King Ghidorah is the fearsome 3 headed dragon that's been a thorn in Godzilla's side since 1964! And over his 60 years of existence, he's gone through numerous shapes and sizes. So I figured I'd rank all of his designs from worst to best to celebrate his longevity!

It's kinda interesting how we actually got an heroic Ghidorah in GMK just because of him and Mothra replacing lesser known monsters as the guardians for increased marketing value. It definitely paid off, with that movie being the most profitable of the Millennium series, but that sudden one-off recast is still so jarring.

KOTM is not only my favorite Godzilla movie, but my favorite movie of all time. I have completely lost track of how many times I watched it over the years, and no movie has ever trumped my sheer hype for this one during the build-up to release, and all the toho kaiju redesigns were an enormous factor in my unprecedented excitement.

At least Showa still had personality even when under command of aliens, but Heisei is an unthinking creature. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

You missed one incarnation of the big KG. As obscure as it is... Monsterverse Mechagodzilla is Kevin. His head was never eaten or destroyed during the events of the Oxygen Destroyer bomb. And is the only head to survive since all 3 were vaporized by Burning Godzilla. Making it the head that was recovered in the post-credits scene of KOTM. This head was the neural link to Mechagodzilla and took it over during the events of GvK. And was basically Kevin in a Godzilla mech out for revenge.

I love Ghidorah, he's my favorite kaiju aside from Godzilla himself. My favorite is a close tie between Legendary and Grand King, both of whom have a lot of personality that other incarnations lack. Third place goes to Desghidorah for his unique design and colors. Heisei is a pretty good interpretation, though I'm not as fond of his mecha form. Showa is pretty iconic but I don't like how he's mind controlled in most appearances. Void Ghidorah is an interesting concept but was lots in execution. Keizer has a lot of weird proportions that make him look wonky at certain angles; I don't mind him being quadrepedal, but his wings are way too small, he's got some extra thicc necks, and the colors kinda clash for me.
