Even in the original 1933 film, Kong was a tragic and sympathetic character. When Kong is a villain, he is only really a villain of circumstance. In a battle between Kong and Godzilla, Kong will always be the monster humanity identifies with and roots for, he can never be an outright villain. It's not "changing the perspective," it would be changing the very essence of the character. If Kong isn't sympathetic in any way, then he's just a giant gorilla, not King Kong.
