Summary. Kong and Godzilla team up against a new ape Titan threat; Skar King, a powerful villain, dominates with his ability to control others. Skar King, an original Monsterverse creation, adds depth to the narrative with his backstory and reign of terror in the Hollow Earth.
In his history, in fact, Godzilla has been both the villain and the hero. The King of the Monsters has been shown to have a certain degree of compassion for humanity, seeing their flaws and potential. In these traits, he saw a species worthy of protection and fought his 15 enemies numerous times to ensure our survival.
As a result, in the contemporary MonsterVerse films, Godzilla and Kong have a deep-seated rivalry that stretches back generations for both their species.
Kong is portrayed as a tragic and sympathetic animal and lives a very solitary and difficult existence, constantly being attacked by the ferocious giant creatures that live on Skull Island.
In the film, Kong clashes with Godzilla after humans move the ape from Skull Island to the Hollow Earth, homeworld of the monsters known as "Titans", to retrieve a power source for a secret weapon intended to stop Godzilla's mysterious attacks.
Producer Alex Garcia gave broad hints as to the plot of the film and said that neither Godzilla or Kong are inherently good or evil. Rather, they are fighting for what motivates them.
Summary. Godzilla is the clear winner in the battles against Kong, showcasing his superior power and invincibility. Despite losing the fights, Kong still plays a crucial role in the story, defeating Mechagodzilla and earning the title of "King Kong".
Anguirus was reintroduced in Destroy All Monsters as an ally and best friend of Godzilla living with him on Monsterland, a role that Anguirus maintained throughout Godzilla vs. Gigan, Godzilla vs. Megalon, and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.
Godzilla roars in acknowledgement and respect for Kong, seeing him as an equal and a friend (same with Kong respecting Godzilla as an equal and a friend) before returning to the sea and disappearing beneath the waves as Kong and the gathered humans watch on, safe in the knowledge that the world is finally at peace.
Instead, Godzilla acknowledged Kong as an equal and he returned to the sea. While it's impossible to know for sure what's in the hearts and minds of giant monsters, Kong apparently earned Godzilla's respect so the lizard left him alone.
Ghidorah is Godzilla's greatest foe, and it isn't close. This alien creature sports three deadly serpent-like heads, it can fly, and it's capable of withstanding everything Godzilla can throw at it. Though Godzilla manages to win in the end, it's usually by the closest of margins.
After absorbing excessive amounts of radiation, Godzilla's powers were boosted to new heights. With his enhanced strength also came a surprising side effect, turning Godzilla's usual blue glow when he is powering up into a vibrant pink.
The rivalry between Godzilla and King Kong is well noted within their established mythos, including and especially the current MonsterVerse canon, but there's one kaiju Godzilla hates far more than Kong (or any other Titan, for that matter): King Ghidorah - and there's only one reason as to why.
However, it makes no special effort to protect human life or property and will turn against its human allies on a whim. It is not motivated to attack by predatory instinct; it does not eat people and instead sustains itself on nuclear radiation and an omnivorous diet especially cetaceans and large fish.
Ultimately, Godzilla is male in the Japanese and American films, although Emmerich's Godzilla might have been female, and there's nothing really stopping further reboots or remakes from making the monster female.
Dagon, also known to the Japanese as Raijin (雷神 Raijin), was a Titan who appeared in Godzilla: Lord of the Galaxy. He is the father of Godzilla and a partner of Rozan. Dagon was an ancient Titan that was awakened in 1954 during nuclear tests.
Wiz: Both are extremely resistant and very durable, because both have resisted attacks that could make pieces to almost anyone, but just as in force, Godzilla wins in this aspect, because like the Hulk, this resistance and durability this force bonded with his wrath.
For Wingard, the reason that Godzilla ultimately wins the cinematic battle over Kong though is all about the experimental style and scope of the Toho monster movies.
Godzilla's strength has been officially confirmed to be greater than Superman's, as shown in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 preview. This feat of strength proves that Godzilla can easily defeat other Kryptonians, such as Supergirl and General Zod.
However, when Kong came along, he basically ensured that they would leave and attack them. After Godzilla inevitably found this out, he became pissed that Kong let them all out onto the surface world, and dared to wake him up for help right after, leading him to attack Kong.
In the 1954 film, Godzilla is portrayed as a tragic monster who lashed out at humanity by destroying any boats that he encountered and later rampaging across and destroying Tokyo in retaliation for the destruction of his home and death of his family by an American H-bomb test.
Mothra Might Be Peaceloving, But She's Indubitably Overpowered. The iconic and ancient Mothra is known for being one of the good guys in Godzilla lore. She's referred to in multiple properties as a protector of humanity. As her name suggests, Mothra is a moth, albeit one that is a behemoth in size.
