COMPARISON: GxM and GxMG

[Godzilla40000]

I say that the GxMG godzilla is realy strong but, GxM godzilla is better!:)

[Mecha74]

IMO GxM Goji all the way. I just think he's tougher, stronger, more aggressive, and has better regen.

[MirrenDono]

Strength never really made a huge factor with me on a Godzilla. Kiryu Goji, my favorite Godzilla look of all. I like how he looks like King Goji, and even as he kept the huge spines from Mire and Gira Goji, he got the classic blue beam back *which was very nasty* and the charcoal hide. Gira looked too different in a way. I like the guy, but not a whole lot. His skin was practically olive, and his spines were like a salmon color *i.e, pink* Then, I mean, the red beam just isn't the same, and that's the one thing I didn't like about Mire Godzilla

It's just a little dissappointment to me that Kiryu Godzilla had to be in such a mediocre film *though Kiryu-Mosu-Goji had a far better one, and I like him just the same*

[Showa Mothra #1]

GxMG is better, but GxM is just as entertaining as that movie.

[Mecha74]

GxM Goji may be my favorite from a power standpoint, but I like the design of GxMG Goji better from head to toe, especially the head.

[Cookson]

GxM godzilla was cool but the design of the GxMG godzilla was cooler.

[kent]

This like asking what is your favorite fruit: apples or oranges? Title should have said favorite instead of best actually.

Anyways, now that I got my daily useless rant out of the way, I must say this is a toughy, but I have always like the GxM (or G2K as I prefer to classify it as) Godzilla the best. It has always been one of my favorite Godzilla designs. It looks so fierce and dangerous. An awesome ray and some long sharp-looking claws for once! It's just different enough that I find a lot of class in it. I do like the other one as well, but I look at it as a kind of rehash off of the G2K Godzilla. That's my pick.

[Shin lvl2 Goji]

Both versions are excellent designs, GxM Goji not only looks cool but was combat effective, doing fast moves while still having those huge spines which must've been tough for the actor. GxMG Goji though not only looks cool, has a more classic stance, look and the blue fire was definitely a welcome thing, but his overall manner is cool too. The way his spines crackle just before he breathes his thermonuclear doom on his enemies is awesome. Plus you never know when it's going to happen, the spines crackle with blue energy and you can never tell the second he's going to release it. His face looks fierce especially in the shot where Kiryu is descending in the first battle and Godzilla's tail goes up and down in the background. The look on his face is so animalistic. So both Godzillas have cool designs but GxMG has more unique things about it.

[ShawntallicA]

I'm gonna have to go with the Godzilla portrial used in the G Extermination Command. While the design of the suit isn't as good as the one used later on in the Kiryu Saga, I can't argue the fact that Godzilla's first appearance in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla had no real personality and was actually more robotic in a sense than the machine he battled against.

The early MireGoji had a great attitude and personality about him, and I really liked how Tezuka used the monster in his first outing in the Millennium Series. He had a seriousness about him, but it didn't stop Tezuka from doing classic 'goof-ball' antics with Godzilla, namely the giant splash and hilarious head shaking when he got up from the rubble. Little things like that give Godzilla a sense of realism because he showed personality, not just standing around getting shot at. If only the first suit used in the Kiryu Saga had more mobility, then there would be no competition... but because of it, it left the later Godzilla very bland.... That was until Tokyo S.O.S., where his portrial was absolutely perfect, easily my favorite movie of the new series thus far.... which could change upon viewing of Final Wars.

[Megabyte]

^ He took the words right outta my mouth!

Even though I like both films, the GiraGoji just had more personality and a better sense of power and awe than the KiryuGoji who didn't really seem to serve a purpose through out the film other than to get shot at and look completely clueless.

[Showa Godzilla]

I prefer GxMG Godzilla.I never liked the purple colored Spikes,or the Red Atomic Breath that Mire Goji had.Kiryu Goji looked better,had a cooler Beam,and IMO was more Powerful.

[Godzilla40000]

Well, Im glad that so many people have come! Anyway I have just bought GxM, and I still say that the GxM goji is better than the GxMG goji. GxM goji had more personality and used his spikes to good use ( see the final battle bettwen goji and megagurias). I also liked the redis, yellow atomic ray. it was a nice chage. Now dont get me wrong! I still like the GxMG goji, but I just like the GxM goji better.;)

[Grand Godzilla]

More powerful? Well not quite. Godzilla beam had the power, it move a black hole, which is quite a remarkable feat. In HTH combat it also seems that Godzilla (GXM) is a better fighter. Its smarter too. Godzilla (GXMG) is a cool kaiju and all but it acts more like an animal and lacks in HTH combat, and it has a farly good beam. Not to mention that is has incredible regenerative powers.

Though I prefer Godzilla (GXM). It is my most favorite Kaiju of all time. It has almost powerful beams ever and rivals the HTH combat of Godzilla (Showa). Regenerates very quickly and is a very smart kaiju.

