Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple+ MonsterVerse TV Series)

[MaulFan]

Even though it packed all of Godzilla's time for the episode into one space, I did really enjoy the overlap of his past and present reveals.

I have always loved giant monster reveals

Spoiler

coming out of the earth like the the Spielberg alien pod machine from War of the Worlds even if they are unrealistic I mean how stupid that the alien was buried under the streets of Newark NJ and it was not detected during construction lol

Nonetheless I still enjoy them and this episode was no different it delivered the goods on that front.

Sure it’s silly he was under that mountain but whatever he looked absolutely amazing.

Good tension build up in this episode.

Why do you think

Spoiler

that was silly? I mean of course it's silly in reality but given that this Monsterverse has established that the hollow earth exists, it's plausible that he could have been using an underground pathway beneath that ridge when Randa set off that device. BTW, my Shaw/Keiko prediction was

to happening lol...

Okay…it took me a while, but I actually hate May as a character lol.

Kurt and his son are so damn good.

The 2 Japanese women on this show are so freaking hot in their own way especially the sister.

That end creature was pretty damn nasty.

This is all obviously tying into Godzilla Xtreme Running Sports.

Just binge watched this over the weekend. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the last two episodes of season one. The Russell's are stand outs but I really like all of the character development and the balance of present day and flash backs. I think it's really well done. They also don't "overuse" the monsters, making each time one appears a pretty significant point in the story. With this and Minus One, it's a great time to be a Godzilla fan...

The Russells are the MVPs of this show. They both carry the show for me as far as the people go. My next favorite characters would be would be Keiko and Tim (nerd from Monarch).

I’m starting to like Natalia Verdugo too, she made me audibly laugh with her “Goonies 2” remark. As soon as she softened up a bit, she started becoming a good character instead of just a prop to move the story (like Kentaro, who is just kinda there).

Watched the first two episodes and have been pretty impressed so far. Like the more grounded approach, and these characters are far more interesting than anyone in the movies.

 

[jye4ever]

The only silly thing is that Monarch is run by a small group of people.

My son’s school sports committee has 50 layers of bureaucracy for crying out loud lol

This show keeps getting better. This week's episode is great.

Getting ready to step away from my work computer and give it a watch. Good to hear! Second last episode of the season, correct?

Is it? If so it’s a good lead in to the finale.

 

[LiamNeesons112]

What a great episode and season finale! I’m definitely not going to say much but, wow. Good stuff. Can’t wait for season 2.

 

[jye4ever]

Wow what a super charged emotional ending I cried 3 x

Epic kaiju battle, short but super bad ass!

I came into this with zero expectations and left fully entertained!

Actually made me pumped for the movie but I want these characters back.

The characters from GvK were so bad lol

Okay I thought I was crazy for getting all misty eyed watching a kaiju show lol. But man that was heavy!

It was just as heavy as GMO!

 

[darth dennis]

This was a pleasant surprise of a series! Loved the human characters and the Kaijus were awesome and used sparingly enough to make me savor each time they showed up. Agree that the battle was short but entertaining.

Speaking of the battle, am I mistaken or was the other Kaiju the same Ion Dragon from Episode 2 ( the one that Lee, Keiko and Bill met in the 1950s in the Philippines when they discovered the USS Lawton in the middle of a field)?

I assumed it was but didn't analyze too closely...

 

[jye4ever]

I thought it was a giant bat an awesome one at that.

 

[The Buffinator]

I thought it was a giant bat an awesome one at that.

It was definitely the same species as the one from Episode 2 but much bigger. I'm assuming it was the same one just full grown after 60+ years, much like how Kong grew between Skull Island and GvK...
