Fan-service is keeping Godzilla a giant prehistoric reptile with atomic breath and not making him a giant fish-eating iguana instead. Fan-service is making a subtle reference to the Shobijin in a movie that does not include them. Fan-service is keeping classic elements of characters while still altering them in a way that fits into the story the filmmakers are trying to tell. I guarantee that most fans would be happier to see Ghidorah retain some kind of extraterrestrial background than have him placed into the cookie-cutter origin that is now commonplace for kaiju in the Legendary universe.
