Godzilla. Kong could put up a huge fight, but ultimately, he has no hope of rationally and compellingly beating Godzilla without executive meddling or copouts.

Kong is the underdog and there's no way the underdog would lose.

Having the Underdog always win is cliche to me. And Godzilla is also a thinking animal.

My expectations: Kong’s gonna win because he’s up against immeasurable odds and the audience is gonna sympathize with him more. Odds are Godzilla will have his character make a hard 90 degree turn to be more antagonistic or something.

What I want: Godzilla wins. We already got Kong’s victory by Toho in 1962. It would be cool if in the Legendary version, Godzilla won. Plus, it’d be a nice twist to have Kong be treated as the aggressor, with beating Godzilla having dire consequences (Titans are now more dangerous as Godzilla isn’t seen as top dog anymore, and Kong doesn’t exactly realize the consequences.) then come the final round, Godzilla has to reclaim his title to once again maintain the natural balance.
Reignited... and hopefully less weird this time around.

King Kong just to piss off the "Godzilla da strongest an never loses" crowd.

I just want a good fight(s), none of this one sided one hit slaughter the aforementioned group wants.

sounds like a boogeyman tbh

This is also the logic some writers over at the KWC section use just to write matches exclusively to spite others (that somehow still get accepted)

In a meta sense Godzilla is the underdog, since most of us probably expect (not necessarily want, but expect) Kong to win for that reason, plus how apes and mammals in general tend to win in most media.

I doubt it.

My bet is that Kong will be the antagonist of GvsK, manipulated into fighting Godzilla by Jonah's organization, and if/when he wins it will be the catalyst for another kaiju apocalypse when those other Titans from KotM start to go rogue in Godzilla's absence. Kong won't bother stopping them because he's only interested in protecting Skull Island. The human protagonists will either need to take down Jonah so Kong is no longer a threat or convince Kong to let Godzilla restore balance without intervening.

Pretty sure very few on team Godzilla actually want that. I know I don’t; I want to see Godzilla win but only just barely after a long brutal fight.

Wanting Kong to win just out of spite isn’t much better than that crowd you mentioned IMO.

. I like this, but with a Rocky 3 type scenario. The champ (Godzilla) gets defeated by the new, younger upstart (Kong), then comes back to reclaim his crown in round 2. Then they each get a win.

Honestly? This is my preferred scenario. Both sides get a win, and it retains the status quo for the two of them. Kong isn’t forced to maintain an entire planet’s worth of monsters, and Godzilla can still remain active if the Monsterverse continues for future sequels.

I expect Kong to put up a hell of a fight but ultimately lose by being overwhelmed, Especially after KOTM I don't see Kong being victorious without multiple titans at his aid or human interference. Or Kong somehow gets an upgrade similar to in the original he was given electricity powers.

I mean we both know they will eventually team up, but it will be interesting to show neither of them as push-overs.

Those who voted for Kong should be immediately banned and forced to go to the most popular Kong forum (good luck finding one though)

The bottom line is Kong sucks monkey balls. However, it's obvious they'll go with Kong as the underdog and end up victorious - it's too god damn predictable which is why my hype for this movie will easily be the lowest of any Monsterverse film (barring Kong: Skull Island). To make matters worse though, I have a strong feeling they'll turn Godzilla antagonistic which makes NO SENSE in the context of this universe and would be forced as hell to desperately get people to root for the dumb monkey.

Godzilla's abilities at the end of KOTM were circumstantial, meaning things have to happen to allow him to use it. With the exception of his Atomic Breath, I don't think Godzilla is gonna have access to any powers in his fight with King Kong.

And attitudes like this is why I want Godzilla to lose. Godzilla has lost before and yet guys like you choose to forget it and then act like it's blasphemy when it happens again later on.

Also, no one has to be a villain for this fight to happen. Godzilla is trying to herd monsters away from humans, Kong is trying to keep his home. In essence both are in the right and the wrong. It's a grey area.

I assure you that there are some people here, like Living Corpse, who have been on this forum back before you even realized it existed. (Judging by your join dates, of course.) You advocating for him to leave and find a better forum leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He's absolutely right about what he said about attitudes like this ruining the fun of seeing two titans duke it out.

I’d really prefer for Godzilla to win. At this point he’s arguably more of a hero than Kong (saves the world at least twice, four times if you count the comics and perhaps more over the millions of years of his existence while Kong has sat on his island), and to be frank the underdog miraculously winning has become a cliche by this point; audiences almost always expect the underdog to pull off a win against seemingly insurmountable odds. Turning that on it’s head and having Godzilla win anyways would be fun, though Kong will definitely put up a good fight before he goes down.
