blockbuster became one of my favourite stores to visit, as they did provide various Godzilla films from the Showa (Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Godzilla vs. Gigan, and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla) and Millennium series ({Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., and Godzilla: Final Wars). But even time I watch a film, I would always use those tiny plastic dinosaurs to act as the monsters and bash them together as they fight. I specifically remember using a green Compsognathus figure to act as Godzilla, a tiny butterfly figure as Mothra, and a grey pachycephalosaurus as Mechagodzilla. But one day on Christmas, I received a Bandai Creations Godzilla (1954), which honestly surprised me, because I didn’t know Godzilla figures existed until now

It was one of my happiest moments of my childhood, as I had an actual figurine of my childhood hero...but that didn’t last long as I lost it after a few months.


2008

In less of a year, I lost the figure. And the thing is, I don’t know where I left it. I was incredibly sad about this but luckily that didn’t last long as my mom got me another Godzilla figure (Bandai Creations Godzilla 2001). I would take that thing in the bathtub with me but the downside of it was that water would get in the figure, so I would have to remove the tail to drain it. It was a pain in the ass to get it back on. But unfortunately I lost it but it didn’t bother me this time. On Christmas Eve my brother got me another Godzilla figure (Bandai Creations Godzilla 2004) and promised myself not to lose it (Funfact: Its still on my shelf to this day but in bad condition).


2009-2010

Of course being a Godzilla fan, it did leave me a few options in terms of friends with the same interests, at least where I was. My mom applied me for a camp called “Camp Cheerful” and that is where I met my best friend AlphaRper who also had an interest in Godzilla. We spent the whole summer together and we even kept in touch by giving me his moms phone number. We would schedule get togethers from time to time, and my mom became good friends with his mom so my mom got her email address. I even went back next summer however there was sudden rift between us and I don’t even know what caused that. That rift caused us to lose contact with one another for 5 years. This rift also changed my interests entirely, I suddenly wasn’t interested in Godzilla anymore and that gap was slowly filled up with LEGO.

2012-2015

One day, my mom called me down and showed me a trailer and was shocked to see that it was for an upcoming American reboot of Godzilla. That reignited my love for Godzilla and that caused me to look for my Godzilla 2004 figure for the next hour and I slowly got into collecting figures eventually getting into the SH Monsterarts line in 2015. Anyways May 16, came around and I came out of the theatre smiling like an idiot. My mom informed me that she had AphaRpers mom’s email address and I could talk to AlphaRper again. We both got Skype and kept in contact ever since.

2017-2018

It wasn’t long before I would see AlphaRper in person again as we both planned to go to Chicago for G-Fext XXIV and it was an amazing time. We both met one of the Directors (Shinji Higuchi) of Shin Godzilla and got my Shin Godzilla figures tag signed by him. And Alpha did the same. I even went back next year for G-Fests 25th anniversary and got my Hedorah figure signed by Kenpachiro Satsuma but this time Alpha couldn’t make it.

2019

Since then, I have a great collection of figures, own almost all the movies and even got into the Ultraman and Gamera series. Personal favourite Gamera film would include Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, as for Ultraman its Ultraman Geed. I’ve been watching so many monster films so much (including the ones you see on SyFy) that I’ve understood and accepted each film despite its flaws, no movie is perfect. Love or hate these films but one thing that we agree on is that giant monsters are f*cking awesome, nothing is going to change that. The G-community is a bit derisive when it comes to “which Godzilla movie is the best” or “which is the strongest incarnation”, honestly I don’t care about that stuff. I have my opinions and they have theirs, so we should respect that.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

7.9/10

First, we had the film that started the entire MonsterVerse, Godzilla (2014). The film that connected it all, Kong: Skull Island (2017). The film that expanded it all, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). And finally, we have the film that almost every Kaiju fan had wanted: a rematch between two of the most iconic movie monsters of all time, The King of the Monsters vs. The Eight Wonder of the World in the form of Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)! Honestly, when Adam Wingard was announced as the director for Godzilla vs. Kong, I was a little worried considering he directed that not-so-good live-action adaptation of Death Note on Netflix. I am happy to say that I am eating my words with a side of fires with it!

Following it’s title to the letter, Godzilla vs. Kong drops all human development and drama for almost non-stop monster action but while keeping an emotional monster-drive to it. The film itself is a Kong story at heart and there are plenty of quiet and sympathetic moments that hit hard and makes you feel for the lovable ape. Godzilla isn’t in this film a lot when compared to Kong, but due to the tone being somewhat similar to the 1954 film, he has a constant presence. Not only that, Godzilla vs. Kong returns its main cast of monsters to their original routes but with their own unique spin on it. Kong is back to being a more sympathetic character, being more of a man than a beast. While Godzilla is brought back to being an antagonistic destructive force of nature, but while keeping his “not-good-or-evil” characterization consistent throughout the story. Mechagodzilla, the films villain is brought back to his original role to frame Godzilla in a bad light just like he did in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), and he’s an absolute beast, wiping the floor with Godzilla himself!

