This is why I don't care if Godzilla isn't serious or goofy. Growing up in this era was a nightmare, no new Godzilla content, no new Godzilla games, no reruns of the classic Toho films, people would mock you for being a Godzilla fan, etc. That's why goofy or serious debate is stupid, because a lot of people didn't grow up during this era or weren't fans back then. So they don't appreciate the content they're giving us right now. I hope Godzilla stays strong!

Please preach. You got people in the community being toxic towards each other and criticizing what they hate, meanwhile they should be celebrating that there’s even content to criticize in the first place. And anyway, the wonderful thing about Godzilla is that it can successfully be many things. Godzilla can be a serious commentary on the consequences of nuclear warfare or it can be fun popcorn beatem up experience.

I grew up in this time, all of what you said was true, but it ended 10 years and I feel quite strongly about the MV and their tonal shifts have made me less excited each film although GXK was alright. I look at fan art from Owen Kellen/Obamase and Project Monster/ Lost Utopia and I can’t help but wonder just how good we could be eating if this stuff had a Hollywood budget behind it. Toho is gonna do what they want regardless it’s the Reiwa era and theyre experimenting but this corner of Godzilla in the west doesn’t need to emulate Showa when we practically invented our own tone and I miss it because it ended the drought in the first place. We didn’t have a debate about silly vs serious until recently becayee it wasn’t a problem, which means it’s a problem in execution.

The GodzillaThons is more than likely *the* KZitem Godzilla series that got new people exposed to the series between the span between Final Wars and Legendary’s Godzilla. James Rolfe was a big enough name to bring traffic towards this Godziller fella. More people were made aware of the fact there were more Godzillas than the Showa Era and the two post-Showa Toho films that were released in cinemas outside of Japan than they would have before seeing the series. Longtime fans on the internet knew but for everyone else, it was like seeing Season 3 of Beast Wars for the first time and getting the resolution for the Season 2 cliffhanger because some places never got the third season. I remember seeing the whole marathon and becoming aware of the series’ long history at a time that Legendary Godzilla or the idea of a new Godzilla just a murmur just like the return of Crash Bandicoot before 2016-2017. Fun, engaging, informative and a joy to explore a series that you only vaguely knew in passing even if the likes of Big Action Bill’s the History of Godzilla Movies have surpassed it in the years since. In a top ten of series James had done, it’d be up right there.

I think you should've also mentioned the NES Godzilla Creepypasta. It came out way back in 2012 and Goji73 did a whole video version of the story. While many would just look at this more as a video game creepypasta and mainly belonging to that category of online horror stories (like Sonic.exe, Ben Drown, Slenderman, or Jeff The Killer), in my opinion, I view this as the height of more Godzilla fan content on the early years of KZitem. It's a story that takes the first Godzilla game Monster of Monsters on NES (which AVGN reviewed) and completely turns into a more engaging action pact game with your typical creepypasta horror elements. Basically a haunted, hacked, or possessed cartridge. It even added more fan created monsters into the Godzilla mythos like Red. It intrigued me back in the day and I think deserves more of a highlight in the Godzilla fan space. Others in both the online horror and Kaiju fan space have also talked about this gaming pasta. Its popularity extended beyond the release of the 2014 film.

Someone's prolly already said this but I feel like this is more of a Golden Age, especially if we're specifically referring to the KZitem side of things. It was an experimental and fun little era for a lot of fans, or the chance to introduce others into the very poorly distributed world of Toho's kaiju. It was a dark age for the Godzilla franchise for sure, but not necessarily on the internet side of things I'd say.

It's called 'Godzilla's Army' but thats about all I can find nowadays hoping this can get some attention because I REALLY want to rewatch those old vids

