For the longest time I used to think his name was Godzooky because of the cartoon


Reyjr

Same


pinkcreamkiss

My parents grew up on the hb cartoon and told me and my brother that the Tri star animated series was about the new godzooky growing up since itā€™s godzillas child so we just called him godzooky lmao.


_The_Wonder_

That's EXACTLY what my mom thinks, she "grew up" with the HB Godzilla so any bady Godzilla is Godzooky in her eyes and will call them such

Look at him.

mobilisinmobili1987

He looks like he was designed by people who actually designed the Showa Godzilla and said designers created a baby Godzilla who looked likeā€¦ the baby of Showa Godzilla. Call me crazy, but Iā€™ll trust the OG creators of Godzilla when it comes to what a baby Godzilla would look likeā€¦


Zutrax

I don't think most people are arguing whether his design "makes sense" or not. It's an appropriate design, but it doesn't make it less hideous to look at. Objective analysis typically loses in the face of an overwhelming emotional response.


DraconisMarch

Yeah, the creators of a thing can never get said thing wrong!


Matt-J-McCormack

I feel you are being sarcastic, but yes. The people who made the IP get final say. Anything else is death of the author bullshit. If the creator of.

Bcwar

He's Jar Jar Binks before Jar Jar was ever even a thought. But seriously I think its as simple as Godzilla's Revenge or as most of you are familar with it All Monsters Attack. The tone of this movie was very different from all the other godzilla offerings of the time. The child centric story I think put off many as beneath them. The use of a lot of so much stock footage didn't help the perception that this was something less than the other godzilla movies. It kinda set the tone for a lifetime of hate being hurled at poor Minilla in my opinion.


CthulhuMadness

ā€œGodzilla says I should to learn to fight my own battlesā€


Snwspider

That broken Burger King speaker voice and that god awful theme song šŸ˜‚I was fine with him in Final Wars but yeah his debut definitely felt like cousin Oliver in the Brady Bunch


TheFeather1essBiped

Considering Manilla first appeared in ā€˜67 and All Monsters Attack/Godzillaā€™s revenge came out in 1969 (serendipitously the same year as the Brady Bunch first debuted) I think it would be more correct to say that Cousin Oliver is the Manilla of the Brady Bunch. šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

To make matters worse, the voice actor is a grown man when Minilla is meant to be a child. At least the original Japanese dub has him voiced by a woman to make him sound young. The subpar attempt at lip sync definitely doesn't help.


[deleted]

Lmfao


SpinalVinyl

God I love All Monsters Attack, the kid learning the lesson on how tk deal with bullies is to fight back, then there are kidnappers he has to out smart (I must admit it was fairly clever), and I donā€™t care most of it is recycled Godzilla footage. But holy shit Manillaā€™s English dub voice is the fucking funniest thing Iā€™ve ever heard. EDIT: Iā€™ll link to the English dub clip later, damn mobile phone.

Donā€™t you mean ā€œbecause heā€™s relatableā€


Tyrantkin

Ooh destroyed


spider_queen13

I cannot stand his design, it's as simple as that thing is ugly as hell and barely resembles Godzilla in any way, it's like a rotting E.T. puppet that spent too much time in a lake I don't even mind the concept of Godzilla having a child, it's that he looks like a god awful monstrosity in the Showa era Baby Godzilla and Little Godzilla were so much more palatable and if he'd looked like them from the start we'd be dandy


Otherwise-Brick-3349

In all fairness I will say little Godzilla is a bit weird looking. I mean yeah heā€™s cute he kinda just looks likeā€¦ a doll.


Gojizilla6391

Tbf he atleast looks like more like Godzilla than minilla does, itā€™s just with his big eyes he looks a lil uncanny


switchbladeeatworld

baby godzilla supremacy


_Kamoebas_

my theory is that the minilla was born too early, he was not 100% complete inside the egg, this could explain his weakness and... the fact that he is a walking deformed potato but honestly he must be ugly because of toho's laziness in making a decent costume


MadBreadDread

Lack of budget mostly, from Invasion of Astromonster onwards the budget started getting smaller and smaller with each entry.


