Anguirus and Varan woulda been cool but I'm fine with Mothra and Ghidorah taking their roles. It's about time we get over all that. If anything I wish GMK had Gamera 3 quality effects.

Swap out Anguirus for Tadzilla and we're good to go.

Baragon/Anguirus = Guardian of the Earth
Titanosaurus = Guardian of the Sea
Rodan = Guardian of the Sky

- All are Mesozoic reptiles/are heavily based on them
- Actually fit their titles (I swear, some suggestions here are worse than what we got in Canon)
- Each is unique and distinctive.

Manda would have been an AMAZING choice. I feel like his aesthetics would work great as a guardian monster.

I chose the original Guardians (Anguirus, Varan, Baragon) but if I didn't have GMK and GAVB to take reference from, my choices would be King Caesar, Mothra, and Manda.

The original 'earthy 4 legged' monster trio of Varan, Anguirus, and Baragon are fun....BUT

I love so many of the moments we get out of Mothra and Ghidorah in this film....purely out of preference I would replace Baragon with Anguirus, because I think Anguirus is cooler.

I think Manda should have replaced Ghidorah. It felt very, very strange having King Ghidorah be a good guy.

Mothra was so over used at that point. She could have been replaced with King Ceasar, Varan, or any number of monsters.
Come fourth, Ghidorah! Great Golden Winged Destroyer; deliver onto us a beautiful demise!

Manda and Varan both have a history of being worshipped as gods. Keep Baragon.

Manda, Varan and Megalon would have also been cool but Varan, Manda and Baragon get my vote.
