Look, I'm sorry, but is it absolutely necessary to have King Kong in the Godzilla universe? I didn't like the original vs. Kong...well, that was Japanese campiness, so that might be why.
I just never liked "simply larger animals" as being kaiju. I respect Kong, but...ugh, I am so confused.
I like Gamera and Mothra, since they have unique abilities and stories (not aware of Kong's in-universe backstory).
At least they're not Ebirah.

Why not? It's two legendary monsters squaring off against one another.

Plus King Kong has fought Godzilla in Toho films before.

So basically you don't like Godzilla.

Yes, because product of war and science = simply larger animal.

Well he is a giant lizard so he would fall under your designation of simply larger animal.

I meant large as in "only unique characteristic". I don't like that.

@ ZodiacBeast: Deep Sea Gigantism is a thing.
The reason for Kongs size is because he evolved to fight off V.Rexs, at least in the Peter Jackson version and the expanded encyclopedia of Skull Island related to said movie..

Take away Godzilla's atomic breath and his ability to walk upright and that's pretty much on the nose.

...ok? He has those, so he's unique. Why are we arguing about this again?

I'm actually really excited for the Godzilla vs King Kong movie since that would be a battle for the ages.

I hope this goes the campy route. I'd love to see it do that. And,I think that it would also make the Japanese very happy as well.
