Godzilla Series Rewatch
#6 Godzilla vs Monster Zero
or Invasion of the Astro Monster
etc I think I might approach this one a little differently than the others. I like the monster action in this movie well enough, what there is of it. I'm a little torn on Godzilla's celebratory dance after chasing off Ghidorah in the rigged first round – sometimes I can roll with it, other times it feels just a little too silly. I do however always like Godzilla's overly flashy footwork when fighting Ghidorah at the end of the movie, and the finishing move where Rodan just grabs Godzilla to pull off a combo-attack that was almost certainly not consented to is fun.
Some of the comedy actually works, like when Planet X's controller is doing his monologue, turns around and finds the astronaut guys gone. There's also some unintentional humor, I like the voice over on old grainy stock photos of riots explaining how crazy things got without really showing much and then the office building or whatever in the scene immediately after is just randomly and lightly damaged to try and convince the audience that the world went nuts after Planet X sent its magnetic tape audio recording demanding surrender. The effects can be just funny, I have bad vision and from Gojira to Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster I haven't seen the wires without looking for them and getting lucky, in this movie I catch them quite often without looking for them. The alien ships are so simple and dorky looking it's funny.
I feel relatively confident calling this one the silliest of all Godzilla alien invasion movies, and that's not something to say lightly. It seems to be without much explanation but as soon as the heroes work out their plan to counter-attack the aliens their computers start going crazy prompting them to not let the heroes scheme and move the invasion ahead. I don't get how they knew, but it's sort of fun, “Heroes are up to something.” “Not on my watch!”
Now on to cons: I kind of hate this movie as a direct follow up to Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster. It cheapens Ghidorah immediately, turning him into a tool right away and it discounts Mothra's contribution in that fight, saying that she was never needed to repel Ghidorah. It's probably not an extreme claim to make given that the larval stage is not really that impressive, but it still feels like a slight.
Planet X is so bad at being sneaky it veers between being annoying and kind of funny, the characters repeatedly comment that they seem off – at least in English, I goofed up the menu options with this movie. Showing up to grab Godzilla and Rodan before Earth can give an answer for starters, and then there's still outrage when the alien “miracle cure” is just orders to accept that Planet X is taking over.It's kind of weird that the aliens are apparently powerful enough to simply abduct Godzilla and Rodan without much incident and control King Ghidorah but still treat them as major weapons. Freeing the monsters is even a priority to stop the alien invasion, even though that simple abduction makes it seem like the aliens don't have anything to fear from a kaiju attack. Which is also kind of annoying because the monsters are supposed to be the stars of these films, not just cameos with little relevance. Yeah, far from the only Godzilla movie to be susceptible to this line of criticism. I don't really get why they felt the need to deceive the human characters for so long, but it is what it is.

Titan History: Godzilla
Welcome once again to Monarch: After Dark, the digital gateway between you and the organisation dedicated to understanding and navigating this troubled new world we live in.
For today's communication, it was decided by Monarch officials stationed at Castle Bravo (Outpost 54) that we should create an updated historical account on arguably the most recognisable and infamous of the Titans we currently know of; Godzilla.
Tumblr media
(Pictured above: aerial footage of Godzilla leaving San Francisco the morning after G-Day, circa. 2014)
Monarch Database File: Godzilla
Monarch Designation: Titanus Gojira
Height: 393 feet
Weight: 99,634 tons
Length: 582 feet (tail)
Nature: Bio-Atomic
Behavioural Classification: Protector
---------------
A member of an ancient reptilian species that was known to exist as early as the Permian period, Godzilla serves as a guardian of the natural order, rising from the depths whenever the balance of the world is threatened, be it by other Titans or by humanity. Newfound information has revealed that, at some point in their early history, the Titanus Gojira species waged war against a population of great apes within the Hollow Earth. The outcome was victory for the former, while the latter migrated to a surface landmass that would become Skull Island, where they would face near-extinction.
Throught the millenia, imagery of these Titans showed their defense of humanity against other Titans, including the seemingly extraterrestrial lifeform, "Monster Zero". These battles were documented well, immortialised in the form of cave paintings and tales passed down through the generations.
Tumblr media
(Pictured above: Cave painting documenting a battle between Godzilla and Monster Zero, circa. 1973)
While much of the history surrounding the individual we know today as Godzilla is unknown, his modern history is far clearer. First discovered in 1954 by founding Monarch figures William Randa, Keiko Muira and Leland Shaw, the initial reaction to the Titan's existence was an attempt to kill it using a nuclear weapon. Covered up as the Castle Bravo nuclear test, it was believed that Godzilla had been killed until he resurfaced a year later in Hateruma Island.
His next widely documented appearance was the infamous G-Day in 2014. Tracking down a mating pair of Titanus Jinshin-Mushi (aka MUTOs), Godzilla battled and eventually killed them in San Francisco, though not without extensive damage done to the city and the Golden Gate Bridge beforehand. Months later, he battled with a Jinshin-Mushi Prime, which resulted in the Prime destroying his dorsal plates before she, too, was killed.
According to Keiko Muira, and her grandchildren Cate and Kentaro Randa, who were recovered on Skull Island in 2017 through an "in-between" realm linking the surface to the Hollow Earth, Godzilla responded to a Gamma Radiation Simulator abandoned in the 1960's and battled a large dragon-like creature before they were able to escape. Their account is currently under Monarch investigation.

