This is just a mess, and I hate that they can't call him King Kong in the new movies.

Maybe Kong abdicated his throne and that's why he cannot be called "King" Kong anymore?

Or maybe the government of Skull Island switched from a constitutional monarchy to a republic and there's a President Kong out there somewhere.
