godzilla looked butt ugly in this movie
agreed?
shareYup. By far the worst Godzilla suit ever designed and filmed. Undoubtedly the reason it was only used for one movie, whereas the next suit was used for four (Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla's Revenge, Godzilla vs Hedora and Godzilla vs Gigan).
shareInteresting. I wasn't sure if it were ever used again, but now I'm sure. The frog-like features are awful. My fave is the one in "Godzilla vs The Thing"

The "Musukogoji" suit from this movie was used for water scenes in "Godzilla vs. Gigan". The suit was also going to be loaned to Tsuburaya Productions for their "Godzilla vs. Redmoon" project, but that film never came to fruition.
Godzilla appears the way he does because for some reason, they made Minya first, and after he was completed, they changed Godzilla to resemble Minya, rather than the other way around.
There are fans in Japan who enjoy the suit. It still looks pretty much like Godzilla, so...
And Audio, the only reason they used the suit you're referring to was to save money. If you look during the final reel of "Godzilla vs. Gigan", you can see the costume falling apart on screen. I guarantee you had it had another movie in it, they would have used it again for "Godzilla vs. Megalon".
I heard they did it so he would look more human, so we could sypmathize with him more. Sympathize with him? Fans of Godzilla were still going to sympathize with him, that's why they were going to a Godzilla movie in the first place. That said, he's still Godzilla blast it, and there hasn't been a Toho Godzilla suit I haven't liked in one way or another.

Yes, it was quite bad. But I think that most all of the late 60s through early 70s suits looked horrible. These movies tended to be lighter in tone and more kid friendly. So I suppose they decided Godzilla should have a more cartoonish appearance. But the character became popular as a rampaging lizard, so I think there was no reason to change it. With all of the effort and resources which go into making such a suit, they might as well make it with some detail.
shareYeah this was easily the worst look he has had in the entire series.

He is a sea monster. He is supposed to be ugly. The giant spider was even uglier
