1. That's a BIG FUCKING HAND he touches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e5eYw-QEPI.
2. Hollow Earth is a lot bigger than Skull Island. More room to grow and I vaguely remember something about the Earth having more radiation in the past (Godzilla 1, I think) and that's why the monsters are so big.
Kong's parents were killed by the Skullcrushers, but his ancestors fought Godzillas. I think they were bigger.
It is possible Kong is still very young for it's race.
shareHis ancestors have to have been bigger. This movie made it clear that while he can give Godzilla a fight, he can't beat him. So his relatives have to have been bigger to compete with an entire race of Godzillas.
shareNot necessarily.
In the original King Kong vs Godzilla, the scientists talk about who has the advantage in a fight. They reason that Godzilla is bigger and stronger, but King Kong being a primate has a much more developed brain and therefor King Kong has the advantage.
And sure enough, King Kong wins.
We can see this somewhat in this film since Kong uses tools that seem to be crafted to fight Godzilla.
Just wait till they locate the kingdom of Seatopia somewhere in Hollow Earth. The mighty Megalon awaits Kong and Godzilla
