Agreed! Plenty of versions of Godzillas are God level threats, to use One Punch Man terminology, but Showa Godzilla has the Bugs Bunny factor. He'll win in the end with all his wacky gags.
Not really, while writers have conflicting statements on what happened. One writer says that the character was just "The God Mountain" with no real statements going beyond that, where the other writer of the issue where he killed God stated that the God that was killed was THE God of IDW's Megaverse, which would put him in line with Higher Scalings and Beyond to thing like Dungeons and Dragons which were part of the IDW Megaverse. So really, it depends on which writer's statements you take, but all the writers have also stated that it's also up to interpretation.
I will say, IDW is too much left to interpretation. I think Super Godzilla is prolly the strongest. Homie is like an 8th Dimensional Being fighting Bagan who's an even more powerful Dimensional Being.
Yeah he kills God Mountain, whos stated to be the creator of the entire Godzilla cosmology, took his power after killing him. The being he killed at the end of the series was supposed to be God Mountain's counterpart. Take it as you will, if you think it's Yog-Sothoth then it is Yog-Sothoth.
Marvel Godzilla: He was always among the most powerful versions but now he actually scales to the modern version of Marvel's cosmology and the feats he's done in the recent crossover amps him by a fucking insane amount.
Godzilla in Hell: A contender with Kratos as THE TwitterStatement-Man. But being honest, to me, if the statements come from the literal creators of the story, then I see no good reason to blindly disregard them. The God Mountain was confirmed to have created the Godzilla Multiverse, which in IDW contains all of the Toho Godzillas. And NO he did NOT die in a planetary explosion. Godzilla legally cannot be killed by IDW. He can be defeated, but not killed.
However a misconception is that the God Mountain created the entire IDW Megaverse, except that doesn't make... any sense, if you think about it for more than two minutes. At most, it's just the Godzilla multiverse, and perhaps the other universes that Godzilla crosses over with, but that's it.
Godzillla Ultima: This is most people's answer, and it's easy to see how. If you want to give yourself a migraine, try powerscaling Godzilla Ultima using both the show and novel. Trust me, coming from someone who does powerscaling, it is NOT worth it. Infinity dimensional, the novel actually implies Ultima has some form of narrative manipulation. It cannot be killed, it cannot be defeated, it can only be delayed.
DC Godzilla ain't all that. None of DC's crossovers are canon to the main continuity. I am aware of one statement from the writer that the Superman Godzilla fought was "as strong as the main one" but to me that statement is shaky at best.
The fact is; Marvel Godzilla fought THE 616 Marvel universe, but DC Godzilla just fought some random generic enough DC universe. To me none of the JLA in that crossover are realistically as powerful as their mainline versions.
As for Super-Godzilla, he is powerful but even regular Heisei by 1994 and ESPECIALLY Burning Godzilla would be stronger.
Yeah, agreed. It's definitely between those three currently.
Personally, I'd give the strongest crown to Godzilla In Hell, but I'm still waiting to see what Marvel Godzilla is going to do in his remaining issues as this could very well turn the tides in his favor.
I thought the comments about Godzilla killing God in GiH were proven to be fake and the other writer said upfront that it was just a mountain god (lowercase), no religion involved whatsoever. Plus didn't Godzilla get his ass kicked much of GiH and get killed repeatedly, even giving up at one point to defeat? I don't think he even really did much to the guardian monster, which sent Godzilla flying with one attack. I took GIH as more metaphorical about Godzilla facing his own hubris.
Ultima I feel so conflicted about. His onscreen showings weren't any more impressive than any other Godzillas imo. The comments made from writers conceptually talk about him in such a way that you'd expect so much more from him on screen but there was nothing really so impressive about how he fought any of the kaiju.
I wonder if it was Ultima himself that was powerful or the 4th dimensional being that would have sent him? Idk...this one goes over my head. I truly don't get Ultima aside from it's a 4th dimensional being sort of like void Ghidorah (Which seemed to be a bigger threat imo), which to me simply means that Ultima may not be so special from his own dimension. His power just happens to come from he operates outside the rules of our dimension.
I just don't know if it's more impressive than being top dawg out of all the creatures in your native dimension.
Ultima can rewrite all possibilities with them winning, his breathe is literally Temporal in nature (and it functions similar to Simon’s probability missiles) and they needed a VERY SPECIFIC WAY to actually BEAT him, cause IT is apparently immortal.
At the moment, the technical strongest is Godzilla Ultima since he's a symptom of a much worse problem that would've resulted in the destruction of the universe.
SuperGodzilla, obviously. Injected with a serum made from a combination of Godzilla and King Ghidorah’s cells, giving him what he needs to defeat Bagan, he who was born in Super-Ancient China shrouded in legend and myth.
