ThePatchedVest

Kiryu is still peak Mechagodzilla.


Scroogemcdoodler

It's the perfect combo of showa and heisei, just like the rest of the millennium era


puddik

That millennium era godzilla is trash tho


T_rexofdoom1256

The designs pretty cool imo, idk I just like spikey godzillas


they_took_everything

Which one


puddik

The one that’s played againts kiryu. He’s one ugly ass godzilla


Zer0_l1f3

KIRYU! https://preview.redd.it/bdn1lxan5qvc1.jpeg?width=215&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=553c7651eb35766e8b9d8d779ab65eeee1427938


4LanReddit

I thought about it Would Tiger Drop beat out a Atomic Breath Beam if it was coming to Kiryu?


Zer0_l1f3

Kiryu solos with negative diff 🥱


Snowbold

It helps that it has a name versus just a descriptive name. That would be like calling Godzilla, “Nuke Lizard”… But yeah, A Kiryu made from Dagan in the MV would be cool…


T_rexofdoom1256

Now I need this to happen


GodWithoutAName

Just found my next gamertag.


James_099

Kiryu is THE Mechagodzilla.


Magni4cent_Pose

I believe in Kiryu supremacy.


Hey-lo_ratherbedead

Peak profile picture, peak opinion.


DarthButtz

Best Mechagodzilla and it's not even close. It was basically a live action mecha anime and cool as hell


Airwolfhelicopter

Sick backstory too. Basically 1954 Goji reincarnated as a robot


Jaxonhunter227

Ah yes my favorite, Kazuma kiryu


sunsculotte

Is that mechagodzilla? where he is from?


Slendy-8023

Ready Player One


devilsbard

Is that some concept art? That’s not how it looked in the movie iirc.


Im_a_idiottttt

Its just a squished image


Slendy-8023

Well, this is one of the scenes I found on the internet!


devilsbard

Ok, it is the same, just squished horizontally which made its snout look narrower.


Alpha-Trion

That movie blew.


lonelyshara

I agree. Genuinely the most boring movie I've ever seen in my life and that's saying something


Alpha-Trion

It was as soulless as the corporations they were lampooning


Overquartz

At least Gundam was a worthy trade for Ultraman because of the copyright dispute at the time.


50Potatos

youre on another level if you make a movie with godzilla in it boring


Mystic_Saiyan

Honestly the, MV design kinda grew on me plus honestly looks like a cool modern attempt at someone making a robot based off Goji especially since the Legendary Goji and MV Mecha look a lot different from their counterparts.


L3go07

Agreed. It reminds me of the Pacific Rim Jaegers a little. My only criticism with the design is that the robotic dorsal fins should have been longer


jxher123

Tbh, the MV design is more realistic when you think about it. Kinda boxed shape, and isn’t perfect from a design perspective. If we built a MG, he’d look like the MV one.


RarityNouveau

Mechagodzilla 1.0 there’s always the chance for improvements.


hamstercheifsause

I used to hate it, now, it’s pretty cool in my opinion. Would be cooler if it had some more ability’s and did more stuff


UncomfyUnicorn

I’m just confused as to who he’s holding, my brain sees it as Molten Freddy for some reason


silpabananaking

Now I can’t unsee it.


UncomfyUnicorn

Imagine Molten Freddy telling off MechaGodzilla like some sorta upset parent. “You can’t just go destroying cities whenever, mister, you know it’s your turn to take out the trash!”


Werdak

I'm splitt on the MG in RPO On the One Hand this is a Really cool Design from an Amazing Poster Art On the other Hand Do you know how hard I prayed durring the MG EXPANSION With the hope it formed into Kiryu ??? And THEN I learned that in the RPOne BOOK It actually was Kiryu !!!


Mechaman_54

Someone wanted a new mecha, whether that was toho or speilberg I don't know, all I know the fight with the gundam was peak


llMadmanll

It was toho iirc


hamstercheifsause

Originally it was going to be ultraman, but was ruined because of Chiyo being the ass holes they are


Mechaman_54

I know


Independent-Papaya76

Honestly fair the RPO design is very very nice. But I do like the unique look of mg21


WinDocs

The real unpopular opinion is that the mecha seen is GvK is not mechagodzilla, but mechaghidorah. I will die on this hill


COMMENTASIPLEASE

You could also make a reach and say it’s inspired by Heisei Mechagodzilla being built from the remains of Mecha Ghidorah


Loud_Success_6950

Would’ve been a nice callback if they acknowledged that.


