For those who think Godzilla is a bigger draw than King Kong...

[Hector]

It's a tough call, yes Godzilla has the size advantage, atomic gas breath, long tail.....Kong is smarter with long powerful arms, compared to short Godzilla arms, Kong can jump and is more faster and agile, Godzilla is brute force with the brain of a cherry, Kong is a thinking animal and intelligent. Godzilla I'm sure is the Vegas favorite, but if Kong can dodge the breath
and watch the tail, he can win this.

Other than indestructible armor, completely immune to conventional weapons, massive tail, powerful jaws and sharp teeth, regenerating cells, doesn't get tired, doesn't have to eat, doesn't have to sleep, etc.

Don't forget the tiny, tiny hands. That's a super power in some geopolitical perspectives.

You mean like Batman writers do in order to beat Superman?

Yes, because there is no way Batman could beat Superman otherwise. But you know who can beat Superman? He-Man. When Sups went nuts in the injustice universe and went on a killing spree, it was He-Man that finally put him down.

If you think the studio will allow one to beat the other look back at all the Superman vs Batman battles. They will fight but in the end they will team up to fight the true bad guy.

Take out Godzilla’s atomic breath...and he’s got nothing.

Other than indestructible armor, completely immune to conventional weapons, massive tail, powerful jaws and sharp teeth, regenerating cells, doesn't get tired, doesn't have to eat, doesn't have to sleep, etc. But, yeah, other than that. Seriously though writers have to do some pretty massive cheating to have Kong get not insta-killed by Godzilla.

You mean like Batman writers do in order to beat Superman?

Exactly so. Or Supes beating Capt. Marvel.

[Hector]

Ha! So you do admit the writers would have to cheat and Godzilla is more powerful.

Imagine Godzilla’s T-Rex arms going toe-to-toe with Kong’s massive hands, forearms, biceps, and shoulders...

KO, baby!!!!!!

[Werewolf]

Well HELLO!!!!! That has been my point from the beginning!!!

“Go through a transformation”

Yes, I said that...

[Hector]

Kong is still just a giant ape. Has to eat, sleep, gets tired, etc. Godzilla is an atomic fire breathing indestructible armored walking nuclear reactor whose cells constantly regenerate. I'm sure the writers can come up with some kind of electric Kong style McGuffin to power Kong up because otherwise the movie would last about 10 seconds when Godzilla lets loose his atomic fire and blasts Kong's head clean off.

Or... hear me out...

Kong made $566.7M.
With Godzilla (2014) and Kind of the Monsters, Godzilla made $914.9M.

"No fair, you are comparing two movies to one," you might rightly say. To which I would point out, what would even be the Kong sequel without Godzilla?!? Clearly, Godzilla is the stronger monster / franchise.

King Kong (2005)
Domestic: $218,080,025 39.6%
+ Foreign: $332,437,332 60.4%
= Worldwide: $550,517,357

King Kong and Kong Skull Island = $1.1 billion. And that’s not even adjusting the 2005 Kong to inflation.

Sure, there are more Godzilla films...but pound for pound, Kong is King.

[Werewolf]

Godzilla is not going to decimate Kong. This Kong is not going to be the Kong you saw in Skull Island. This Kong will be much bigger and go through a transformation in order to be able to match up with the lizard.

You’ll see...
