Gamera	comment	In 1965, a black-and-white kaiju movie was made by Daiei in order to cash in on the success of Toho's Godzilla franchise. That would star a legendary Friend to All Children known as Gamera.Gamera is essentially a giant turtle that flies by spinning around and saves Earth from danger on a regular basis. Unlike most other monsters, he was extremely benevolent toward humans.It all started with the Showa series. Aside from the first movie, the movies were in color and usually had Gamera fight other monsters. While not as popular as Godzilla, Gamera managed to become a moderate success. The series abruptly stopped in 1971 when Daiei filed for bankruptcy. Apart from Gamera: Super Monster, a 1980 film that was little more than a Clip Show, the Gamera franchise would be dormant for many years.The legacy of Gamera modestly carried on and particularly in America. After Gamera's first film premiered in U.S. theaters in a somewhat modified form, the first five sequels were shown constantly on local television stations in the '70s and '80s. The aforementioned eighth film Gamera: Super Monster aired on MTV at a time when they rarely showed movies and, was also released to local television. In the late '80s, the seventh film Gamera vs. Zigra had its long overdue release along with differently edited/dubbed versions of four other Gamera films via airings on USA Network and local stations as well as video releases from new distributor Sandy Frank. Gamera was introduced to a new audience when the Sandy Frank versions aired as episodes of the series Mystery Science Theater 3000. On the show, the films were derided for having too many cringe-worthy moments (one infamous scene had Gamera swing up and down a pole, Gymkata style), bad dubbing, and too much emphasis on the kids.Then, the Heisei series came. After a long wait, it was decided that the Gamera series should be revived. Shusuke Kaneko, who would later become famous for the Death Note movies, was chosen to direct a new Gamera trilogy. What we got was a drastic change from the previous series. The movies became much darker in tone, and the monsters were much more abstract than anything previously seen in a kaiju movie. The trilogy has been acclaimed by critics from both sides of the Pacific.After the Heisei trilogy ended, it took seven years for a new Gamera movie to come. Gamera The Brave, the fourth and long-thought-to-be final Gamera film of the Heisei era, held no relation to the previous three films, instead going for a full reboot of the franchise. It attempted to be more like the Showa films while still keeping the Heisei trilogy's tone. It tells the story of a younger Gamera named Toto by a young boy called Toru Aizawa, who raises him from a hatchling, having to rise up to face the threat of a frilled lizard monster called Zedus. While reception for this new film was positive, a sequel never materialized and the series once again fell back into hibernation.He was to get a new film in 2015, produced by Shigenori Takatera of Kamen Rider Kuuga and Daimajin Kanon fame, but restructuring of Kadokawa has led to a delay in the project. However, a 50th Anniversary short film doubling as a proof-of-concept trailer for a new feature in 2016-2017 was released at New York Comic Con 2015, directed by Katsuhito Ishii, who is also writing the new film.In 2022, a new Netflix anime series titled Gamera: Rebirth was announced for a yet unknown date. The trailer was released in early 2023, and the show is expected to premiere late in the summer of 2023.Films in the Gamera Franchise include:These are the Japanese titles of the official films.

Gamera / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: In addition to this series playing this role in relation to the Showa movies, Gamera becomes more savage-looking with each film. The final film in the trilogy takes this far further, with Gamera causing tons of collateral death and destruction protecting Earth from other monsters, and ending on a severely wounded and bloodied Gamera preparing to begin a fight he'll probably die in.

Gamera / int_21f3aa44	comment	Good is Not Nice: For the first two films, Gamera smashed stuff, but he was doing it to stop monsters and he was good about not killing people. Come Gamera 3, and it seems like Gamera is more of a Knight Templar who isn't worried about people getting caught in his fights. Either a) he has become more savage because there are more Gyaos, b) his link with Asagi/humanity made him more savage, c) the places he trotted through were usually evacuated so no one expected him to get eighty-thousand people killed when he fought Hyper Gyaos one night, or d) some combination of the above.

In their defense, no one could have anticipated the giant turtle would fire rocket boosters out of its shell and fly away. In Gamera vs Viras the giant turtle Gamera is trapped lying on his back (shell) and a giant alien with a pointed head repeatedly spears him in the stomach while he's helpless. In Gamera vs Jiger, Jiger fires spears into Gamera's arms and legs, preventing Gamera from pulling them into his shell (and thus activating his rockets), then knocking Gamera onto his back, leaving him helpless.

Gamera appears to fight this new monster and is beaten. The humans attempt to kill the monster by themselves with some weirdly contrived plan and fail. Gamera recovers for the final fight and kills the new monster. At least one child character who is completely obsessed with Gamera and constantly puts themselves in harm's way. Extensive use of stock footage from previous films (either in flashback or even to reuse scenes to save money).

Later, they mind-control Gamera and make him destroy things. Nearly all of the footage of Gamera rampaging is taken from the first two films. In Gamera vs. Guiron, the space babes probe a kid's mind in order to find out who Gamera is. Stock footage ensues. Gamera vs Jiger has stock footage of Gamera's previous battles during the opening credits. All of Gamera Super Monster's fight scenes are taken from the older movies. And unlike Godzilla's Revenge, there aren't any new fights mixed in. The film also manages to incorporate footage from Space Battleship Yamato and Galaxy Express 999. Wait, what?

On the other hand Gamera looks nicer compared to them and is out to protect the planet and saves people... until the third movie. He looks and acts far more savage when hunting Gyaos and is perfectly fine with killing humans that get caught in the crossfire, though he does his damndest to save Ayana from Iris and looks over her in concern when they try to revive her. Certainly averted in Ayana's nightmare with the evillest looking Gamera of all.

In a sense, this means that all the monsters besides Gamera are female(ish).

The military instantly turn on him, not considering the possibility the Gyaos may be the bigger threat. Then, when Gamera is fighting Iris, the military decide to concentrate on killing Gamera...who has never been an active threat to humanity and is presently locked in combat with a known maneater. At least the finally get it together at the end of the film, but still, had they just let Gamera kill Iris instead of slowing him down and letting Iris make landfall, a lot of death and destruction would've been avoided.

She's so powerful and her kind such a threat to the planet that the military has to backup Gamera for them to have a chance to stop her. Even this proves to not be enough to stop her and Gamera ultimately has to resort to his strongest weapon, the Mana Cannon/Ultimate Plasma, to kill her. This ironically forces him to cross it further in the third film because this act not only revives the Gyaos, but does so in such staggering numbers to the point Gamera has to disregard humanity to hunt them down and destroy them.

It also demonstrates that, for good or not, a monster out to kill worse monsters will cause major damage in a city. Gamera 3 is also more human-driven than even the other two movies; it's about people in a world with monsters, and Gamera is the best one.

Even the kids in Gamera vs Jiger, who have a genuinely good plan and are brave enough to venture inside of Gamera with a mini sub in order to find Jiger's baby inside, don't bring any weapons or think of what to do when they actually encounter said baby kaiju, and are nearly killed because of it.

Giant Monster Mid-Air Battle: Gamera vs. Gyaos was retitled as Return of the Giant Monsters. Gamera vs. Outer Space Monster Viras was retitled as Destroy All Planets (probably to try and cash in on Destroy All Monsters, and also nonsensical since Earth is the only planet shown). Gamera vs. Giant Evil Beast Guiron was retitled as Attack of the Monsters. Gamera vs. Giant Demon Beast Jiger was retitled as Gamera vs. Monster X (also nonsensical considering Jiger is never called that, but at least they finally mentioned Gamera and spelled his name correctly this time).
