Hideaki Anno’s Shin Godzilla Strikes Back pitch being a love letter to the Champion Festival + Godzilla vs Evangelion: The Real 4-D being Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster with Shinji, Asuka, and Rei playing the parts of Rodan and Mothra, complete with Godzilla playing a “hero’s” role despite the sheer Shin Godzilla™ of him, it just gets me thinking.
For all Shingoji (obviously) approaches Shodaigoji (and the maquette), the slow sweeping tail of King Kong vs Godzilla, and the sinister zombie lumber of Mothra vs Godzilla and 1984, along with the darker and grim energy of Godzilla as a horribly burned and disfigured mutant...
... there’s still so much of the 60s + 70s “begrudging good guy” and kid’s superhero Godzillas in the design? Daisensogoji’s blobby, earless crust of a head, the gnarled teeth. Soshingekigoji’s long neck, bell-shaped body, furrowed brow. Megarogoji’s ‘75 side profile, the dorsal arrangement. The jaws, the faces, the noses!
All the NGE tie-in merch, games, rides, and the current Shin Japanese Heroes Universe nonsense all frame Shin Godzilla in that begrudging hero role, in a hilariously deranged contrast with his horrifying nature and apocalyptic existence. And the more I think about it, while we sit in fannish imaginings of the Fifth Form swarming, further horror and The End of Evangelion-styled nightmares set to Ifukube tracks, I think Anno’s “Champion Festival” sequel really would’ve been that same deranged joke? Especially with Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Ultraman energy, the delight and self-aware handling of Tokusatsu as its most gleeful, cranked up, gigglingly unhinged.
Shin Godzilla, world-devastating ecological disaster, twitching and brimming with horrors beyond our comprehension (Hiromi Ogashira comprehends them, but we would die) simultaneously walking into Invasion of Astro Monster, Ebirah, Godzilla vs. Hedorah. Shin Godzilla vs Gigan complete with peacefully returning to the ocean, boiling it as he goes.
You know, the threat of further evolutions constantly hanging overhead, further countdowns to UN attacks, all while beam spamming with The Real 4-D’s “Shin Ghidorah.” TriStar’s Godzilla 2000 dub “Then why does he keep protecting us/Maybe because Godzilla’s inside each of us” set to the most horrific horizon-splitting back laser combo move you can fucking imagine. I’d like it.

The MegaroGoji suit always reminds me of a dog with floppy jowls so I drew a Goji with jowls to see what that might actually look like. As a treat

Kaiju Week in Review (June 18-24, 2023)
The big news of the week, of course, was Netflix finally releasing Skull Island, the first new Monsterverse story in over two years. It's a surprisingly standalone piece, with no Monarch and minimal references to Kong: Skull Island, and going off his Twitter, creator Brian Duffield largely prefers to let the work speak for itself. I have quibbles with some of the creature designs—not enough florafauna!—and the characters can be too flippant about their life-threatening circumstances, but overall I had a good time. Annie's a great character—think Saeko from Son of Godzilla as a bloodthirsty teenager—and the obligatory Titan nemesis is a cut above most of the Monsterverse's original creatures.
As for its future, Season 2 is already written and recorded, but won't happen unless Netflix sees big enough viewing numbers for Season 1. I'm frustrated by that, especially given how many loose ends the season finale had, but it's pretty typical stuff from the company.
Dismal news about the American Shin Ultraman Blu-ray/DVD from Cleopatra Entertainment: they didn't bother to include translations for the ample on-screen Japanese text. That was enough for me to cancel my preorder; I tend to be pretty tolerant of the various unforced errors by the companies releasing this stuff, but that level of laziness (the translations already exist!) just renders the discs pointless in my eyes.
Toho is crowdfunding another Showa suit replica for a character's 50th anniversary this year... Jet Jaguar! If successful (or semi-successful, like last year's Gigan campaign), it'll feature in a new short film to premiere on November 3, as has been tradition since 2020. Interesting that they went for Jet Jaguar over Megalon; I suppose he'd be cheaper to produce, and the largest film studio in Japan seems hellbent on hamstringing these wonderful little shorts.
Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons #1 is out. Hard to judge it so far as it's mostly setup.
In other news related to Godzilla vs. Megalon's 50th, Bandai will release a Movie Monster Series figure of the 1973 Godzilla (MegaroGoji) on July 28 as a Godzilla Store exclusive. Pretty big news, as they've only released figures of the tweaked '74 and '75 suits previously, and those were back in 2003 and 2004, respectively. NECA didn't get to this one either.

I’m really curious what your favorite Godzilla suit/design is so far 😃
i had to look these up to remind me what went where & to learn what they are all called and wow i love fandom, i have so much information now <3. ok. i'm still mourning the ears from the OG (& imo the fins looked the best there too) but i'm going w Soshingekigoji as the sweet spot between the relatively grounded menace of Musogoji and the like hapless muppet of Daisensogoji or Megarogoji
this is not the most illustrative gif but i like that he looks like he's bowling
also not super illustrative but makes me think about what if i went to prom with Godzilla

Naruto characters as Godzilla designs Part 1/2
1. ShodaiGoji - Tobirama Big bad and needs to be stopped, like, right now
2. GyakushuGoji - Kakashi Depressed and tries very hard, in need of a thousand year nap
3. KingGoji - Deidara A Fucker who would throw you into the ocean and then laugh when you die
4. MosuGoji - Temari Will not be intimidated. Immune to insults and comes up with the best comebacks
5. SanDaiKaijuGoji - Hashirama Just wants a little peace and quiet but everyone decides it’s War Time so shit here we go again
6. DaisensoGoji - Maito Gai Would travel to the moon to kick ass, show no mercy, and then do a little victory dance just for your entertainment
7. NankaiGoji - Suigetsu Has probably fought a giant crab. Just wants to stay hydrated
8. MusukoGoji - Jiraya Would abandon a kid to teach it a lesson, and then kick it when it comes back, but still defend it from Bad Guys and act as the Hero
9. SoshingekiGoji - Yamato Already worn out and tired and would like to quit his job but everyone finds him so goddamn useful. Has probably done a lot of drugs in the 70′s
10. MegaroGoji - Sakura Strong as Fuck, and would come up with a choreography to match the song that plays when she’s kicking your ass
11. MekaGoji - Tenten Underestimated. Can bend metal with her bare hands
12. 84Goji - Tsunade Big Strong and fed up with other people’s mistakes. Will threaten those who want to bond over the Good Old Times. No-one tells her what to do
13. BioGoji - Kankuro Sticks and stones may break my bones but poison will surely kill me
14. GhidoGoji - Obito Angry and bitter, won’t die no matter how hard you try.
Part 2
