Pretty much update the "classic" gravity bolts, and give them a lot more of a punch and extreme heat; like I want Godzilla to reel from just one of those bloody things.

I don't think heat would be all that effective on something that essentially ate a 15 megaton nuke and wasn't impressed.
That's a outliner.
No it isn't.

Than how can Heisei Godzilla swim under the mantle and live in a Volcano for 4 years, and yet get hurt by lasers?

Simple, because the lasers apply much more pressure and energy on a certain amount of surface area per square meter than the inside of a volcano and/or the earth's mantle does. The damage the lasers do to the buildings are irrelevant to the laser's power.

I wouldn't mind if Ghidorah has "dragon feet" like he did in gmk.

Oh boy. We're going to have to explain surface-area-to-yield ratios to people screaming "OUTLIER" once again.

I don't know if this has already been brought up, but does anyone else think Ghidorah's wings should fold when he's on ground (a la GMK)? I know people seem to want that for Rodan, but I wasn't sure where people stood on Ghidorah.

Honestly I want all of them to fold their wings, it would be cool to see Mothra actually walk between buildings. Ghidorah having his wings folded could have a awesome scene with him unveiling them like with Otachi in PR or in GMK.

I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

I sorta liked Ghidorah's wings to be out as it makes him seem bigger, more intimidating, and impressive.

I would like him to have his wings like they were in GMK. When he first awakens/appears, his wings are folded in. But afterwards his wings are opened for intimidation and to show dominance.

Here's what IR said.

The science itself in the provided link is indeed good. But it's also faulty because the attacks being compared to the nuke do not display greater intensity than a nuke. That analogy with asphalt surviving the nuke yet being broken apart by a jackhammer is especially bad. I won't bother going into the details of why, but the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nukes detonated at 1900 and 1650 feet above the ground respectively. The asphalt at ground zero was by no means subjected to the forces of a point blant nuclear explosion. Yes, it's true that a jackhammer can turn asphalt into rubble with ease. But if those nukes had been in laying on the ground when they detonated, the asphalt (as well as several meters of earth directly below the asphalt) would have been completely vaporized.

That's cool and all, but the lasers and kaiju attacks still apply more force on a smaller surface area than a nuke does.

Let's take this discussion to the Games forum, as this doesn't really have anything to do with the topic.

I wouldn't mind this design for King Ghidorah, 6 eyes on each head is very alien but it also works because it somehow makes him more expressive.

Been posted before but yeah, I adore that design. Just imagine King Ghidorah being say, 130 meters and looking like THAT in the movie.

I'd honestly be okay with that. It's a nice, Showa-esque design.

Still hoping for something like these designs, though:

The Honey Bones Ghidorah (last two), are one of, if not my absolute favorite look for Ghidorah, with the six-eyed one being a close second.

This idea of Mothra isn't too bad.
