Gojira vs. Supesugojira (1994)

Information

Siskoid
All the psychic stuff embedded in the Hensei franchise to date comes to a head in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, when G-Force decides to implant a telepathic receiver in the back of Godzilla's head to control him. And not a moment too soon because SpaceGodzilla is about to hit Earth, and Mothra's fairies warn that without the King of Monsters, the planet won't survive. But military types are really itching to use their new Chicken Mecha, it splits, combines and transforms and everything. Cue a lot of scenes in various cockpits (yes, that's a pun). Baby Godzilla's gotten pretty big, and is under threat as well (getting bad Minilla vibes, guys). While you could pretty much watch the Showa era movies in any order, not so with the more interconnected Hensei. I'm not sure the characters themselves could keep it straight, and many of them have been in the other movies! Anyway, the best part of this chapter is SpaceGZ's origin story, which is complete nonsense, grafted onto more nonsense, then sent through a black hole only to come out of a white hole upon a supernova. The monster's pretty cool, but ultimately, the final fight goes on too long, to the point where the mech pilots themselves think so. And when it's all over, they pour on the cheese and push a happy ending while Fukuoka burns behind the camera. Still provides a nice dose of insanity, but a step back for the franchise. 4 years 4 months ago
