Really? I need to rewatch them now and see if I can spot them.

Isn't 84 meant to be terrible? I skipped that one because it got utterly trashed by critics. Will I not be able to follow Biollante without watching 84 then? Also which one is GMK? And I'll be fine with that one if I watch Gojira yeah?

GMK is Giant Monsters All Out Attack. The full title is something silly like "Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack" so "GMK" is much simpler.

I haven't seen Godzilla movies for years but I remember liking Godzilla Against Mecha Godzilla and Tokyo SOS the best... Am I the only one?

It depends. If you watch the US version of 84 called Godzilla 1985, then yes, it is a terrible movie. The Japanese version is very good though as it features a Godzilla that is a terror to Japan and shows how his living effects the entire world, not just Japan.

Thankfully, you won't be totally lost if you watch Biollante before 84, as the movie starts off with a recap of the ending to 84 since it begins just hours after Godzilla's attack.

I'll try and hunt down a subbed version of the torrent then!

So you didn't watch it because critics trashed on it? Why not, oh I don't know, watch it yourself and make up your own mind?

Because two hours is a long time, enough time to watch six toku episodes of a show I enjoy, or watch a movie I actually like, or to go out and do something productive.

I physically have neither the time, nor the money, nor the patience to force myself through EVERYTHING so I can 'make up my own mind'. Critics are a tool, they don't work on their own, they have to be implemented and as such they can steer you in the right path.

I really can't stand GMK myself. I mean I see where people like it but I myself just can't get over the idea of King Ghidorah being a good guy.

I personally love the back to back Kiryu movies myself. I've been hearing a lot of riffing on Tokyo SOS as well. Personally I love it.

Personally for me thought my all time personal movie is Godzilla vs Biolantte. That movie has a lot of world building making it feel like a world where a giant monster popping out is very possible.

lol That is how I am with Godzilla. I do not care for the movies from the late 60s and 70s that much because I cannot picture Godzilla being a super hero.