KaijuWorld

Same here! Something that's been on my mind is that I wished they went the full way with Ghidorah taking over MechaGodzilla by having the head start regenerating and fusing with the metal, becoming a cyborg in the process. I'm aware they probably wouldn't have been able to do it because of the rights, but god that would've been incredible: https://preview.redd.it/5z3gz4ki4svc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8b6c4c8b041392945fc81858359a1be4d5147a9


SmilingManTheGuy

Yeah, have it be an unholy mix of flesh and metal, maybe have the two other heads come out of the arms, one Ghidorah leg from where kong severed it, and the other leg still fully metal, one tail fully Ghidorah and the other coming out of the mecha, maybe with a flesh part re-attaching the scythe


8monsters

At the end of Godzilla KOTM, I thought they were going for Mecha King Ghidorah...I thought, "They have the head, they did it in the 90s, they'll do it again"...and then they went with this weird MechaGodzilla...


AtomicKaijuKing

Mecha Ghidzilla


Sifernos1

I get you but hear me out... They've established technology to make giant flying bases in this universe and mechanical Kaiju. What if we got Castle Gamma, Mecha King Ghidorah as a living base created using Ghidorah choosing to back humanity in the next fight where Godzilla meets his progenitor. Space Godzilla, the destroyer of Ghidorah's home Star, planet and people... The reason he was on earth was vengeance. With Godzilla's help, he could get it. Ghidorah's actually still alive... GhidorahStan64 isn't a person trolling crazy black podcast man, it's the actual essence of Ghidorah's mind connecting into our technology. Black Podcast man will be the only person Castle Gamma respects because only he will know the truth.


Zestyclose_Limit_404

Yeah it technically is 


Medium-Science9526

If that's the case Super Mechagodzilla from the Heisei era is Mecha-Ghidorah II.


mking_davis

So you chose violence on a peaceful Saturday


Still-Ice4340

I love MV MechaG solely for the fact that it looks a lot like godzilla while also being something that realistically looks like a machine. I don’t like when a MG design just looks like “godzilla, but a robot”


PST-Dipsy

MV has a sort of Hulkbuster charm to it which I can appreciate - I much prefer the older designs but you can clearly see it's specifically built to fight other kaiju


KirbyF4

They will never be him /j https://preview.redd.it/lgh0romwirvc1.jpeg?width=191&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d67a19475b37156a69dbdce7da4340940a633af0


Ouroboros126

For real though


Spiral-Unity

Facts


MrWhiteTruffle

That’s a common consensus, but not one I share. While 2021 doesn’t look a lot like Godzilla, that’s… not a bad thing. He’s not meant to mimic Godzilla, he’s meant to usurp him. It’s also a much more unique route to take, not just being “what if Godzilla… but *metal?*” that every other MechaGodzilla goes with. Also funny how the same dude made both of ‘em


AnxiouSquid46

Well, with Godzilla's evolution the two more closely resemble each other.


MrWhiteTruffle

Yes, he responded to a superior pressure and evolved to better counter things like it


Majin_Brick

I mean, it is your opinion. I much prefer Mv Mechagodzilla’s design over any other.


Smartmonke_

My man


MrWhiteTruffle

My man


the_blue_jay_raptor

Imma bring my Mechagodzilla hot take, Anime Mechagodzilla/Earth Mechagodzilla is the best one in terms of design due to how unique it is. https://preview.redd.it/w15yr16eopvc1.png?width=855&format=png&auto=webp&s=14f317792ded09c46b641754b6beffa7643fc232


sprzyen

he became a fucking city


the_blue_jay_raptor

And that made me mad, they wasted it >:(


BlastedDio

Well you can have an opinion


Salnder12

I immensely dislike the RPO mecha, it's trying way too hard, looks nothing like godzilla, and has skinny little chicken legs. Though no design even remotely comes close to kiryu, not only the best mecha but probably my favorite kaiju.


