Don't worry, friendo. I'm not saying he beamed in all his collisions. But this one however follows no logic.
Besides constantly beaming before impact, the explosion appearing itself is hilariously random. Hell, if anything there's no correlation between these fluctuating reactions with DesGhido getting a few sparks, Dagahra and Mothra getting engulfed by a explosion bigger than Grand's strongest bolts, and Armor Leo's being completely dry. You certainly can't use such anomaly as something note worthy when they all follow no rule in their occurence.
To be clear, this isn't discounting all collisions or even Dagahra's. But using the explosion as a parameter of Leo explosive/beam resistance is wonky. Especially again, he went down from smaller types.
You make it seem like I’m solely using the amount of sparks or something as evidence of the explosion’s power. I’m not; I’m focusing on what it did to Dagahra. Knowing the hows and the whys behind things like “spark-plosions” are far less relevant in these instances than what effect they had on their environment.
I don’t know how the actual explosion occurred; maybe it manifested as a result of Mothra and Dagahra’s bodily chemistry colliding at high speeds. But I do know that Dagahra went down in a very specific fashion that caters well to the idea that whatever that explosion was, it remains our best explanation for his briefly stunned state. That’s why I think it’s a valid example.
The individual bursts visually didn't summon the same impressive spark-plosion force on Leo as it did on skyscrapers and the one that finished him.
The explosions on Mothra may not have been as big because his body absorbed more of the blast than those skyscrapers did. Either way, it’s not a valid counterargument here when I’ve been specifically referring to their detrimental effect on Mothra, not the size of the explosion they created on him.
I seldom believe MV and his completely more massive frame is going to react the same way generating greater kinetic force charging at Grand.
To be clear, when I was discussing MV Ghidorah charging, I had his intent to attack in mind. In that context, kinetic force or not, there’s no reason to assume he’d power through them if they were damaging him.
Also quite sure Amped MVgoji's breath would've done a better job throwing Leo off track than Grand's single bursts, and floor skyscrapers all the same too. And I rate his breath only slightly below Grand's best bolts.
Not when it comes to heat and explosive power.
Point well taken with the novelization though. But Grand's weaker bursts are still more superficial in nature compared to what he experienced and Grand's unison blasts. It's going to be combat efficient enough in that case.
To give you a concrete picture of the effect I think the Gravity Bolts would have, I imagine they’d more or less be as harmful as MV Ghidorah’s wing lightning on Godzilla. They certainly wouldn’t kill him, but they’d hurt and they’d burn. And that’d prove dangerous in the long run for a kaiju who, again, has never demonstrated a reliably combat-effectual healing factor.
To restate my core stance on the matchup, I do think MV Ghidorah has better odds at winning here. But it will be because of the two Ghidorah’s respective fighting styles, and the mistake GKG will make in that regard, and not due to the ineffectiveness of GKG’s primary weapon.
