This is the way to start off an article about our favorite green guy dor ’70 years. Godzilla, hear him roar-Godzilla 1954 Roars (youtube.com)

Let’s face this guy still looks good and can stand with the best of them. Godzilla turns 70 this year. Yeah, that’s right the first film starring the big, green guy debuted in 1954. Taking the world by storm. In fact, Godzilla came out stomping and never looked back. Either streaming, airing or being screened somewhere on the planet Earth on an almost daily basis. Now that is an accomplishment that not many franchises can say. It is of global proportions and the fan base is extraordinary.

****** On a personal note I am not going to list every film or cover every movie. Far too much material, but I will cover key moments and nostalgic arches. His nemesis’s and allies. Also, the decades- what was popular — the pop of the day.
