Gotta be honest, the main reason why I do praise gamera vs jiger more than the rest of the “kid friendly” Showa era gamera movies

is due to the fact that not only has a lot of impressive setpieces, awesome kaiju fights, the inclusion of expo 70 and the fact that jiger is a cool kaiju but it does have a darker themes of ignorance that makes it interesting especially that this movie feels quite similar to gamera vs barugon but with a different tone since vs barugon is darker while vs jiger is kid friendly

since either of these movies followed characters who wanted grand achievement of using something important that make them powerful and rich only to cause consequences that bite them in the back by unleashing monstrous creatures that terrorized the living and the characters suffered because of it and jiger definitely represented the allegory of ignorance and how she was unleashed because of human greed like barugon

And “firewood media” said the best himself that the movie is an allegory of ignorance and greedy similar to vs barugon but with the tone changed

The rest of the Showa era gamera kid friendly movies while entertaining at best but they don’t have interesting themes that makes them standout compare to these two, some did have themes but they didn’t go anywhere with them and others are just monsters beating each other for reasons and nothing more

And I haven’t realized about this theme of gamera vs jiger up until firewood media describes it in his review on that movie and it got me inspired and I just started to appreciate this entry a lot more than the rest of the “kid friendly” entries

Though, gamera vs jiger is still not a masterpiece compare to gamera vs barugon since it’s still has some flaws especially that the characters are forgettable and the fact that it’s kinda baffling that the characters especially the adults and children worried to much on expo 70 being destroyed rather than the Osaka itself and they felt like they were treating the expo 70 like it’s a church or something

But for now on, gamera vs barugon and gamera vs jiger are my personal favorites of the Showa era because of their interesting yet darker themes of human greed and ignorance

Just recently rewatched ishiro Honda’s 1957 scifi alien invasion movie “the mysterians”

And it’s easily one of toho’s underrated movies especially that even if it doesn’t feature any kaiju in it, it’s still a great alien invasion story in general with some likable and memorable characters, impressive special effects, some iconic and memorable aliens and it does feature a lot of iconic moments

(yes moguera is in it but I don’t consider moguera a kaiju since he’s just a giant robot, not an organic monster)

I also do like that the characters are intelligent because even if the aliens tried to convince them to have peace but they still refuse to let the aliens manipulate them and even if their some of their tactics sometimes failed but i still do appreciate that they at least come up with new tactics and never give up especially that the aliens themselves even if their evil at least they do have reasonable motivations in why they want to invade the earth since their planet is destroyed and their population is in peril and it just seriously makes them a little sympathetic, thought their counterattack is bit clunky considering that they attacked first by sending moguera before making contact

And speaking of moguera, even if he didint appeared all that to much, it’s still an iconic robot in every scene he’s in, especially during the beginning of the movie when the aliens unleashed him before he gets destroyed on the bridge, though I do find his reappearance in the climax when he tried to drill underground to tip over the laser cannons to be kinda pointless considering that his appearance at the end makes no difference to the story especially that the aliens are gonna loose anyway especially that I do find the moment when moguera gets crushed by the laser cannon to be kinda laughable and hilarious

Overall, it’s easily one of the most underrated toho movies with some likable characters, reasonable motivations of the aliens and alot of iconic moments

(10/10)
