Before I say anything else, let me state this. I fully understand that it is canon that the aerosol spray breath is supposed to be the atomic breath.
Having said that, I still feel that upon viewing Ghidrah: The Three Headed Monster, that Godzilla comes across as somewhat weakened.
The first time we see Godzilla he zaps the boat with an animated ray, then while he fights Rodan the ray is the air spray, then when he fights Ghidorah he is reduced to continually hurling rocks.
This, along with a relatively poor showing in the melee portions of the battle with Ghidorah, left me with the impression that Godzilla was weakened somehow, or just in need of a "recharge."
I understand that Godzilla's performance was meant to make Ghidorah seem more powerful, I just think that it would have been even more impressive if Godzilla had put in a really great showing and Ghidorah still opened up a can.
Rodan, for example, was a total hardcore badass in the film, and that didn't take away from Ghidorah's presence.
Don't get me wrong though, Ghidrah is one of my favorite Godzilla films.
