i don't want Ghidorah to be a part of the natural order. i want it to be an unnatural monstrosity that doesn't belong here.

I've noticed, kids these days want EVERYTHING explained to them. Back in my day, we had things called "mystery", and that made things more fun!
That's what I loved about the older Godzilla films. Hardly any of the of monsters had a deep back story. Godzilla was said to be a prehistoric creature, nothing specific. Not a T. Rex fused with a Steggy, and certainly not a Godzillasaurus (I really hate that concept from the Heisei era), just a prehistoric beast. Mystery is indeed much more fun, brings in the speculations.

Evil Ghidorah all the way. No reason for him to be good, it just doesn't fit.

Why make Rodan and Mothra that much smaller than Godzilla? In Showa Era, they were his size. Actually, I believe Mothra was a bit bigger than him.

in order to be able to fly you need a lighter body than a landlubber along with having significantly less mass to lift (ex. how small the male MUTO is compared to the female and Godzilla) and since Ghidorah is from another world/galaxy the reason for his ability of flight is probably very different from earth dwelling kaiju

for the legendary series, not necessarily (considering that creatures of this size are both physically and biologically impossible to live on earth). for the toho series, I could say otherwise

I didn't think the MUTO was small to be "realistically" able to fly, but because he was a male instectoid creature, which are usually smaller than females.

they're vertebrates and I did like the sexual dimorphism between the two, I thought that was interesting

It makes it sound like they can be actual natural creatures.

Yeah. And also, how could Legendary Godzilla's heart beat for that long?
