    Enough focus on Godzilla and do a Top 10/20 human characters of the franchise, like:
    Heisei Era's Mikie Saegusa, Commander Takaaki Aso, the Futurians, Sho Kuroki, and the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center

    King Ghidorah is easily one of the best Godzilla’s Villains ever made. Of course he’s the hated rival/nemesis/feud. His is truly Iconic. The Who would have it Dinosaur vs Dragon.

    Since Kong Ghidorah is teaset to be in the upcoming Godzilla Minus Zero, we may need a Monsterverse prequel that centeres aroung the Ancient Titan War, how human civilazation looks up to the Tians like Godzilla as their first gods, and the Arrival of Ghidorah

    As Luke Skywalker has Darth Vader, Optimus Prime has Megatron, Batman has the Joker, Superman has Lex Luthor, Spider-Man has Green Goblin, Hulk has the Abomination, Link and Zelda/Hylia has Ganon/Ganondorf/Demise,Mega Man has Bass, Liu Kang has Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn, He -Man has Skeletor, Lion-O has Mumm-Ra, Son Goku has Frieza, The Powerpuff Girls has Mojo-Jojo, and Samurai Jack has Aku, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is considered the most iconic rivalry in fictional history since the golden-three headed alien dragon is widely considered the King of the Monster's ultimate nemesis as followed from his first debut in 1964.
