Let's Watch Wednesdays is about ANY AND ALL tokusatsu. If it's Godzilla it has to be a specific movie. And it has to follow all of the same rules outlined in the first post, it has to be fully subbed, preferably easily available so we don't exclude people as well. Godzilla is a trickier one than some of these other choices though. The movies aren't as readily available for stream and torrent as your more common toku shows are.

And joke or not, just cut out the attitude.

Would only one movie be allowed or could we watch multiple movies that follow a clear continuity?

One. Again, Godzilla movies are primarily licensed in the west. Making it harder to actually view them without owning them. And it's illegal to download them like we do with the average toku fansubs. Tokunation in no way condones the ripping/streaming/torrenting of licensed material such as that.

If you want to nominate a single move that's fine but Godzilla, while it's on the table, isn't always a viable option.

Bummer. Oh well.

The bright side of being limited to a single film is that it's over so quickly that it's conceivable to hook enough people into voting for another Godzilla movie, especially a tie-in sequel or part of a series of films.

Why would it have to be streamed or torrented though?

Godzilla is officially licensed, so unless users are willing to buy it, there's no other way to watch it but illegally.

I guess libraries are out of the question

Not everyone has the library of the gods

I think it's dumb to disqualify something because some people might not go the legal route. There's always going to be someone like that. If it's officially licensed, make a clear statement that there is to be no discussion about where to find such things online and move on as normal.


That said, this should make it easier, there are a handful of Godzilla movies on Netflix.

Quick search tells me the following are on Netflix:
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (aka the original with the add US footage)
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla's Revenge (aka All Monsters Attack)
Terror of Mechagodzilla
Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster
and finally not Godzilla but related, Rodan

When in doubt, pick one of those.
