Surtur (MCU) Vs King Ghidorah (Godzilla: King of the Monsters)

[KJS]

Giant Surtur from the end of Thor: Ragnarok takes on King Ghidorah from the recent King of the Monsters movie.

How goes it?

[The Arbiter]

G is a seriously tough monster but I can't imagine he wins this fight.

If Surtur is throwing out island busting attacks, that should be enough to 10 count the guy or flat out vaporize him.

It could very well end similarly to how Burning Godzilla all but crippled Ghidorah. Only instead of stomping on Ghidorah, it's Surtur burying the Twilight Sword deep in Ghidorah's chest and unleashing hell. I don't think it'd be enough to kill the alien hydra, but it'd be enough to hinder him. Considering how Surtur's sword instantly disintegrated Hela on contact and then proceeded to demolish Asgard, I'd say that's a likely conclusion.

With that said, Ghidorah's faster, more mobile, and might be able to restrain Surtur long enough to siphon his power. It's a race to see who hits who first as both titans possess strength/firepower that outperform their respective durabilities.

I don't think that Ghidorah has close to the firepower needed to hurt Surtur. Ghidorah isn't even close to city-busting levels - he's like a city-block-buster. Surtur laughs at that.

I mean, that's totally not true based on his feats. He can one shot KO a creature who is fine sitting within an erupting volcano that was sending out kilometer wide shockwaves.

Scale =/= oomph. At least not always. Just because the city didn't blow up every time he fired a blast doesn't mean his blasts don't pack a much bigger wallop then a few city blocks.

Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan are demonstrably higher than city-block level. King Ghidorah either a) overpowered them or b) killed them outright.

So where would you place him? It seems like love for the KoM movie is pretty inflationary with the capacities of the beasties involved. None of Zilla or the others did anything like hitting hard enough to waste entirely even a few city blocks. The alleged cat 5 hurricane didn't stop planes flying through them, and it DEFINITELY had nothing like the effect of randomly generating massive storms from nothing would do to the surface of the earth.

This isn't even getting into how much bigger Surtur was then they are. He's large enough to grab a couple of heads and just rip them apart. He was TOWERING over Asgard's castle, a building in itself that is pretty ridiculously massive.

I enjoyed KoM to some extent as well, but it seems like we are giving these beasties a lot of capabilities that they simply haven't shown.