I think Dark Age is more of an apt term because Godzilla media was in bit of a dryspell as it was between Terror of Mechagodzilla and Return of Godzilla. No new film projects were being worked on, the distribution of the films was still spotty with some Heisei and Millennium Era Godzillas not readily available for viewing, Gojira (1954) wouldn’t be available for a few years, Godzilla merch was relegated to specialty shops or as part of an evergreen branding, the SH Monsterarts hasn’t started and if you wanted new Godzilla, you had to turn to the comics or the video games coming out. Can’t comment on the then state of Kaijuwiki because I only experienced the newer version. When the Godzilla KZitem community started coming into being, Final Wars was the most recent film, a second go at an American Godzilla film was relegated to the same developmental status as the Justice League (Before Zack Snyder’s involvement) and the Kaiju genre was in something of a drought during most of the 2000’s in terms of big releases with Gamera the Brave having an underwhelming box office run. I would say the G-Fans were in a similar boat to Trekkers in the 1970’s where Star Trek was in that state of limbo between TOS Season 3 in 1969 and 1979 when The Motion Picture dropped where no new on-screen media was being produced at the time other than a two season low-budget animated series of 22 episodes in 1973-1974. In the meantime, you had to seek out the TOS reruns, go to conventions to see the unaired pilot before it was widely available, pick up the Gold Key Comics and the odd original novel to get your Trek fix. The whole Motion Picture project is a long, spiralling tale of false starts, pay disputes, trying to pitch a good story for the big screen and the movie we got was originally conceived as a story for the unmade Phase 2 series for a new network. The Golden Age started with the 1990’s because Star Trek was no longer in a constant precarious state of dying off as it was throughout the 1980’s including the whole nightmare surrounding The Next Generation’s first two seasons with 1989 being the peak of absolute chaos. For the Golden Age of KZitem Godzilla, that either came about around the late 2000’s where the likes of MIB were coming into prominence or near the mid-2010’s when news of Legendary’s Godzilla started circulating.

Godzilla roar compilations (There were a ton of these but I always listened to the 1954 ones) "Godzilla in Brawl!!!" by "Tom K" which is a poorly edited image of Godzilla in Smash Bros Brawl for 5 seconds "Godzilla vs. Mothra (1964) Main theme" by "KaijuQueenMothra13", an OST video that has a screamer at the end for no reason whatsoever "TOP 13 GODZILLA MONSTERS" by "gydromon" which features a high pitched alien voice counting down the characters "numa numa godzilla" by "octavio abuelito" which is exactly what you expect, Numa Numa with Godzilla footage, has a lot of interesting choices "Godzilla Vs NES Heroes" by "cerebulon", a good old MUGEN video "godzilla movies that got canceled?" by "1fanofgodzilla", this one got me obsessed with the idea of lost, unreleased, or scrapped media

I was in elementary school during this era. I was born in 2001 and I remember watching all kinds of Godzilla videos on KZitem, many of which are showcased in this video. I remember watching all the toy reviews, toy fights, animated fights, and even Godzilla Attacks Eden Prairie. When I was in 2nd grade, our class was given an assignment on reporting about multiple characters from a specific franchise we had to choose. This was back in either 2010 or 2011 and my dad got me hooked on Godzilla when he had me watch Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth. I figured, “Why not do mine on Godzilla?” Godzilla was an interesting entry into the school assignment because it was nowhere near as hugely known a franchise as Star Wars or Pokémon. The only monsters my classmates and teacher recognized were Godzilla, King Kong, and Mechagodzilla. The rest were all obscure to them. I had Mothra on the front cover because at the time, I really liked her (and still do). The teacher asked me in front of the class “Who’s Mothra?” And then I did some explaining. Everybody was speechless. One girl who really liked me didn’t know who Godzilla was until I came along and she would tease me for liking Godzilla. With the immense success of the recent Godzilla media, I wonder what she’s thinking now? It’s safe to say, beginning in 2014, I’ve been killing it as a Godzilla fan. Her as a Monster High fan, not so much.

Thank you for making this video and acknowledging the positives during this timeframe on KZitem and in general. Growing up in the 2000s as a Godzilla fan, nothing was more fun for me than to watch Godzilla toy battles on KZitem from channels like Tarantula Productions and C.J. Productions Inc. Those types of videos were the D.I.Y. equivalents to rubber suit monsters fighting on soundstages, all embodied in a kind of childhood innocence and love for film making. (There was also the "Godzilla X The Kaiju Killer" movie by Chris Elchesyn, who went as far as to make his own Godzilla suits for the project, which is super inspirational in-and-of itself.) And all of the Godzilla movies were "new" to me while growing up as a Godzilla fan. There was so much to explore throughout all 28 Godzilla films that it never truly felt like there was a lack of Godzilla content, even when new movies were not being made. I also feel like Toho made more of an honest effort during this timeframe to release as many of their Godzilla and Non-Godzilla-Giant-Monster movies on DVD in America, something that is not happening as much now. I feel like looking back on this timeframe and dubbing it as the "Dark Ages" has an immature implication. From my perspective (and I could be wrong), it seems like a lot of things Godzilla fans talk about wanting to own in general - from DVD/Blu-Ray releases of Godzilla and Non-Godzilla Toho Giant-Monster movies to various new Godzilla figures - are tendencies that have carried over from this timeframe.

