Good thing he's still a badass monster and you're just...wrong.

Bringing a weapon to a hand to hand fight isn't badass, nor is making E.T. fingers with little kids. Nor is the silly old man beard. I know it's there in part to show the passage of time, but it's also there to keep him from looking as cool as Godzilla. And, to be honest, Godzilla would have looked cooler anyway. A tyrannosaurus with stegosaur spikes is almost inherently cooler than a gorilla with lion teeth. And that's pretty damn cool too. They don't have to compromise Kong's look when Godzilla already looks cooler.

Everything from their mannerisms, to their choice of friends, to their personalities, to their fighting styles is meticulously planned to say that Godzilla is A+ and Kong is B-. He may still make the honor roll but, I'm sorry, that's not a high enough grade for him. Without Kong, there would be no Godzilla.
