Director Ishirô Honda wasn't enthusiastic about King Kong fighting Godzilla, calling it a stupid idea. Toho pushed for it, mandating the monsters be made "as funny as possible", an approach screenwriter Shin'ichi Sekizawa and special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya embraced. While Honda initially disagreed, he and Sekizawa decided to incorporate a satirical element about television and corporate advertising into the script, stating, "Mr. Sekizawa satirized social conditions well. That was his specialty". Honda stated, "The reason I showed the monster battle through the prism of a ratings war was to depict the reality of the times" elaborating that, "People were making a big deal out of ratings, but my own view of TV shows was that they did not take the viewer seriously, that they took the audience for granted, so I decided to show that through my movie."
