Godzilla usualy becomes the hero in the later movies doesn't he? I mean everybody cheers for him aginst whatever monster he's fighting as if they're any worse.
Maybe the Japanese citizens watching the "horrific" monster battles notice how Godzilla becomes increasingly campy and stupid so they find something as hyper and obnoxious as them to relate to, hence the sudden encouragement from them.

He wasn't campy and stupid in this one. Well, almost. As well the bit where he just sleeps for no reason, he taps his nose after defeating the bird.

Yeah, I don't get that cliche. You see it in anime series too, whenever someone does something good and they feel proud of themselves, they rub or tap their noses.

That ought to be an interesting summary. It still gets me how a random bird comes out of nowhere and gets fucked up by Godzilla and he falls asleep.

I'm gonna start this again, but I can't be bothered to rewatch Son of Godzilla, so you'll have to go without a write up.
Suffice to say, there's an island where some people are doing weather experiments and baby Godzilla is on the island and there's also some giant mantises there too. They pick on baby Godzilla so Godzilla kicks their asses. Then a giant spider comes along and Godzilla kicks his ass too. Then the weather experiment caused the island to freeze, which freezes Godzilla and his horrific off spring.

1968 - Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters!
Spoiler:
Yet another Godzilla film where Godzilla is completely superfluous to the main plot. Well, we start in the futurisitc world of 1999, where the UN has established a base on the moon. Oooooh. And staffed it with Captain Scarlet cosplayers.
Ooooooh. Also, all the monsters on Earth have somehow been rounded up and now live on a chain of islands called Monster Land. They're all there. Godzilla, his son, Mothra, Rhodan, Angilas, Manda, Baragon, Gorosaurus... whoever those guys are. Suddenly the island is attacks and gassed!
The scientists, who are, as a rule, supposed to be clever by the way, take a unique course of action in an attempt to overcome the dangerous situation.
So anyway, a special team is brought in from the moon to see what happened. Turns out this freak is responsible.
She's from Kilak, which is apparently in our solar system, and wants to create a perfect scientific community. Although that's not mentioned again. Basically she wants to take over Earth. There's a shoot out as the special team escapes, and this guy makes the best shot-in-the-head-face ever.
Then all the monsters start attacking the major wolrd cities because they're being controlled by the Kilaks. Godzilla gets to go on a proper rampage through a city, which was awesome since he hasn't done that for ages.
Yeah, fuck you buildings!
The Kilaks say that if Earth doesn't surrender, they will get the monsters to destroy the whole world. Then, NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS FOR 45 MINUTES. The Earth guys just fuck about trying to figure out what to do, and it's soooo boring. Eventually they find a way to stop the Kilaks controlling the monsters, and start controlling them themselves. So all Earth's monsters show up to kick some fucking ass! WOO!
The Kilaks then summon King Ghidorah. You know since they're from space and Ghidorah is a space monster. This is the third time he's showed up, and the second time that he's been controlled by aliens. Not that it matters, because Earth's monsters completely gangfuck him in an awesome battle.
Godzilla then goes after the Kilak base, because he's super pissed at them.
So the Kilaks are defeated and the Earth is saved, and Godzilla and all his monster friends go back to live in Monster Land. Aww.

That looks like a really cool movie (at least for a Gozilla movie)
What did you think about it?

Nope. He doesn't get incapacitated in any way. He just goes back to Monster Land.
As for the film itself, like nearly every Godzilla film so far, it's terrible apart from couple of times that the monsters get to fight and destroy stuff.

Sounds like one guy wrote the beginning, forgot the plot points and then another guy wrote the end.

There's always stupid things like that. Godzilla vs Monster Zero had that with the X People. All of their females were identical, but it only came up in one scene and had no importance to the plot at all.

1969 - Godzilla's Revenge
Spoiler:
I couldn't watch all of this. It's only 70 minutes long, but I couldn't watch it. I assume it's another cheaply produced hack job for the American market, since a lot of it is just clips from the past films. It's filmed in 4:3 too.
Anyway, it's about some kid who has bully issues or some shit, and every now and again he dreams about being on Monster Island. On Monster we see clips from old Godzilla movies and... Well, and this:
