I feel the main problem is this: There are as many as 300 versions of Ramayana. Versions of Ramayana - Wikipedia
As we all know, there is no original scripture or recordings of any events that happened in the mythological epic. The story of Lord Rama, his clan & his accomplishments were passed on from person to person, generation to generations as stories & songs, whose original composer is said to be Valmiki. Now we are in a generation to question the things that they say that happened in Ramayana, such as an entire army of monkey-men, Hanuman being able to grow in size and fly and carry mountains, Ravana having 10 heads & owning a pushpaka vimana (flying chariot) etc. People have come up with their own version of narrating stories from different standpoints. Also the versions have changed based on the region they originate from. For example, in south indian versions of Ramayana, they say that Sita was Ravana’s daughter and he kidnapped her because he did not want to see her suffering in the forest with Rama. Also, he could not tell her that he is her father because he was the one who abandoned her when a soothsayer predicted that she would bring destruction to Lanka. After reading multiple versions of Ramayana, one would understand a basic fact that Lord Rama was a noble & wise King in India and Ravana was a fearsome one, yet a successful King of Lanka.
