I would've never guessed that the same guy who drew some of the US Mega Man box arts also worked on a couple Godzilla box arts. Nice trivia!

The covers that had regular dinosaurs on them were the oddest to me, because did the people that made those think that nobody would be able to tell the difference between Godzilla and a damn Carnotaurus?

5:50 Kevin, Kevin, and Kevin

You talking about how inaccurate the fire-breaths were reminds me of a high school art project I did. We had to paint a ceiling tile a picture of our choice. I chose the Japanese poster for Destroy All Monsters while also putting the movie's American title at the bottom. I asked my art teacher if I could replace he fire-breaths in the poster with the monster's more accurate beams, which she approved.

10:14 The Greg Winters Godzilla vs. Mothra illustration is based on a Toho publicity shot for the film where Godzilla looks similarly off-model, with his mouth bleeding for whatever reason. At a glance, it looks like Toho might have used a miniature to represent Godzilla, one that wasn't closely modeled on the MosuGoji suit. (The Monster Zero VHS cover is also based on a Toho publicity still, IIRC.)

A video about Toho publicity photos might be fun. There are plenty of weird ones out there.

Something about the godzilla vhs artworks give such a profound sense of childhood memories. These vhs artworks are just so nostalgic, even the movies i haven’t seen as a child. No matter how cheap it looks, strange or misleading the covers can be, It’ll be a memory I’ll hold onto

6:34 This VHS cover art predicted Kaizer Ghidorah............kinda.

I can't get over how much Scimitar's "Terror of Mechagodzilla" cover with the tight shot of Godzilla staring at Mechagodzilla's chest and Mechagodzilla looking down on Godzilla looks like the cover of a romance novel.

Godzilla and megalon fighting on the twin towers is so peak

And so the strangeness of some godzilla art continues, lol.

5:49 how the hell did they get away with drawing Ghidorah this goofy.

5:25 I actually like that art a LOT

mothra is a tic tac

10:47 that's just a carnotorus

Ghidorah had fire breath for the promotional stills and Japanese posters for both 3 headed monster and monster x. Artist probably used them as reference

6:13 I love how you used R Truth to say this, considering this is the opposite of how he actually is, just like the movie posters themselves. 😂

10:48 this poster is so damn hilarious 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

8:00 guess they knew how ghidrah's wings as mecha king ghidrah would look like in shape

0:46 you just not gunna mention that Godzilla has a human nose

11:37 the fact that this is exactly what you described while talking about siren covers