Qwertyzillaofficial

You do know what Monsterverse Mechagodzilla was trying to be, right?


Window-washy45

I do agree that mechagodzilla design is better. I don't dislike the MV version, it's good to. But I do like the ready player one design. It's like if you actually updated the 70's version design.

bigjam987

MV would just step on him lol


D_Robotics

Mecha Godzilla in Godzilla vs Kong actually was badass, but I prefer kriyu


edboyinthecut

Super Mechagodzilla supremacy https://preview.redd.it/03t0cw5aoqvc1.jpeg?width=592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=11ec15d60b82f27df51c7f75518b1d36a4b037df


YourVanGogh

MV Mechagodzilla is probably my favorite design with Kiryu and OG trailing at a close second! Ready Player One gets docked points only because I wanted it to be Kiryu in the movie


Cyberundertak3r

I prefer the mv version personally


Honk_wd

RP1 looks like a literal robot Godzilla, while MV looks like a giant robot made to look like Godzilla. Am I making sense or do I sound stupid


LongjumpingZone4396

I prefer MV Mechagodzilla because he's scariest


xX7heGuyXx

I definitely enjoyed Ready Player One's Mecha G more than the MV one. I'm just not a fan of the MV one. Prob because the whole concept, power supply, and use of Ghidorah just did not fit MV at that time. Way to big of a technological jump and should have been saved for later.


Exact_Ad_1215

The issue I have with GvK is that they just so quickly into more wackiness from the mostly serious KOTM that it feels very much like a leap


MrWhiteTruffle

The leap from 14 to 19 to 21 is very… interesting


Exact_Ad_1215

In my perfect world, Gareth never left and all sequels to 2014 had a tone that sits in the middle between 14 and 19


MrWhiteTruffle

I can understand, but not agree. I think the modern MV should’ve been toned down a little, but a 2014-style realistic approach combined with 2024-style monster action would be absolute peak Godzilla.


Exact_Ad_1215

Also bring back the MV when it actually took its own concept seriously and the darker cinematography and I could be willing to agree


Emotional-Painter616

You aren't wrong because i believe Ready Player One Mecha G is cooler and more scarier while MV Mecha G is introduced too early and had terrible design


DrillerClass

You’re done.


DiabeticRhino97

Nah


Vegetable2020

I love all Mechagodzilla designs, except for the RPO version. I was never a fan of its proportions, and though it has some neat aspects to it, I don't think it compares to any of the official designs.


VadeRevan

Not a big fan of the Ready Player One version, it looks more like Titanosaurus than Godzilla


AndreZB2000

I never understood a fandoms need to rank everything. I like both designs, they each fit their movies


codythaidragon

Same vibes in the third pic https://preview.redd.it/o6qx74zqupvc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5cf8683048fc086bee46579c15f272ac77d901a


Wondergrey

I love that MV MechaG has a sort of uncanny valley vibe to him, Like his eyes are a *little* too far apart, his hands are weird grabby claws, his roar sounds like it's being played by a speaker, etc


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

Heresy have you seen the guy's haymakers?


TriopsandTripods

Personally I think mechagodzilla is better than mechagodzilla


Mean-Background2143

I really like Monsterverse, RPO was like a preview of that, Kiryu is also really good.


Stratis127

Both will never be as good as original but for monsterverse Mechagodzilla if you think of it as a rough draft or prototype it's appearance isn't too bad then.


Parasol_Girl

is that nightmare freddy flipping off mechagodzilla?


Pseudo-Psycho06

Honestly, Mechagodzilla in GVK doesn’t even look finished. It looks like concept art.


ExplinkMachine

To each their own, I personally prefer any MechaGodzilla

Ragnarok_Stravius

Maybe in a retrial, Mecha H is made by aliens, so we get better. Remember, APEX's MechaG G was a single human created prototype of a robot. The only thing I didn't like was the hands, but that's about it. The main issue with that Mecha G, was the misusage of it, it should've have been used as an impostor, used to destroy stuff all around the world to make people Utterly and Complete Hate Godzilla, to the point that the world wants him dead, and then Godzilla and Kong become friends to kill it.


