Mine has to be Legendary's Godzilla.
He just has a well-rounded overall structure and presence that I really dig. His design is wonderfully simple yet nuanced, his weight and feel are perfect, and his overall style and character are quite striking to me.
To me, he represents the kind of design process that should go towards a modern Godzilla. Harken back to core design philosophies while making changes that don't necessarily change facets of the ideology and story of the character.
He just looks really damn good. He's large and imposing, yet also has a naturalistic look that simply fits the character.
My favorite is Heisei Godzilla. He looks the best in my opinion, and it’s what came out when I was growing up, so there’s that too.
Donzilla55: Agreed. I like the Heisei era Godzilla the most (although the millienuim series were not bad, my second favorite design, well, for the Tokyo S.O.S version anyway). The Heisei series have the proportions just right. His head shape and size, his spikes and tail, were the right proportions that adds up to a great design. Although the 1985 version had his head too big, but this was corrected in Godzilla vs Biollante.

Heisei Godzilla was my favorite until Legendary redesigned big G. In all honesty, I am loving the look of KOTM Goji so far, more so than G'14. Not to sound cliche, but I think KOTM Goji will have my vote for all time favorite.

My also is the Legendary Godzilla, he has a good and outstanding design as the next generations of Godzilla franchises, such as the Legendary Godzilla design is give a description of the Balancer and the Mother Nature Protector

I love Legendary goji, but GMK goji has a special place for me, hence my name
Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.

I have to say it's '93 for me. He's the perfect Godzilla to me. My second fave is '95, then probably Tokyo S.O.S. or '54 for sheer classic-ness. The 60s and 70s Godzillas are awesomely cheesy. Actually they're all awesome. The only ones I don't like are GINO, (who really doesn't count) Shin (I can't get used to the bowling pin shape. or the purple breath. or the fact that he looks like bacon. I could go on, but I digress) I'm not a fan of GMK Goji in execution, though I like the initial design: the dinosaur-like stance was a cool idea. I'm not comfortable with his white eyeballs.

The Showa Godzilla goes through such a diverse, varied development that I feel he best represents all facets of the character. From nightmare fuel to a seasoned superhero, the Showa Godzilla encompassed just about everything that makes Godzilla what he is.
As far as static interpretations go, Heisei comes next. I'm not a huge fan of the 1990s movies, but I did like the design and execution.

The EXACT one featured here. KiryuGoji. Hands down the best and Definitive Godzilla and design.

Mine are GMK, KiryuGoji, FinalWarsGoji, HeiseiGoji ('91 and '95), LegendaryGoji (2014 and 2019), and (as a guilty pleasure) '98 [also known as Zilla].

In terms of design, the 2002 design, but my favorite Godzilla incarnation is probably the Legendary one.


The OG Godzilla and Legendary, but I haven't seen enough of the movies from the other series. I actually have a bit of a soft spot for the 1998 one.... BUT AS IT'S OWN KAIJU NOT FRIGGIN GODZILLA!!!!! It is Zilla, not Godzilla. I wish they could find a way to bring Zilla into the Monsterverse. Maybe as Godzilla's child..... somehow... or just as an ancestor to Godzilla's species. It'd be really cool. Still, not as good as any of the movies I've seen from ANY of the series.
If people weren't lazy, we wouldn't try to be efficient. If we weren't efficient, we'd never get anything done.


Probably KiryuGoji. Best design imo.

Legendary and Heisei.
Pure Masterpieces in both character and design. They even have something akin to character development!
Best villains too. Biollante, The Destroyer, King Ghidorah, Kong...Just magnificent.
They'are also the most powerful, by far. The only one that comes close is Final Wars Godzilla, which is amazing in his own right.

1. Legendary, because whats not to love.
2. Gojira1954, because he is the original.
3. 1998/Zilla. With more love Zilla could have been a palentologically correct Godzilla since Godzilla is supposed to be a dinosaur afterall and they should have gave him all of godzilla's iconic powers.
4. Heisei, because he looks better than most of the showa era godzillas, in my opinion anyways.
5.2000, I like the reptilian look and the spikey spines.

Yes, I was saying that is my favorite version.

I love Legendary's but all time favorite is the Heisei era Godzilla. Then GMK, then Legendary.



Mine is The heisi series and incarnations after that but Godzilla 2019 has to be the best one yet I can't wait to see what their going to do in Godzilla vs Kong.
Godzilla has destroyed logic (1973)

KOTM Godzilla has taken the place of favourite godzilla design for me but until recently my favourite was GMK because he just looks extremely menacing

1.) Legendary (2019)
2.) Heisei
3.) Legendary (2014) The dorsal fins make all the difference
4.) Millenium
5.) GMK

Bandwagon or not, GMKgoji is my preferred Godzilla by far. Him being an amalgamation of vengeful spirits is wholly original, and his return to full fledged villain was much needed for the series at that time I think.

KONG IS KING

That's a tough question. Gotta pick out of, what, 33 movies or so. It's a toss-up between Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla Tokyo SOS. But I'm going to go with Tokyo SOS. His teeth are not so pronounced. I do miss his original ROAR in the last 2 movies but it was a thrill of a lifetime to film on the Godzilla King Of The Monsters, even if all our work was cut.

My Favorite Incarnation would have to go to Gojira 91! Powerful! Mean! Ruthless! he just has that look that makes him the best looking godzilla!



My favorite is and always will be Showa but got a soft spot for Godzilla 90's because he was almost always my main game Kaiju I'd play as
And legendary is epic
Minor soft spot for Godzilla 98 only for its tv series loved watching that on the tv

Mine would possibly be the legendary Godzilla it would be because of the changes from its design to the roar. Now having a bulky armored body and the new spikey dorsal plates and finally the new awsome roar of the legendary Godzilla. But I also like the Heisei cause of the design with a large bulky body of the Heisei Godzilla. So yeah I like the Heisei and Legendary Godzilla.

My favorite incarnation of the big G is 1975 from terror of mechagodzilla.... I know that Godzilla vs Megalon, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, and Terror of Mechagodzilla all use the same suit, but they all had changes to the face and to me the 1975 face was absolutely the best!!! I love that they made it look more menacing and I love how the body is shaped suited for combat. The only flaw I see is it should have more big plates on the back but other than that it's my favorite!!! I also love the legendary 2019 version as well!!! I love all incarnations of the big G except the one from Son of Godzilla, that one is UGLY and the 1998 doesn't even count to me!!! So there, my number one is 1975, number 2 is 2019, and the rest to me are equal except the one from son of godzilla..... lol Oh yeah, not really a fan of shin godzilla, the arms and tail kill it for me. If the arms were bigger and the tail wasn't as long that one would be a good one just as equal but those flaws to me make it bad, it's still better than the 1998 and son of godzilla incarnations. The legendary Godzilla is just a powerhouse and looks super massive!!! Looks like he means business, and the 1975 one is just my favorite, terror of mechagodzilla is my favorite godzilla movie as well so it might be kinda biased!!!
