The Evolution of Godzilla


Leave it to historyvortex.org to create a fantastic article highlighting the costume evolution of Godzilla.

Like your average girl's wardrobe, it seems like Godzilla has had a costume for just about every occasion.

You'll see in the link below just how much his costume has changed over the decades, with Toho Studios essentially never making the same one twice.

I find it interesting that Toho did this in the first place.

One would think that if the Godzilla throughout these movies was the same monster, why would his style change so dramatically?

I can see artistic interpretation coming into play...but that's usually on a rare cycle, not for every single movie!

In any case my favorite costume ever remains the one pictured above, the Godzilla 1985 one, because of its ultra-menacing looks.

Godzilla has never looked so good looking so bad!