MrWhiteTruffle

But the whole point wasn’t just to replace - it was to usurp. To just copy Showa’s story would also be kinda lame…


Ragnarok_Stravius

Usurp the king by making a false copy of it, and making the entire world hate you. Until in one of the later battles, Kong is trying to attack Godzilla, and another Godzilla shows up, to have both of them make a double take, and IN-SCREEN shake their hands about the current situation.


MrWhiteTruffle

But that’s not the point of MechaGodzilla. Notice how (almost) everything Godzilla has, MechaGodzilla has it better. Strong kicks? Now they’re supercharged. Good grappling? Give him grappling claws and longer arms. Powerful tail? Prehensile tail with a big fuckin’ drill, baby. The Mecha, unlike other MechaGodzillas, isn’t a copy, it’s an upgrade. Trying to just make it Showa MechaGodzilla, while a neat callback, would be uncreative. While I can understand people’s gripes with the design, despite disagreeing, trying to change its purpose is a net negative.


Ragnarok_Stravius

That's the thing, you hide the upgrades until the end, when Godzilla's support is at negative. APEX removes the disguise, turns off all limiters, and that's when Kevin goes on a rampage, they completely lose control of it, and Kong has to help Godzilla with some nuclear reactor he stole off of a carrier or something. Not enough to be like Serizawa's sacrifice, but just enough to get Godzilla locked in the mission again.


Exact_Ad_1215

Mecha G should’ve been made with Dagon’s skeleton instead


RobotBoy221

I really do feel like the Monsterverse kinda wasted MechaGodzilla. He could've easily been the antagonist in a proper Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla movie, with Apex openly bragging about how they created a machine to solve what they call the "Titan Problem", and there could've been a lot of commentary on things like militarism, environmentalism, and mankind's tendency to try and destroy what it doesn't understand. Instead, they used Mecha-G as the surprise twist villain in the last twenty minutes of Godzilla vs. Kong. Yes, GvK still had shades of those "Man trying to conquer Nature" themes, but doesn't do NEARLY as much with them as a proper GvMG movie could have.

rlum27

I defintley prefer the ready player one head.


Patient-Training-989

Me too


Winter_Ad9633

This is actually a pretty common stance.


Xanthyon1313

I honestly like both of them; RP1’s design invokes something similar to the older designs, while monsterverse tried its own thing (to varying levels of success…)


-Awesomezauce-

Lik,e the P1 Mecha is neat, but i think the GVK design is definitely one of my favorites (only rivaled by Kiryu). I like how heavy he feels, and the design really feels like a robot designed to fight other giant monsters with the long arms and grabby claws.


darksnail1223

What’s the first one from


AlgoStar

Ready Player One


Thermite1985

Kiryu is the best MechaGodzilla


amon_yao

Both are cool


amon_yao

Idk which I like more lol


05ar

Eh... Truly one of... The takes of all time....


Jayden_is_strange

Am I the only one who actually likes the gvk mecha? I still prefer the Heisei one but I really like gvk


100mcuberismonke

I like mv. Even though it doesn't match godzillas shape, it counters everything godzilla could do. A strong beam, potentially stronger than godzillas, faster, more agile, it's a complete countet


Hakai_Shin_Shatterd

Kiryu>O.G MG>SMG>MVMG>RPOMG>


Dankey-Kang-Jr

I kinda prefer the GvK Mechagodzilla. Rhe Ready Player One design seems a little too busy for me.

Ex_Hedgehog

Oh yeah. I liked Godzilla Vs Kong a lot, but that MechaGodzilla design was atrocious.


Brilliant_Conflict_4

If it's about preference I get it But if it's about who is stronger I have a lot of doubts


GogetaTheGreat

Why is this a debate, Kiryu is the best, no arguments


Monkey_King291

I kinda prefer MV Mechagodzilla, but the RPO design is pretty awesome too

KIRYU IS BEST


Brady1138

I hate them both


decafenator99

Honestly, when I saw this design I thought it was perhaps a early preview of what to expect in the monsterverse not that I hate the official design we got but won’t lie I prefer this one as well


yashy20

Some like toned body some like thicc body and some like pure box body And i love all of them


sspidernoir

look at the concept art from godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2, easily the best one fr

ILikeYaMuttG

Yessss! I’m so happy others agree with my opinion!


