What the producers of that newer Godzilla completely missed was
that in most the movies Godzilla was actually the hero not the
villian. In fact Godzilla was a metaphor for the Japanese view of
the U.S. after the war; An immensly powerful but clumsy beast who
causes a lot of destruction but really has a heart of gold. He ends
up saving Japan from some larger evil and then retreats into the
ocean.

Exactly. Godzilla started his movie career as a total bad guy, but
then far more evil monsters, such as Rodan and Mechagodzilla, showed
up and Godzilla became a hero. The 1998 computer graphics Godzilla
was evil all over again, had no lovable cheese factor, and was
totally out of character for the franchise. Godzilla's roar didn't
even sound like Godzilla. Good scenes of stomping cars and stuff
though. Dave

Visit Crackles web site and you can watch a few of the Godzilla flicks.
They also have some with Mothra only? Those I don't recall that much.

To see them easier when the site opens select all movies, then a small
column opens on the left side, select Sci-Fi as the genre and you will
see quite a few. They also have some classics like "The Blob"
