The Subtle But Major Reason Japanese Godzilla Movies Hit Different To The American MonsterVerse

The Corridor Crew YouTube channel breaks down how Shin Godzilla and other modern Japanese Godzilla movies stand out from their American MonsterVerse counterparts through how the filmmaking captures the horror and destruction caused by the Kaiju. The modern American giant monster franchise began with Gareth Edwards’ 2014 reimagining of Godzilla and has expanded to feature other creatures including King Kong and Mothra in a still-ongoing shared universe. 2016’s Shin Godzilla was directed by Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno who envisioned an ever-evolving Godzilla that adapts to whatever threats it may face.
