Just to get it out of the way, yes, I know Godzilla started out as a serious movie and an allegory for nuclear destruction.
I still prefer the mid 60s and early 70s Godzilla movies where he was the good guy or at least the protector of the Earth. I just think they are more fun. The modern Godzilla movies have had fantastic suits and effects but I still miss Godzilla being the good guy. The 98 American Godzilla movie was terrible but I liked the animated series that followed it. Other than keeping the 98 design, it was a lot like the "kiddie" Godzilla movies where big G protected the earth from alien invasion and other giant monsters. The Hanna Barbara Godzilla toon, has maybe not aged all that well, but I really liked it as a kid and that Godzilla was also clearly the good guy. I still have my original Godzilla plush toy from the cartoon.
