@The King : I have to disagree the original Kong was a very aggressive individual, and appeared to be based on the old gorilla myths from Africa as a savage and violent beast. In the original film Kong outright destroyed, stomped, and brutally mauled the natives when getting past the gate. Also in a book I've read based on the original film Kong launches an unprovoked attack on a herd of dinosaurs (they were either Triceratops or Styracosaurus) when they were grazing near his cliff lair. In my view Kong in the original film was only sympathetic by being the last of his kind and being taken from his home to a place where he didn't belong. In a film Kong could still be a sympathetic character in that he is alone and wants to go back to Skull Island if taken from there. But, he can still have the same violent and antisocial behavior the original had. I'm not saying make Kong an outright villain like King Ghidorah or Gigan, but show him as the more aggressive and dangerous threat because of his intelligence and lack of the social behaviors that many primate communities have.
