Talk:Godzilla vs. Kong/@comment-1418880-20151020223553/@comment-25285745-20151020231601

A team-up is not "unrealistic" or "cheesy." People are just throwing out the word "unrealistic" whenever they argue against something they don't want to happen. The film can still be serious if Kong and Godzilla join forces. They just need a credible reason to work together in the face of some huge threat. Kong and Godzilla will definitely meet as enemies and probably never like each other, but they're both smart enough to know when it's a good idea to put aside their differences when something threatens them both.

There were never any official reports stating this was a prequel to Kong 2005. People just assumed it was because it featured Kong and was set on Skull Island. Actual interviews with the cast and crew and Legendary's official press releases indicate that the film is set prior to the events of Godzilla 2014.