[biochemitra]

giragoji had the best design IMO. it took the best elemnts of mire goji and made them better! I love the way they did his head, the way it actually looks reptilian. and of course the jagged purple fins, sharper claws and spikey alligator hide was cool. the only complaint I have is that hi beam SUCKED! it could barely kill meganura and took several shats just to make megaguirus look charred. which is why
I like kiryu goji best. it resembles gira goji but has a cooler beam. love the way blue fire bursts out when he uses it.

[Gorgozilla]

I prefer GXM, mainly due to the shape of the head. Also, he has a tougher attitude and doesn't seem as quick to run from fights. His beam fried Megaguiras when it finally hit her- he just had trouble doing that because she was so fast. I like Kiryu Godzilla's beam, though. I do like both Godzillas, just like GXM a little better.

[Morgoth]

I dislike both of them. They are both victims of a design that I dislike greatly - every movie I see the icicle spikes in makes me dislike it just a little bit more, it is too great a departure from the basic Godzilla design which I felt was perfected in the later Heisei entries. I also hate how they are employed in the films - rather than these vastly powerful engines of destruction, these forces of nature they are presented as these lumbering, witless lummoxes incapable of doing more than react to whatever is thrown at them. There is no sense of initiative about them, no sense that anything at all is going on behind those lustreless eyes. GxM, I still find to be an awful film, every viewing of it simply throws its problems into greater prominence for me, and its presentation of Godzilla, terrible fight scene direction and catalog of campy retro-Showa combat moves makes for an excruciating ordeal. Tezuka, fortunately, got better with every film, GxMG, for instance, has only one big flaw - that being its treatment of Godzilla, but everything else was very solid.

Now, the Kiryu saga Godzilla was presented in a much more satisfying manner in GMMG, showing that Tezuka had recognised his error in GxMG and corrected it. If that Godzilla were being discussed, I'd be more prone to giving a vote, design aside, he's a serviceable Godzilla. But of the two choices given, I'd have to abstain rather loudly with the statement that I loathe both of them - real low points in Godzilla's career.

[PyrasTerran]

I'm curious, Morgoth, what exactly are the aspects between GXMG and SOS Godzillas that make you incline to prefer SOS Goji?

[MirrenDono]

^ Well, personally, I'm the same

Kiryu-Mosu-Goji seems to be a lot more fierce, and not so weak, you finally get a true sense of terror from him. He literally rips off one of Mothra's legs and sends her flying into a building, he doesn't change his position from that huge blast of Mothra's explosion powder. He takes down Mechagodzilla in only two beams, and the tail-sweep to beam attack is one of the coolest, most devestating things we've ever seen in a film. Goji here seems like far more of a threat, and can take down his foes with simply one beam half the time.

That, and he almost seems evil. When Mothra's down and out, can't fight back at all, he blows away her children. And as she lies there in extreme pain, he attacks her and her children. So bad that Goji kills her right before her offspring. While he's still just animalistic, he seems to have so much gaul that he'll still attack a defenseless creature and eradicate her before her own children.

In both feel, power, and personality, Kiryu-Mosu-Goji seems to be better than just Kiryu Goji.

[Godzilla40000]

morgoth, I hate to say that the heise godzilla deisgn is good , but it was good for the 90. The new godzilla suits are more slim and more reptelian than the heise suits. Also I did not realy like the cat look on the head in the front views.

[Archaic_Avenger]

i like Godzilla X Meggaguirus better. i thought it was a great movie, though mostly since i love dragonflies, and have wanted to see one as a kaiju for quite a while.

as for the suit, i like it okay. it does stray from the original, but as long as they're not saying that this is the origninal, i think its fine to use it. my only problem is the atomiv breath being red and yellow instead of blue. blue was what made Godzilla more than a fire breathing dinosaur, he was a atomic-fire breathing dinosaur, which was made apparent by the fact that his beam was blue instead of a firey red and yellow. but now seeing his beam changed to yellow red is too much, to far, and to close to fire. a white beam, i'd be fine with, but not yellow and red. besides, scientifically, a blue beam is stronger than a red or yellow beam.

Rodan2000

edit: okay, upon seeing that the title of this thread was which GODZILLA is better, not which MOVIE is better, i can now say that i agree with Morgoth completely. while i dont loath the suit design, it just didn't seem truly Godzilla. and as said above, the beam especially didn't. that was probably my first thought when i saw G2k in the theatre, "where's the blue breath!"
but as for the suit, i like it okay, but i'd rather the spines be a more bubbly and rounded, blue, and the face be more blunted instead of pointed. that's the way i like it. so the suit design i like better: GxMG, seeing as how its pretty close, minus the spikes being to spiky and snout being to pointy.

[Kiryu goji]

I also prefer the Kiryu saga Goji. Afterall why else would I call myself Kiryu goji? (ok, so it was also the newest suit when I joined, but I also quite like it). Blue breath is back, Godzilla's dorsal fins are bone white, skin is dark black, ray is blue (though G2k's beam wasn't bad, I simply prefer Blue beams), head is demonic. I think that the GMMG suit came off even better, but that's not the subject of this forum now is it?

