Description Here we are with Part 7 of the voice cast list, ladies and gentlemen. And now, after rummaging around through the heroes, and anti-heroes of the kaiju-verse i created, it's at last time to get to the REAL juicy part of this assembly line. The part i know EVERYONE'S been eagerly awaiting all this time: it's time for the villains to shine. Beginning with this part. And, funny enough, the first true villain to ever appear in toho history, and Godzilla lore.

Grand/King/Lord Ghidorah: Mark Hamill (Firelord Ozai from "Avatar: The Last Airbender") - Sure, Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be every-bodies go-to guy for voicing the 3 headed king of terror. But I, for one, had someone else in mind. One who has a LONG history of voicing ruthless, malevolent, and sinister villains in his lifetime (which is ironic since it was a hero role which set off his career). I speak, of course, of none other than Mark Hamill himself. And in regards to King Ghidorah, i mean specifically for his role as the iconic main villain of the epic, and critically acclaimed TV series, "Avatar: The Last Airbender": Firelord Ozai. Like Ghidorah, Ozai is a cruel, malevolent, vicious, and vile excuse for a lifeform who has no regard for anything, or anyone, except for his own desire for power, and strength. He is/was a cruel tyrant who used the fire-nation to terrorize, and conquer the other great nations. Let's not even forget the hell he put his own son through, which included burning half of his face off, and then banishing him from home until he found the Avatar. He is cruel, unfeeling, ruthless, and even to a degree, cunning. And even when covered in silhouette until the final season, he had a presence, and air of authority, and respect only a powerful villain could possess. And Mark Hamill portrays this with all of his most devious skill. As my version of King Ghidorah is pretty similar to Ozai, i have no reason to believe Mark Hamill couldn't give him the same amount of villainous love, and care he gave to Ozai. With him, everyone would see why Ghidorah is a true mortal enemy to the line of Godzilla. Even unto his dying days at the end of "The Kaiju Chronicles".

Monster X/Kaiser Ghidorah: Ron Perlman (Deathstroke/Slade from "Teen Titans") - Most definitely an improvement over who i had chosen to play as X before. And really, Cooler doesn't have much in common with him. But Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke? Performed by the actor, Ron Perlman? Ohohohohoh, yes! Yes, indeed. Ron Perlman used a slick, confident, cunning, manipulative, cruel, and sadistic performance to make Slade into one of the most renowned AND reviled villains in fictional history. To put it simply, he is a dark foil to the Batman. Literally his opposite in every way possible. And part of the reason it's so hard to take him down. He is always planning, and always scheming. He ensures he always remains one step ahead of his enemies, no matter the circumstances. And though he IS quick to anger, he mostly remains calm, and collected throughout his encounters with the Teen Titans. And he becomes the archenemy of Robin - to a rather disturbing degree. And funny enough, he ends up making a deal with the devil aka Trigon, in order to regain his literal life, seeing as how he's resurrected as a living skeletal corpse. Ew. But when his employer inevitably betrays him, he's as prepared as ever against the threat, and allies with the Titans to defeat him. The Trigon arc is definitely where Slade kicks his epic badassery up a notch, or a thousand. And makes sure to remind everyone he's his OWN boss. The same is similar with Monster X in alot of respects. At least in the Kaiju Chronicles, and its sequel Chronicles of War. But unlike Slade, X has a bit of an uppity on his side: the fact he has his powerful Kaiser Ghidorah form to earn him victories in battle. And to be clear, Kaiser sounds just like the Abomination from "Hulk: Ultimate Destruction". This means that the two characters are one in the same - no jekyll and hyde, banner and hulk, harvey and two-face relationships here, seeing as how it's done to death. Just a vile, and devious, skeletal fiend given life by one of the most amazing actors in the business. What else can you say about Ron "Hellboy" Perlman?

Gigan: Steve Blum (Zabuza from the Naruto franchise) - When folks see Gigan in his Final Wars design, what do they normally think of him as? Simple: a kaiju assassin. And why shouldn't they think so? He's covered in sleek, black armor, and has a thin, but firmly strong build - and he's covered nearly head to tow in blades that can even cut through Godzilla's own body. Naturally, when casting for a potantial animated series, you would want someone who could portray the cold, ruthless, blood-thirsty persona an assassin like him should be able to possess. With good fortune, i found it in the form of amazing animated/anime voice actor, Steve Blum. More specifically for his role as the ninja assassin, Zabuza, who was the definition of a cold, cruel, blood-thirsty killing machine. And for that role, Steve managed to put the ruthlessness, cold unfeeling vileness, and the frightening thirst for death which made Zabuza the ideal first antagonist of the series. Gigan in TKCW is very similar, though his bloodlust isn't as extreme, nor is his savagery unless he's provoked into it. He even has a partner in crime like Zabuza does. Either way, with the talents of Steve Blum, Gigan could become even more of a memorable character than he ever was, and ever will be. And that's a guarantee.

Megalon: Clancy Brown (The Rhino from "The Spectacular Spider-man") - Not much to say on this one. Clancy brown is a man who not only knows how to play the role of the suave, cool, but also shrewd villains - but he also knows how to play the role of the semi-dimwitted brute, and/or thug. Case in point, is his role as Rhino from "Spectacular Spiderman". And it's for this role specifically that i felt Clancy Brown was ideal for playing as Megalon. Like Rhino, he's basically a demolisher who acts more like a thug than anything else. Though he's not THAT dumb, he still isn't the smartest kaiju in the bunch. But he DOES take pleasure in his destructive tasks, just like Rhino enjoys trashing everything he sees. And both are the muscles of their respective villain teams. And coincidentally, both have horns. This makes for a perfect casting match-up that i think works perfectly. Now, if we could just make sure Megs doesn't get his head stuck in the wall again, that would be JUUUUST great.

Nah, probably not: if earth laws never applied to kaiju, why should any laws in space apply to Alien Kaiju?
