Been honest, I thought the same. Before anyone has a go at me, the reason for this is because the 1998 film and animated series that followed was my first 'encounter' with the monster king - I was only 6 or 7 years old at the time.

It wasn't until a few years later in 2003/2004 when I found a monster encyclopedia and found the real Godzilla been referenced and then did some internet searching that I learned about the true king of the monsters.

As such, I didn't go through the 'Rage Phase' that a lot of the passionate fans did who had been watching the Monster King for years, and for a while I saw both of them as Godzilla but just different versions. Now though, I see Toho's version as the official Monster King, while Zilla and Zilla Junior are separate but unique monsters. I still enjoy watching the animated series from time to time on YouTube or other video websites - and I prefer Zilla Junior over his dad from the 1998 film.