[Saruman]

You do realise that the "color coding" you are basing your judgement on, is based on FIRE and not radiation/atomic/nuclear energy.

[Gojira2000]

I really like both version of Goji.

GXM Goji: This one most closely resembles the G2000 suit, which I like very much. However, in some ways it I liked the face on the G2000 Goji better, and although the GXM Goji seemed to have more moviblilty then the latter,.... anyway. The atomic ray of this Goji though really seems less powerful then the last one, causing only sparks to fly and little over all destruction.

GXMG Goji: Now, this is clearly a more powerful and far stronger version. I really like the dorsel spines on this suit, especially the way they kind of tilt forward a little. The atomic ray here is very nice and one of the most powerful I've ever seen. However, he often to stiff, preticually in GMMG, and especially in the way of hand and arm movement. He's head over all is nice, but I'm not really a big about the way the nose points down and corves; it almost makes him look like a bird.... (well, I guess from a dinosaur stand point that a good thing:laugh: ).

I guess it's a tie.... no, wait, I'd have to say the GXMG goji... no, wait a moment... oh why must I chose?!... yeah, the heck with it, I'll with the GXMG goji.... I think.....

[Archaic_Avenger]

You do realise that the "color coding" you are basing your judgement on, is based on FIRE and not radiation/atomic/nuclear energy.
not fire, light, and any kind of rays or beams. this would include lightsabers and blaster beams. its part of the rainbow. when you put the white light through a prism, and it starts with red, then orange, yellow, green, blue, and finally purple. then what we as humans cant see are colors like infrared (below red) and ultraviolet (above violet). in the way of beams, lasers, and other stuff like that, both real and sci-fi, they're weakest starting with red, and strongest ending with purple. my teacher used to specific examples, and that was the star wars lightsabers, and Godzilla's beam. this was the one thing i remembered from science class that year.

[Godzilla40000]

I have just wachted GXMG aigan and I must admit, I LIKE GXMG GOJI BETTER! but Istill like the GXMGOJI degsn.

[anguirus55]

GxM Godzilla is a lot of fun to watch, and is more powerful, but I prefer the GxMG Godzilla. Better colors, great sound effects, and overall just seemed more like *Godzilla*.

[Godzilla40000]

I agree, the GXM goji is cool but the GXMG goji is more powerful and looks more like the classic godzilla with some of the best fetures of the milliniom godzilla mixed in.:D

[Cyndi]

the heise godzilla deisgn is good , but it was good for the 90. The new godzilla suits are more slim and more reptelian than the heise suits. Also I did not realy like the cat look on the head in the front views.

Awww, that's what makes Godzilla almost cute to me. Cute in a mean, scary way :)

I haven't seen all the Millenium movies to form an opinion(don't want to go based off just pictures!), but I'm not fond of the dorsal spines or the spikey stuff on the sides of Godzilla's neck. He looked his best in the Heisei series in my opinion, and that's always the Godzilla I picture when I read fanfiction.

[Steve]

I like the G2K/GvM Godzilla suit best of all. It looks very feirce, very feral and dangerous... love the huge, jagged dorsal fins, too. You can see elements of the KKvG Godzilla in its design- it's clear where the inspiration came from, which is a good thing as I like the KKvG suit.

The Kiryu saga Godzilla... meh. I don't like its downturned snout. Makes it look like Gonzo.

[bloodyarts]

Not a fan of the GxM suit. The pointed snout and immobility of the GxMG suit soured me a little, but overall I prefer it to the bright green, purple-spiked version. Nitpicking here, but I didn't like GxM's feet and front view of his head, either (side view looked good, but the teeth ruined it). Didn't really mind the red fire. Kinda liked it, actually.

Kiryu-goji borrows from previous Godzilla's, and meshes them pretty well. I like the ridged neck from GINO. I like the variation on the thunder spikes (natch!) of G2K Godzilla, and there seems to be some showa influence in the tail. Color scheme is vastly improved, though I felt the roar sounded a bit tinny.

So yeah, GxMG gets my vote.

[Cole Deschain]

Manda!

Oh wait, wrong topic.... Eh. Both could use some serious work.

I favor GXM slightly. GMMG Goji is vastly superior, but GxMG Goji might as well have been a statue for all the life he showed.

[EternalMothra]

I like both of these Godzilla's equally. It has always been hard to pick a favorite out of these two.

[Zardac the Great]

I love both Godzilla suits, but my absolute favorite is the KiryuMosuGoji (tokyo SOS). Tokyo SOS just used a more agile suit than GxMG, so I like that one better, but GxM is my second favorite, followed by the Original Goji.

[Biderbeck]

what put me off on the GMMG suit was the scar on the chest...yeah he lost a big chunk... but if ya didn't look close ya missed it... but Godzilla doesn't scar... GMK suit is my fav... the GxMG suit he looked like a dog GFW looked like a naughty puppy in the face... but having to pick between the 2 i'd go with the gmmg suit because they blended all the othersuits together better in that flick...

[Cyndi]

Scar? I thought that was a wound that hadn't healed yet. At least the dub made it sound that way. >>;
