Old Sci-Fi Monsters

Old Sci-Fi monsters came in all shapes and sizes. There have been a countless number of them. And most were just as good as the Sci-Fi monsters we have today in our shows. Now, when most people think of old Sci-Fi, they think of the original Star Wars trilogy, or the Star Trek TV series. But I'm talking about the oldest. The ones that appeared in black and white films. You know, the time before color? And yes, there was such a time. Most old monsters are overlooked, and many have been left in the twentieth century by our twenty first century generation. The new generation prefers remakes, or the countless TV shows that are around today. Now, I won't be telling you about every single oldie out there, just one. It's my personal favorite: Godzilla. It's probably the best known, also.

Godzilla is really scary to me. I don't know why. Maybe it's the fact that they always film Godzilla movies in cities that I can recognize, or cities that seem very realistic. It also could be that Godzilla is a massive lizard that sometimes breathes fire, sometimes spits acid, sometimes lays eggs. I could go on. But there is something that seems absolutely harmless about Godzilla. There are 44 different versions of it. And I say "it" because there have been both male and female versions. It has been around for 60 years. And apparently, to celebrate it's 60th birthday, it's making a 45th version of itself. And yet, Godzilla is still true to it's heart: destroy major cities and wreak havoc upon millions of civilians and thousands of soldiers. And that is probably why I always have and always will love Godzilla. Thanks, Aidan.
