But you are speculating as well.
Kong was a loaner property, and more famous than their own at the time. It's obvious that they would want to put their loaner to good use.
And highly unlikely that an American company would allow a Japanese company to use their property at the time without rules in place.
Originally posted by CosmicCometI know Toho wanted Kojg to win. I don't know what led to that decision so I choose not to speculate. I do know Kong was the intended victor.

All speculation. We both know Legendary will do this shit far better than Toho.
I do enjoy these guys' reviews sometimes, annoying though they can be...
I have to disagree with Stuckmann on this and a lot of other potential opinions about the characters having little depth. Marlowe and Packward were both great characters with cool backstories, and the set pieces were a nice callback to stuff like Temple of Doom, Apocalypse Now, and the Seventies setting was cool. Overall, I liked it slightly more than Godzilla and was actually surprised at how good it was even if some of the characters were cannon fodder. Marlow and Samuel L's character made the film, and seeing Kong go to town was also cool. Its going to take a lot of effort for me to believe that he could pose a challenge to 2014 Zilla though
Originally posted by carthageNo, it isn't. Kong is a lot smarter in combat than Zilla and has impressive strength. He has decades to grow and can actually strategize in combat unlike Zilla. Kong is going to **** him up. This Zilla bs has got to stop. The guy beat the adult skull crawler with one arm and protecting the human whore in the other.

Yeah, I was annoyed with Stuckmann on this one, too. While I sort of agree that Hiddleston and Larson's characters were lacking in depth, it didn't really hurt the film because there were others, like you said, with interesting backstories and the film is just so much fun that who gives a fu#k? Hell, even Kong himself had some depth... defending his territory, saving that big animal crushed by the helicopter, and having some sort of connection to the woman, Brie Larson's character. But the film had such a fun adventure quality, I mean, goddamn the skullcrawlers scene in their bone-filled graveyard was badass.
Originally posted by tkitnaKong is the true king so if Zilla shows up he isn't king. We only have the facts and your opinion is only subjective. Intelligence and strength matter. Just wait and see.
Kong might be king of that island but Godzilla is king of the monsters. Godzilla will win unless theres tons of PIS.
Originally posted by Khazra RebornKong thinks and actually strategizes in battle. Zilla relies on instinct which won't be enough. Kong is also faster and stronger while still growing.
One thing that Kong seemingly has over Godzilla is environmental awareness, I doubt Zilla would have ever used a big boat propellar as a weapon.
