It really is weird that Criterion would put the 2002 Godzilla from Godzilla x Mechagodzilla on the packaging for Godzilla (1954). Remember when Mill Creek's first Gamera 3 cover had an image of the 1995 Guardian of the Universe suit? Remember when ADV released Destroy All Monsters with art that depicted Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah as their Heisei incarnations? Design choices like that don't make or break a release, but they don't make sense.

Toho wouldn't let Media Blasters use the Champion Matsuri Festival poster for the Destroy All Monsters cover, but somehow they didn't take issue with an anachronism like this? Then again, they provided Media Blasters with art for Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster to use as a temp image for DAM, so I guess this makes sense.

I'm still very excited about what's sure to be one of the all-time best stateside Godzilla DVD releases.

I'm not very nitpicky when it comes to this type of stuff but for some reason this sort of bugs me. It just seems like a cool idea that they dropped the ball on.

How cool would the pop up be if they had used the famous publicity shot of Godzilla with the train in his mouth instead?

This in no way affects my purchasing of this obviously awesome package, but it is very odd indeed, especially from Criterion...

It is really cool that Criterion got an Eisner Award winning comic artist to do the artwork.


-and what do they get for it? Heartache!

That's CHUD spinning the mocking posts of fans on Criterion's FB page... It's more in the manner of Riffing on this rather than Torch-wielding Villagers wanting to kill the proverbial monster. :)
