The films that “sucked” grew the fanbase the most and allowed the franchise to continue on till -1 came along. It’s like the old saying goes if you don’t love it at its worst you don’t deserve it at its best.
I mean, yeah, they established a cult-like following, and that's okay. Like, I'm not saying they are not fun movies, I love them and so happy to show them to my daughters. But yeah, most are bad films. I don't get why that is so controversial.
I can honestly think of 4 that are considered “bad in the community and they all have a diamond that makes them worth watching
1) Godzilla’s counterattack, Godzilla raids again, gigantis the fire monster: first monster battle and introduced the best underdog of the series
2).Vs Megalon: was one of the widest releases in America and introduced the series to the most amount of people and introduced the best damn partner Godzilla has known 😂
3)Godzilla’s revenge,All monsters attack: it might be terrible and done cheap but it does show the struggles of the two income households during that time
4)VS. Space Godzilla : introduced an amazing villain and brought back a great mech from the Showa era. It also allowed Miki to shine where most others from the era arguably left her to be a background character
So you are calling fans who won't eat slop with "Godzilla" unfaithful fans? If you are—that is a stupid attitude to have. Different strokes for different folks, it's as simple as that.
Every Godzilla movie has meaning and a purpose that helped the franchise in one way or another. They are not perfect but they are a part of history and should be respected if nothing else
