  This just proves that you can be an adult man in a costume fighting another adult man in a costume and no one will judge you as long as you record it.

  You can feel the genuine love and care for Godzilla through this well crafted video. Always a pleasure to watch you discuss movies, Matt!

  So fun fact, Ebirah: Horror of the Deep was originally going to star Kong, but the studio ran into rights issues, and so instead they inserted Godzilla into the role. You can tell it was supposed to be Kong in the role thanks to a lot of key scenes, especially the part where Godzilla takes a liking to a human girl for some reason.

  Ah yeah. It's gonna can't wait for the Heisei and millennium era to the Rewa era.

  Little sad you didn't mention the man responsible for bringing Godzilla and many of the other monsters to life, Eiji Tsuburaya, but then again the man is a legend worthy of a standalone video.  Still an absolutely outstanding video Matt!  You deserve way more subs because your videos are always top quality!

  This video has single-handedly re-ignited my love for the Godzilla franchise. Absolutely incredible work, Matt! Just like Godzilla, you're an unstoppable force.

  I certainly agree with you about 'Destroy All Monsters'.   I saw it at a drive-in in 1970 (along with Ghidrah and The Green Slime) when I was 5 years old and it is still my absolute favorite Godzilla movie til this day!!   Thanks much for posting this video.

  They explain that the Godzilla from <i>Raids Again</i> and onward is another member of the same species as the original, and that it and Anguirus were resurrected by the same atomic tests that awoke the original Godzilla. It isn&apos;t &quot;inexplicable&quot;, although it is easy to understand how it could be overlooked.
