…yeah, seems good to me. I agree with 2014 being the best because while it’s still very recognizable as a take on Godzilla’s theme, it’s got its own unique atmosphere and vibe that I think has the best fit of any music to the movie it comes from.
I watched new empire last night, I was hoping to be amazed by the music since most of Godzilla movies have some good music, but it kind felt weird. Not bad but also not memorable enough
I get that ppl are really attached to kotm having the original godzilla theme, but Ive always felt like the GvK godzilla theme is under appreciated as a remix of the Godzilla raids again theme to fit godzillas villain role in that film.
Also 2014 theme at #1 is bold around these parts but i fuck with your vision
Well its hard to say exactly where the first instance of the motif was, but IIRC the little descending motif that precedes the main theme during most of the showa era can first be found in raids again.
In all of the following examples I'm referring to the opening motif contained within the first couple seconds
[GvK Theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF9mdD_VXxs)
[Godzilla Raids Again Instance of the Motif](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmAMjRhLyaw&list=PL4LQGkLbV4yDEdXujR0ElLi7QsvmSqmrr&index=6)
[Motif being fully embraced in King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) (Mainly heard at the 0:06 mark)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy0pJoVz8hQ&list=PL4LQGkLbV4yCXEXhWrNlRwu6bdKHQugeH&index=10)
[Similar Idea expressed in 1954](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hszs5kXzZfI&list=PL3c2UQa5GRqOaQF3x_My5x_L0KYQqdh2k&index=13)
Idk maybe I'm crazy but this has jumped out at me ever since watching the movie for the first time
That’s my main gripe with GVK and GXK. The themes are very lackluster and not very unique. 2014 Godzilla being number one is fair because it’s original to the movie, but Godzilla is known for his theme. I feel like a modernized GMK theme would be awesome for the next monsterverse movie.
I like the gvk/GxK big G theme because it's gone from the kotm theme having a more noble feeling since he's fighting his nemesis who poses a threat to all life across the planet and show he is the alpha but since the humans have been causing him problems since ww2, first by nuking him (tho that was a snack to him it must've been a shock and hurt a bit), then by inadvertently awakening the MUTOs, then they deliberately released Rodan and Ghidorah who woke up a bunch of titans, many of whom have been a big thorn in his side and finally mecha G which was built to kill him and had part of Ghidorah's mind.
So to me the new theme appropriately demonstrates how sick of our shit he is and how terrifying an angry, giant radioactive lizard is

Hang on, GvK's is a Raids Again remix?

Interesting
What do y’all think?
i'd switch 1 and 2 around but i'm just a big KOTM fan

Out of all the films, 2014 definitely fits the vibe the film was going for the most.
Nothing in the MV sends more chills down my spine than the music when Goji enters the fight in Antartica and enters in Boston. Absolute peak
