Sorry for the double post:
Maybe they realised that hiring an Asian actor to portray a hero with a yellow suit is a bad idea.

Just finished Godzilla 1954. (it took three days cause I kept getting interrupted)
Entire movie is a 10/10, I was originally going to put it at 9/10 but the Aftermath of Godzilla's rampage and Serizawa's sacrifice won me over.
Anyway my thoughts.
First half of the movie is a 9/10, which is like the first 50 minutes is good.
The beginning is a great opener. Seeing the sea boil and ships being destroyed by Godzilla.
And the scene with Godzilla overlooking the Mount Hachiba on Ohto Island was similarly an awesome scene, we don't see his full body but his crooked maw is horrifying and ugly and just great work on the suit.
Now here comes my only criticism with this movie.
I found the melodrama with Professor Yamane not wanting the military to kill Godzilla, and the love triangle with Emiko, Serizawa, and Ogata boring.
It's not a big part of the first half and I might be overblowing it, but it just fell flat to me, not to say it's atrociously bad, but it's just boring.
Of course the first half has its good parts, Godzilla destroying boats, the terror of him on Ohto Island, him crushing houses, the terror in people as they are attacked by something they cannot understand, and the government meetings (I honestly don't know why I like them, cause irl I don't, but if it's a gov meeting about Godzilla it makes me pay attention.)
Second half, is when Godzilla makes landfall in Japan is a full 10/10.
The score, Godzilla just crashing through the electrical barrier, breaking everything in his path is pure greatness. Him being an unstoppable force against all humanity has, until he fights a plane. Which I actually liked tbh.
Another thing was the scene of a mother hiding in front of a building already having made peace with her and her childrens death crying "don't worry, we'll see your father soon!" Was honestly fucking heartbreaking.
It's an amazing sequence. And that even gets topped by the more somber sequence of the aftermath. Serizawa, Ogata, and Emiko watching on TV all the damage Godzilla wrought with children praying as the score.
Most Godzilla movies I've watched don't really focus on the aftermath of Godzilla's rampage, not like this. Even shin Godzilla which was considered a spiritual successor to 1954 (at least before Minus One) was more about the government trying and failing to stop Godzilla than the aftermath of the attacks.
Then there was Serizawa's sacrifice which was also well done. Serizawa may have not gotten much characterization other than being a scientist tortured by his own research. But he's still done well enough that you feel sad about his sacrifice and kinda horrified by how the reporters are happy, despite the defeat of Godzilla requiring Serizawa's sacrifice. And Godzilla's death was actually kinda sad too.
And Professor's Yamane's final line that echoes the sentiment of the time and movie "If nuclear testing continues, another Godzilla might appear."
