Favourite King Ghidorah?
I’ve said it so many times, it’s Showa
It seems as though we’re redoing all the old polls, so may as well make a new one for the newbies

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
Went with ROM3. Carries a powerful presence with its design, and certainly acts the part! However, I'm not a big fan of the weird back fins, they feel unnecessarily tacked on and rather sloppy. The loss of flexible necks compared to its Heisei and Showa counterparts is also sorely missed.
Runner up's the "Shin" Ghidorah. The design's so sleek and simple while still being very alien, it has weird arm-legs and has an oddly graceful method of flight, and love the anti-gravity aspects of its beams. Had it actually been featured in a feature length movie and the personality/abilities were fleshed out a bit more, it'd be a very strong contender for my favorite Ghidorah.

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
Without any hesitation, the MV Ghidorah is the King Ghidorah I've always dreamed about. A true terror of the stars, with a delightful menace to him and an imposing presence that never dips down. He isn't some mindless pawn of some generic antagonist group, he is the King of the Cosmos and among all Ghidorah actually seems to have a believable method to lay waste to an entire world.
He is everything the first Ghidorah film back in the Showa era hyped him up to be, and he doesn't get the rug pulled from him. Grand would be my second choice, but I never liked his kidnap children subplot; felt like a Gamera Showa villain more so than King Ghidorah. So an easy vote for me.

ROM3 because it's just a complete package. It's size and bulk just makes him intimidating asf.

Showa. I know it's an easy pick but I just love the design of the heads and those manes. Those cackles are iconic. Shin Ghidorah and Grand King are also some good runners up, the former only having a brief appearance and I've never seen ROM3. Monsterverse Ghidorah was also much more faithful than I was expecting it to be, but seeing the movie after already having seen the SHMA, I was disappointed in how drab his colour scheme is and how he spends a lot of time wing-walking low to the ground instead of standing tall and fanning his wings out.

MV for me, the design look fantastic and they add in different personality for each head, While also being intimidating.

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
GMK is my personal favorite, with Heisei following after. Completely subjective choices, and I wouldn't propose that either are the "definitive" Ghidorah; simply the ones that appeal to me the most.
Any issues, please feel free to private message me or e-mail me at MaritonicTK@gmail.com.

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
For all of the ROM's trilogies flaws, it easily gave me my favorite version of Ghidorah to date. His design is gorgeous yet actually pretty scary, he has a super unique moveset when it comes to kaiju, and he is in no way a pushover like other incarnations of Ghidorah have been.. looking at you Showa and Heisei.
Second in line would be Shin Ghidorah. Again, design and powersets are great.. just wish he didn't die so fast and we got to see more of him.

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
In terms of plot, Monsterverse Ghidorah for the same reasons godjacob has already said. But, I will admit that he is too wimpy in a fight.
Now, in terms of literally everything else, Shin Ghidorah is perfect.

This... is another hard one. Showa has the best cackle and sheer iconicness, but is held down by ultimately being a pushover and usually being under mind control. Heisei has my favorite design and the best melee fight of the Heisei series (for what that's worth), and receives bonus points for MKG being visually amazing, but his origin sucks. Monsterverse delivers all the goods in terms of power, personality, and origin, but abuses the slithering thing a bit too much and lacks major destruction scenes.
*shrug* When in doubt, always default to Showa.

Ah yes, because being ambushed and dragged underwater by an Alpha aquodic predator as a land/sky creature and having a struggle naturally means one is a total chump.JAGzilla wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 9:02 amTen bucks it's because of the underwater fight.godjacob wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 8:12 am-Nearly kills Godzilla, with a nuclear super boost, twice in the same fight.Cryptid_Liker wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 7:48 am In terms of plot, Monsterverse Ghidorah for the same reasons godjacob has already said.

Admins, when are we going to get that eye twitching emoji? Or the projectile vomiting one; either way works.

It was between GKG and MV. Honestly my vote could have went either way. Both are fantastic designs. Id probably vote MV if it had GKGs head designs.

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
Did you actually watch that fight? Ghidorah, fresh from being frozen mind you, hands Godzilla his ass dropping him in a pit and downing him multiple times. It isn't until the Super jet and its support blast at Ghidorah decides to go and gather up his storm.

Re: Favourite King Ghidorah?
Every Ghidorah in this bracket minus the MV, GMK and the ROM ones were under mind control, so that means their wills weren't strong enough and therefore that's an automatic L.
To be an intergalactic villain you have to eat planets and shit black thunder clouds, guess who does that? Not GMK and not ROM gang (although its been ten years since I watched ROM3)
And I didn't even know there WAS a Reiwa Ghidorah
