Godzilla and King Kong are doing more destruction than just crushing buildings, they're taking on language itself.
How do you say Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire? Godzilla “ex” Kong, like “deus ex machina”—the Godzilla from the machine? Godzilla/Kong? Godzilla cross Kong? Godzilla and Kong? Does anyone ever actually even bother saying The New Empire at all? It turns out all of these questions are moot, because the “proper” way to say the name is none of these. In fact, you’re not supposed to acknowledge the “x” at all.
Hunter x Hunter, Gun x Sword, Service x Service, Spy x Family, for example, all use their “x” for aesthetic purposes rather than pronunciation ones, and are said as if the letter isn’t there at all. Given The New Empire’s roots in Japanese kaiju media, aping this stylization would make a lot of sense as an homage! On the other, if I say “Godzilla Kong” out loud to myself I want to bash my head into a wall until I cannot say it, or anything else, out loud ever again.
