How Godzilla Stopped Being Scary

This is it. Every retrospective I’ve made on the Showa era Godzilla films, all in one place. From Godzilla (1954) to Terror Of Mechagodzilla (1975), plus a full deep-dive into the 1973 TV series Zone Fighter. This is a full-on supercut, one big journey through the wildest, weirdest, and most influential era in kaiju cinema.

Across these films, we see Godzilla evolve from tragic metaphor to superhero dad to full-on wrestling champion. We get alien invasions, giant bugs, environmental themes, robot doubles, and that unforgettable dropkick in Godzilla vs. Megalon. And yes, Zone Fighter's here too... because no Showa rewatch is complete without him crashing the party.

Whether you grew up on these movies or you’re just discovering them, this retrospective covers the full picture: the behind-the-scenes chaos, the shifting tones, the monsters who showed up once and never again, and why this era still hits decades later.

Thanks for watching and if you're into Godzilla, kaiju, or old-school tokusatsu, consider subscribing!
