Destoryah is Overrated

The to kill Godzilla is from the human's perspective as the whole reason they lure baby to the city with Godzilla following him is so Destroyah could kill him before meltdown. They wanted an oxygen Destroyer to be made for most of the movie to do it but since they couldn't get 1 Destroyah took it's place. Thus he fills the role it was meant to have.

The greatest foe is up for debate. Is it mothra who beat him the most? Ghidorah, who he's fought the most? Gigan who was the first to make him bleed? King Kong for despite only being a 1 time fight making the most successful Godzilla movie ever? Is it his mechanical double? Any amount of monsters could fill the role of greatest depending of tastes and opinions.

I keep missing the new posts here by a week or so...

Anyway, I still think the pairing Destroyah against Godzilla is a weak association to the weapon itself. The plot point of characters pitting one monster against another goes all the way back to King Kong vs. Godzilla-- it has more association with that movie in hindsight than it does with the original film.

I do agree the "greatest foe" might be up for debate. The irony is I would pick any of those monsters you listed over Destroyah for iconic purposes.

every time i watch GvsD, i never get the impression that destroyah was kicking godzilla's ass, if anything godzilla looks like he is annilating destroyah, the only really effective weapon destroyah had was the horn katana but why did he even have that, how does that got to do with micro oxygen and the oxygen destroyer

^Interestingly, Godzilla's G-Cells didn't heal him after the horn attack. The cuts were still there during the fight. Some fans think Destroyah's micro-oxygen kept his cells from healing. Others think that Godzilla's regenerative abilities were weakening since he was so close to death.

We'll never know since the movie doesn't bother to really give any hints or clues about it. The horn katana really did come out of nowhere, like you said. It was cool though.

maybe the reson he still had cuts was laziness of the SFX department, after all there is no explaination, it's just fan theories

@GodzillaFan1995 I mean... in a sense, yeah. I'm pretty sure keeping the cuts there was a concious decision by the SFX department, because the aesthetic look is too strong to simply forget about. I think it probably came down to, "lets keep it 'cause it looks cool" and they decided to run with it even though it creates a certain plothole. It's not a big deal. I admit the cuts make him look a little more worn down in addition to the orange patches.

yeah even this movie suffrered what made the heisei series quite bad as pointed out in that thread about the heiesi series flaws after biollante

no he is not overrated he is somtimes underrated

Since destroyah's strength and level of godzilla's foe has been brought up on another thread I dug this one up as it's more appropriate to discuss on this thread than off topic on another

I think destroyah is overrated

Well if you "think" Destroyah is overrated that's your opinion, but if you think he's overrated because he's not one of, if not the most, powerful foe Godzilla's faced then your mistaken.
