He was able to blind the big guy in one eye and charred up one of his arms pretty good too. He\u2019s also notable for obviously killing an ungodly amount of people on screen, somewhat of a no-no for Godzilla films of the time. He makes for a good villain, well at least until Godzilla fries him and turns him into a burnt out smoking husk that looks like something you\u2019d get at a Mexican restaurant under the \u201cHouse Specials!\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p>Hedorah only appeared one more time, in Godzilla: Final Wars, where he got the shit kicked out of him pretty quickly. And that was that. So to you Hedorah, you big not subtle way of judging man\u2019s polluting ways, we nod firmly in your direction. God Bless you.<\/p>\n<p>I bet Hedorah stinks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pooke.thedreamisdead.com\/?attachment_id=801\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-801\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-801\" title=\"Hedorah_spraying_sulfuric_acid\" src=\"http:\/\/pooke.thedreamisdead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Hedorah_spraying_sulfuric_acid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"261\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hedorah!
