  1. While I agree with Ghidorah for #1, I am distressed by the absence of Mothra. Still, an excellent list overall, and much needed.

      • No one who can create hurricane winds with their wings can possibly be overrated. And the twins fight for peace and justice. I guess some people think peace and justice are creepy.

        • Mothra’s not only overrated, she’s derivative: a precious and lesser version of Rodan — who is a far superior, ass-kicking wind-blower. And I refuse to be baited by your politicization of the twins, which is as misguided as it is incorrect. The original lyrics of their mind-numbing “Song of Mothra” are a call to battle: “Mothra oh, Mothra/With the power of your ancestor/Grant the prayer of your followers/Arise, and show your power!”

          • So Dan, you assert that peace and justice are incompatible with the idea of power? And that they don’t have to be fought for?

            Interesting. Very interesting.

          • Do not twist my words, Mr. Peyer. Your suggestion of peace through superior firepower smacks of ’80s neoconservatism, couched in the phrasing of ’60s counterculture rebellion. I shan’t be baited by your unfortunate misunderstanding of the basic fascistic, if weak-kneed, nature of Mothra and her shrill toadies.

  2. List totally invalidated by non-presence of Mothra. She should be number 2 or 3 at lowest.

  3. Ghidorah is definite my No. 1, but He do Rah is really creepy/bizarre.