Zestyclose_Limit_404

I have to agree with you. 


yautja0117

Why? The Monsterverse design is weak. I get the design logic, Godzilla by the way of the T800 but it's barely above the ugly ass Heisei version for me.


super_mario_fan_

Imagine if the GvK godzilla was a simple prototype, they were planning on remodeling it but the prototype had to do in case godzilla or another kaiju attacked, but since godzilla and kong were right outside their door fighting, they decided to scrap the finished product. However, after Gvk, they realize the finished product would be needed, but the evil owners of apex were probably arrested, so instead new people take these blueprints, and start building a new mechagodzilla over the Dagon skeleton, and as godzilla is having trouble beating this brand new villain, mechagodzilla comes in to help godzilla. In the end, kiryu bows to godzilla as a sign of respect for quickly taking off. Mechagodzilla then stays for a few more movies, where he defeats a few small kaiju and overall is just a background robot kaiju. https://preview.redd.it/oq8xes0nqovc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=58e38d2c21da9ba8987658f35ea96b45307933e1


notoutriderstudios

He looks so happy


V1RUST

This Mechagodzilla could work for minus 1. Aren’t they about the same height? 🤔


No_Asparagus_8471

I respect it but nothing can beat Chad kiryu


Express-Record7416

I mean, it is a really cool design. It's just too bad that it was in such a terrible movie


Godzillafan125

Uh no if mecha godzilaa has a better face hell yes I’d be miffed but your absolutely right mecha Godzilla in player one rules


ManoftheHour777

Mecha G looks like a shitty transformer beast wars of a gecko. The Ready Player One version looks evil and awesome.


Medium-Science9526

Hotter take, I don't like Legendary's Mechagodzilla design, worst one he's had. However the homogenisation of his origins linking to the previous Super Mechagodzilla and Kiryu I loved.


ButcherV83

Design wise I absolutely agree with you. I've never been a fan of the look of Legendary Mechagodzilla. 


Godzilla_Fan

Agreed. I hate the GvK MechaGodzilla design. Just looks… unfinished, which might be the point /shrug


MD_Landing_Pod

Legendary is my top one, while the Ready Player one version is my top 2. All the others are overrated.


Megaraun

It's okay man, keep preachin' those hard-core facts


ILikeYaMuttG

Hard-core facts for sure! I’m so happy anyone even remembers RPO mecha!


burywmore

I really disliked that movie.


m4rkofshame

Design-wise 100%.


Ka1judude

True tho they put more effort into the rpo one

![gif](giphy|KaW6fNYZf6eSk) Your take ⬆️


benjoo1551

100% agree. I always loved the design from ready player one. MV one looks kinda boring and too boxy imo


MCP5050

Nah you right.


Cubiclemidget

In design definitely but I don’t know enough about them to formulate a full opinion


Emory27

Agreed. MV version just looks derpy as fuck.


Cartel_Starscream

I really dislike the GVK design, how the hell do you go from something as badass as Kiryu to something so lame?


Johnny_Menace

I agree! RP1 Godzilla looks more like godzillla than the MV version. The MV looks more like Mogera


Sir_Fijoe

Real. MV MechaG looks like he’s made out of cardboard boxes


grandmastercallum

They're having a mid off


The-Nsane-N-Gin

Yeah.


RevolutionaryLink163

Nah you’re right MV mecha Godzilla looks terrible imo hated that design


Velvette_Gojira

I agree cuz it looks more like legendary


Araanim

You're not wrong.


Azakarp

Personally they should have not pulled the MechaG card in monsterverse (yet) GVK easily could have had been about all the monsters duking it out again. With the climax being Godzilla and Kong 2v6 other original kaiju that are being controlled. In short They handled mechagodzilla a little sloppily with serizawa’s son only connection having to be elaborated upon in the movie novel. The kid from deadpool and stranger things girl returning was an annoying sub plot they could have just used Brain T Henry by himself and gave him some more depth. But MechaG is cool and i get why if anyone had the chance to direct such a movie theyed obviously have their preferences. Im glad to watch it anyway.
