Anyhow, we got a fight between Mothra and Rodan in koTM.
I remember at the time thinking it was kinda wild that after all these decades, that fight in KotM is the first time the two have ever actually fought. Who'd have thunk that Toho had had the idea themselves 20 years ago? :lol:

The idea of Rodan being the ultimate final villain of the trilogy is surprising, but also hilarious. Kinda reminds me of how at one point they considered Varan being the final adversary for Godzilla in 1995, but of the two the idea of a godly destroyer fits Varan more.

That probably would have been a little better instead of having a second Ghidorah appear in the series. Rodan doesn't get enough love. I wonder what crazy and ridiculous powers he would have gotten.
