While you’re not wrong, I was comparing MG Beam to Ghidorah Lightning. Even in the Antarctica Battle when the two start grappling, Godzilla already has his skin visibly broken and scarred from Passive Ghidorah Lighting, not even having used his mouth based Gravity Beams.
In comparison, even with a small boost in the beam Clash, Mechagodzilla failed to break Godzilla’s skin with a direct hit with his Photon Scream.
Now let’s compare this to Rodan’s own battle with Ghidorah. He flew straight at him and spiraled in the air with him, Ghidorah Lighting and all. While I admit that all 3 Grav Beams would fuck him up while the single one incapacitated him, the same can be said of Mothra’s Stinger which does have Venom iirc. The dude was back up not too long later just like he was back up from the 1 Grav Beam hit. The difference is that Mothra Stinger punched through his skin/shell. Ghidorah Lightning didn’t even do that.
Lemme guess, Wingard? Listen, i can usually take statements for what they are, but when it comes to this movie they really just fall flat for me. This just says to me that Godzilla was forced to use up all of his energy for the plot just so MG could then be threatening despite his glaring weaknesses. At that point, you could just make MG strong as hell without these weaknesses and then I wouldn’t care.
Yea, but that just speaks to how weak Kong is/was, not the other way around. Okay, okay, yea he got his shit kicked in and had to get his heart restarted but he’s still bitchmade. Keep in mind that Base Axe (no Power) was actually topping MG over itself with a one handed swing from Kong despite dealing little to no damage. Either that Axe is good, or MG is just bad.
Killing Prime FodderCrawlers does not make you into a Titan killing machine. MG will literally become scrap metal if he fights anyone else than Skullcrawlers, Probably Kong. Dude will win against Catmazotz because he passively glows red like Rodan as per Kingdom Kong Author Statement.
