8 Responses to GODZILLA – The many monsters of . . . a delightful illustration
Thanks for asking, I was wondering that myself, but I never took time to look. . . . now, being that you’ve brought it up, I looked it up.
Apparently, the first Godzilla movie released in the USA was not really called “Godzilla” . . . anyhow, it was double billed with Elvis’s flick “Harum Scarum” and since Godzilla was called “King of the Monsters” and Elvis is “The King” . . .some circles started referring to Godilla as Elvis . . . I guess the guy who did this little illustration is playing to that inside joke.
That isn’t just kaiju (monsters) from Godzilla movies, it has many from other series as well (as a rule, series don’t cross [with the single exception of Godzilla vs King Kong]). Gamera and his foes are listed, and certain one-offs are also listed (X, Yog, Yongary, Gargantua). Yongary is apparently Korean. Cute and all, but it would be better if what movies they were from were listed to prevent confusion.
elvis is a monster that godzilla fights thats just like him but bigger and a different shade of green… thats why mechazilla is mechaelvis on this… in one of the zilla movies it shows viras give godzilla an alien chip on his head when godzilla fights mechaelvis godzilla turns into a realy strong white and gret and silver spiked alien godzilla
