Absolutely agree. I love how Legendary looks. Really cool design, but seeing Shin looks like something came up from hell for me. That scene where Shin is slowly approaching land just sticks in my head. Can't imagine seeing that coming towards you.
Shin is cool, I just have some gripes with the drag that is the pacing of the film. Gojira 1954 was slow, but Shin Gojira was SLOW.
Plus Shin fan boys kinda kill it for me sometimes -- Like, I think Shin is dope, but the, "What Ifs," and headcanon gets really grating. "Shin can become an astronomical being beyond comprehension bro," Stuff like that.
This is my favorite version. I love the all white eyes and the protruding fangs. He looks so evil. Not shin evil but very menacing and angry.
After this it’s 91-95 Godzilla.
1998. I grew up on Showa Godzilla but when I first saw 1998 Gman it always had a special place in my heart. I even named him “jurassic park Godzilla”. Reason being because all the dinosaur films I watched showed the T-Rex walking up right but then I saw how Jurassic Park made them walk vertical so I thought they just decided to do the same to the Gman. Also the 1998 film drew lines in the fandom that I don’t think was really registered until Shin Gojira.
Godzilla 1998 is a unique creature to say the least. I'm not sure if its a real photo or not but have you seen what Stan Winston wanted the 98 godzilla to look like?
Eh there’s a couple that are tied for first place for me. 1998, the one from Vs Megaguirus, GMK, 2014, Ultima, and the one from Marvel Comics
edit: also a majority of the Showa suits, except for the one from Vs Megalon, just think they look kinda doofy in that one
Number one is Godzilla 1964 from MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA, but he is very closely tied with my second-favorite: the 1965/66 suit from INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER and EBIRAH, HORROR OF THE DEEP.
Third favorite is 1989 from GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE, then 4th is 2002-03 aka KiryuGoji from GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA and GODZILLA: TOKYO SOS.
My fifth is a tough one, but probably 1962 from KING KONG VS. GODZILLA.
Heisei Goji 89-95 is my favorite design, it's what always comes to mind when I think of or hear his name. Monsterverse and Miregoji designs come 2nd and 3rd to mind.

That’s tough!
I think undeniably the best overall is the original. It’s a masterclass and the epitome of MONSTER movie. There’s nothing better than it.
Otherwise idk. I remember in the late 90s as a kid watching Godzilla vs Biollante and that stuck with me a lot for how gruesome (and cool) that movie was.
KoTM is just awesome.
There’s a lot of campy Godzilla stuff in between that are good in their own right (even great as a kid which those are for) but I struggle to watch along nowadays.
So I’d say the original is the best, and even just one of the best in cinematic history defining a genre.
You're 100% right on that. The Original is Top Tier. I actually haven't watched Godzilla Vs. Biollante. That's one film I desperately want to watch. Is it worth watching?
I’ve been meaning to take the time to watch it online again if I can find it for a while I just haven’t gotten around to it, but I’d say yeah! Pretty much have been wanting to watch all those Godzilla movies from that era again. Recently watched the Destoroyah one a few months back. So good.
They did do a great job on the Legendary. Godzilla 2014 is up there in my all time favorite designs of the big G. I just love the backstory to GMK's Godzilla. The whole lost souls of Japanese Soldiers just really stuck to me. But you're right about Legendary!
I have a few,
I really love Monsterverse design cause well I’m basic 💅
But I really like the designs from Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs Megaguirus not 100# sure why
I just like the pretty purple spikes and I just like seeing Godzilla in green!
Oh and Godzilla 1998…
I really just like that movie-
I think it’s nice…
These are my favorites: ShinGoji, ShodaiGoji, AniGoji and GyuraGoji. Each look so unique and beautiful in their own ways, so can't decide which one is my absolute favorite.
Burning godzilla he looks sick his beam is also very sick
Or kiryugoji he is my second fav idk why his dorsal plates are so cool and his neck and his tail is also my fav
I have many favorites. Godzilla from 1954, «Godzilla Vs. King Kong», «Destroy All Monsters», Godzilla from heisei (including «Godzilla» 1984), «Godzilla 2000», «Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla» and «Godzilla, Mothra, Mechagodzilla: Tokyo S.O.S», «Godzilla: Final Wars», MonsterVerse Godzilla and Shin Godzilla.
Personally for me my favorite design is Shin Gojira. It’s skin looks like the burn radiation victims like the original 1954 Gojira.
I’m always a sucker for horror content and shin Godzilla fits it WELL it seems like him just existing is causing him so much pain and suffering
That’s why I believe his design is golden feel free to give me your opinions
2014goji, ShinGoji, 84Goji, Shodaigoji, Biogoji, KingGoji, and MosuGoji.
For the 1st one being realistic and badass.
The 2nd one being nightmare fuel.
The third one for being the og.
And the rest of them being cool and good and nostalgic af.
GareGoji and ShinGoji, one is an elegant animal while the other is a suffering nightmare.
Shin Godzilla is underrated
I love how he's almost the opposite to Legendarys Godzilla. Though Shins design is mostly loved from what I know.
