There's no "cheating" in a kaiju fight, that's why it's stupid. There's no rules, it's not a boxing match, it's a dumb comparison.

Again, Kong's natural intelligence (one of his natural weapons!) and abilities allowing him to use tools is something they've really leaned into in these movies. Did you pay attention at all?

Yes. That "natural intelligence" is an excuse to say that Kong is outclassed and needs a booster to be able to fight with better monsters than himself. Everyone else is biting, clawing, punching, kicking, or using internal weapons like ice or flame breath. Kong is using an external weapon that he found somewhere -- probably fashioned by an ape more intelligent than himself. Maybe we'll find out in the next film that Suko's grandmother was the one who fashioned that axe.
