Am I the only one who remembers the scene in the original film where
Kong climbs a building, reaches in through a window, grabs a woman
who bears a slight resemblence to Ann, discovers it isn't her, and
lets her fall to the pavement below? He also wrecks an elevated train
and had to have killed scores of innocent people. How do you
figure "no one really suffers... except the 'big ape' and a few
pilots?" His rampage in the city wouldn't had happened had he not
been imported, and the additional deaths I mention wouldn't have
happened.

I maintain that King Kong is a monster, both by the definition of
monster as it appears in any dictionary, and also because of his
rampages against humanity. He kills natives on Skull Island, before
he is gassed, and I would assume it wasn't the first time he had gone
on such rampages. The enormous wall and gate weren't there just for
show, they were there to contain a dangerous beast. Kong is naturally
inclined to kill, being a primordal beast, and it is rather
remarkable that we tend to forget, or at least minimize that fact,
because of the film's ending.
