SpaceGodzilla simply fit the role better than Ghidorah for this. It was hinted that events similar Godzilla happened before and with the name Godzilla Earth it only made since that eventually SpaceGodzilla would appear,

I fail to see how Spacegodzilla is better than Ghidorah. Its said by the aliens they've seen other planets destroyed by kaiju, they never say that a Godzilla like kaiju has been seen before

They say they've seen something like Godzilla before or other events like Godzilla. Then with this incarnation being Godzilla Earth and battle with SpaceGodzilla sounded like it was being set up.

Only if it’s called “Godzilla Space”
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

King of the Monsters wrote:Regarding SpaceGodzilla, it may simply come down to Renji Oki being unable to find a way to work him into the novels, as he has admitted. It's entirely possible Toho decided that SpaceGodzilla existed in the universe and asked Oki to use him, but Oki just couldn't find a way to fit him in. In the same interview where he mentions Bagan, Oki says that he couldn't find a way to use SpaceGodzilla, but proposes a hypothetical scenario for a third novel where he would have SpaceGodzilla be a space monster who attacks the civilization established by the passengers of the Oratio.
Yeah, SpaceG, and like, DesGhidorah, would probably be the hardest to fit into the series story wise.

When they said that they didn't mean Godzilla specifcally Like I said the aliens said that they have seen civilizations destroyed by kaiju just Like how Godzilla destroyed the humans.

I'm getting kind of sick of new versions of the Big 5. The only exception is the Legendary films because that's a completely new playing field for the Big 5 and I'm very curious how they'll be portrayed in an American-made film. But these anime films? I can't help but think they'd be much better if they placed more one-shot kaiju in these roles.
Yes.

First Anno turns him into the beef-jerky version of Hedorah and now Gen Urobuchi turns the character into his own incesteous lovechild with Biollante. I bet that next, we will have Godzilla get tuned into some sort of rogue A.I." - LegendZilla

Pretty much how I feel.

Monsterverse is an exception cause hey it's the first time we'll see them done in a big budget Hollywood film and we were kind of robbed of that chance years ago with the G'98 debacle.

A "Godzilla Space" completely made out of crystal would be really cool.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if in Planet Eater they have Godzilla “ascend” into a Space Godzilla (or Godzilla Space?) in order to defeat Ghidorah.

Some ass jockey decided to not crop dust the crowd, dude let off some straight napalm and cleared a 20 ft radius and didn’t flinch, he just moved up closer. I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

^^^that would be cool.

I actually like this Ghidorah because it’s fresh enough, pretty much the only monsters to ever really constrict Godzilla were the Heisei KG and biollante. Having Ghidorahs necks be super long are awesome.

Nope, just a novelization of Planet of the Monsters. Not even the same author.

The author of the novelization seems to be aware people will be disappointed. When he introduced himself as the author on Twitter, he added "I'm sorry that I'm not Mr. Renji Oki."
