Why Heisei Godzilla is Iconic

- A short video essay about Heisei Godzilla and the reasons I think he and the series of heisei godzilla films are iconic in the landscape of Godzilla and kaiju films.
I also explain some interesting facts about the suit, atomic breath special effects, and other aspects of the heisei godzilla series that make it iconic in the eyes of myself and the people.
90’s Godzilla has the benefit of looking almost the exact same for 6 movies. Most Godzilla designs barely make it 3 movies before they’re heavily altered. Giving Godzilla a consistent face for almost a decade really helped ensure the staying power of the Heisel design.
Yeah tbh I think that's the real reason Heisei Godzilla became so iconic. Which makes me wonder if Monsterverse Godzilla will reach a similar level of iconic if the Monsterverse continues.
@@stabster9366they will be. unlike every japanese godzilla movies after 1998 that are just a bunch of reboots, american Godzilla stands out in that they're building an entire cinematic universe for their godzilla. everyone remember legendary godzilla as godzilla while shin/earth/ultima feel like they're seperate monsters like space godzilla.
And the fact that we got a giant radioactive lizard fight the best and most powerful monsters in the franchise and became the most infamous Godzilla just shows how great the Heisei era was. Great monsters. Good movies. Iconic monsters and really good music.
The Heisei design is fantastic... Exuding menace and power... Every battle his opponents had big problems trying to fight him straight up... The atomic beam is also bad ass... The roar with the low end sub woofer rumble... Yeah a great incarnation, my favorite for sure.
Heisei is Toho’s favorite version of big G to use, second being shin I think. And I’d like to keep it that way
Well I think the main reason that is, is because shin godzilla was recently released, similar to how godzilla 2000 took over the branding for a few years, but then faded away after the next godzillas.
And that's why the Heisei Godzilla is my most favorite.
Part of Heisei Godzilla's popularity is due to the fact that it stayed more or less unchanged compared to other versions of the character for more than a decade. However I don't think time is the only factor here. It's my opinion that Heisei's enduring popularity is caused by its simplicity (as opposed to the more complex design of 2000), as well as the fact that it's an updated version of the classic Showa design, keeping the timeless features but combining them with a more detailed finish and realistic look, making it marketable and recognisable as the "default" version of the classic monster for many.
haven't seen you in a while, also yes I agree.
You know he's iconic when Toho and Japan use him most.
Heisei Godzilla combined the multi-movie storytelling and crazy science fiction and fantasy elements of the Showa series, and the dark and mature themes of the original 1954 movie. Those reasons alone are why I feel makes Heisei beloved even today. Every movie is worth watching by fans as it leads into the other, with the introduction and life of Junior being a major example of such. He always grew in each movie he was in, which made it even more impactful at the very end when he assumes the role as king of the monsters. Who could blame people for wanting Gemstone Godzilla to be Junior, as we can see his story continue and reach an even more worthwhile conclusion, as he's living up to his father's legacy as being a protector of Earth, and the bane to mankind.
Excellent work my friend.
Thanks, I always wanted to make this vid for years, but I didn't know if anyone would watch, I'm glad people are enjoying it.
@@GSTE_ I am as well, especially given slander by creators like blunova
@@godzillakingofthemonsters5812 well he was just saying his opinion, but I'm glad others can hear my opinion on the topic.
@@godzillakingofthemonsters5812Damn you found this video before me Bud lol
Help me !!
This guy is making me a bigger Godzilla heisei fan than i was before 😭
Awesome video man :D
Heisei godzilla was my first introduction to the franchise
I really enjoyed this video! Heisei Godzilla as well as the Heisei series is without a doubt my favorite of all the Godzilla series. I’m glad to see more and more people acknowledging why it’s such an iconic look for the monster as the 1989 and 1994 Godzilla are the designs that come to mind whenever I hear someone say “Godzilla.” Great video dude!
The first time I saw heisei Godzilla was from that snickers Godzilla commercial, but once I learn more about him, Jesus Christ, that man is a legend none the less, and even though I’m more of a legendary Godzilla fan, but I can stand with the fact that heisei will forever be one of the most iconic and memorable Godzillas
I honestly think the best part about Heisei Goji is the story, Heisei Godzilla probably has the best Story out of all fiction IMO
Dude WHAT? His story is about as deep as a soup spoon. I love heisei godzilla but calling it the best story ever is a far cry.
