Monster Discussion: King Ghidorah (Anime Trilogy)
Why are your honest opinion on the 3 noodle neck, I mean King Ghidorah from the Anime Trilogy.

Re: Monster Discussion: King Ghidorah (Anime Trilogy)
I like the eldritch theming with this Ghidorah. I like the whole cult built around Ghidorah, adds this sort of nightmare fuel that perfectly fits what Ghidorah should be. However, much like so many things in this series, the execution falls flat. While far from as bad as Mechagodzilla, Ghidorah just ends up showing up to blow up the space station and then bites Godzilla for 40 something minutes as they just stand there. Then he becomes tangible and Godzilla curb stomps him in 2 shots.
What a letdown.
It's design is also ugly IMO and leaves no room for emotion making it come off as bland with the rest of the film having to build up its aura for it.

Introduction was great. Everything after was a letdown.
As usual, that one fan animator on youtube made better use use Noodle Ghidorah than the actual movie did.

Re: Monster Discussion: King Ghidorah (Anime Trilogy)
Probably the best monster from the Anime Trilogy. Not exactly a high bar to clear, but it's something. I do appreciate how he is at least spiritually accurate; a malevolent alien being who destroys entire civilizations. I honestly don't even hate the whole heads emerging from black holes thing; it is eerie in a good way, and makes this Ghidorah all the more interesting, if nothing else. He still suffers Anime Trilogy syndrome, IE, barely doing anything and not really having much of an effect on the overarching story, but he is at least interesting on paper, and was the best idea the trilogy had.
January 1st, 1929 - August 8th, 2017. May Haruo Nakajima Rest in Peace.

Would've it helped if this version of Ghidorah transformed into a more traditional-looking Ghidorah?

Think it would've helped if we got more than heads, and if the fight between it and Godzilla was well...a fight.LegendZilla wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 8:47 pm Would've it helped if this version of Ghidorah transformed into a more traditional-looking Ghidorah?

Cool concept, cool design I suppose. Still, I tend to forget it exists.

I think with the limitation of the design itself you can do much more with the three noodle next design rather than just bite, what the hell happened did the creators reign of the imagination and she’s right in the most boring and dull fight they can never do in a Godzilla film heck not just in the Godzilla films but in the tire Kaiju genre.

Love this version of Ghidorah. The summoning ritual is one of the most chilling and ominous scenes in a Godzilla movie, and everything about this Ghidorah in general just radiates fear, malice, and threat that I adore and had been severely lacking in any Ghidorah up until this point (with MV Ghidorah matching it in those departments, thank god)

Idea was great, design and execution leaves a lot to be desired.
