I can't quite wrap my head around it. There were better films in the Heisei series than this one. Was Mothra really that popular at the time?

Do you mean a film trilogy? Could you post any titles please? If so, thanks!

And Mothra's a she?? Wow. Didn't see that one coming.

Apparently, the Japanese movie makers thought it would be profitable to remake their own movies. Us Americans are just as guilty as charged.

I read somewhere that single women and children were the key demographics as far as movies are concerned in Japan. Hence, Godzilla vs. Mothra and the Rebirth of Mothra Trilogy.
