2023-24 turned out to be a great year for those of us Godzilla fans.
Although both movies feature Godzilla, they are as different as night and day. The Legendary Pictures Godzilla acts more like Gamera rather than the King of the Monsters from Japan.
That is the topic of an article from theSun out of Malaysia. It is an article well worth a good read.
They begin the article with:
THERE is a clear line drawn in the sand between Toho and Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla films.
Although they share the same genetic strain, they could not be further apart, like twin children separated at birth and fostered by two different families from starkly different socioeconomic backgrounds. This has never been clearer than Godzilla Minus One.
For Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros Pictures Monsterverse franchise, Godzilla is the hero. In the recent Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the giant lizard teams up with his oversized monkey friend to save Earth.
On the other hand, Toho’s Godzilla Minus One features Godzilla as how Ishiro Honda conceived the creature in 1954’s Godzilla: an allegory for the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan, coalesced into a force of nature that will kill everyone and destroy everything in its ravenous path.
