Showa Continuity:

Godzilla (1954)

Serizawa's sacrifice is in vain as Godzilla does not die, but is instead horribly weakened and maimed

Godzilla Raids Again (1956)

A) Would be given more production time (you may or not be aware that this movie was scripted, shot, and released in less than a year)

The same Godzilla from the first film, with hideous scarring a la ShinGoji, makes a destructive trek across Japan to tangle with Anguirus, who Godzilla defeats and kills.

Son of Godzilla (1957)

A similar film to the 1967 classic (I love that movie) but with a more serious tone and rdirect peril to the human cast from even smaller Kamacuras, and an even bigger Kumonga, introduces us to  a more human Godzilla and a world potentially full of monsters

Godzilla vs Gigantis (1958)

Godzilla fights a clone of himself, the origins of which are left unclear, and defeats him with the help of Minya.

Godzilla and Rodan (1960)

Godzilla and son team up with Rodan to bring down the ultimate foe: Ghidorah! Minya is killed by Ghidorah in the film's climax.

Godzilla: Invasion of the Astro-Monster (1961)

This entry introduces us to the alien origins of Ghidorah and reveals that Gigantis was created by the Xiliens. Godzilla and Rodan once again fight together to bring down Space Ghidorah (a purpleish Ghidorah that breathes fire)

Mothra vs Godzilla (1962)

Godzilla is back on Earth and Rodan is nowhere to be seen.

This film plays out similar to the original Mothra vs Godzilla

King Kong vs Godzilla (1964)

Better Kong suit. Stronger story. Godzilla is definitively killed at the end.

MORE TO COME!!!
