Except Hedorah is literally a giant blob, trying selling that to the average moviegoer. Also, try creating a grounded approach to that. I know a giant moth and a giant three-headed dragon is no easy sell, either, but both definitely sound more appealing to casual audiences than a giant blob of waste.

Oh, and I don't recall Baragon, Varan or Gorosaurus ever being able to limit Godzilla's atomic breath via EMP, do you? Heck, one MUTO was enough to give him a run for his money while two kicked the living crap out of him. Those 3 are at best on par with the MUTOs, and that's not the rule for sequels. The general rule of thumb is: the enemy has to be more imposing with each sequel, the TDK trilogy did it with the Joker, and then Bane and MoS is doing it right now with General Zod, and then the duo of Lex and Cyborg (expect Doomsday and/or Darkseid to appear later on, in the JL and next MoS solo film), and that's where MechaGodzilla, Biollante and Destroyah come in for the 3rd movie as they're all stronger than Ghidorah... well, the first 2 have a case for being stronger and the 3rd (Destroyah) is stronger.

Besides, just imagine how awesome each of those 3 would look in modern CGI with an updated look, especially Destroyah, that has me wetting my pants just thinking about it.