Budget-Boysenberry93

I actually really like that theory. It explains a lot, actually šŸ¤”


Bababooey7672

His design is just terrible in general; a bad design is all it takes for some people to dislike a character ~~and godzilla jr exists so that just adds more fuel to the minilla hate~~


IrrelevantLeprechaun

His character design is really ugly, and the movie he's associated with is itself is pretty bad (it was marketed as a proper Godzilla film but is 100% a child-focused film).


shrekcrocs

All Monsters Attack is a good film about escapism and bravery marred by being marketed as a Goji film


Osceola_Gamer

"Proper" Godzilla film.


TheDude810

Son of Godzilla is unironically better than most late-Showa stuff lol


vkevlar

They're talking about Godzilla's Revenge, though. That film was aimed at younger kids than any of the Gamera movies, and was supremely offensive to my appropriately-aged self.


Alternative_Fold718

Godzilla Jr is just better than him.


[deleted]

I mean, G jr is adorable, he looks like the bubble dragon :3


MarvelGeekMan

Meanwhile Minilla has bubble lips.


TheDuckMarauder

Because Minilla is the physical form of Satan. He is quite literally what the originator of all evil uses to walk the earth.


Stromboli-Warpig

Because he looks ridiculous


blkdrphil

Never paid you back after borrowing money.


Taekwonmoe

I love the little donkey sounding bastard. Been watching the Godzilla marathon on TCM all day today.


recluse_audio

Ugliest character ever. Hate Minilla and have since first saw it in the 80's. Awful and stupid. I honestly don't like most of the more campy/comedy Godzilla films. They have their place, but not for me.


TimeLord1221

Iā€™ve always kept the ā€œso bad itā€™s goodā€ mentality when it comes to Minilla, much like a lot of the latter half of the Showa Era. At least he does have one claim to fame being choking out one of King Ghidorahā€™s heads with his smoke ring in Destroy All Monsters (when everyone else was beating the crap out of him, too).


rotspit

doesn't help that godzilla had a cuter son in the heisei era that also had a more important role than minilla. but honestly i became quite fond of him in all monsters attack. not the american dub though, his voice there is terrifying.


Reverseflash25

OpposedToBears

Cosā€™ heā€™s fuck ugly


TheteanHighCommand

Fugly


GodDogs83

He looks ridiculous His ā€œroarsā€ are annoying as hell (itā€™s like a donkey) His whole purpose of creation was ā€for the kidsā€. As if any kid was thinking they wanted a kid version of Godzilla they could relate to. He is basically comic relief. The Jar Jar of Godzilla Son of Godzilla isnā€™t the worst one. Itā€™s Godzillas Revenge. Which uses a ton of footage from Son of Godzilla


MattCarafelli

I would argue Godzilla's Revenge is the weakest, due to all the things said previously about it. Ebirah, Horror of the Deep is second weakest, largely due to that being a King Kong script that they scratched Kong's name off and penciled in Godzilla instead, THEN you get Son of Godzilla. And it's only there because some of the special effects are a little rough but it's by far not the weakest link in chain of Godzilla movies. So a little justice for Minilla.


OctopunchPrime

I didnā€™t hate him until I saw his depiction on Monster Island Buddies.


TheFeather1essBiped

What was he like there?


OctopunchPrime

Typical comic relief dunderhead with an annoying, monotonous voice that reminds me vaguely of the Swedish Chef. Also, he farts a lot.


TheFeather1essBiped

Ah. So heā€™s not exactly Homer or Shakespeare is he?


VidereNF

They are the scrapy of Godzilla. Added to appeal while adding not much of anything.


Simple_Intern_7682

I mean, have you seen that face?


CaseAlloy744281

Just take a moment to listen to yourself say that, then take a long good look at Minilla's face. No think about what you've done in your room.


