It's interesting when you realize that of all the various roars of creatures in movies, Godzilla is probably the only one that one can instantly recognize. So kudos to whoever thought of it.
@@rayquza_vmax9612 Godzilla 2000 my favorite roar and I can tell ur an intermediate Godzilla fan like me I grew up mostly with the millenial era I'm more of a fan of the millenial and the heisa era than the showa
The 1954 roar is different from the rest, it isnt a roar that conveys respect like legendary goji or a roar that conveys aw and terror like heisei or hatred like millenium. Its a roar that is the entire suffering that nuclear warfare causes, all the pain and loss ( abet not truly all of it) japan went through, it is an otherwordly cry of pain and despair from a creature suffering every moment of its existence, all caused by three words, hiroshima and nagasaki. The best roar in my opinion is this one, not because it sounds good but because its the truest and closest to godzilla has ever gotten to its roots. Edit: before anyone says it, I know it was hydrogen bomb testing that woke up and scared the 1954 godzilla. But we can all agree Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a big part of the movies impact.
@Fred-fen Spinerir true, most people think of godzilla as something that was always there, and normally don't go deeper than the reiwa era movies, memes and reviews of older movies. Even I was sort creeped out after discovering his origin and the ramifications of his movie
While Godzilla 1998 wasn't really much like 'Godzilla' and got negative reception (even being called Zilla by Toho), I will say that: - It had a great roar. - If it hadn't been under the name and expectations of Godzilla, it would've been a good film as a different monster. - 'Godzilla: The Series', the sequel animated series, was much more faithful to the original Godzilla and overall much better.
The 1998 movie was the first Godzilla film I ever watched. And without any nostalgia or bias towards the old films, I will say it was a really awesome action movie. The sheer size of this monster romping through NYC blew my 16 year old mind. They could have titled it Stewart Rodzilla for all I cared
@@OrcaStree Same here. Never really watched any of the earlier godzilla films, and I always felt 1998 Godzilla was pretty badass and an interesting melding of more 'realistic' (i.e. flesh and blood and quite capable of being taken out with conventional weapons if you can hit it hard enough) with fantastical (sheer size of the thing and fire breath).
I agree. I really love the film and it’s only major issue is how they handled Godzilla. If they just had him act more like how his cartoon son did then that wouldn’t be an issue.
It should have been a Beast From 20,000 Fathoms remake because it has much more in common with BF2KF than Godzilla. That one small change could have changed that movie's fortunes. I was 17 and only vaguely aware of what made Godzilla "GODZILLA" when the 1998 movie came out so I didn't hate it at the time. Still don't, to be honest. It's a decent schlocky creature feature but laughable as a Godzilla movie. Godzilla DYING from being shot with four missiles is a huge facepalm. But as a Beast From 20,000 Fathoms remake it would have been remarkably faithful and probably have become a cult classic..
Godzilla should be at the top just for how originality alone. There isn't a single animal on earth that comes close to sounding like him. Jurassic Park's T-Rex sounds mostly like an elephant screaming, and there are a lot of insects that sound like the predator. Not to diss any of these roars, though. They're all good. Just not as unique.
Showa: The one that started it all and really the point where all Godzilla roars are measured. I admit that not all of them sound great, but all of them are iconic and easily recognizable. Heisei: This was a nice evolution of Godzilla's roar, but in a subtle way. They louder roars were more or less the same, but what I liked a lot from this era was the deeper, almost growl-like roars we got too. It really reflected this darker period of the king of the monsters 1998: Say what you will about the creature, but at least they got the roar right while also putting a slightly nuanced spin on it Millennium: Now THIS felt like the real first fresh take on the roar while being faithful to it. It was longer, deeper, and more intense than it ever has been before. Millennium Godzilla's roar was more than just a sound. It resonated with power and you could practically feel it. THIS roar to me really puts the "GOD" in Godzilla, because when Millennium Godzilla speaks, EVERYONE hears and feels it! Shin: Not gonna beat around the bush here, the roars were all reused from previous Godzillas, but the way they were implemented in the story as the monster grew and evolved were very well conceived. The first time we hear him roar, his third form, was reused from his 1954 incarnation, which is very fitting. And as he moves through the phases, his roar moves along, having Showa's in his fourth form, and we hear Heisei's roar right at the end of the movie as Godzilla was about to move into his fifth phase. So we can surmise that had he gone past this and into a 6th phase, he would have had Millennium's roar. Legendary: Just like Millennium, this is where the roar was very noticeably different. And just like Millennium, it was a well done adaptation and evolution of the roar, and even seemed to take inspiration from all the eras of Godzilla. In all, this is a roar that just about anyone, not just Godzilla fans, will recognize. It is just so iconic that to change it would almost be like changing the very character of Godzilla. Many things will change, but some will always stay the same.
I love that they used the original 54 roar for Minus One. That was always my favorite one. Love the 55 one too, although that one comes from the original Gojira as well.
@@alien4693 The truth is that you are right, as much as people try to have illusions that what is important is what is inside and values, we live in a time, in which the best values are purely external and aesthetic, what matters most is have a good face, a beautiful face, and you will gain confidence in people more easily.

I know the original Godzilla roars were the OG/classics and everything, but that 2014 roar [especially hearing it in the THEATRE] was the BEST out of all of them. Like you felt that one in your BONES man
My personal favourite is 1984 tbh.2014 s roar was my favourite back then because it was the first movie I watched.I still like it but not my favourite anymore.
I like that the U.S switched it up. Idk but having even some of the newer Godzilla’s with the same roar as it had 70 years ago with only slight tweaks to it is off putting.
For people that are reading this, this was my first Godzilla video I watched 4 years ago, July 2nd 2020. And to this day, this video still gives me Nostalgia.
They all heard very similar but you can notice the difference. Thank you. I always thought that Godzilla was a dinosaur till my brothers explain it to me
Imagine hearing this in the evening , its raining outside , felt an earthquake and the hills just crumbled and you see its head and its looking at you from the distance , and everything went silent while it stared at you a moment longer before moving out of there
Yup he is the king!!!!! OMG SOMEONE ATE MY LAST PIZZA FOOD STEALER: THIS IS MINE ME: NO I GUESS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GODZILLA VS KONG HURRY WATCH THE MOVIE OH NOOO THE MOVIE ENDED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
