Alien Influence? [King Ghidorah's Origins]

Something Real

Hello there.

    With all the talk surrounding the highly-anticipated sequal to Edwards' Godzilla, I've developed a question that I believe requires some attention: will there be an extraterrestrial influence within the new film? King Ghidorah (who has been confirmed for the sequal) has been frequently tied to alien overlords in past films, thus it stands to reason that he might be treated in the same fashion in Edwards' upcoming movie.

    I, for one, would be quite pleased to see an extraterrestrial threat - provided it's presented in a fashion that's interesting and not overly-campy. Not only that, but if Ghodorah himself is reenvisioned as a more nightmarish and alien being, that could be quite compelling! Naturally, Ghidora's more classic features - three heads, two tails, wings and golden scales - should be retained. However, if the creature's design is given a more terrifying overhaul that is evocative of a non Earth-born life-form, that, in my opinion, would make for an outstanding and memorable foe - one worthy of being named King Ghidorah!

    As always, your thoughts and conjecture are always welcome, even if you choose to keep them to yourself. :)

Ghidorah did not originally come from godzilla vs gigan.

Yeah. He come from "Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster". And he came from space. Plus, most fans associate him with space. Plus, most outside non-fans view him as from space. Plus, his general appearance gives off the vibe of not coming from Earth.

King Ghidorah is the one foe Godzilla has in the Showa era that has absolutely no origin whatsoever to speak of.

He came in a meteor... Okay, but from where and why? For what purpose was he given to exist? Why come to Earth when there is an entire universe out there to terrorize without the threat of Godzilla to kick his ass?

Even if his alien origins are done away with, I'll be satisfied as long as he retains some of his core features. Three heads and golden scales are all I require. Making him bipedal is a recipe for disaster. The Toho Ghidorah's design is built to fail. Why? Because when standing up like that his wings are perpendicular to the ground and he can't generate lift when flapping them to fly from that position. The moment he leans forward, he's going to fall onto his stomach because the lift needed to lift his bulk off the ground does not exist if he's standing still or even if he had a small jogging start. Also, the moment he goes down, he has no way to get up. Without arms to give himself some kind of stability, his wings would snap under his own weight if he tried to use them to get up after being knocked down by Godzilla or whomever else manages to knock him over.

The original Toho design, as fun as it was for the time period, is completely impractical and to be honest when they show us Ghidorah I'm expecting Smaug with three heads and golden scales. That's about as realistic as Ghidorah will ever be and  whether or not he retains his alien origins or is given a new origin here on Earth, so long as he's bigger than Godzilla and puts up a good fight before kicking the bucket inevitably at the end, I'm good.

Making him quadrupedal would make him more like Keizer Ghidorah. If they're going to reinvent his stance at least make him have two legs but lean forward ans use his wings as front legs to keep himself upright.
