The rest of the monsters were either okayish or suckish. Also, am I the only the one who prefers showa MG over the heisei counterpart?. Whenever I look at the showa version, it says to me (aleast its face) ''I'm gonna kick your ass'', and when I see Heisei Mechagodzilla, it says to me ''Go, go, go Power Rangers!''. Mothra looked like a plush toy, Ghidorah, while cool, to simple. Rodan, god, how I hated him.
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2003 10:53 pmPosted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 8:38 pmPosted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 8:42 pmI would vote for Mogera. I thought he was a good replacement for MechaGodzilla and anyone who has ever seen The Mysterians would know how awful the original version of him was, so he is by far the most improved kaiju...
Worst revived Kaiju would be KG and Mothra...King Ghidorah looked impressive, but was very weak and lacked the power and killer attitude of the showa version. Kawikata managed to do the impossible and actually make the 90s Mothra look "less realistic" than the 60s versions(not saying the 60s version were bad, but when its the 90s and you manage to make a monster/special effect that looks more fake-looking than one made 30 years before it, now that's BAD. Way too plush and furry...I also wasn't too thrilled with the revived version of Rodan as most fans weren't....

Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 9:03 pmhmmmm, this is a very tough choice to make, heres how I see the choices
KG: he has the original "spirit" of KG with a nice, ferocious, updated design, but he doesn't have that crazy, insane space kaiju look about him that strikes fear into his opponents
Mothra: I didn't like the idea of giving Mothra beams and the more fuzzy look, so shes out IMHO
MG: I liked the design, but in gaining a high tech look, he lost his original meanicing touch, so he's not it...
Mog: I like the design, but...not enough to give him my vote
Baby G: I really like the idea of bringing back a "son" for Godzilla, but I consider Minya a totally different species than Godzilla, a poor sad creature Godzilla found on the island and decided to take care of, so I don't see BabyG as an update
Rodan: another update I was impressed with, just as much as KG, I loved his new design and Angurius-esque attitude
so, Rodan and KG tie for me, both great updates, Ill vote for KG though...
