** Godzilla absolutely ''beats'' Kong to near death with nothing but sheer viciousness and brutality in the third and final round of their duel. Hell, the agonized roar Kong lets out when he gets violently thrown into a building can really tug the heart strings. Whether you're a fan of Godzilla or Kong (or even both), you will feel at least a shroud of sympathy for the giant gorilla as he's getting outmatched. There's even a zoom-in on Kong's expression after Godzilla stomps his foot on his chest, it really signifies the fact that he's in nothing but in utter '''pain'''.

** And the worst part is, Kong didn't even want to fight. All he wanted was to be left alone. He never provoked Godzilla, at least not by his own choice. Humanity brought him off the island and Godzilla couldn't let go of a grudge that he harboured from Kong's ancestors.

** Seeing Godzilla get thrown around like a ragdoll by Mechagodzilla might make you feel sorry for the big guy. Especially when Mecha-G grabs him by the head and repeatedly smashes his face into buildings almost like how a playground bully would.
** There is one scene where a down and defeated Godzilla looks upward with Mechagodzilla reflected in his eye and his expression of fear and sadness, never before seen in this iteration of Godzilla, is truly quite heartbreaking. Whatever might and ferocity that Godzilla's eyes usually reflect is just flat-out gone; for perhaps the first time in the Monsterverse, Godzilla looks like he's genuinely fearful and helpless, losing even that DefiantToTheEnd streak he had against the [=MUTOs=] and Ghidorah. At this point, he is just completely ''broken.''

* Whilst it's true that Madison can 100% take care of herself (as already shown in the previous film), it's still easy to feel sorry for her when looking at her relationships with either of her parents have become, especially in this film's novelization which expands on the current state of [[MyBelovedSmother her and Mark's relationship]]. One of Madison's parents was a genocidal ManipulativeBitch who made the poor girl complicit in crimes against humanity, and the other parent that she's left with not only refuses to have any faith in her but he prioritizes [[ObsessivelyNormal appearing normal]] and wallowing in his own insecurities over considering his daughter's happiness. That's surely going to cause Madison some further issues down the line, on top of her PTSD from the previous film's events.
* In the novelization, it's revealed that human civilization at large has been going back to using fossil fuels and unsustainably over-exploiting the restored environment since Godzilla sent the Titans back into hibernation. [[AesopAmnesia Apparently people NEVER DO change]].

* While it doesn't come close to justifying the crimes that he helps the Simmons's to commit, [[BlackSheep Ren Serizawa]] in the novelization still has a pretty sad backstory to ''explain'' his actions. It turns out that Ishirō wasn't the most attentive or sensitive father to Ren, spending vast lengths of time away from home pursuing his interest in Godzilla or other Monarch-related work, while Ren just wanted his father to notice and love him yet felt like the man barely acknowledged his existence. Two major incidents of note which drove Ren to go from seeking his father's approval to raging against everything he stood for are: (1) Ren being left to organize his own mother's funeral all on his own, while Ishirō didn't even come home until two days after the funeral had passed and he only gave Ren a clipped and unsatisfactory verbal consolation, ''when Ren was just eighteen''. And (2) Ishirō's death in the previous movie: despite everything that happened between father and son, Ren ''still'' hoped as a young adult that they would reconcile one day, but then the events of ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters'' happened and any chance at reconciliation in this life was permanently ripped away from Ren.
** Ren's death scene in the novel is also [[AlasPoorVillain a lot sadder than the film version]]. Instead of being electrocuted to death, Ren is aware and helpless to do anything as the remnants of Ghidorah's mind begin [[MindReformatDeath overwriting his own]]. The last visual thought that Ren sees before his consciousness is completely obliterated is an image of his father's face, smiling at him: the same father whose love and attention Ren spent his entire life screaming for. Ren can only think, "''Dad? Daddy?''", highlighting how he never truly grew up in his heart, and then the image of Serizawa breaks apart and Ren is "gone".
