(My username is only a reference to a character in a TV series I watched years ago, it has nothing to do with my gender.) That's still pretty confusing. You have to admit you're username is a bit misleading. Anyway, I'm always confused when people say that they prefer the 1998 Godzilla over the other films. I'm not trying to criticize your opinion or anything. Zilla is a pretty cool kaiju, but to me, he just isn't Godzilla. The problem I had with 1998 film was the fact that they completely changed him. When you take a character or a creature from fiction and you radically redesign them, they aren't the same character anymore. Not only did Zilla look different from Godzilla, but he also behaved differently. He just wasn't Godzilla. What you view as original is precisely the problem for me. Zilla is an original Kaiju that is nothing like Godzilla. He barely even resembles him. As for all the Dino movie references, you can probably blame that on the scenes with the baby Zillas. There are several scenes that look like a shot for shot remake of the raptor scenes from Jurrassic Park. Plus, Zilla does look a lot like a Theropod. I'll always prefer the 2014 version over the 98 one.
