You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
Just an interesting head canon poll, was Ghidorah unopposed before the events of GTTHM or do you all feel he had kills under his belt.
Personally I feel one of the reasons he's King Ghidorah is that Ghidorah had killed several space monsters before reaching Earth. Godzilla and in this case Rodan and Mothra were simply above and beyond these other space monsters especially as the Showa era treats Godzilla as the most powerful creature period in the universe.
As for this theory I also think the reason Gigan is a cyborg is because Ghidorah damaged him to that point.

I just assume he never encountered multiple strong monsters until Earth. It was always either just one monster on the level of Godzilla or a group of Yog-Trio level monsters.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
I would definitely say yes. Given the plethora of space monsters in the Showa era there's no way he had encountered and killed some before.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
I say "yes" because with all the alien life forms we would later see in the Showa series, it would make sense that King Ghidorah at some point encountered another alien monster, fought and killed it either in space or on another planet.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
The Godzilla universe has many alien kaiju, so KG would have met one or more of them along the way. It's likely he won those because it was a one on one battle, but KG lost the Earth because he had to handle three at one time.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
Its fun to think that he did and given how space monsters popped up a few times in the Godzilla series, its not hard to believe that Ghidorah would cross some lesser creatures in his journeys and own some beasts here and there.
However, there is a part of me that likes to think that Ghidorah was a scourge of the galaxy for every planet and race he came across, and ran rampant unopposed by other giant monsters for millennia until he came to Earth and had Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra step in his smug faces.
So either one works for me.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
I actually do like to think there are alien planets with these own kaiju, working on the Similar Squad trope. Most never at beast defeated Ghidorah, just at best repelled him, though.

Yes, without a doubt because otherwise, I don't think the aliens would have brought him to Earth if they didn't already test out his power with other alien life forms.

I mean why wouldn't he? It's totally in character and Venus couldn't have been the ONLY world he blew up.

Excellent point. KG was used by so many aliens as a weapon that he had to have some sort of reputation.AllosaurHell wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 8:33 am Yes, without a doubt because otherwise, I don't think the aliens would have brought him to Earth if they didn't already test out his power with other alien life forms

Most likely yes, you gotta build a reputation first if you want to prove you're one badass motherskreeonker.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
Aliens also used chumps like Gorosaurus and Manda that had never beaten anything, so there goes that theory.
I personally prefer the idea that Ghidorah was unopposed before he came to Earth. No real reason, I guess, it just appeals to me more.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
I am going to go out on a limb here and just say yes. Ghidorah's past is so vague and poorly explained that it leaves almost all of it to your imagination. Defeating other space monsters certainly makes sense.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
Not quite the same. Gorosaurus and Manda were part of a bigger package deal in them taking Monster Island. Ghidorah has essentially been the go-to monster for invading alien civilizations so there has to be a little something to it.

Maybe some of the Kaiju from Zone Fighter are the survivors of a Ghidorah attack?

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
The Garoga did make use of Ghidorah, but more likely they just knew about him from other aliens. KG's past will remain unknown, unless someone at Toho decides to use that story line for a film.

Re: You think King Ghidorah killed other Space Monsters before GTTHM
I like the idea that every inhabited planet in the Showa-era universe has its own kaiju. I imagine Ghidorah has killed dozens before he finally met something he couldn't handle in the form of Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan. Gigan being a "space dinosaur" implies to me that big vaguely dinosaurian monsters aren't exactly uncommon throughout the universe.
