Nope, not even close. Godzilla will lose. And according to a nerd much smarter than me, this is why...

Godzilla's toast.


Looking at just the physical side Nel's got so many advantages that it boggles the mind. His body can withstand the heat (~ 5500 °K) and pressure (~ 3.6 × 106 atmospheres) of Azeroth's core without issue. So when Nel takes a swim he's bathing in material that's radiating about 518 megawatts into every square meter of his body. The solid rocket boosters on the space shuttle output about 10 gigawatts, so every 20 square meters of Nel's body is handling a rocket engine's worth of output with no issue. Godzilla's breath weapon can't remotely approach either this energy density or this pressure, so it's not even going to scratch Neltharion. The reverse isn't true however: Nel's breath weapon should also be delivering this much energy, and in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah Godzilla was destroyed by a meltdown that would have resulted in temperatures much less than this.


Beyond the above, Nel has other massive physical advantages. He has much greater reach and strength: Godzilla's arms and legs are tiny compared to his body; Nel could swat him before Godzilla could even get near enough to touch him. This would also give Nel much more maneuverability in a fight, despite his size. Nel can also fly and attack from any angle of his choosing-- even from below using his Earth-warder powers. Speaking of limbs, five of Nel's eight limbs have long razor sharp teeth or claws, and the rest of his body is covered with sharp spikes or blades. Nel's also much, much bigger and more massive: he's about twice the height of Godzilla in the picture. If you compare them both on all fours, Nel's about 4.25x Godzilla's length. If this holds in other dimensions then this means Nel's about 76x Godzilla's mass at minimum per the square-cube law. However, Nel's also made of magma (3x - 5x as dense as Godzilla), so he's probably closer to 300x Godzilla's mass. At this weight he could probably shatter Godzilla's skeleton just by stepping on him.


Nel's eyes are a weak spot as shown in Romancing the Coffer, so perhaps Godzilla could get in a lucky shot. However, this would likely put him right in front of Nel's jaws, which should be strong enough to shatter rock-- Godzilla's skeleton would be little impediment. In any case this would be of little help, since Nel has a crazy-strong healing factor. In the story he regenerated an eye in about a minute. In Canon Deathwing was flying around for 10,000 years with a gaping chest wound, rips throughout his body, and significant external hemorrhaging. This didn't seem to phase him in the slightest.


Of course, adding magical power makes this even more ridiculously one-sided.


As an Aspect Nel's attuned to Earth (matter) in general, and Azeroth in particular. In canon Deathwing set of earthquakes, volcanoes, and caused millions of years worth of geological change in a few days, including pushing up entire mountain ranges. This requires a huge amount of energy: the total seismic energy dissipated by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was 7.78 × 1022 joules. And this was just a single earthquake, not an entire Cataclysm. So Nel has access to a huge amount of energy.


In some sense Nel is Azeroth in draconic form. So likely has access to the planet's entire power budget, which for Earth is 44 terrawatts of sustained geothermal output and 173 petawatts of solar input. Tapping the planet's rotational or orbital energy would add several orders of magnitude more energy (for Earth, 2.1×1029 joules of rotational energy, and 2.7 x 1033 joules of orbital energy). Aside from this he's got access to a lot of non-Earth-Warder related magical power. It's hard to bin how much, but in Canon the planet Drendor was destroyed by magically created portals. It would take 2.4 x 1032 joules to do this to Earth, so the "magical power grid" Nel's hooked into can deliver at least this much energy.


Nel also has very intricate control over matter: In Hammer's Fall he was able to make ice move like water, and crush another character's heart by manipulating the water in their body. This is a frighteningly precise and intricate control over matter, especially when you consider how much power he can put behind it as well.


So yeah, there's no contest.

If you can provide the basis for each of these measurements, I'll humor reading it... but like a trekkie against a star wars fan, I have to disagree.

Also, Nel is killed by teams of 60 people on a nightly basis... That's not really impressive when you consider that Godzilla is attacked by other worlds and wins. :P

For one thing, these bases came from the fact that Neltharion did not die, but was redeemed. Much of which comes from what he did during the Cataclysm when he came out of Deepholm, the rest of it comes from three stories which continues the storyline after the redemption. Especially the war against Ultraxion, in which not even the Dragon Soul was able to take down. Neltharion had no choice but crush his heart using the water in his body. Right after he hugged Ultraxion.

But mostly of it comes from the the statement of Earth Warder–was stated and this was canon, that Neltharion raised mountains, forged rivers, and flattened plains. He's called the Keeper of the Continents. Which means he gets to tap into what drives the planet itself, which includes the heat and energy the planet itself produces and also absorbs from the sun. The other is the other canon statement of Deathwing stating he hated the fact he was made with the heart of the planet. Now, taken without any grain of salt, this means he's pretty much made out of core fluid.

If Azeroth is Earth-like, that means it's got a hard outer, but cracked shell, a plastic-but very HOT middle meat, and a liquid outer core and solid inner core. It's stated Neltharion spent the time in the center of the planet, which is why he was susceptible to the Old God chants. Center of the planet is basically a molten outer core with about 300 thousand atmospheres of pressure squeezing it–and Nel swims around that–it's no wonder he felt heavy.

Godzilla at the time of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah was stated to be swimming around in lava about 1200ºC, and Nel's swimming around a supe twice that much–there is a reason why Godzilla is not going to win.

Secondly, 60 people didn't kill Deathwing, Thrall did with the Dragon Soul–a weapon Deathwing created himself. I raided Deathwing, I know what exactly it was we were fighting. The Raiders were all fighting just adds and debuffs, basically, we were just distracting Deathwing while the Aspects helped charge the Dragon Soul up.

So, pretty much the only thing that could kill Deathwing was something he created himself–as in, only Deathwing can kill himself.

And all this we've managed to figure out from looking at the game, looking at canon sources sources, wikis, and a lot of Warcraft maniacs who read through everything I've written and picked it apart.

And trust me, if I can write a story that can even go beyond the scrutiny of the purists, everything that we've smashed together is very close to the source material. We just were able to figure out what all Deathwing was capable of doing–but because of game mechanics–poor use of dramatic timing–and Chris Metzen really not knowing what all he was going to do with Deathwing in Cataclysm–yeah–Deathwing lost.

I mean, after all, if the world ended, where would Blizzard get their money? Starcraft?

Pretty much what killed Deathwing was just poor writing and Blizzard wanting to end the mess they started by trying to write an easy out for their dragon who literally could not be destroyed.

That's what killed him.

And Godzilla was killed off by the oxygen destroyer, and then a meltdown of 1500ºC in Godzilla vs. Destroyah.

Not impressed.

But, I'll give Godzilla a chance if he dresses in a twinkie suit and gets Neltharion a psychiatrist.

Or if Kiryuu Knight shows up.

I like how you state that Blizzard's poor writing is what killed off this dragon... and can't seem to get around that. But that's ALL you state. No description or anything. Just... their poor writing killed him off...

Doesn't make for a good argument when you're -that- biased. Also, you can't destroy Oxygen...since the laws regarding the conservation of mass state that matter and energy can't be destroyed but only converted into another form...

I.E. Technobable doesn't mean CRAP for proof. Hence, it doesn't count. :P

(Also, if WoW died off, and it will, Blizzard might have to *dare I say it?* make their money by making a... -good- game for a change?! Oh no... whatever shall we do? :P)
