Kaiju Confessions will now be hosted at Kaijusaurus, the kaiju blog I’m now maintaining. This page will no longer by updated. Thanks for all the support and submissions!

If you ask me kaiju-eiga and Japanese sci-fi films that go along with it beats STAR WARS and all the American counterparts by miles.

I hate how people disrespect Gamera or other kaiju just because they are not from the Godzilla/Toho universe… Kaiju are fantastic no matter the origin!

I think GODZILLA is a much more enjoyable film than INVASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER.

GMK is an overrated mess. Right after the Godzilla and Baragon fight it falls to pieces. 

Kumi Mizuno is the measuring stick by which all other feminine beauty may be judged.

Growing up, I didn’t have superheroes. We couldn’t afford comic books. Instead, I got to watch my dad’s Godzilla tapes which he left behind. Godzilla was the only superhero I had as a kid, and when he adopted and raised Minya, he was a better father than I ever had.

Mothra is dumb.

Here’s the full confession I received: 

“Mothra is absurd. Seriously, it’s a big freaking moth. She’s slow, and fuzzy, and her legs usually don’t move, and she’s so freaking useless that they had to give her beam weapons in the ‘90’s because otherwise all of her potential attack power was wind, and glitter. All it takes is one good beam or fire blast from any other monster to set that stupid fur on fire and put her out of her stupid misery.

Oh wait, you can’t REALLY kill Mothra because there’s always another egg SOMEWHERE that will hatch and then continue the cycle of stupid. I get it, she’s a Goddess, the theme is rebirth, she’s exactly like Jesus or the Dali Lama or Optimus Prime or Son Goku, WHATEVER, I’ll stick with King Caesar for all of my Ancient Protector That Is Summoned by a Song and Arm Wiggling Routine needs. You know why? Because he has HANDS and he could rip Mothra’s dumb, slow, delicate wings right the Hell off.”

The confession about the Heisei series is an example of why I am a kaiju fan… but I find most of the fandom depressing. Most fans are - and remain - lousy critics.

I unfollowed someone on Twitter because they told me FINAL WARS is the Godzilla film ever made.
