Rodan Mothra & King Ghidorah: Motives for the sequel

This is rather interesting. Nice ideas!

I think Ghidorah will be given actual evil motives to set him apart from the M.U.T.O.s. They were just villains if circumstance, Ghidorah is just pure chaotic evil. Rodan may be either territorial or in search of food, which could at first bring him into conflict with Godzilla. Mothra I see as being a benevolent creature, possibly defending her young or even a group of humans that worship her. I don't think she'll be an actual goddess, but rather a mysterious creature that is seen as divine by some. I think regardless of motivations, Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan will be forced to put aside their differences and join against Ghidorah to assure their own survivals.

Well, the only time we saw King Ghidorah in the Millenium series, it was an under-developed gaurdian spirit protecting the land, so we never know what its motives might be.

Ghidorah has been legitimately evil before without being under control in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and in Rebirth of Mothra 3. The only reason he was good in GMK was because his role was written for Varan. Ghidorah has traditionally always been evil.

MNJARO - Hmm, what a very interesting set of ideas you've brought to us! I'd have to say that giving Ghidorah and Rodan slightly more malevolent personalities that allow them to stand out as individuals is a fine way to go - though vesting them with an instinctual lean all the while so as to keep them in line with Godzilla. As for Mothra, I like the idea of her being a mother attempting to keep her offsrping safe. That strikes me as a believable premise that would give Mothra a sympathetic lean and allow for the audience to route for her triumph! Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us! :)

@Something real ....you honestly give the best responses on this site aha thank you.

To go with the evil motives, idk if that would pass in the legendary series, as far as i know, there arent animals out there that performs acts or do things for the simple fact of doing it other than humans, every other animal does something based off of instinct, whether it be attacking another animal or trying to gain territory for survival.

I agree that he has always been a source of pure evil, but if edwards wants this to be grounded and realistic, i don't see him taking that route for king ghidorah, it will be interesting to see what they do though

anyone else have any other ideas? i want input lol

I think the fact that most animals do not act according to good or evil is exactly the point. King Ghidorah is an anomaly. Godzilla and Rodan will probably act according to some kind of instinct, while Ghidorah could actually be driven by destructive evil desires. Mothra on the other hand could have an actual element of good nature and work to protect both her young and the people who rely on her for protection. This would make the characters of King Ghidorah all the more interesting.
