Shin Godzilla’s 5th form was certainly freaky but it didn’t sit well with some of the fandom. Here’s the kaiju’s controversial 5th form explained.

Godzilla first unleashed itself upon the world in 1994 with the seminal Japanese classic. The film, about a panicked Japan scrambling to stop the titular monster from rampaging through the country as it inches ever closer towards Tokyo, stunned audiences with its dire scenario. An American version was released in 1956, which re-edited the original film and shot scenes with Raymond Burr as the main character to appeal to western audiences. The series has seen literally dozens of films since, of varying quality.