It was a very fun yet strange time growing up in the very early 2000's and being a godzilla fan. I was born in 2003 and at the age of 3 I stumbled across godzilla through a random music video on youtube at the time. Ever since that day I have been a massive godzilla fan. I'm very glad that godzilla is as big as he is today and I honestly feel quite envious whenever I walk into my local supermarket and see godzilla toys line the shelves. That was something I could only ever dream about as a kid growing up in Australia where godzilla was even less popular than most countries at the time. There was barely ever anybody who actually knew who he was besides the few random older people who probably grew up seeing the showa era films. I remember always talking about godzilla at school with my friends or other kids and they had absolutely no idea what I was talking about lmao.

This video has it several soft spots in my heart, I remember watching almost all of these back in the day, in fact my first ever yt video was a mini movie from a now deleted channel called GFW and it was using gamera figures in a makeshift city made from figures boxes lmao

For me, one of the first videos that introduced me to Godzilla related media was a video titled "Happy Birthday Godzilla" by kaijusroyaume. That one video introduced me to the many films that were part of the Godzilla franchise (back then, the concept of a movie franchise was foreign to younger me) and got me hooked to find more Godzilla related videos on the internet. Pre-KZitem, I already had an idea of who Godzilla was courtesy of Godzilla '98 and that one episode from Animal Icons called "It Came From Japan" but Happy Birthday Godzilla was what got me digging deeper into the kaiju rabbit hole.

Being 24 and being a fan at age 3 keeping up with what I had throughout the "Dark years" was kinda tough, all I had was the dvds that was available, having Godzilla destroy all monsters melee on GCN and the Bandai America toys to go by, I barely used the internet until the 2010s and this is most of what I saw back in the day and eventually learning there was more Godzilla movies out there thanks to James Rolf blew my mind as a pre teen, Ultraman Cronos and MIB opened my eyes to all the toys that was out there at the time eventually jumping into Rich Eso and Samson West blew the gates wide open. With all that I know and have now, if it wasn't for some of these people, I wouldn't have been as influenced to look and invest into Godzilla more and I don't regret that today.

I’m still waiting for someone to uncover this video of a guy doing monster roll call where he gives them all stupid names. If anyone know the video where the guy calls Gigan a giant chicken and to King Cesar he says “and I don’t know what the hell that is” please please let me know . 🙏🏻

I have fond memories of KZitem from those days ! I live in Mexico and back then Godzilla wasn’t even mentioned anymore, so the only way I had to learn about the franchise was on KZitem. I have a deep appreciation for Kaijunomura. He was my inspiration for creating content in Spanish and thanks to him I was able to learn so much about the Godzilla toys ❤

That era got me into Godzilla tbh, cinnamassacre’s monster madness and finding episodes of “Godzilla the series” on KZitem, Looking back tho it is funny how wrong james was about the plots on his movies in godzillathon.

Hey, I grew up in this era. I recall thinking that 2004 was the last year a Godzilla film would be, period, let alone seeing another Godzilla movie made in my lifetime. I, of course, did not know how old humans are, nor did I understand how famous Godzilla was. With the 2000's music and simply slide-show editing, these older videos are nostalgic.

Around this time when i was a kid. It didnt felt like a dark age, for me this was a time when i was into wanting to watch all of the toho godzilla movies that came out on dvd. And when they had godzilla save the earth ps2 and then godzilla unleashed for the wii. I was enjoying what was put out by toho with releasing many of the toho godilla movies for the 50th anniversary and pipeline with their godzilla games at the time. Back in mid 2000s i used to go fye with my dad and he buy me the toho godzilla movies that were on dvd. That was when they the majority of godzilla movies from all three eras on dvd at the time Overall the dark age that was considered by many godzilla fans was the peak age for me as a godzilla fan in digging more into the loads of godzilla movies that i hadn’t seen for the first time when i was a kid and got to play the three pipeline godzilla games for the gamecube, ps2 and wii