(Pictured above: Godzilla using an "intimidation display" in front of Monarch's Castle Bravo crew, circa. 2019)
In 2019, a mass Titan outbreak instigated by eco-terrorist Alan Jonah and Monarch paleobiologist Emma Russell called Godzilla to action once again. He first appeared in front of Castle Bravo, where he prepared to attack before the outpost lowered its weapons and calmed him down. He made way to Antarctica, where Monster Zero had recently been awakened. The two battled before the latter Titan retreated.
They clashed again off the coast of Isla de Mara, Mexico, where Godzilla succeeded in tearing off one of Monster Zero's heads. Before this battle could end, likely in Godzilla's favour, the military deployed an experimental superweapon called the Oxygen Destroyer, which severely weakened Godzilla and allowed Monster Zero to escape and regenerate its missing head before usurping control over Earth's Titans.
Their final battle took place in Boston following an evacuation of the city. Godzilla had support from an ally Titan known as Mothra to battle Monster Zero and its own ally, Rodan. The battle ravaged much of Boston, and culminated in Godzilla being dropped from the troposphere and Mothra being killed by a powerful blast from Monster Zero. With some assistance from Monarch and a final gift from Mothra, Godzilla achieved a heightened state of power and caused a thermonuclear explosion that destroyed Boston, and Monster Zero.
Following the battle, other Titans gathered around and bowed before Godzilla, accepting him as their new alpha. In the interim between this and the next major incident, Godzilla would travel the globe and keep other Titans, such as Scylla and Amhuluk, in check.
Tumblr media
(Pictured above: Godzilla surrounded by other Titans, bowing down and accepting his claim as the alpha Titan, circa. 2019)
Following a period of minimal Titan activity, Godzilla suddenly surfaced in Pensacola, Florida and destroyed an Apex Cybernetics facility before returning to the depths. In response to this, a joint operation between Monarch and Apex went underway to use another Titan, Kong, to track down an energy source that would give humanity the edge over Godzilla before he could hurt more people.
Godzilla and Kong clashed twice. Their first battle took place in he Tasman Sea, where Godzilla intercepted a naval fleet transporting Kong to Antarctica. This encounter was short-lived, and only a last-ditch effort by ex-Monarch agent Nathan Lind prevented Kong from being killed. Their second brawl in Hong Kong placed Kong on better footing, armed with an axe he obtained within the Hollow Earth, though Godzilla still prevailed and nearly killed Kong.
However, deception from Apex allowed them to siphon the energy from the Hollow Earth into a secret anti-Titan weapon, Mechagodzilla. After losing control of the mecha, it went on a rampage and battled a weary Godzilla nearly to death before a resuscitated Kong intervened. Working together, the two Titans triumphed over Mechagodzilla and parted ways without further conflict.

---------------
And there you go! A simplified but up-to-date account of Godzilla's modern history. We will upload more information regarding him as we are authorized to do so by Monarch officials. We hope you have learned something from this historical account, and we will be back shortly with new information.
Until next time,
Monarch: After Dark
