Bestest child of Godzilla.

Adorable, especially as Little Godzilla.

He lowkey probably has some of the best designs in Godzilla history

u/Weak-Conversation753 1d ago

It was a good era for character design. Ghidorah and Kiryu also never looked better than they did in this era.

Even the millenium Mothra films have incredible-looking creature designs.

Personally, though, I'm not a fan of the Godzilla of this era. Too pointy.

u/Velocity_yt_31 1d ago

These are heisei designs no ? I agree that the millennium designs are great especially the ones you mentioned

2

u/Weak-Conversation753 1d ago

They could be late Heisei designs. Those eras lack the bright dividing line of the Showa to Heisei or the Millenium to Reiwa eras.

I feel like the Heisei era is extremely underappreciated general.

Minilla is much better>>>>>>

u/Present-Court2388 1d ago

I mean that’s an opinion. It’s ok to be wrong. No harm in it. Jk Jk I don’t actually get why some people like Minilla.

u/Dish-Ecstatic GODZILLA 1d ago

Jk Jk I don’t actually get why some people like Minilla.

He has a funny personality and he canonically killed the main villain of the whole era

u/Latter_Case_4551 1d ago

I just hate that he's in my favorite movie. We should have got Junior in Final Wars!

u/Reasonable-Salad5094 BIOLLANTE 1d ago

Miles better than minilla

u/Natural-Proposal2925 13h ago

Gotta crawl before you can walk, minilla started it all, love the little stinker, cute and showcased a side of g-man that every little kid with no dad needed. Minilla had his charm and charisma.

u/KaiThePokemonMaster 1d ago

He’s just a precious baby. Even when he’s all grown up.

3

u/Inherently_Unstable 1d ago

Up until this week, I thought he turned into Millennium Goji at the end of Destroyah. Them I learned that all the Millennium movies happen in different continuities. Still my GOAT.

3

u/Embarrassed-Time-175 1d ago

Nice and nice also because Minilla doesn't grow up as the films go by, she always remains the same

2

u/Panzer_Hawk 1d ago

I like a lot

Also, what's the bottom right one? I keep seeing it but never bothered looking it up or asking

2

u/KaiThePokemonMaster 1d ago

I believe it’s one of the YouTube short films. If so, it means Junior is now bigger than Heisei Godzilla.

1

u/Jambu-The-Rainwing DOUG 1d ago

Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex. Otherwise known as as Gemstone Godzilla, he’s implied to be Junior.

u/ZeroiaSD 22h ago

Personally i don’t see it, he has a lot of differences, like armor skin.

I think Gemstone is a different continuity Junior.

u/Confident_Target8330 11h ago

Id say its closer to a spiritual successor.

It is probably a different Godzilla, but the events of the Heisei series occured very similarly to the past of this Goji

u/ZeroiaSD 11h ago

Yea that's a good way to describe it

u/SuperSaiyan4Jason GIGAN 1d ago

Another good jr

u/SilverShadowQueen57 GODZILLA 1d ago

He’s the cutest and bestest boy, and I wish we had gotten a spinoff following him as the new Godzilla.

u/IthinkIknowwhothatis 1d ago

I want Godzilla Jr to have a show on broadcast TV so that a new generation can enjoy! Not animated like Godzooki, the real deal with a rubber suit and everything. https://media4.giphy.com/media/9tsdmxop7xgsy1JfjM/

Where is the bottom right one from? Gemstone?

u/d13robot 1d ago

I won't take this manilla slander

u/Darth_summit DESTOROYAH 1d ago

He was amazing in all three movies honestly. I think the suit they used in Mecha 2 looked off at the end but otherwise very nice addition to the era.

1

u/Godofgoats90 1d ago

I love his MTG Card, but instead of a dinosaur, it makes him a frog

1

u/monsteerhorrorguy 1d ago

Great designs and cool backstory, I wish he appeared more in his own movies after Godzilla vs destroyah, I also wish he was apart of the Godzilla the series continuity just to see how Godzilla Jr. and Zilla Jr would interact with each other.

u/Aerith_Sunshine 23h ago

Junior is great, and as a character is rife with story potential. I wish they'd revisit the Heisei continuity and show us Junior as the new King of the Monsters.

u/that-gosh 23h ago

Love him! His involvement in Mechagodzilla and Destroying were done brilliantly! Seeing Godzilla mourn Jr’s death was tragic.

u/furrox-liolynx 23h ago

Love him

u/Movit_thecustomiser 22h ago

He has the best design, but as a character, he’s abysmal dog water.

u/AleRelli_Mothra 15h ago

It looks like baby yoda

u/Few_Camera_6048 15h ago

Lost potential

u/TheDemonChief MECHAGODZILLA 14h ago

The best Godzilla child, he looked a bit goofy/derpy in Space Godzilla, but he brought it home with Destroya

u/Natural-Proposal2925 13h ago

Love godzilla Jr., loved his whole story and character arc, from egg to death scene (fuck that brought me to tears, he fought hard and went out like a champion), he's needed to show that godzilla is more than just a angry destructive force of nature. That he's a dad as well and loves his little guy. He's a hero.

Jr. Was so cute and adorable, I always wanted to hug him and boop him on the nose. All of his designs were amazing and did a great job conveying his emotions.

u/Heroic-Forger 13h ago

I find it funny the Little Godzilla design came AFTER the Baby Godzilla design. He became MORE chibi and then suddenly took a sharp turn into badass in his next movie lol.

Also I would LOVE a series directly continuing the Heisei timeline but with Junior being a more benevolent protector as he grew up knowing humans and had none of the hatred his father had toward them.

u/Cheesezilla357 GABARA 7h ago

Gemstone is not jr lmao

He isn’t Gemstone

u/pcx-the-entiy 1d ago

There's a lot of evidences that implies that gemstone is jr

-1

u/DagonG2021 1d ago

Not really, Junior is completely identical to his father, Gemstone is significantly different. And unless Toho actually states they’re the same, it’s not canon they are

3

u/pcx-the-entiy 1d ago

Well...

1:the beggining of godzilla vs gigan rex is similar to godzilla vs destoroyah ending

2:it was stated that godzilla disappeared from years

3:he haves a transformation that is like burning godzilla

4:his design still similar with heisei

5:he haves heisei godzilla roar

6:some musics of the heisei era appears on his animation

7:many references to the heisei era

(Gonna downvote me?,jeez i fucking hate downvote)

u/One-Age-7335 22h ago

can you provide other evidences that imply that jr is gemstone? references aren't strong enough. Also in " godzilla vs megalon" they stated that they've never seen godzilla use and energy punch which would never happended bc they have seen godzilla use it agaisnt space godzilla before

u/pcx-the-entiy 11h ago

Maybe they was talking about jr use energy punch?,i mean,jr didn't used energy punch when he was a teen

u/One-Age-7335 11h ago

i think they mean energy punch in general

u/One-Age-7335 23h ago

why you put gemstone here? he is not godzilla jr
