Kong deserves to win but probably won’t

I think Kong deserves to win. He mostly just wants to be left alone and protect his island. But Godzilla is probably going to barge in and act like he owns the place cause he’s the “king of the world”. To me Kong seems mostly reclusive unless provoked while Godzilla seems to only care about power and control. Now that’s normal for Godzilla especially considering he’s an amoral animal running entirely on instinct. But that just makes Kong’s connection to humanity all that closer. Kong is able to feel empathy and put his life on the line for others as seen in Skull Island. Monster verse Godzilla to me seems to me just to be a giant animal that just happens to be a little bit smarter than other ones. But let’s face it, Kong probably won’t win. He is a an extreme disadvantage even growing to the same size of Godzilla. Godzilla is just stronger and more powerful. But well see soon. I know I must have upset a lot of G-Fans, but that honestly kinda makes me happy getting the Godzilla worshipers panties in a twist.

I think I understand your points but have to disagree a bit.

I do agree that Kong wants to be left alone on his Island, but the Monsterverse movies point to it being the place where major stuff will go down. And it's no fault to Kong.

I don't think Godzilla is amoral. Godzilla is more about keeping balance globally whereas Kong seeks the same thing locally. 

For instance, people in New York or Melborne might not even know about Kong, but when the rubber meets the road, EVERYBODY knows who Godzilla is. 

I think it will be a brutal fight but ultimately end in a draw. Neither creature has good reason to hate one another. Kong wants his space to be at peace and Godzilla wants the world to be at peace.

Despite me liking Godzilla more than Kong, I agree with you that Kong should win, not only because he deserves to, but because it would also develope the MonsterVerse story wise.

However, I think that saying he'll lose due to his disadvantage in power is a false statement. This is actually an argument G fans constantly use against Kong rooters that I've never liked (that Godzilla should win because he's more powerful). Power ≠ the right to win. That's like saying any underdog protagonist shouldn't defeat the antagonist because they are weaker. Now I'm not saying Godzilla's going to be the antagonist in GvK, but it's the same mind set. And like (most) Godzilla movies, the underdog finds a way to come on top. 

Also, like dk said, I don't consider Godzilla to be amoral at all. He fully realizes the impact his deeds have on the world, and his intentions aren't so much about power as they are about maintaining balance. However, I do agree that his "great cause" for earth will get in the way of Kong's rights to his own home.

I hope you realize just how trollish this kind of statement makes you sound. But given your ending banner, you probably already do.

Exactly.

A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.

I don't think Godzilla is that territorial. He doesn't care about the island as he does for the balance.

So I think if they clash, they'll do over something else, what is put between them via humans (#WhatASurpriseHumanDoesSomethingStupidAgain)!

And Kong will win the battle, there is no way around this. Godzilla won the last two movies, so he will have to pass his crown.

There's no guarantee at this point that that is what will happen.
