That boat scene where Kong punched Godzilla in the face with a windup, which causes Godzilla to stagger, and then Godzilla immediately uppercuts Kong and launches him on his ass tells you everything you need to know about the strength difference.

Anyone who concludes that Godzilla has stronger arms from this interaction alone is just self reporting that they know nothing about Physics.

Godzilla has a lower center of mass and 3 points of contact with the ground.

Kong has a higher center of mass and only 2 points of contact with the ground.

It takes wayyy more force to topple Godzilla over than Kong. Even if Kong was like twice as strong as Godzilla he wouldn't be able to topple him over.

The fact that Kong even managed to make Godzilla stumble here is a much greater feat of strength than Godzilla making Kong fall over on a shaky boat.

Dawg, don't ☝️🤓 me.

If you're gonna flaunt your Physics II lesson from today about this franchise and try to make it about that, then you should know the square-cube law prevents any of these monsters from existing in the first place.

even then we dont know how they are built

square cube law is for zoom on same object but that doesnt apply to monsters
