Instead it is a topic of discussion among science fiction enthusiasts who enjoy the popular Japanese monster movie genre where Godzilla is known as King of the Monsters and Gamera is invincible.

Godzilla had done so well, that Daiei Studios, decided to try to break into the Japanese monster movie market.
Toho Studios dominated that market with their Godzilla success.

You've watched all of the Godzilla movies, the shows and maybe you're even a collector of action figures, but how tall is Godzilla, exactly?
Godzilla's exact height, as portrayed in fiction and in movies throughout the years, has changed dramatically.
Because of this, the social idea of grandiosity has changed significantly over the years, and nowhere is this reflected more perfectly than in Godzilla's fictional change in height through the decades.
The fictional monster known as Godzilla was first introduced to the world in the 1954 original Japanese movie of the same title.
In the movie Godzilla, a main character named Dr. Yamane estimated the height of the beast at around 50 meters high.
This means that if that original Godzilla were real, his head would reach well over half the height of the Statue of Liberty.
The original Godzilla was a terrible threat to the city, and by the end of the movie he completely destroyed the city, before being killed by a new and deadly weapon of mass destruction called the Oxygen Destroyer.
In 1955, the sequel Godzilla Raids Again introduces a new monster, nearly identical to the first, that goes on another rampage.
This second Godzilla is exactly the same height as the first, and fictionally survives through 14 Japanese sequel films up through 1975.
In the mid 1980's, new Godzilla movies hit the big screen throughout Japan, and a Godzilla craze sparked in the U.S. in 1985, following the 1984 release of the Japanese film.
The movie was such a hit, that there was yet another sequel in 1989 titled Godzilla vs. Biollante, and again in 1991 with the film Godzilla vs. King Ghidora.
At one point Godzilla even battled an over-sized King Kong.
The early 90s saw five more series films featuring this now mythical beast, but given that the height of the original Godzilla was 167 feet, many fans often ask, how tall is Godzilla today?
The following list details Godzilla's change in height depending on decade.
From 1954 through 1975, Godzilla was featured as standing 167 feet tall.
In the 1984 sequel, the new Godzilla stood an impressive 267 feet (80 meters).
Subsequent to the 1995 film, the appetite of Western moviegoers for Godzilla films started to fade.
However, that didn't prevent director Takao Okawara from attempting to re-ignite public interest with the 1999 film Godzilla 2000.
Now that you know how tall Godzilla is - does it matter?
The issue of Godzilla's height makes for an excellent topic of discussion to examine whether the social and technological environment of a culture factor into what "size" an movie audience would consider extraordinarily large.
If you are a fan of the famous Godzilla series of movies, then you probably remember one of the most popular and revered of them all; Godzilla vs. The Thing.
While Godzilla fans have elements of every movie they love, this particular release is one that many fans consider the best Godzilla movie of all time.
There are very few people who've never heard of the creature known as Godzilla.
No one could have imaged that only nine years later, Japan would produce one of the greatest cult classic movies of all time - the 1954 film titled Godzilla.
The film was actually focused upon the terrible environmental and potentially devastating genetic effects of nuclear weapons, since the creature known as Godzilla was born from the after-effects of a nuclear explosion.
Godzilla was the most popular and remains the most recognized creature of all of those films.
After the popularity of Godzilla, the Japanese film makers produced a sequel the following year titled Godzilla Raids Again.
Seven years later, Japanese producers created the best selling film of the series of all time called King Kong vs. Godzilla.
Only two years later, Japanese film makers released Godzilla vs. Mothra, which many Godzilla fans consider to be the best Godzilla movie of all.
Due to the large American following of Godzilla films, this release was the first that came out both in Japan and in the United States at the same time.
The American film was edited from the Japanese version, and retitled Godzilla vs. The Thing.
Like most of the other early films, this release featured Godzilla as a looming and catastrophic threat to Japan.

The real inspiration for the god Mothra came when Godzilla discovered the giant egg and attempted to destroy it.
The god Mothra, a creature that looked like a cross between a giant moth and a bee, arrived on the scene and attacked Godzilla in a mythic battle that left audiences stunned as it appeared that Mothra was about to destroy Godzilla forever.
At the last moment, Godzilla mortally attacked Mothra with his atomic ray.
All seemed lost and Japan appeared doomed as Godzilla continued on his path of destruction.
The young Mothra chased Godzilla, captured him with a cocoon web and forced him to go back to the sea where he came from.
The young Mothra larvae returned to Infant Island with the Shobijin people, and Japan was once again saved from the horrible fate that Godzilla had in store for it.
If you're interested in watching this film, you'll need to decide whether you want to watch the American version, or the Japanese version titled Godzilla vs. Mothra.
There are some differences between the two, but in both cases you'll see what most fans describe as the best Godzilla movie of them all.

With Destroyah flying through the skies over Tokyo, Godzilla joined his son in the battle.
The pair hold their own until Destroyah swooped down, picked up Godzilla Junior and tossed him into a nuclear reactor.
Godzilla tried to revive his son with his radioactive breath without effect.
However a larger Godzilla Junior makes a comeback at the end of the film.

However, Toho didn't really end the Godzilla franchise here.
In 2000 they introduced a new series of Godzilla films, a move still debated among fans.
