KAIJULY KOMPENSATION DAY 3: FAVORITE GODZILLA VILLAINS- KING GHIDORAH, GIGAN, AND HEDORAH

(once again, I apologize for the lateness, I had college orientation and I had hoped to get this done before but alas… I will get thru this though, I promise that)

I have alot of fav villains, but the ones who stick out the most to me are these three Boys:

King Ghidorah- the classic goji villain, the world destroyer, the golden dragon, the head honcho, the whole enchilada; KG has a massive, frightening and imposing presence, right from his first fiery entrance in 1964; his motives for destruction, combined with that shiny sheen makes for a great contrast with Godzilla and the classic rivalry we know today; top design is the 1991 (not so much the origins), but his showa design is right up there too.. love them manes

Gigan- I actually don’t know what it is that’s appealing to me about Gigan, he just… is. I think it’s his unusual design, or his dangerous arsenal of weapons, or his interactions with his fellow villains (mostly Megalon tho);  either way Gigan is honestly just a classic bad dude to me; top design is 1972, but I equally love the edgy, awesomely over-the-top 2004 design

Hedorah- this sludgy fellow is just evil incarnate, man. no motive other than destruction and killing, an eerie, mysterious presence, and that slightly goofy design that really amplifies the spook factor; Hedorah always just kinda spooked me, ever since i was a kid, and that’s why I love him. bonus points for the appealing evolutionary factor. top design is 1971. 2004 is ok i guess (and for as much as I enjoy Godzilla: Final Wars ,Hedorah’s appearance and subsequent demise really rustles my jimmies)

19. Favorite Ultra kaiju

Pygmon

I love him so much I drew a portrait of him and made it my user icon! Why I love Pygmon has a lot in common with why I love Minya.  They are comically, shockingly ugly characters that are simultaneously incredibly charming and endearing that have a tendency to bring out the best in the characters around them. They’re the “Ugly Cute” trope brought to bizarre-but-lovable life! 

Pygmon is a sweet, helpful, and (most dramatically) selfless creature starring in two of my all-time favorite episodes of Ultraman.  He’s something of a fixture in the Ultra franchise too: I was overjoyed to see him pop up in a particularly touching episode of Ultraman X.  

The Ultra franchise is packed with kick-ass monsters, but none have as much heart and history as the Pygster.

#KAIJUly2017 Day 30 - Favorite Incarnation of a Multi-Movie Villian: Death Ghidorah ...beasty and brutal. There's a big diorama available for purchase that has DG beheading the Mothra larvae... I wouldn't mind owning it haha, but it was $700 when I saw it for sale in Japan. #kaijuly #Kaiju #deathghidorah #mothra #desghidorah #rebirthofmothra #rebirthofmothra2 #rebirthofmothra3

Kaijuly’17 Day 5: Favorite Power Rangers / Sentai Zord

Oops, going into unknown territory. I’ve never been a fan of these tokusetsu action shows, I’ll be honest. So, going solely by design here, I’m going to vote Serpentera

KAIJULY KOMPENSATION DAY 4: OTHER FAVORITE GODZILLA KAIJU- BIOLLANTE, MEGALON, AND TITANOSAURUS

just some other kaiju I like, no categories, no rhyme, no rhythm. also, again, sorry for being late with these.

Biollante: biollante is essentially the complete package concerning great kaiju.   a great backstory that combines mystical elements with classic scifi stropes, a massive, beautiful design that, fx-wise, is even more beautifully executed (in an era where execution is quite the issue, lol), she’s just awesome. biollante’s my girl, no questions about it.

Megalon: honestly, I like Megalon for the same reasons I like Gigan- that is, I can’t really explain it.  like Gigan, he’s got a zany set of weapons and abilities and powers- it more or less encapsulates what’s great about those campy yet awesome partts of the Godzilla series. I guess nostalgia also plays a part, as Godzilla vs. Megalon was one of my first goji films and he was on of my favorite characters in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee.  regardless, he’s just a crazy dude that’s hard not to like.

Titanosaurus:  like Biollante, Titanosaurus has the great combo of an immersive, tragic origin story and an awesome design.  I love the aquatic aspects alongside the more dinosaurian/ almost dragon-like elements to his suit. also love that roar, man,  that weird, elephant/ trumpet noise- thing, it’s all great

Days 20 and 21

20. Favorite Godzilla toy you own

This... Christmas tree ornament?! 

Kind of an odd choice, I know, but this thing rules.  A good friend gave it to me years ago and it was a super pleasant and strange surprise! The colors aren’t as electrifyingly vibrant as that promotional picture would lead you to believe, but it lights up in sequence (spines, then beam, then explosion) with terrific, loud sound effects punctuating each step.  It’s so sick that I pulled the metal pin out of the top and keep it out all year.  

21. Favorite kaiju 1st appearance in a film

Godzilla, Mothra vs. Godzilla

This one sticks with me man.  Forever and ever. It’s just perfect.  They build up tons of tension and drama leading up to the reveal, the surprise of a sea monster bursting out of the earth, the way his movements and the cascading dirt sell his gargantuan mass, the beached ship in the foreground for more scale, the “OH SHIT” reactions of all the actors... it just all comes together perfectly.  

Special mention: Ultraman’s back-breaking flying double kick entrance Special mention rather than a runner-up because this is a TV entrance instead of a film one, but every time Ultraman does this I lose my shit.

Kaijuly 2017 mega post #3....

[otakusatsu]

#KAIJUly2017 Day 13 - favorite Gamera suit: Nightmare/Trauma Gamera. This suit is lit. Unfortunately it's not used very much because it represents the traumatic experience Ayana had when Gamera "killed" her parents whilst fighting Gyaos back in 1995. So it's only seen in her flashbacks. Still cool enough to get a few figures made of it. It reminds me of the GMK Godzilla suit. #kaijuly #kaiju #nightmaregamera #gameraiii #gamera3 #特撮 #tokusatsu #怪獣 #daikaiju #ガメラ

[markthrash]

4. Favorite Gamera movie- Now this one is hard to choose because the Heisei Trilogy are all my favorites and some of the best Kaiju movies ever made but G2 and G3 are my tops. Gamera 2 was always number one for me but in the last two years Gamera 3 has been the runner up. It's a tough choice All three from the 90s are good and perfect. For this though I chose Gamera 3 Revenge of Iris, also known as Gamera 3 Impossible Struggle. #Gamera #Kaiju #Kaijuly2017
