Come on. Godzilla is obviously a rip off of Jirass from Ultraman. Godzilla is just Jirass without something around its neck. How am I the only one to see the striking similarities?
Today… WB has film rights to both… So I wouldn't mind seeing a "remake" of THIS! (Though this time giving a little more respect to "Godzilla".)
We finally got more orgu my favorite character in the entire show I was dying for one
Green dinosaur attacking a city, proves nothing Toho may have took inspiration from the hundred movies of dinosaurs a city or town I deny that GODZILLA IS A KNOCK-OFF!!!
when I was a kid I picked up the VHS of this cartoon cause of the Godzilla-like monster, I knew it wasn't Godzilla I was just a huge kaiju fan!
That's not a Godzilla movie it's a cheap rip off
When I was a VERY young kid, I remember seeing that scene where the artic giant destroys the bridge on TV and didn't see any footage after, and for years I had no idea where it was from. That scene captivated me because of how well it was animated. It wasn't until I rented a DVD copy of those Fleisher Superman cartoons during my preteens that I discovered it was from this cartoon!
I highly recommend checking out the rest of the Fleisher Superman cartoons. I am a huge superhero fan and those cartoons were SO influential to modern superhero cartoons. We wouldn't have the best Batman on TV without the Fleisher Superman cartoons!
Man, don't tell me your a Brie simp. lol
As someone that lists Superman and Godzilla as my favorite fictional characters, I’m happy to see you giving this short a little love… but still disappointed that we never got a real Godzilla vs Superman crossover.
The Artic Giant 1942, Beast From 20,000 Fathoms 1953 and Gojira 1954, Classics forever.
well i mean Gabera isn't wrong…from what i hear the original godzilla director did take SOME inspiration from Beast from 20,000 fathoms
If this happened now, they'd be sued. But it's really neat
I'm so happy to get Orga. Haven't seen him much or his segment lately. He could continue the classics like he did with Rodan.
Those Superman shorts are still really good, and nostalgic for me. My grandpa loves them and we’d watch them every time we’d go for a visit.
I wonder if this short is in public domain. Not the character of Superman itself, obviously, but the short. WB has historically not been very good at maintaining their copyrights over golden age cartoons, let alone ones they originally didn't make. Who hasn't come across compilation dvds with classic Looney Tunes and Fleischer Superman?
It would make the Artic Giant character public domain, since he isn't from the comics…
will Rhedosaurus come to an episode of Monster Island Buddies?
everything is a rip off of something. Godzilla still stands on his own.
You should review some of the episodes from The New Adventures of Superman from the 1960s or 1970s because he battles a lot of giant monsters that are similar to one's from other movies.
Godzilla was an Attempt to Recreate the Success of King Kong.
7:26 that's Tru, gabera finally said fax
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms was a year before Godzilla first came out. Maybe that was the main inspiration
3:13
Too be fair, t.rex was thought to kangaroo stance until the 80s
I enjoyed this as kid
I thought this was Godzilla though when I was a kid anyway
It ultimately doesn't matter, because nobody went after Toho about Godzilla and being a supposed ripp off of this cartoon. A case that I don't think Toho would've won if Fleischer had.
Plus the Arctic Giant feels more like a possible inspiration, and Godzilla is different enough that Fleischer probably didn't see any point.
"Hmm… suspicious."
Points to whoever gets the reference
When I was a kid and I saw the episode Superman: The Arctic Giant (1942) I always believed that the creature was GODZILLA
Godzilla: You know what you guys can both suck my di-!!!
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
The last part made me laugh so f*cking hard
Hey Orga, do you realize you tried to become a Godzilla clone in Godzilla 2000?
Can you do a review of the Gamera trilogy?
this was my favorite as a kid
Hey, MIB… Do you by any chance speak Spanish? Cause you said "habré los ojos, amigo" really well.
What's next you're gonna tell me Batman made king kong?
Tbh I hope Toho gives Zone Fighter more love, having seen those keychains
Imagine more well proportioned vinyl figures!
You know if Superman had gone after the monster instead of having a conversation with Lois, he would have stopped it before it wrecked the dam and damaged the rest of the city.
Orga is Bacc
I remember seeing this short when I was 7.
Hmm… oldest book of the bible by record is Job 2nd millennium BC and chapter 42 has Godzilla. Case closed.
Gabara goes full lore mode on Godzilla
😂
I kinda would like to check out the beast from 20,000 fathoms though.
Did they mimic the scene where Artic Giant walks through the street and his tail hits a building in Zilla 98?
just for you being a larson simp gonna give you a dislike
You know this whole thing in this super man episode could've been prevented if they had a backup generator.
your a ripoff. what? your a ripoff. aha i,ve got you now. wait what just happend. had me laughing so hard.
This haves color the first Godzilla movie had no color
Loved the Cartoon where the Man of Steel fought the Arctic Giant. It's the Closest we'll ever come to seeing Superman vs Godzilla.
Hey MIB I wanted to see if I can request a video about a mobile game called Godzilla: Omniverse
Will Orga ever react to Godzilla 2000 movie?
I don’t think it matter if Godzilla is a ripoff of Arctic Giant due to this film “in fact all the Superman films from Paramount” are in the public domain meaning their is no copyright infringement being made.
