Gigan #MonsterMarch2024

[cyanide-sippy-cup]

One thing I think many gloss over when it comes to Godzilla is the motivation and personality of each iteration, and how their design reflects that.

Shin is a being of pure agony, a living cancer that kills and destroys as much as it can out of pure rage and hatred at its own existence and those who made it be so. Over the film, it goes from what looks like a dead shark to a monster with razors for teeth and eyes of pure suffering and hate.

Minus One is basically hate personified, a monster that somehow manages to hold a deep personal rage against each and every individual member of humanity. It's hatred runs so deep that it commits actions just to terrify and kill. And it's design forces a terrifying glare, one so viscous you'd believe it really hates you personally.

Monsterverse is more of a disgruntled hero. He kinda gives the vibe of a dude who stands in the corner at a party acting like he doesn't want to be there. He has specific motivations in taking down particular kaiju, motivations that are often confused for attacks. He does what he needs to do and retreats back to the ocean when he's done. And he looks consistently miffed. A face that does lean into a menacing rage when necessary.

Classic goji is, like most iterations, an already existing being from the sea, enraged at the destruction of its home and mutation of itself. It has come to simply destroy, destroy all that has allowed this to occur. It causes hurt and suffering, agony and destruction all in its shared pain and rage. Its design is literally shaped like a mushroom cloud since, yknow, nuke mutation.

I have been looking for this image for so long

It's so hard to find Kaiju scale charts that both compare sizes of various incarnations of characters and real buildings too, and I also love this because it conveys that while the Showa era monsters (Rodan, Anguirus, and Gigan) are big, they don't absolutely dwarf everything, and that's why the Showa era Kaiju size range of 40-70 meters is my preferred size for them, like don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the absolutely Titanic proportions of Heisei era onward, but there's a charm to the smaller sizes that I like, and I think there's something to the idea that although humanity can build structures that dwarf Kaiju, said monsters still smash and knock over everything, because their power is just that much greater, really emphasizes the "power of mother nature" aspect with the animal Kaiju, and also the threat of alien/non natural Kaiju

Plus when Kaiju are smaller, humanity building vehicles and facilities that can contain them are easier to accept
