To its credit the Super Mechagodzilla mode is cool, it makes Mechagodzilla look like a robotic Blastoise so there are bonus points there. Not to mention, when this thing dies, it gets rebuilt as MOGUERA, which is like the worst downgrade ever, the only reason MOGUERA didn’t make the list is he actually does aid in the death of Spacegodzilla. The suit has really tiny arms that make it look really clumsy and it just doesn’t look like it has that much fire power and just looks too sleek for a robot meant to represent the rough and monstrous Godzilla. The nose is too rounded and large and the overall design is pretty circular and just looks quite globulous bordering on fat. The main reason this guy makes the list is because it looks goofy as you can get. Showa Mechagodzilla made it on the top 10 best, so his retrain makes it to the top 10 worst. However, both monsters do look cool and display some amazing abilities and fighting, so they do come out more positive, however I feel like their existence is a wasted opportunity for finishing the Godzilla franchise back in 2004when it was set to end. But if they wanted more marquee value they could have just put the original iconic three-headed dragon in. While these two do look cool and have perhaps one of the coolest kaiju deaths to date, they just seem like a pointless villain, why didn’t they just use the normal King Ghidorah? That would have been a much better final fight since the rivalry between Ghidorah and Godzilla, and while I get why they made it a different monster/retrain of an iconic monster, it was for some level of marquee value. While Monster X looks really cool, he’s nothing of real merit without the existence of his final form Kaiser Ghidorah. The final new Godzilla villain for 10 years, followed up by 2014’s MUTO, and to me this feels like a mighty underwhelming final boss. But he’s at 10 because, to his credit, I do still like Zilla and felt there’s just enough negatives to balance out his positives, so he’ll take his place with the worst and best, satisfying everyone. Not to mention Zilla also served as a foe in Godzilla: Final Wars, only to lose within the first 20 seconds of his arrival, I know this was meant to serve as retaliation from Japan against America, it was a pretty abysmal display on the part of Zilla. Zilla’s design is fine for me, I actually like it, but points against him are the fact that he’s perhaps one of the most brittle kaiju ever, getting killed by a few missiles is not the way the king is supposed to go. Zilla was meant to serve as the new incarnation of the King of the Monsters, and instead was so poorly received that the God from his name was removed, ouch. First off the stain that Zilla left on the franchise, no matter how much they try to redeem him or kill him to make up for it, will always remain for many. Ok this one might seem a little bit odd considering I had Zilla as my number 10 favourite Godzilla enemy last list, but this time he’s not going to be judged on his merits, he’s getting judged based on his screw ups. The rules are simple, if Godzilla has fought them, they make the list, with that said let’s get into the list. Keep in mind this list is entirely subjective, if you disagree pleae let me know who your worst Godzilla enemies are in the comments. These are the kaiju I consider the worst from the franchise and that don’t quite work for me as villains or at the very least kaiju’s in general. This was bound to happen, after doing the Top 10 Best Godzilla Enemies, I had to follow it up a top 10 worst list.
