Godzilla-gala (Part 3)

Okay, let's see if I can pull off an entry with the 2 hour dose of generator power afforded me...
(Thanks, Sandy *finger*)

So...the Millennium series..

...but first...


Godzilla (1998)

The film-

Ka-ka-doodie.

Shiny, arrogant, ka-ka-doodie.

Like "The Phantom Menace".

But, it's okay, the Japanese fixed it later, stay tuned.

The history-

Outraged fanboys almost on the order of "Phantom Menace".
Fuckin' 90's....


Godzilla: The Series (1998)

The show-

Well...they tried to throw us a bone by adding the canon monsters, like Mothra back in.

And...it didn't have Godzuki this time...

Still, Godzilla was pretty much broken.

The history-

Ditto "Godzilla '98".


Godzilla 2000 (1999)

The film-

NOW Millennium series.

So, first order of business of washing The Emmerich Disaster out of everyone's mouths...re-reboot.

So, this series, unlike Showa, and Heisei, doesn't have a continuity, every entry is a mini-reboot.

Hey, kinda like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
*Chuckle*

Anyhoo, here, "Godzilla Raids Again", and "Godzilla 1985", are both ignored, and in this universe, he's been in continuous operation since "Godzilla ('54)".

Saucer-men try to harness Godzilla's healing factor for themselves, and in the process, create an imperfect Godzilla clone, Orga, which Godzilla creams.

The history-

Haven't seen these, sadly, just gonna have to wing it.
The rest are gonna be dittoes, so, screw history.


Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000)

The film-

Godzilla fights an ugly Mothra ripoff, from an egg, from another thing, from a wormhole.

It bombed, even in Japan.


Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: 
Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)

The film-

That's a mouthful of a title, innit?

Title almost says it all, but here, Godzilla's origins have a mystical element, him being the embodiment of the betrayal/rage of ghosts from sunken WWII carriers, thus connecting the series back to its pacifist roots in the first 1954 one.


Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)

The film-

Yet another reboot only acknowledging Godzilla '54.
(So were "Megaguiraus", and "All-Out Attack".)

Here, Mechagodzilla is called "Kiryu", in the film to distinguish it from the 70's, and 90's versions.

Also, "Kiryu", is built around the skeleton of dead-Godzilla from Godzilla '54.

Also, also, it becomes possessed by dead-Godzilla's ghost, which is how it becomes sentient this time around.


Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003)

The film-

A direct sequel to "Against Mechagodzilla", here, Mothra joins the fray.


Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)

The film-

Another reboot after the duology of "Against Mechagodzilla", and "Tokyo S.O.S.".

It's "Destroy All Monsters", all over again, with upgraded versions of...everybody.

The Emmerich Godzilla shows up as "'Zilla", and finally gets punished.
Here's the clip.
Enjoy.




Told you the Japanese fixed it. ;)


Aaand, that's it, no more Godzillas since then.
Poopie!

Whelp, Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman ended with songs, can't leave this one out...





Up next, (hopefully) tonight, King-Kong.