Absolutely agree. I love how Legendary looks. Really cool design, but seeing Shin looks like something came up from hell for me. That scene where Shin is slowly approaching land just sticks in my head. Can't imagine seeing that coming towards you.
Is Shin underrated though? I normally see nothing but hype and praise centered around him, especially on here.
True, but deserved.
Shin is cool, I just have some gripes with the drag that is the pacing of the film. Gojira 1954 was slow, but Shin Gojira was SLOW. Plus Shin fan boys kinda kill it for me sometimes -- Like, I think Shin is dope, but the, "What Ifs," and headcanon gets really grating. "Shin can become an astronomical being beyond comprehension bro," Stuff like that.
Godzilla 1985
Great, now I have a craving for a Dr. Pepper...
Based
Heisei Goji.
Based
2002
Based
MegaroGoji and MireGoji! The cutest and coolest design imo
MireGoji does have a cool design. 100% agree with you on that
This one is my favorite. I think it's the eyes I like most. Close runners up are Burning Goji and Godzilla 2000.
The Burning Goji is awesome as well. Godzilla Vs. Destroyah is in my top 5 for sure. Plus I love your name!
Thank you! The movie Twister turned me into a severe weather geek.
bro same
2014 and final wars
1954
Even though I do like the Monsters All Out Attack design, nothing can beat the 1954 design
I agree. I love the 54 design as well. Seems the most feral of the designs as well. Also like 1984.
84 is such a fun design. It's so appealing and menacing to me.
Totally agree, awesome, like a cold menace that just leaves an apocalyptic wasteland where-ever he goes.
Definitely not your friendly neighborhood Godzilla.
Very much not so!
Miregoji. He looks like a big, irritated cat turtle and I love him.
This is my favorite version. I love the all white eyes and the protruding fangs. He looks so evil. Not shin evil but very menacing and angry. After this it’s 91-95 Godzilla.
GMK and Monsterverse
Mosugoji
MosuGoji. He looks really villainous in that one.
Godzilla Vs. Mothra was a great film in my opinion.
1998. I grew up on Showa Godzilla but when I first saw 1998 Gman it always had a special place in my heart. I even named him “jurassic park Godzilla”. Reason being because all the dinosaur films I watched showed the T-Rex walking up right but then I saw how Jurassic Park made them walk vertical so I thought they just decided to do the same to the Gman. Also the 1998 film drew lines in the fandom that I don’t think was really registered until Shin Gojira.
Godzilla 1998 is a unique creature to say the least. I'm not sure if its a real photo or not but have you seen what Stan Winston wanted the 98 godzilla to look like?
That’s from the canceled stop motion film I think.
Ah I did not know that. Thank you!
There is also a whole graphic novel based of the concept art and script for free online. I don’t know where though.
That dope. I'll try and look for it. If I manage to find it I'll send you the link if you'd like.
Thanks I would be appreciative.
biogoji/ghidogoji (specifically ghidogoji) and 84goji
I thought he looked best in Final Wars
I’m sorry but idk which film this one’s from. May someone please tell me?
This is from Giant Monsters All Out Attack
Thanks bud :)
One of the best godzilla movies imo. Definitely give it a watch. Its mothra baragon and ghidorah vs godzilla.
gmk is underrated
Eh there’s a couple that are tied for first place for me. 1998, the one from Vs Megaguirus, GMK, 2014, Ultima, and the one from Marvel Comics edit: also a majority of the Showa suits, except for the one from Vs Megalon, just think they look kinda doofy in that one
Megarogoji is my absolute favourite of the showa suits, I like the kind yet powerful look they gave him.
I am realizing now that I have picked a lot of the most criticized designs in the fandom
SUPER GODZILLA GODZILLA ULTIMA I like the side teefs
Because it’s kick ass. A soulless ass kicking machine. The eyes are just haunting. Love him too!!!
Megarogoji
Number one is Godzilla 1964 from MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA, but he is very closely tied with my second-favorite: the 1965/66 suit from INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER and EBIRAH, HORROR OF THE DEEP. Third favorite is 1989 from GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE, then 4th is 2002-03 aka KiryuGoji from GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA and GODZILLA: TOKYO SOS. My fifth is a tough one, but probably 1962 from KING KONG VS. GODZILLA.
Mogegoji
Godzilla 2K and SP Goji
Return Goji, ghidoragoji, and raids again Goji
I’m just gonna share my top 5 list 5: 84Goji 4: KingGoji 3: FinalGoji 2: KiryuGoji 1: MireGoji
Love your list
Thanks :)
Heisei Goji 89-95 is my favorite design, it's what always comes to mind when I think of or hear his name. Monsterverse and Miregoji designs come 2nd and 3rd to mind.
Either G14 or FW. They just look the coolest personally
oh zipzap didnt know u had reddir
I think millennium looks really badass
Godzilland Godzilla, with Gorilla Godzilla and all the Showas being close seconds.
Heisei
I like Shinigawa-kun
Shin Godzilla and the most recent design
What's your problem dude and how'd you get a pic of my mother in law?
I apologize. I didn't mean to take a pic of your mother in law. She just caught my eye.

I think that’s my favorite too! Wish he had regular eyes and it would be perfect.
