So now we've jumped from Kong has no badass feats to he only looks good when he has a weapon that isn't his. You want to pick a spot and stick to it?

Yeah, having a weapon takes away agency from him. It's not him doing it. It's the axe.

It might be excusable if there were a precedent for it, and if he made it himself, but there really isn't. And he didn't make the axe. He just found it lying around in Hollow Earth. Kong has picked up trees or boulders to use as weapons, but he was never in a fight where his entire strategy was reliant upon a weapon. The same goes for Godzilla.

This would be like if you had a film version of Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson, the boxing dream match we never could have seen in real life. In the first bout, Tyson dominates. In the second bout, Ali brings a bicycle chain to the ring as a weapon and fares better (because he's cheating). But he still loses. In the third bout, Ali knocks Tyson down with a pair of brass knuckles before Tyson says screw it, gets back up, and knocks Ali out a third time.

I consider that burial.
