The MG theme is still one of my favorite pieces of G music, but age has dulled most of the rest of the movie for me. The MG suit, even then, seemed bafflingly portly with a pushed-in, puglike face. The Rodan puppet was about as animate as a two-dollar kite, Baby G is an eyebrow-raising smudge of dreck. The film has definitely lost some luster.
One big question I had, even upon its release, is "Why MechaGodzilla?" The original MG had a purpose - the aliens were camouflaging it as the true Godzilla. Kiryu had a logical reason for being, too, since it was constructed around the remains of the original Godzilla. But MGII had no real reason to be what it was, unless you assume that they had to build something that would house the plasma grenade.
I'm not a hero. I'm not a savior. Forget what you know.
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control.
