I also didn't care for Godzilla's portrayal as some ancient, grizzled, prize fighter coming out of retirement just to risk his life to kill some bugs. If they were his food source or something, that would've made much more sense. They mentioned that he was an alpha predator, but he doesn't bother to eat either of the other monsters. He was just content to beat them up, which I think is ridiculous.

And then there's the MUTOs. Can someone explain to me why ancient creatures possess the ability to unleash EMP blasts? That was just a bit too convenient for my liking. What purpose would that power have served millions of years ago?

He wasn't just a predator; he was a balancer. Humans awakening the Mutos put things out of whack,  and "nature has a way of restoring balance".

And an EMP is more than just an anti-tech weapon. With the Mutos, it was their means of long distance communication.

Balance in nature means that predators hunt and eat other animals. Where in nature does a predator just show up to beat up other animals just because nature is out of whack?

No, they used echo location with their voices to communicate. Echo location is a sound wave, not an electromagnetic pulse. They were communicating in the beginning of the film over long distances when they were in those cocoons without using EMP blasts. Otherwise, how would they have communicated without knocking out the city's electricity every five seconds?
