I still remember the day I was first introduced to this wonderful movie. It was a weekday, and my father - who was a mechanic - had come home for lunch and brought with him his toolbox. He set it down and then during lunch, asked me to go get something out of it for him. To my surprise, there was a copy of Godzilla vs. Megalon sitting there right on top for me.
The cover art was and still is to this day quite an interesting one, but at least it accurately portrayed the monsters within. We got: Godzilla, returning favorite Gigan the giant space chicken and the newcomers Jet Jaguar and the titular Megalon, who would go in to be somewhat common when giant monsters were referenced in other media. Beetle Mania from King of the Monsters for example.
I eventually want to start talking about specific monsters individually in later blog posts, so I will cease it there and move on to the main reason this and the two subsequent films remain my favorites throughout the entire franchise.
The Godzilla design as MegaroGoji!
When I hear the name "Godzilla", it isn't the 1991 BioGoji suit or the modern day Monsterverse or ShinGoji designs that come to mind, nor are they what I imagine when I picture fights in my head. It's this! THIS is MY Godzilla; The modified used in the next two films in particular, but this is where the suit got its start and is an absolute not to watch fight.
