I have another edit I need to get onto, but for this one, this follows on one premise:
Godzilla Raids Again, while it is a great movie, feels more like a proper last half of Gojira than it does as it’s own movie. I had the idea for a while, and I toyed with my own DVD rips, but nothing came of it. But what I wanted to do, since I had already the Criterion Gojira, was to throw the proper edits and make it work. Considering the niche community of Godzilla faneditors as it is , I felt like I could offerm y own vision for it.
The Raiding of Godzilla is a fanedit that merges both narratives into a cohesive whole. Three hours of somber monster film, and monster fighting. It follows the tragic narrative of Dr. Yamane’s story until the end. A creature that was thought of as a god is all too real as Godzilla wreaks havoc on the city of Tokyo. With the relief of Godzilla’s death, the people of Japan were relieved.
But they were met with another.
… Notes… Author’s Notes
Originally, and perhaps in a later edit, I wanted to actually cut all the footage of the second film and use the monster fighting and any related footage to create what my vision for a Godzilla film would work like. You know, magnify the impact of the attacks.
In a future version, I want to do an alternate version that combines King of the Monsters into the mix as well. I’ll set up the Gojira/KOTM thread as well.
…Changes…
In this edit that I have done:
-Merged both films into a single narrative.
-Cut the ending kanji of Gojira.
-Cut the main intro sequence of Godzilla Raids Again.
-Added a transition that seamlessly connects both movies.
-Used the highest quality video available for both movies. The Fan Restoration of Godzilla Raids Again that is on here provided what I ultimately needed, as well as the Criterion version.
