Who has been the best "athletic supporter" to the Big-G over the years?

Anguirus
Jat Jaguar
Godzilla Jr.
King Seesar
Mothra
Rodan

Though he's the undisputed king of kaiju (sorry Gamera, it's true), Godzilla's stepped on a lot of little people along the way. Troughout his cinematic adventures, Big G has had to rely on the occasional sidekick from time to time to get the job done. As such, who's been his biggest right hand man/monster over the years?

Although they didn't see eye to eye at first (see "Godzilla Raids Again"), Godzilla and Anguirus are probably the best kaiju team on Earth. Sure Rodan has been on more battle missions with the Big-G than Anguirus, but Rodan's a lazy slob and doesn't nearly have the same fighting spirit as Godzilla's anklyosaurian friend. I would include Mothra on the list of Godzilla's better allies, but she's a backstabbing b*tch as she's constantly switching sides! In one film she's trying to take Godzilla down, in another, she's helping him out! Sheesh! :bouncegiggle:  :wink:  :teddyr:

By Godzilla Jr. do you mean Godzilla Jr. or Minya?

And I suppose you mean only monsters who have helped Zilla over the years are included and not his numerous rivals, correct?

What???  No Ghidora???

And all of them have been both ally and enemy at some point, so that really shouldn't rule any of them out.  Well, maybe not Jet Jaguar, but I think I've blocked that movie out because the overdubbed voice of the kid in that movie made me want to punch bunny rabbits.

sidekicks only for this, nobody like Ghidorah, Megalon, Gigan or other all enemy type monsters.

I guess I could have read more closely.....sorry about that.   :lookingup:

In that case, I'll go with Anguirus also.

I went with Mothra on the grounds that she,(or it), looks real cool,compared to the others. Minya always irratated the p**s outta me...but not as much as that sniviling little kid!

I have to agree with you, Mothra is THE sidekick monster. She's the only monster ever to beat Godzilla, and had the guts to challenge King Ghidorah all by herself! That's what I call a tough bean  :cheers:

i always thought jet jaguar got a bad rap of it. he was a size changing robot with a crazy joker-like grin so what not to like?!

Jet Jaguar deserves every single syllable of bad press he's received.  Stupid, pompous can-do robot!  If his hubris mechanism were properly installed, he would have killed that obnoxious kid while he was in control of his own destiny.  I'm totally with Snivelly on this; that kid would be freakin' PERFECT for Suicide Club.  All he'd have to do is ask for a biscuit and I'd be feverishly slicing through my wrists with a butter knife.  The English-dub voice is the harshest thing I have ever subjected myself to.  Worse than Celine Dion, worse than Mel Gibson's Scottish accent, worse than the blond kid in all those Fulci films.  AGH!!!!!!!!  *falls to floor, panting and drooling*

Sorry, I lost control for a moment.  :drink:  *wipes forehead, straightens tie*

I voted for Anguirus, but only because the twin princesses weren't on the Mothra ticket.  :teddyr:

Mothra is a good monster sure, but (s)he never DOES anything....flappy flappy around.  The larval mothra's were of some help, but the adult form is mostly useless. 
I go with Angirius, he's a definite sidekick, and is usually useful.  Yet doesn't upstange his boss.  A giant spiky straight man. 


Anyone wonder why Mothra never just went off to circle a lighthouse?

That voice should be declared cruel and unusual punishment.

I rather like Mothra, but sometimes she does seem limited in what she can actually do.
