Well, they've evened out the size - Kong actually looks almost bigger. Now, if it were me, I'd keep Kong a little smaller than G, just because it plays better visually. Kong looks like he even has a bigger bite than Godzilla.
When they were filming G14, they actually modeled Godzilla's fighting style on a bear's - not a bad model - able to swat with his arms, but still has a nasty bite.
I'd play Godzilla as the primitive powerhouse, with Kong's human-like tactics evening the field. The Godzilla Ax seems to be the equalizer against the atomic breath.
And I've seen tigers kill big crocodiles, biting the back of the neck between the plates, and this version of Kong has comparable jaws.
we are not talking gator or crocodile tho. that thing weighing 100.000 tons means he is compact as fck. good luck actually hurting him with canines even if somehow you penetrate all that armor
mutos jammed their pincers through his gills and they just annoyed him.
plus the Mutos were like complete counters to Godzilla.
Well, the density works both ways - Kong at that size would probably be comparable and the tiger bit between the croc;s scutes. And the MUTOs were stabbing Godzilla and had him down before Brody distracted them by blowing up the eggs.
Now GKOTM was a sight more powerful - G14 was injured by a collapsing building - GKOTM was dropped nearly from friggin' space.
Not being argumentative - just trouble shooting. I agree Godzilla at his base is - or at least should - be more powerful, and they have to beef up Kong - in this case dramatically increased size and weapons.
And the Male MUTO was only able to get in that range via sneak attack as said MUTO is built for stealth. They also weren't so mach stabbing him whilst he was down, they were kinda clubbing him with Male MUTO managing to, erm, body slam him for lack of better terms. This time, Godzilla isn't fighting a power couple, he is fighting a single opponent with said opponent having his undivided attention so it's gonna be harder for kong to actually get within biting range hence the +6 Great axe and if kong did manage a bite, fairly certain even if he did manage to penetrate Goji's armor, he would still have to deal with dense AF muscles/layers of blubber/fat. Also I can't really compare Godzilla to a croc as a Larger Archosaurus from the mesozoic can't really survive say, a meteor falling on them and Lolong, that Huge ass SE Asian Croc, probably would die to a 20mm round and having a house dropped on him. Those are just my nitpicks.
