18:58 Fun Fact: Cryptoclidus was a real animal, a marine reptile belonging to the plesiosaur family! Note they are not dinosaurs, and are more closely related to modern sea turtles! Mosasaurus also is not a water dinosaur, it’s actually a squamate, in the same group with lizards and snakes!

Nop, fyi Godzilla is the first and only Kaiju. I don't believe u.

This Is Why Scissor Runner Is My Favourite Dragon In Fairy Tail

Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. 1886

Lol

The Bulgarian Kong made me laugh out loud.

Beastie boys in the house

How appropriate to have Zilla's roar used for a monster called "False God" 😉

Maybe Kaiju (or daikaiju) should describe strange giant beast with human traits or are somewhat personified (maybe not so much the last part)

So,to understand WHAT I am hearing Kai-which I heard means "Giant", And "Ju",is "Monster",Then IF WE must be strictly ACCURATE,Then a GIANT MONSTER,Which is the Orig Kaiju, Considering HIS OVERALL SIZE, Who IS Giant,Is "The Great Buddha",Considering HIS size...And the MOVIE debuted in 1934,THEN HE is the 1ST(And Original) Kaiju...Agreed,considering his Giant Size, and that he IS from 1934,About my Observation and Belief?

4:00 ahhh Turbonegro on their Pacific Rimjob Tour… classic

Kai means big Jew means beast Hmmmm maybe they’re not wrong about all that antisemitism.

"Neglection" isn't a word. It's already there: "neglect".

No terror of Mechagodzilla is the second Mecha Godzilla movie

Can't wait for your ranking of space/anti-gravity scenes.

I've never liked that puppet and cringe every time I see it or any of the other hand and stick puppets that were used in future films.

That trailer at the end is so nostalgic. I remember seeing that trailer along with other trailers for the showa era Godzilla movies at the end of Godzilla King of the Monsters.

As a devout Catholic, it kind of blows my mind that anyone would turn the Buddha into a kaiju. Isn't that, well, blasphemous? Or at least really, really disrespectful? (There was a comic book in which Abe Lincoln got off his throne and walked around Washington saying howdy to the young'uns ...)

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu😅

Loved Godzilla back then and hated the cartoon.

Could Kaiju 9 to be considered to be renamed to mysterious Beast 9

The probable reason that Jiraya doesn't have a lot of title cards is that Japanese silent films were accompanied by a "benshi" (narrator) who described the action and storyline. Skilled benshi could become very popular and the tradition of benshi actually set back the introduction of sound to Japanese films for several years.

So two little things i noticed in the show. So Mexico just has this extremely potent chemical weapon and no one bats an eye, in this show México has one of the most powerful anti mutation weapons and no one attempts to follow suit. And when they mentioned that Nuking Baghdad would cause WWIII, does this mean Iraq has nukes in the show?

I can't recommend the Food of the Gods movie as it also has real animal cruelty, they killed some of the rats on purpose. Read the novel instead.

The second Japanese King Kong. He resembles a yeti. He also looks like an early Hollywood werewolf.

The first movie points out all the significant ninja lords and gods .... or forms that ninjas Take. Naruto and The movie the Magic serpent. Most ninja narratives using animation forms are based off these gods. Manda from Atragon Is based off of serpant god. The head of the gods leading serpant style Ninjitsu. Kind off like the naga of Hindu lore.

Pacific rims only significance is that the definition is clear to American audiences. And we all no nothing is of significant if the west dose not acknowledge it

To be honest yes god zilla is the first as though those movies existed before. The genre is defind by godzilla. Just like the final girl was defined by 80s slasher movies even though there were slashers and final girls in movies before.

Bokimono : I thought was the word for monster .... I’m sure I spelled it wrong

Was Buddha the inspiration to Daimajin?

That pic of the buddha in the thumbnail is so gangster

Kaiju/Xenomorph

I view kaiju as creatures that put humanity in their place. Creatures that are unique and strong in some capacities. They require out of the box thinking and armchair theories to be beaten or must be reasoned with to find a solution. Which is why i find the 2005 Kong a "Monster" and the Monsterverse Kong a "Kaiju". 2005's Kong doesn't challenge humanity in any meaningful way besides the initial danger of a large ape and is also killed by simple planes.

The Bible wasn’t made to establish rules. It was written to save souls. I was gonna sub but that line in your video changed my mind. 😒

I took a shot everytime you said kaiju.

I swear i saw a version where Godzilla is swimming away

I am going to assume that "Jiraya the Brave" from 1921 and Toei's 1966 "The Magic Serpent" are more or less, the same story, drawing from the same source material.

The jiraiya movie makes kind of a reference to naruto

Japanese silent films didn’t use inter titles as they had a live narrator for each showing. That’s why those films don’t have ones.

Japanese words for Japanese people so Japanese people understand English words for English speakers so they understand its common sense you want appeal to however the audience is for example Gojira is the correct way of saying godzilla there is no translation the west created the word Godzilla

people always want to turn everything Japanese into a western word

Part of the reason that Son of Kong did well in Asian territories is because Charlie was one of the first Asian characters in Hollywood to be portrayed in a decent light. He stands up to the bully, secures provisions, fights the styracosaurus, and even claims a share of the treasure at the end. It's a big step up from his role in the first film.

Regarding the difficulty following the plot in the silent film, I'd bet that's because there's no *benshi* audio. In Japanese silent film, in addition to having musical accompaniment, there would also be a narrator called a "benshi" who would tell the story, speak for characters, etc. And because of that, there's a much reduced reliance on title cards to help explain the story.

Paul Bunyan is a Kaiju

Thank you for the dive and Japanese lessons. Why do you talk like a kindergarten teacher/game show host? Perhaps... (dramatic pause) you could walk in to the hills for a day and yell yer guts out and find your voice. It's there and it's a fine voice, kid. I used to teach didgeridoo before everybody went mental and many students would start crying due to deep-breathing affects - they literally had stopped deep breathing in childhood. Come to L.A., buy me a triple espresso and we could find your real voice in 3 hours or less. You'd be amazed however courage is required.

"...very few title cards" not "very little". Imma Virgo, you have to forgive me because many cleaners (Virgos) work anonymously and yes, many Cleaners do the shite work that you would never, ever approach. My mind is basically 3 years old, so narration is...appropriate? Kidding, I'm an elder. An elder is an older person, generally typified by cliches in the culture. I was born as the shoot (1953) was wrapping up. Me'n'G'.

I pray that there is at least one set of copies left of those japanese kong movies that is like the holy grail of lost monster movies along with the other two golem films, italian frankenstein, russian dracula to name a few.

I remember Daimajin, but I don't remember what year his 3 movies came out. He was a Samurai who reminded me a little of Popeye! Okay, he was 1966, so several years after Godzilla.

It’s a great game

My friend recommended me this video and it’s really well made and cool! As a kid I considered Kaiju to be monsters bigger than monsters, because in my heart I believed godzilla/Kong to be the biggest ones ive seen. I kinda still hold that up to this day, but now if and only there are a scarce few of the same species.