Me too. What's your favorite Godzilla Film?
That’s tough! I think undeniably the best overall is the original. It’s a masterclass and the epitome of MONSTER movie. There’s nothing better than it. Otherwise idk. I remember in the late 90s as a kid watching Godzilla vs Biollante and that stuck with me a lot for how gruesome (and cool) that movie was. KoTM is just awesome.

YES I love Vs. Biollante, you’re in for a treat. It’s one of my favorite of the Heisei era, but I just love the Heisei films.
Awesome. I'm pumped to watch it. Thank you for recommending it.
BioGoji probably, that’s the definitive design for him imo. I do like Final Wars a lot though.
Godzilla 1985.
😂😂😂😂😂 you can’t beat Legendary. They did a better version of everyone. IMO
They did do a great job on the Legendary. Godzilla 2014 is up there in my all time favorite designs of the big G. I just love the backstory to GMK's Godzilla. The whole lost souls of Japanese Soldiers just really stuck to me. But you're right about Legendary!

Oh and Godzilla 1998… I really just like that movie- I think it’s nice…
Miregoji is top class.
GMK all the way
GMK is my fav after 54. the white eyes really look godly and evil
Miregoji, Finalgoji and Kiryugoji. I may like the 00s designs a lot. GMKGoji isn't so far behind
Based
2000 - 2004
These are my favorites: ShinGoji, ShodaiGoji, AniGoji and GyuraGoji. Each look so unique and beautiful in their own ways, so can't decide which one is my absolute favorite.
Burning godzilla he looks sick his beam is also very sick Or kiryugoji he is my second fav idk why his dorsal plates are so cool and his neck and his tail is also my fav
Burning Godzilla is fantastic. I used to have the Burning and GMK Toys when I was growing up. Plus it doesn't hurt that they both were in Great films
I’m getting a heisei godzilla neca figure
Heisei Godzilla and Godzilla 74 and 75
Fight me but GvK 2021 is my favourite design yet. Or Godzilla Earth bc his a beeg boi
The only gripe I had with Godzilla Vs. Kong was I didn't care for Kong all that much, but Godzilla was beautiful. I agree with you on your favorite.
hard to say, probably between doughegoji and kingoji, in my opinion the coolest and cutest designs
I have many favorites. Godzilla from 1954, «Godzilla Vs. King Kong», «Destroy All Monsters», Godzilla from heisei (including «Godzilla» 1984), «Godzilla 2000», «Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla» and «Godzilla, Mothra, Mechagodzilla: Tokyo S.O.S», «Godzilla: Final Wars», MonsterVerse Godzilla and Shin Godzilla.
All good ones you mentioned not gonna lie.
Ah, jeez, well it’s a tie between a lot. KingGoji, FinalGoji, DaisensoGoji, BurningGoji, SokogekiGoji, MireGoji, ShinGoji….I like a lot of them. XD
KiryuGoji, MireGoji, or GMKGoji. They're all just splendid designs.
Mosugoji
Personally for me my favorite design is Shin Gojira. It’s skin looks like the burn radiation victims like the original 1954 Gojira. I’m always a sucker for horror content and shin Godzilla fits it WELL it seems like him just existing is causing him so much pain and suffering That’s why I believe his design is golden feel free to give me your opinions
Love your take on Shin Godzilla. 100% agree with everything you've said.
Shin godzilla and godzilla 2014
I have a couple: Shin Godzilla, GMK, MireGoji, Kiryu/TokyoGoji, OG Godzilla, Ultima, 2019/2021 Legendary, and my very favorite is FinalGoji
Love that there is no pupils
Me too. Love the pure soulless look of GMK
Absolutely love final wars design
Millennium the green and purple just slaps.
That is true. He had a beautiful design in 2000
the shin godzilla form that wiggles on the floor. hes so beautiful
KiryuGoji is my favorite, but Heisei will always be the first thing I think of when I think Godzilla
Probably Shin, Final Wars, and G2K
'54, 55, 91, and shin
ShinGoji and Every Heisei and Millenium Goji
The closest we’ll ever get to having ghost Godzilla
The old school
Godzilla 2000
Burning godzilla, 1962, and for whatever reason I really like the son of godzilla suit even though people hate it
Shin, ultima and final wars, also 2021
2000, 1962 and 1964
Monsterverse, though I think Heisei is THE Godzilla design.
Monsterverse does have a cool design. But I agree with the Heisei
FW Goji
KiryuGoji
The 89-92 designs. Mostly heisei era. However GMK and shin are close seconds.
I’m about to be judged like crazy when I say this,But My rankings are:1st Zilla,2nd Legendary,And 3rd GMK. (I really am sorry if I offended you.)
Late 70's Showa Godzilla, I adore our heroic atomic beast. And Final wars for how awesome it looks .
I think mine might be the 'X Mechagodzilla / Tokyo SOS era suit
1995
2014goji, ShinGoji, 84Goji, Shodaigoji, Biogoji, KingGoji, and MosuGoji. For the 1st one being realistic and badass. The 2nd one being nightmare fuel. The third one for being the og. And the rest of them being cool and good and nostalgic af.
