Let me just debunk this whole "King Ghidorah being an independent alien that just happens to come across our planet and be anything that even remotely resembles King Ghidorah at all is realistic" thing once and for all:

The nearest habitable planet is 11.9 light years away from us. That's 119 TRILLION (119,000,000,000,000) kilometers away from Earth. Since it is 100% physically impossible for King Ghidorah to go at the speed of light--or for that matter, King Ghidorah can't go even ONE PERCENT the speed of light, which is 2,997.92 kilometers per second (KG's top speed is mach 3, which is 1,020.87 METERS per second, or about 0.1% the speed of light. This means it would take King Ghidorah BILLIONS of years to fly through space and just happen to come across our little planet... and that's JUST if it comes from the nearest habitable planet to us! If King Ghidorah's planet is further than that, it would take more and more time until it's no longer possible for King Ghidorah to have evolved in time, since the universe is only about 16 billion years old. Don't even tryto say "King Ghidorah could've just evolved on a closer planet and evolved more quickly," if that were true then there would be a LOT of extraterrestrial life near us in real life, and evolution isn't just turning into a Charizard when you reach level 37, it's small mutations that happen when DNA (or whatever an extraterrestrial equivalent of DNA will be, must be extremely powerful if it's going to survive the vacuum of space, the intense gamma radiation, and not being just sucked out and staying together in one body) is duplicated or passed down to a new generation--when a parent has its child. These mutations, if they're advantageous, will accumulate and eventually the creature will evolve into something different from what its ancestors were. A lot of the time, species will split evolutionarily, like apes and humans, which split and are different species. The chance of this happening long enough for a 100+ meter creature even remotely resembling King Ghidorah to fly up into space, wander aimlessly for BILLIONS of years (not dying, not feeding on anything, not drinking water [or some other universal solvent] or anything, just traveling towards Earth IN SPACE with tons of deadly gamma radiation) and just happening to come across Earth is way, way, way, 'waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too obscenely small.

As you can see by the paragraph above, if they made Ghidorah an independent creature that just flew through space, the amount of realism that will be destroyed will be so massive that it will collapse in on itself, create a black hole, and kill us all a million times quicker than King Ghidorah can even fly.

If Edwards decides to do this, well, all realism will be thrown out the window, but it's going to be okay I guess. We don't go to Godzilla movies to see something realistic, but Edwards has kind of made it a thing to try to make his universe grounded.