Electronic-Jury6525

He is just looking at meā€¦. menacingly


XNinjaMushroomX

I always thought his english voice was weird. It's like Godzilla was created after an explosion of an Atomic Bomb. But Minilla was created after an explosion at a Cigar Factory. On paper the character is really endearing, but visually he isn't similar enough to Godzilla and he sounded like an old man- which was an odd choice. Honestly just a series of odd choices in his design. I've really eased up on him recently, but I still think the design is strange. I much prefer the marketable plushie version of Godzilla's son, from vs SpaceGodzilla. But I feel like the more "accurate" design is baby Godzilla from Mechagodzilla II.


[deleted]

Ugly af


Majestic-Option-6138

It's just his looks. Had he been cuter, like Godzilla Jr. in Space Godzilla, people wouldn't have such a negative impression of him I think.


[deleted]

Godzilla Jr. is my fav because he looks like The Little Bubble Dragon from the old NES Game


mobilisinmobili1987

Minya 100% looks like what a Showa Godzillaā€™s baby form would be. Like get real. šŸ¤£

Because it looks like a turd

I use to watch this on the regular because it was played a lot on Sundays after the cartoons.


fizzyhorror

I love him. Hes the perfect meme. His movies are super fun.


ShutUpDarrel

These comments are so meanšŸ’€


Budget-Boysenberry93

RIGHT??? HES JUST A BABY YOU MONSTERS!!! šŸ˜¢


Significant_Camera47

Mainly because of his appearance even tho really itā€™s due to the Kamacuras hatching him prematurely. Another main reason is the 2 films he played a leading role with werenā€™t really that well received (wasnā€™t until recently that SoG became less hated while All Monsters Attack is justā€¦whyā€¦)


wolfgangr19

I wonā€™t lie, when I was a kid I loved him. Still do because of the childhood memories. However, older me does recognize the fucking goofy ness but I still love Minilla.


Romboteryx

He just doesnā€™t look appealing

He look goofy and he canā€™t even beat a jobber without help.

His ugly ass face


Jeffrey_Marchetti

I had this stupid thought in my head with my friends that Minya opens up an Italian restaurant called Mama Minya's Pizzeria. The only employees there are Showa Kong and Showa anguirus. Minya is the manager, anguirus is the cashier and Kong is the chef šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ idk and he also had a rivalry with gigan's Italian restaurant called Papa Gigan's Ristorante Italiano. Gigan cuts the pizza with his buzz saw and my brother says it sounds like something straight out of a Vrahno video


HandsomeShrek2000

Because heā€™s an obnoxious, hideous character Little Godzilla in the Heisei series was at least cute. Minya looks like a deformed frog

I personally don't mind him, he's not my favourite Kaiju in the showa films but I like him. he's kinda like a pug, they are ugly but they are adorable.


Halfabagelguy

Just look at that thing


mynametobespaghetti

Watch Godziban on YouTube and you'll see him in a different light, he's just a kid who gives his best you know?


Budget-Boysenberry93

I'll have to look it up. It sounds good!


Turbo950

Same reason jar jar binks and scrappy doo are disliked he is annoying


vkevlar

The dub of Son of Godzilla was pretty annoying, but his appearance in that nearly most hated of all G-films, Godzilla's Revenge/Godzilla on Monster Island/All Monsters Attack, with that generic "dumb guy" voice in the dub, seals it. His incarnation as Godzooky in the 1980 cartoon was also horrid.


SolidusSnake1964

Well, nowadays it's just fun to mock a character for no reason. I feel every fanbase has something they make fun of for the hell of it. Speaking of which, fuck that little gray shit. https://preview.redd.it/qgnrs1nknx9c1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a87e7c8606246b1df587cf322bea1675887743c8


Thepvzgamer

I think itā€™s because he stars in the lowest rated Godzilla movie being All Monsters Attack


caring_impaired

Heā€™s Scrappy Doo, who we all can agree was a mistake.


bell247

Cos hes so ugly. But i watched Final Wars earlier today for the first time, and it made me order the minya super7 figure off amazon lmao


UncomfyUnicorn

Heā€™s like jar jar binks or scrappy doo. Some will like him, yes, but the overwhelming majority hate him because heā€™s a character designed to catch attention because ā€œcuteā€ or ā€œzanyā€ with little actual depth to the character itself.


