Godzilla Character Analysis: Destoroyah

Why didn't I see this earlier?

Tohokingdom.com has some fantastic articles dedicated to analyzing various Godzilla enemies.

Some true Godzilla fans have spent a lot of time and effort gauging how each villain ranks, presenting very good arguments for and against things.

I'll be chronicling various characters here for your pleasure, picking what I feel are my favorite of the bunch.

For starters we have the literal "Doomsday" of the Godzilla world, Destoroyah.

Known as the last monster the original Godzilla fought before his death, Destoroyah remains the most powerful Kaiju villain ever.

Withstanding multiple hits from Godzilla's red spiral atomic breath, and easily whipping him and Godzilla Jr. around like rag dolls, no other Kaiju comes even close to his power.

There were also the various transformations Destoroyah had, further causing havoc amongst any battle.

My favorite thing about Destoroyah though remains his wickedly sick look.

He just looks EVIL.

There's no doubting his intentions when he first arrived on scene, as he was there to utterly destroy (pun intended) Godzilla and Godzilla Jr.

All in all I thought Destoroyah was a satisfying villain.

I am happy that he was not brought back for the "Godzilla Final Wars" film, as reintroducing him only to be quickly wiped out by Godzilla would have lessened his impact.