The story of the film is divided into two parts that surrounds each monster, Team Kong and Team Godzilla respectively, which do converge multiple times throughout the film. Team Kong’s story stars Nathan Lind played by Alexander Skarsgård, Ilene Andrews played by Rebecca Hall, and Jia played by real life deaf-actress Kaylee Hottle. This part of the story is described as Kong’s journey and it focuses on massive world building, showcasing the Hollow Earth in all of it’s glory and it’s both absolutely stunning in the form of its environment that surround it, and terrifying in the form of its monsters that inhabit it. Team Godzilla’s story stars Millie Bobby Brown reprising her role as Madison Russell, Josh Valentine played by Julian Dennison, and Bernie Hayes played by Brian Tyree Henry. In all honesty, this side story isn’t really the best as its pretty much comic-relief. What it does focus on is why Godzilla is attacking Apex facilities across the globe, and it truly got interesting after the introduction of the films villain. Which brings us to the villain part of the story I call Team Mechagodzilla that stars Maia Simmons played by Eiza Gonzalez, Ren Serizawa played by Shun Oguri, and Walter Simmons played by Demian Bichir. It surrounds Apex Cybernetics, a research and development facility that was formed to help humanity in the rise of the Titans, only for Godzilla to start attacking various facilities across the globe. But as we dove deeper into the story, we find out that Apex had been designing the ultimate anti-Titan weapon: Mechagodzilla in secret to kill Godzilla and end the reign of all Titans. All of these side story’s somehow clash perfectly, building up towards the multiple confrontations and set pieces Godzilla and Kong have in the second and third acts.

The various set pieces between the films main cast of monsters are amazingly directed. The Tasman Sea isn’t just a mindless action scene with Godzilla tearing through the military fleet like their made of butter. Kong is the clear underdog of this fight, fighting and surviving against a far stronger enemy who has almost every advantage. This creates tension that is almost on par with Jaws, and Kong himself puts up a really good fight and is able to hold his own against Godzilla both on the aircraft carrier and underwater. But ultimately, it wasn’t enough and without the human intervention, Kong would’ve surely drowned. What also makes this scene interesting is it’s display of difference in both monsters, showcasing both their strengths and weaknesses. But the best part was that this was only a small bit that was to come. The Hong Kong battle is easily one of the main highlights of the film and perhaps the MonsterVerse in general. The fight itself is fast and brutal, while also giving both monsters their own time to shine. The entire fight is told from Kong’s point of view, with him putting up a good fight against Godzilla and consistently dodging his atomic breath. Despite it taking place at night, the whole city of Hong Kong is filled with Neon lights similar to Pacific Rim, giving it a more unique feel and not giving it a dull look to it.

But what made the fight so satisfying, was it because it finally gave us a definitive winner after over sixty years. In King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), the film endings hasn’t been exactly clear, despite Kong being the only one to rise out of the water. Depending on what source you go by, the ending is rather “Kong won” by the press material or “It’s a draw” by the films creators. To this day, the outcome of King Kong vs. Godzilla is till up for debate! Thankfully however, Godzilla vs. Kong gave us a definitive winner in the form of Godzilla, the undisputed King of the Monsters. But despite Kong losing the title fight, he was treated with respect along with great characterization while also giving him the win against Mechagodzilla, basically winning the movie!

As for the movies flaws……………the human characters weren’t that great, despite the actors doing a really good job at portraying them, especially Jia who is my favourite character of the film. To me at least, I’m okay with it, this is supposed to be a monster-smack down after all. However, the film itself presented wasted opportunities in the form of Ren Serizawa, Dr. Ishiro Serizawa’s son and the ancient war both Godzilla’s ancestors and Kong’s ancestors had. I wished that we saw Ren flushed out a little more, see what truly drives him and how his father’s work truly affected his life. The film mentions an ancient war, but there really isn’t any form of depth to it, not even a single cave painting in the film. We are just left to assume that both species fought against one another due to the numerous axes and the Godzilla floor carving in Kong’s throne room. I’ve heard that there was over five-hours of footage filmed for Godzilla vs. Kong, but I’m guessing that they were cut because some of those scenes might’ve dragged on, but I would’ve loved to see it! It would’ve added additional role and made the characters more interesting. Please release the #WingardCut.
