He is. But I assume they were going for unstoppable force?

He just would keep coming, causing crazy random destruction and spam his gravity bolts. It makes sense. Had Godzilla not been there every time Ghidrah showed up, he can easily cause a shit-load of damage.

^ He's not called the "destroyer of worlds" for nothing. If Godzilla didn't exsist then Ghidorah would have destroyed the Earth a long time ago.

Godzilla needs help because Ghidorah was only a terrible fighter in G vs G. In MZ Ghidorah's attacks were stopping both Godzilla and Rodan and they needed the other to take blows just for one to attack.

Those fearsome eyes! Check this out, the suit was last seen in 2002 at an Exhibition showcasing Godzilla versus Mechagodzilla III!

What made Ghidorah dangerous were his head movements! I don't think he could control them, they were just going everywhere spitting electricity at everything, I mean I don't even think he could aim, he just opened his mouth and hoped he'd hit his target! :xilien:

I think he could control them, he just thought whipping them around was the best way to destroy everything, and each head had a mind of its own and wanted to attack a different spot.

If you want to cause conplete destruction, it helps to cast a wide range of attack. Plus, it terrified anyone below.

"AY! If Gridrah wants to fly 'round shootin' his lazy beams all willy nilly, he's got the right to do that. 'CAUSE THIS IS 'MERICA! THE GREATEST GOD DANG COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! GIT 'ER DUUUUUN."

"Aw shoot! I better scram. BY THE WAY, Y'ER OUTTA MILK."

Hey guys, sorry about that. So, what are we talking about? Ghidorah, huh? What really makes him dangerous is his MAGNETIC personality! Eh? Eh? Anyone? No?......Ok......

No, that would be Godzilla. I can't even count the number of times he uses the word "skreeonk" in his movies.

They finally found his pills in Godzilla vs Gigan only for him to lose them in DAM, I guess Gigan was the one they kept up with Ghidrah's pills.

Maybe Galactus killed Hedorah's home world... so there is the theory, now I will let people get to work on combining the Showa and Marvel universes together (you already have the Godzilla Marvel series to work with).

Although I have not seen all of mothra 3, I have seen a small clip where grand K G is beating the crap out of poor mothra. If it was normal mothra, he/she would have easily died. I'm shocked mothra didn't die because grand K G stomped him with all his weight. If it were a bit more realistic, mothra would have died. Grand king ghidorah is prob one of, if not, the most powerful of all ghidorahs

I don't think that's much of an issue with daikaiju movies.

King Ghidorah is extremly dangerous... as long as he has no one to oppose him. He can level entire cities within hours, but once some other monster shows up, he usaully gets his ass kicked... good!

Ghidorah's heads were always prone to have spasms of pure terror, I kinda think Ghidorah might be Schizophrenic... who knows...
