Godzilla: The King of Monsters

/

My favourite monster is Godzilla. They do not call him the King of Monsters for nothing.

I first found out about Godzilla by watching Minecraft mod videos on YouTube. I had stumbled across the Godzilla mod, and I immediately thought it was the coolest thing in the world. At the time, I was not good at installing mods for Minecraft, so I was not able to play the Godzilla mod until many years later, but my love for Godzilla was continuously growing. On my trip to New York City, I went to FAO Schwarz for the first time, and I bought a massive Godzilla figure. I loved that figure, and I have it displayed in my room. I also remember the first time I ever watched the old Godzilla movies. My childhood self was left wanting more.

Over the years, Godzilla has gone through many changes since his debut in the 1954 movie Godzilla. Some were good, and some were bad. My favourite design for Godzilla is the current one that was first introduced in the 2014 movie. I love that design since it is a mix of a giant lizard and a Tyrannosaurus rex. It looks awesome. His powers are also showcased to their best with this design because his spikes and most of his back glow blue when he shoots his awesome blue blast out of his mouth.

Godzilla is also massive in pop culture; he is one of the most popular characters in Japanese culture. His presence is felt worldwide, with cameos in many shows, movies, and video games. Most recently, a Justice League vs Godzilla and King Kong comic crossover was released and is awesome. The Justice League vs Godzilla and King Kong is something I didn’t know I needed, but why wouldn’t I enjoy two of my favourite franchises colliding? It is awesome. Godzilla is so popular that he has his very own hotel in Tokyo, Japan. That hotel is one of the many reasons that I want to visit Japan.

The lore of Godzilla and all of the other monsters is another reason why I love this universe so much. Just like superheroes, the hero is not complete without their rogues gallery, and Godzilla has a very cool cast of monsters to bash heads with. Some examples would be King Ghidora, King Kong, Mecha Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and many more.

Godzilla is and always will be my favourite monster, and I cannot wait to see what else this franchise has in store. I don’t have to wait too long since the new Godzilla and Kong movie is set to release early next year.

Hello. I’m Luca. I love all things geek. I enjoy superheroes, Star Wars, cartoons, movies, TV shows, comics, and video games. Ever since I was a kid, I have always enjoyed geek culture. Spider-Man was my first introduction to superheroes. Spider-Man has continued to mean so much to me, just like all the other characters across all the many genres I enjoy. Batman has been my favourite character for over 12 years now, bumping Spider-Man down to number two. I also enjoy collecting geek memorabilia, like action figures, Lego, books, video games, movies, and more. I hope you enjoy my blog.
