>>114717303To level the playing field between himself and Godzilla and make it more of a fair fight. Remember, Honda and Tsuburaya were both huge Kong fans who credited the original 1933 film as one of their biggest inspirations, they didn't want to do a movie where their OC beats up their idol
>>114714714But even then there's a big disparity
Legendary Kong is almost killed gets killed by machine guns and napalm in his movie while Legendary Godzilla tanked two nukes to the face
>>114717474Honestly it would be more "unexpected" if Godzilla won, everyone expects Kong to win just because he's the underdog
I don't want it to be a curb-stomp, I want it to be a close thing, but I'd definitely prefer it if Godzilla won
He's honestly more of a hero in the Monsterverse than Kong is anyway
