So at face value, Godzilla can certainly be classified as Godzilla vs. Kong’s winner, but as Max Borenstein sees it, these two Titans aren’t exactly on equal footing. As he put it, Godzilla is more of a force of nature, whereas King Kong can be personified more easily, particularly since Godzilla vs. Kong revealed that he can communicate through sign language. Between the intelligence and his tool-making abilities, King Kong is still one of Earth’s biggest powerhouses, but as we saw when he faced Godzilla, he just doesn’t quite measure up with his opponent in terms of pure brawn. At least he shines in other ways, and Godzilla vs. Kong definitely painted Kong in a more protagonistic light.
