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!

This is Episode 13 of the "Major Videos"

    Man body shames Godzilla for 37 minutes and 17 seconds.
  • @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
  • @cis4659
    Shin Godzilla's atomic breath being pressurized fire breath is insanely cool looking.
  • @jontuxen2724
    "Godzilla Earth looks like a grandpa" Dude...he's like..20000 years old
  • @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.
  • @MrJomalley123
    Godzilla monsterverse: I am the earths sole protector and I will do whatever it takes to keep balance Shin Godzilla: I am a mistake I need to die please end my suffering Minus one: I am the monster that the world says I am and I will have my revenge for what mankind has done to me Godzilla earth: Hi there young people nice day today :D
  • @raginlemon9261
    Minus one is honestly my favorite I love how sinister his eyes look and his dorsal plates have a unique look
  • 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.
  • @ehtanwhite5965
    So Godzilla is 70 this year and Transformers is 40 this year... Birthday Crossovers are probably going to happen
  • @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
  • @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.
  • I’m pretty late, but something I want to add about minus 1 Godzilla is that his rocky skin you mentioned is actually based off of the burns people would face because of the nukes that went off. It’s a pretty cool design detail that makes perfect sense for this goji
  • @kevinobill4818
    If Godzilla Minus One appears on Prime and I will say happy birthday to Godzilla forever.
  • 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

  • @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
