Should King Ghidorah have more than 3 heads for the Godzilla sequel?

NO! If it has more than 3 heads, it's not King Ghidorah, it's something else. Orochi and King Ghidorah are two different monsters. Technological advances or not, King Ghidorah has always had 3 heads, it's how he is recognized by both the fans and the non-fans. Giving him more heads would create a new monsters. So no, King Ghidorah should not have more than 3 heads in the sequel.

Yes King Ghidorah was based off the 8 headed hydra of Greek legend, but that doesn't mean he needs 8 heads. 3 is plenty.

NO!!!

Nope! I AM THE GIGAN!

Never Ever in forever....                                               BUT MAYBEY A FEW MORE EYES 

It's a hell of a risk to even do. On one side it can be pulled off but on the other would it even be considered as King Ghidorah? The one thing Godzilla fans doesn't want to see is another '98 moment and if King Ghidorah is drastically changed to a point it doesn't look like King Ghidorah, fans will flip. There is a way for it to play out though. King Ghidorah could have more heads as long the traditional 3 was seen. During this moment would also require a classic Godzilla and Ghidorah fight. However later on King Ghidorah either A goes through a form of metamorphasis that has it grows extra heads or B gets mutated by something. But I think the best way is to just leave Ghidorah with the 3 heads just so fans won't have much to complain about.

No but like 6 eyes on evry head would be cool

No. If King Ghidorah has more than three heads then call it something else.

GODZILLATHEKING123 - I would very much like for King Ghidorah's physiology to remain intact for the new film. In my opinion, changing his iconic appearance would be, for lack of a better, disrespectful to the source material - somewhat like taking the bony plates off of Godzilla's back. For many, it would not be the same creature. Regardless, this was a very interesting question! :)

do you want a repeat of 98?

not godzilla=bad.

not KG= bad.

Zillaforlife: Did I say anything about being in favour of King Ghidorah having more than 3 heads? I simply asked a question on it. I don't have a position on this at the moment either way, but reflecting on the possibilties.

KingKai: Yes, I know Orochi and KG are different monsters, but that being said, there is an  uncanny resemblance between them.  Look at the 1994 movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIFebs78k-I

Orochi has no wings and has 8 heads, but other than that, it looks strangely familar to us, don't you think? If you change Orochi's skin color and add in the wings, he could easily passed for an extra-headed KG, or more likely, a cousin of KG, hehehehe.

Somethingreal: I'm glad you appreciated my question. I think as a Godzilla fan, one must strike a balance between protecting or retaining what godzilla is and at the same time being open to new ideas and creative avenues. I'm not saying I want a KG more than 3 heads, but I think one can at least speculate about it, for the sake of keeping an open mind.  

GODZILLATHEKING123 - I whole-heartedly understand and respect your viewpoint on this matter. :)

Yo opino que deberia de ser interesante pero bueno, perdonen es que hablo español,tambien espero que esta nueva pelicula de Godzilla sea interesante, y tenga mas batallas y mas misterio. :) 

I don't really like the idea of giving Ghidorah more than three heads. While I'm all about updating and changing monsters, Ghidorah's 3 heads are the staple of the character. Something as key as that isn't really something that can be changed.

Simply put:

Him having more than 3 heads is NOT Ghidorah, they named his first movie Ghidorah The Three Headed Dragon for a reason, you know. More eyes/limbs (which I've seen on a popular Legendary reskin of him BTW), maybe, but another head or heads? No way!

^My name is not KINGKAI. It's KINGKAIJUGOJIRA. Please refer to me as KINGKAIJUGOJIRA. Thank you.

No need to fix what isn't broken. I'll be honest I was playing "Final Fantasy Mystic Quest" and one of the bosses name is Ghidrah. Instantly I thought to King Ghidorah, and knew that the boss would have three heads just like him. To my amazment the boss had three heads.

No, they should keep it three heads. It's Ghidorah tradition.

They don't have to have King Ghidorah specifically for me (although I would like that), but whichever ghidorah they throw up in there, it has to have three heads and be a dragon-based creature to earn the title. Those are the two basic rules with the ghidorah family:

1. Be a Dragon

2. Have three heads.

No more, no less.

I respectfully disagree with most of these answers, honestly.

So just because Ghidorah gets one or more extra heads, that doesn't make him the same monster? Let's say he got the same color, the same basic overall look with a modern twist or two, the same name and in this case let's say either the same or an origin very close to the original, he's not Ghidorah just because he has one or two extra heads...?

In my opinion, one of the problems with the Godzilla fan base is that there seems to be too little room for creativity. It's like almost every detail has to be the same or there's a problem with it.

Now as for 1998 that was a huge change so I understand that, but saying a monster isn't the same monster just because he gets an extra head?

Nobody HAS to like the idea, but it seems to me that everyone is saying that the sequel would become some kind of abomination and 1998 would happen again just because of a change that doesn't seem like such a big deal in my opinion.

I just don't get that I guess.

So as for me, if they wanted to try it, they could go ahead. I would base my own opinion on whether or not the monster was Ghidorah on how he overall acts, looks (in terms of bigger changes than just an extra head or two), and comes from.
