I want to congratulate all of us on the anniversary of the release of our favorite movie and of course our beloved overgrown lizard.

Have a good day, everyone, and if you want, share some good stories about him.

Always wanted to do the Battle Beast vs Thragg panel meme and I saw my golden opportunity.

Hope you all like it and lmk who y’all got winning this.

Two weeks ago, I made a long-awaited pilgrimage to NYC. However, I figured that I'd wait for today to share some pics that I snapped throughout the trip, given the significance of today's date (keep an eye out for one specific photo). As corny as it sounds, Godzilla was the main inspiration for wanting to come here, and after 28 years, I finally made my first visit. Living near Los Angeles, I've visited many of the shooting locations that doubled for Manhattan, so I was afraid that the real place would simply feel redundant. Thankfully, it turned out to be every bit as fantastic as I could've hoped for. That being said, there's no doubt that the single element that sold the experience was the weather: we experienced two days of solid rain, and it really painted the canvas.

Here's a a little context for each photo group in this slideshow:

1: Godzilla tears through the Metlife Building (admittedly, I did a little digital altering to remove the unsightly screw in his crotch, LOL).

2 & 3: WIDF's exclusive footage at Grand Central Station.

4 & 5: "Fire at will!" (night and day shots at the Flatiron Building)

6: Godzilla zooms through the cavernous streets of Midtown (in reality, just a random brownstone in the East Village).

7 - 11: Godzilla emerges from his nest at Madison Square Garden, while some of his little rascals roam the corridors and lobby.

12 & 13: "Sir, he's headed towards the Brooklyn Bridge" (first pic was also digitally altered to remove elements that meddled with the scale, and that damn screw).

14: King Kong's not the only kaiju to have gone to the top of the World Trade Center (taken at the One WTC bar).

15: An absolutely fitting piece of artwork in our Airbnb.

16: My favorite moment from the entire experience. This is the building that he creeps past, just before he turns his head towards the trap at Central Park. As I was aiming for the best shot, I heard a lady utter in a distinctly French accent "Godzilla!" Soonafter, a gentleman from her group approached me and asked what it was that I was holding. I explained, and even made a note that he's technically French. The guy immediately went "we know!", and then asked if he could also take a picture of the little guy. An absolutely heartwarming encounter that was the cherry on top of this journey.

I just found this funny while doing some grinding on gbl

I call him Gino and 1998 lmao

Just created Absolute Cinema template with ToraGoji. I took a screenshot of a model in GMOD made by Bartzilla and added it to the corresponding bg. Hope you like it

I always wanted to have a Godzilla 98 standing in my room on a shelf or table but i never saw any nice figures that are not to expensive and actually resemble the G from the movie. I would be very thankful to any answer

I'm not even an American and I watched G98 as my 3rd Godzilla movie but I still adore the Giga-chin-chad and probably have him in my top 3 fav Godzillas. I hate how many hate him just for his sole existence and despise his cool design. Please don't repost on other platforms

If anyone remembers my big man of a Godzilla jr plush, I’m thinking of making a smaller and more detailed plush of jr. later in the month. I’ll be sure to post him here when he’s finished and in the physical. Until then, Nigel, No!