@@IAmPainisCupcake1 you only want simple stuff? Then you're nowhere near like me
@@ReoGojira What?
@@IAmPainisCupcake1 ugh, nevermind, it's just my opinion
I really like the heisei Godzilla design
Personaly i grew up with hesei so hes always been my favorite but i have a soft spot for millenium scince the kiryu saga holds some of the best movies of all time.
"Godzilla...90'S!" can never forget that lol
MY FAVORITE GODZILLA
THANKS !
Heisei godzilla was my favorite as a kid
He was intimaating Classic Look
AND ANIMALISTIC HEAD
This person just replied to themselves
@@UKRAINEMapping he's talking to the uploader because they liked his comment
Heisei Godzilla is the best version of the character. The design is iconic and he has a great story arc. While the Showa era may be my favorite era, Heisei is my favorite interpretation of the character.
I LOVE THE HEISEI GODZILLA & HIS MOVIES
Heisei Godzilla is my definition image of Godzilla. Legendary G is a good second but you cannot beat 90s Goji.
You earned a sub, great commentary, perfect for eating and watching at the same time
While 74 is my favorite design, Heisei is easily, the most iconic
If Godzilla was in real life this is how I picture him
Heisei Godzilla is the best Godzilla, change my mind.
Heisei Godzilla is my favorite Godzilla
Almost every Godzilla suit, minus 84Goji, in the Heisei series look the same.
Heishi Godzilla is a very tragic beast
Heisei Godzilla's face looks like a cat
I am so happy to have a heisei goji figure
Not Bad, Although My heart goes to the MireGoji Design as it's my go to for the Monster King and I Hope he makes a comeback in the media
MireGoji on top
And heisei
You’re the best CZcams channel ever watch
Heisei Godzilla is my favorite Godzilla all the way.
Thats why i always say that heisei godzilla is the real goat no matter what
The only thing I dlslike about the animation of his atomic breath is how sporratic it is. I loved how it looked in 1989. Combine that with the glow on MogeGoji's and we're golden
I think they were trying to make it look more like a nuclear reaction.
But I like it, i personally don't like the 1989 one the most out of the heisei films.
I love Godzilla 90s
The true G.O.A.T of all the gojis his deign is great the movies are great great beging all the way to the end
The vfx and pfx are also great i love
The heisei its truely great for being
Made in the 90s and dont forget heisei
Burning from
I also love this version.
Heisei Godzilla is the most powerful Godzilla and is the best Godzilla of all time. I don't care what anyone says.
heisei godzilla is my favorite godzilla :)
Cool video
1:01 what is that scene? I've never seen this. Can I have a link to this deleted scene?
It's a deleted scene, which can be seen in the special features for the japanese blu ray from the film. Also I think if you look up godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2 deleted scenes you might be able to find it.
The Heisei Godzilla encapsulated Godzilla in his anti-heroic roots.
I would like to see his design in cgi tbh
his fighting style would be more clearer in cgi i guess
I haven't seen minus one yet, but that design is basically the most similar to Heisei Godzilla we probably will ever get.
Wish that millenium's roar was actually heisei roar.
I thought showa was the most iconic and i like him
Well it's not really about how much anyone likes him, it's mostly about the uses of his design from people who don't even know Godzilla films, or certain elements from the series being used in commercials, promotion, statues and similar things.
There is literally a giant head on a building in Japan based on the 1992 Heisei Godzilla design, as well as the statue of Godzilla that was up since around 1996.
Please tell me the credits song
The basket ball Godzilla is the best one.
That version is mixed between 84 and rest of Heisei design
🌍Brasil💘🇯🇵😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm ngl
Heisei Godzillas design and roar peaked in 1991 and then progressively got worse and worse
I think the design was at it's worst in 1989.
@@GSTE_i liked it the most in 1989
@@Spikjevoff1991 is may favorite
Nah Burning is Peak
Godzilla 1984 🇯🇵
because showa godzillas are batshit ugly and millenium godzillas are so inconsistent nobody remembers them.
Nah Showa the goat
Cool video
