Would Drogon of Game of Thrones Conquer Rodan, the Godzilla of 2019?

In the epic tales of Game of Thrones, Drogon, the largest dragon from the Dracarys rider Daenerys Targaryen, reigns supreme. While Rodan, the iconic 1954 Rodan-Godzilla, of the Monsters Inc. shared universe, commands respect as a monstrous creature. This analysis will explore the mighty beings to determine if Drogon could indeed triumph over Rodan.

The Dragons of Game of Thrones

The dragons of Game of Thrones are legendary, with Balerion the Black Dread leading the pack, boasting a fearsome size and a vengeful rider, Aegon the Conquerer. Drogon, one of Daenerys's three dragons, although considerably smaller than Balerion, still stands tall at approximately 100 feet long with a wingspan double that. Despite his formidable size, Drogon lacks the sheer might and resilience of Godzilla, as displayed in the 2019 film. Even in one-on-one fights, Drogon's strength, while impressive, is overshadowed by his invaders.

The Size and Power Comparison

The size and power differences between Godzilla and Drogon are significant. Drogon is a colossal beast, standing 100 feet long from snout to tail with a wingspan of around 200 feet. Yet, compare this to Godzilla, who towers over Drogon at more than 300 feet in height and an estimated 1000 feet in length. Godzilla's head alone is larger than Drogon’s entire body, showcasing his extraordinary size.

Dragon and Monster Battles

Battle scenes in both Game of Thrones and Godzilla films showcase the dragons' incredible prowess. In Game of Thrones, Drogon is a formidable presence, capable of matching entire armies. However, he has vulnerabilities, such as being wounded by Qyburn's Scorpion bolts during his fight with Bronn.

Meanwhile, Godzilla's battles are confrontations of immense proportions. Sonar blasts, rocket fire, and even nuclear explosions serve as mere mosquito bites to this gargantuan creature. In the 2019 film, Godzilla demonstrates remarkable durability, surviving direct hits from naval cannons and anti-ship missiles. Even modern weaponry, though potent, cannot deter the resilient Godzilla.

Fire and Durability

While Drogon has the devastating weapon of dragonfire, this is not invincible. Dragonfire is effective against armored knights and large land armies, but it's nowhere near as powerful as Godzilla's atomic breath. Godzilla can vaporize the Iron Throne with a single breath, far outshining Drogon's flaming tail. Drogon's fire can melt iron and steel, but it pales in comparison to the sheer heat and impact of Godzilla's atomic fire.

Mobility and Strategy

The only advantage Drogon has over Godzilla is his ability to fly. However, this advantage is limited. If Drogon gets too close to Godzilla, he can be swatted away. In the Godzillium film, Godzilla easily dispatches the Mighty United Tribes (MUTOs) by crushing them with his tail. The same would be true for Drogon, as his size and strength would be overwhelmed instantly.

In the battle, Drogon's best option would be to flee. Staying in the air and attacking from above could provide some tactical advantage, but Godzilla's sheer size and strength mean that any attempt to engage directly would likely lead to Drogon's demise. The only way Drogon could survive is to retreat or submit to Godzilla's dominance.

Conclusion: While Drogon may be a magnificent and fearsome dragon, he would not be able to conquer Rodan, the Godzilla of 2019. Godzilla's immense size, durability, and atomic breath make him a formidable opponent, leaving Drogon with little chance of victory.
