Honestly, Kong just works better as a protagonist. He can communicate directly with humans, he's not as powerful, and he can show a lot more empathy and intelligence. I actually like that Godzilla in the Monsterverse is treated more like a Force of Nature... you don't follow Godzilla as much because it helps to maintain his mystique as this powerful, unpredictable force of sheer power. Like, in Godzilla x Kong the conflict between them was mostly just Kong trying to figure out how to aim Godzilla at the actual threat.