I don’t care what anyone says; Showa’s definitely the strongest; he specifically specializes in beating opponents stronger than him, as seen in the Champion Series of the Showa era, in addition to GTTHM and IoAM, though those latter two could just be rationalized as him locking in to beat Ghidorah.
He only occasionally fights weaker monsters such as Ebirah or Gabara.
And no, Heisei’s not beating him, especially considering Showa’s intelligence and wisdom; he’s not not letting Heisei get the drop on him, and if he does, then he’ll strategize. If that fails, he can rely on his canonically overpowered plot armor.
He can be like Top 5 if you take a few statements saying he's the "strongest Godzilla so far" literally tbh...And that's the glaze I'll give him because I absolutely love Final Goji
Either DC or Godzilla Earth is gonna be the first to die. Next would be Regular Showa, followed by Ultima, then Marvel if you acknowledge he is Showa, just later down the line.
That leads to Super Godzilla, who’s a version of Heisei(Who Toho repeatedly, and still does quote as stronger than Showa) where Space Godzilla and Destoroyah never came to fruition, then Heisei himself, with the argument of who’s left being DC Godzilla if you wanna believe the Superman he does fight is equal to mainline, and Godzilla in Hell.
If Shin proved to be indestructible since he's ever evolving in response to trauma and attacks leveled at him, then an argument could be made that he is the most powerful.
You drop a nuke on Shin and you might meet a Dr. Manhattan form of Godzilla that could unravel all physics around him at will.
in my opinion godzilla earth is probably like the strongest cause his base form annhihlated a star with his atomic breath and also he fought a version of ghidorah who is basiclaly on ultima level of bullcrap like cosmic ghidorah straight up came from black holes absorbed energy SHOT GRAVITATIONAL BEAMS AND TO A DEGREE SORT OF BET THE RULES OF PHYSICS AROUND HIM . godzilla earth beat that so.... and also being so strong that humanity straight up decided nah fuck this and fled to another planet entirely only to fail and thus set in motion godzilla earth. also apprently godzilla earth managed to defeat humanity even when they were supported by alien allies. i dont know godzilla earth has some weird shit duder
Final Wars Godzilla since he's kind of an amalgamation of Showa, Heisei, and Millennium. He tore right through every Showa opponent (and Zilla) like they were tissue paper.
Television? Ultima, assuming you're including his true "IT" form. Hanna Barbara if we're only considering physical beings.
Video Game? No clue. Only played the Pipeworks games back in the day.
Comic? Very contentious:
Marvel Godzilla contended with characters from Marvel's main canon of Earth 616; even back in the day, characters like Hercules, Hulk and Thor were pretty busted.
DC Godzilla is hailed for defeating Superman, but there's a lot of "buts" and context that kinda brings his scaling down. Author statements vs feats, circumstance with the story, etcetera.
Godzilla in Hell is considered the strongest by many depending on how you scale him. The issue is there are a lot of conflicting statements just from the folks who worked on that comic, so it's hardly clear cut if he is a multiversal menace or not.
Showa has loonytoons abilities or something. I always think of that stupid kick and the time he talked....yeah at this point, the others would all be tearing into each other when Showa comes over with a big mallet and smashes them all
Not showa. Of live action movies, it’s probably MV Burning, but there’s an argument for Final Wars. Of animated, Earth. Of comics, it was In Hell but Destroys the Marvel Universe seems to be the new champion.
Ultima I’m not sure how to count because he’s kinda bad in a fight but also is a manifestation of a spacial anomaly.
Showa is eliminated first, then heisei. Super godzilla next, followed by Earth. Ultima, hell, marvel and dc godzilla are a lot harder. Marvel is undoubtedly op, but dc and hell are really tricky because with statements? Dc is op, hell solos all godzilla verses. Without them? They are both kinda weak. Ultima is also quite difficult because of all the true form stuff, but the one that we see onscreen is WEAK
Second place is probably Godzilla vs Thor Godzilla. Basically GMK Godzilla possessed by the demon that controls the Hand. Amplified with a piece of the Necrosword. Destroyed Asgard, went on a rampage through space and eventually ended up in an Eternal Duel with Thor in Valhalla.
Heisei goji was stated to be stronger than showa,and heisei goji is not even the strongest one here(it's problaly between godzilla in hell,marvel goji,dc goji,and ultima)
No, Showa Mecha g was made out of space titanium, which is like, how do I say this, Minecraft bedrock and he beat him. Also he can punch and kick people, which is kinda out of the league of Millenium’s super jump or whatever it’s called but he would atleast solo Millenium and Heisei(maybe marvel but idk)
