A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.

MemberMothra LarvaeMay-26-2020 10:12 AMI first liked Godzilla when watching Godzilla final wars at the time I was 7 years old and was in grade 1. At that time I was very bored watching shark and crocodile movie and finally my father bought a Godzilla VCD final 2 pieces. While I was watching I was very impressed with Godzilla.Has a very good atomic breath, strength, agility, and intelligence in fighting

MemberMothra LarvaeMay-29-2020 7:04 PMI became a fan because my brother passed down his figures to me and I just started to like Godzilla as a Whole, Even through the madness we call Zilla I stay with Godzilla and will continue to for as long as I live. Also My favorite Godzilla designs are 1954, 1964, and 2001 those are not it but that doesn't really matter. The First Godzilla Movie I've seen was Godzilla 2000 and that movie continues bringing back memories. I was 4 when I became a big fan and that's it for now.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-28-2020 10:21 PMI saw my first Godzilla movie probably when i was maybe 6-7 years old back in the 60's on Chilly Billy Theater late night in Pittsburgh pa. Fell in love with Godzilla and brought up nephews and my own son in it and they all love him.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-30-2020 4:11 PMGrowing up I was first introduced to Godzilla through the Shogun Warriors toyline (Jumbo Machinders in Japan). Godzilla and Rodan were included in the line. However the main characters in the line were Raydeen, Great Mazinga, Daimos, Gaiking and Dragun. My parents got me the Shogun Godzilla for Christmas. It was one of my favorite toys growing up.
Also around this time I was captivated by the Godzilla Comicbook published from Marvel. Issue #3 was my first introduction to Marvel Comicbooks. This particular issue had the Champions facing off against Godzilla. This was one of the books that got me interested in reading comics as well.
I watched most of the Showa Era films growing up as well as Godzilla 1985.
Also was lucky to get the Godzilla NES game on the original Nintendo.

I was a big King Kong fan having seen it on TV when I was quite you. More so than Godzilla (which I had also seen on TV), but seeing this at the drive-in at 8 years old. Godzilla + Kong in color!! I was hooked.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-14-2021 10:50 AMI started to become a Godzilla fan since I was 13 years old. I love the king of the monsters himself. I love it how he protects the humans from any villain that has threatened the human race. Go Godzilla. I love him.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-25-2021 11:11 AMIt always fascinated me seeing all these crazy monsters, and seeing new ones with each old movie I found. I instantly fell in love with the designs, Especially Rodan, Gigan, and King Ghidorah. It was the New Monsterverse Movies that really Revived my love for the franchise, and I love the direction that the series is taking. Visually, at least.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-25-2021 5:10 PMI still remember when I was a kid like around 6 or 7 years old. The first Godzilla movie I've seen was Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (the 91 film). "Yeah I started in the Heisei era" Although I didn't see the whole movie at the time. I was changing channels on my TV and came across the scene where Godzilla was fighting Mecha King Ghidorah. After seeing that fight I instantly became a godzilla fan at an early age. I bought the toys or asked my mom to buy me Godzilla toys lol. Even now as an adult I feel like my fandom for Godzilla has grown over the years. I actually got back into collecting the figures even figures I use to have as a kid. I also collect the movie posters, Statues and merch. I actually want to have my own godzilla themed room one day.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-25-2021 7:07 PMHello. I've been a kaiju fan for years, starting in grade school with Sunday afternoon Godzilla films, Rodan on VHS, and the late 70's Kong. Loved them all, loved the remakes, but something got me into apes so I'm all for Kong this time around. Glad to see this finally coming to fruition.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-25-2021 7:13 PMBeing into mythological beasts and legendary monsters, and the films from Universal, I had books on the subject, one of which had Godzilla versus King Kong. Made me pay more attention when my father watched old Godzilla movies on Sunday afternoons. Then owning Rodan and King Kong on VHS had us playing with plastic dinosaurs and gorillas, reenacting battles from the screen. Was thrilled with Peter Jackson's Kong, and Shin Godzilla. These Legendary films are a brilliant addition to the legacy of these monsters.

MemberGiganFeb-10-2021 12:34 PMI was hooked after watching the trailer for Godzilla: King Of The Monsters. High stakes, giant monsters, brilliant visual effects, Millie Bobby Brown, and watching Kong: Skull Island was enough to hook me on. And I liked KOTM! And Godzilla Vs Kong looks awesome, so now I'm extra-hooked!

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-13-2021 8:43 AMWell where else would you find fans rooting for the monsters? I guess everywhere nowadays! Seriously though, it is about the myth, the monsters and the story behind the character that made me a huge Goji fan! and I love monster (kaiju) movies and to me Godzilla is the King of the Monsters!!

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-14-2021 1:12 AMMy first Godzilla experience was with 1998 Godzilla in NYC. When it came out and was put on TV, I was probably 5 years old at that point. My dad and I would watch all the time and after the movie ended, I’d ask to rewatch it. I learned shortly after that there were other/older movies with other monsters. I was hooked since.

MemberMothra LarvaeFeb-18-2021 7:51 AMIt all started on December 25th 2014 or 2015 when I got a toy of Godzilla 2014 and the Godzilla 2014 movie I loved the movie I was a King Kong fan until I watched Godzilla 2014 then I got Godzilla vs Hedorah, then Godzilla King of the Monsters, then Godzilla 2000, then Godzilla final Wars with Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S. I wouldent be a Godzilla fan without Godzilla 2014.
