Good ol' Godzilla, As a long time star in the movie industry, it's inevitable that he'd go through many different looks and styles throughout his 70 years of film work. So today I embark on a journey to determine which of his looks were the best, and the ones that should've stayed on the page!
Also spoilers for pretty much every Godzilla movie!

    Man body shames Godzilla for 37 minutes and 17 seconds.
  • @cis4659
    Shin Godzilla's atomic breath being pressurized fire breath is insanely cool looking.
  • @betanzo9989
    Never understood why people have an issue with Godzilla being “thick”, “fat” or“bulky” like that’s kind of a part of what makes Godzilla so imposing
  • @waterhose8467
    That dude screaming "GODZILLA!" will always live rent free in my head.
  • @thisguy2985
    I'm glad someone's giving some love to the new design! I was shocked by the amount of hate towards it.
  • @jontuxen2724
    "Godzilla Earth looks like a grandpa" Dude...he's like..20000 years old
  • @MEMEKINGGRIMM
    The fact that you used Hollow Knight's Crystal Cave soundtrack when you ranked New Empire Godzilla is just hilarious. I see what you did there
  • I mean, to be fair with 2014’s design, it makes sense for a creature that big to have legs that thick. Look at sauropods. They were the largest land creatures to ever live and their legs were like tree trunks. They needed those thick legs to support their weight.
  • Put some respect on MosuGoji that look is iconic AF and less cartoony or smug as any other mainline showa suit.
  • @user-vw8it9oo8h
    I love Heisei Godzilla's frightening yet somehow friendly face. His eyes are big and his mouth has a bit of a mammalian look to it, which really conveys his emotions.
  • The actual reason legendary Godzilla's spikes are more accurate after the 2014 film is because in an official sequel comic his spikes explode after fighting a muto prime
  • @ehtanwhite5965
    So Godzilla is 70 this year and Transformers is 40 this year... Birthday Crossovers are probably going to happen
  • I find it crazy that you put Godzilla Earth at 27. That shit is one of the hardest Godzilla designs I've ever seen in my life. But it is your opinion so I respect it. Edit: after seeing you put TriStar right after it, I take back my respect. 😂
  • @OneOclockSteve
    Great list! I’m a lifelong Godzilla fan, and Godzilla 2000 is one of my favorite designs. I honestly thought no one else liked that suit.
  • @ThemboCinema
    the 2014 ( monsterverse) design has really grown on me. I love that it’s sort of bear/ hippo like. Curious to see how the more athletic redesign plays in GxK
  • @thomask.8922
    All monsters seem to suffer from severe metabolic diseases. Enormous accumulations of fat in the tail and hip area are clear indications. All severe skin diseases and skin changes point to this. There also appears to be water retention in the legs, which in turn is an indication of cardiovascular disease. I therefore suspect a poor diet. A bag of human snacks was often eaten in the evening. I therefore strongly recommend a visit to the doctor and fewer attacks on helpless and innocent coastal inhabitants. And the dentist certainly has a few health tips too. How about an apple? Only number 25 seems to be focussing on healthy eating and regular exercise.
  • The Godzilla 2000's suit is overall my favorite look. I love the over the top dorsal fins and the crackling sound effects the atomic breath has when charging, makes me think of a Geiger counter picking up radiation.
  • @kevinobill4818
    If Godzilla Minus One appears on Prime and I will say happy birthday to Godzilla forever.
  • @james_library
    I love this list. I think Shin Godzilla might be my favorite because it brings Godzilla back to his horror roots. Objectively though the Godzilla from Godzilla 2000 is the most iconic and balanced design
  • @raginlemon9261
    Minus one is honestly my favorite I love how sinister his eyes look and his dorsal plates have a unique look
