Why Godzilla Can't Stay Dead

Godzilla has been part of cinema for 72 years, but unlike most movie monsters, no ending has ever managed to keep him gone. This video explores Godzilla’s journey across Toho’s film eras, television series, anime, and two separate Hollywood versions. From the 1954 original and the Showa era’s turn from villain to protector, to Destoroyah’s meltdown, the American Godzilla that Toho later answered in Final Wars, the Monsterverse’s near-death comebacks and evolutions, and Minus One heading into Godzilla Minus Zero, Godzilla has constantly been reshaped into something new.
