Mothra, Guardian of Earth

#ABOUT

Welcome to the MOTHRA subreddit!

Why Mothra? Many people may not realize that before she was walking in Godzilla's enormous shadow, Mothra actually starred in her own standalone film. In 1961, thanks to Godzilla, giant monster movies were on the rise, such as Rodan, Varan and the Gargantuas among others, but Mothra was one of the biggest break out stars in that era. She was so popular in fact, she has gone on to appear in 12 films (4 of which she was the title character).

If Godzilla represents mankind's biggest folly, Mothra would represent our biggest hope. Mothra is also known as a Guardian of Earth, along with her 2 twin fairy priestesses, the Shobijin, they help restore balance to the world whenever chaos threatens to destroy it.

What Mothra may lack in physical strength, she makes up in determination and spirit.

#SONG

Mothra's Song (Mothrea 1961)

(Malaysian/Japanese)

Mosura ya Mosura- dongan kasakuyan indoo muu- rosuto uiraadoa, hanba hanbamuyan- randa banunradan tounjukanraa- kasaku yaanmu- Mosura ya Mosura- yasashisasae wasure- arehateta- hito no kokoro inorinagara- utai, ai no uta"

(English)

"Mothra oh Mothra- Hear our call for you to save us- over time, over sea- like a wave you come- our guardian angel- Mothra oh Mothra- the people have forgotten kindness- their spirit falls to ruin- we shall pray for the people as we sing- this song of love"
