>>109080231>As cheesy as it is, Hanna-Barbera made a more faithful adaptation of Godzilla than Roland EmmerichA lot of people who watch the HB Godzilla series as a relic now for get to take into context what the movies were like when it was made. Most of Godzilla's behavior in the cartoon is consistent with the Toho films.
Godzooky? Movie Godzilla had a son named Minilla who was an annoying retard, too.
Godzilla saving humans? Movie Godzilla had been a good guy since Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and humans even called to him for help, and he answered, in movies like Terror of Mechagodzilla.
Laser eyes? OK, a bullshit compromise to BS&P to reduce the use of his fire breath, but Movie Godzilla pulled out weird bullshit powers all the time, too, like when he flew using his atomic breath or that time he turned himself into a giant magnet because apparently he could just do that.
Godzilla being silly? C'mon, man, remember when he danced in Irish Jig in Invasion of Astro Monster or slid on his tail to deliver a silly kick?
HB Godzilla really wasn't that out there at the time and was pretty familiar to 70s kids who'd been watching the movies. It's only after 40 years of Godzilla being SERIOUS BUSINESS that this goofy version seems like an insult to his legacy or something.
