Godzilla-tober Movie Streams: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 · 7:44am Oct 20th, 2015
A future hero is born! er... hatches.. Well it's time for Azusa to bust out the baby album and tell the origin of Junior! This movies, like many in the Heisei series, went through considerable changes over the pre-production with the script. Many removed elements like Mechagodzilla being tank-like and a combination of multiple machines, as well as Senior going nuclear in the end and Junior ascending from it; were retooled for later movies. The tank-like combiner look for Mechagodzilla (still visible in some early poster art like here) was reused in for the machine's successor, M.O.G.U.E.R.A. Likewise, the plot line of Junior rising to the throne was saved for the last movie in the Heisei saga.
That early poster art is freaking BADASS!
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 has been one of my favorite Godzilla movies, and still is.
Just to make sure I got my clocks and shit right, this stream starts 3:00 PM Arizona (Cow) time, yes?
3484032 Yes
3484032
Yes that should be right
3484032 Yep.
We see the adorableness that is Godzilla Jr.
I hope this is as fun as last night was, but then again, last night was my first time on these streams...
Also, random question: Does Tarb do this every year?
3484668 This is the first time.
Sad that this was Azusa Gojo's only film appearance. She should have appeared in the last Heisei one.
To continue my ideas about Zilla JR: One of the current political debates is whether to give Zilla JR official US citizenship. Much of the GOP Establishment, Corporate Democrats, and religious Right is terrified of the idea of Zilla running for office, maybe even the presidency (he was born in NYC after all).