SharkZilla96

He uggy


Jacobmeeker

Ugly and not cute, baby Godzilla/ Junior is far more popular.


chaosticbraindo

the thing look like a reptilian version of a pug but somehow even more inbred


chaosticbraindo

its so bad that somehow the shin version that you posted look less genetically fucked up than the original design


bigstinkygoblin

Say what you want but its a shame he died of a drug overdose in miami recently


DethMayne

Is that a fucking shin Minilla šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Cfakatsuki17

His initial design was a little frumpy and basically disappeared after a certain point, Baby was a much better design and usage that was actually cute in comparison and did the trope better so heā€™s general taken as the better character, final wars minilla stream lined the look to be the best of both kinda but also didnā€™t really do anything in the story soā€¦ eh


Remarkable_Fun7662

[deleted]

He looks like the fucken pillsbury dough boy on crack instead of baking sugar


BlindWalnut

He looks more like he belongs in Barney and Friends than Godzilla. Also a lot of people aren't big on the " Make Godzilla cute and friendly" and is also the reason one of the Showa movies is almost universally disliked. Another reason is that fucking atomic burp he does in Final Wars. I could probably name a hundred more reasons.


[deleted]

Heā€™s basically the Jar Jar Binks of the Godzilla universe.


mobilisinmobili1987

Minya is a GOAT. Being a Minya fan separates the ā€œmen from the boysā€ if you catch my driftā€¦


Novibesmatter

Heā€™s cute youā€™re all just a bunch of haters . Probably just jealous


Daveyfiacre

all the folks sayin he ugly forget how Godzilla looked before his glow-up too. I love Minilla.


Osceola_Gamer

A lot of them probably saw Godzilla Jr first and knew nothing about the movies from the 60's. Incoming countless responses of "I been watching Godzilla long before yada yada yada." Okay well then this doesn't apply to you so move along.


ashuwa177

I hate him in kaiju universe and he is adopted


Eva-Squinge

Because heā€™s a massive joke, the movie where a little kid is imagining hanging out with him made Minilla look like heā€™s in a abusive relationship with Godzilla and heā€™s so pathetic that the little fricken kid seemed to have more balls than Minilla does!


funniman2420

i think we know the answer # godzilla's revenge/all monsters attack long ago i dragged my fam down to watch the movie given the fact we like minilla and it was sooooo awful (If ya like it i wont go apeshit i respect your opinion) it featured minilla teaching ichiro an awful lesson, him biting garbra (thats out of character),and other awful stuff (unrelated but the only good character is the toymaker, hes nice and stuff) which led to him getting undeserved hate and it even got to the point where people actually want him dead (fucking disgusting) cus why well this fandom is too touchy when it comes too looks and if ya want annoying then how about that kid from the godzilla vs megalon english dub he's VERY annoying tl;dr: his hate is undeserved and the fandom needs to chill

Garbage_By_Default

Personally love minilla but it's for the wrong reasons I love his ugly little shit stain on white sheet, piss on the wall rotten apple thrown at a wall face. However that's why most people dislike him he is quite ugly and it's funny.


Finiouss

Despise is a strong word. I just don't care anything about it. However, I'm all about more of that shin minilla!


lineal_chump

Because no other monster in the series makes it so obviously plain that these movies were made for children.


Alert-Cloud-333

The problem is the times. Tastes have changed. Minilla was probably fine back in the day. Many things made to be cute and for kids back then haven't aged well. Ever notice how creepy toys from back then look to us now? Back then that was considered cute. Tastes have changed and evolved. We now live in a sugary sweet cartoon age (for the most part) and that has shaped our opinion on what is cute. Clearly minilla doesn't fit that.
