Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV+)

I’m surprised there’s no thread for this. It’s a series connected to the Legendary Godzilla universe. The first two episodes are up now.

what do you think so far?

 

First episode was fantastic. A true spiritual successor to Godzilla ‘14. It helps that the main character, Cate, immediately follows the San Francisco disaster.

It’s the direction I was wanting the MonsterVerse to go after ‘14, so I’m glad we’re getting that.

Solid performances as well. I look forward to watching episode 2 later this weekend.

 

Also, it’s worth noting that Russell’s character is taken straight from the Godzilla: Aftermath comic, so that’s neat.

 

Sweet

 

Loved both episodes.

 

Both episodes ruled

 

First episode was pretty good. Excited to watch ep 2 soon

 

I enjoyed 2 more than 1 and episode 1 was great. Love the world building

 

First episode kicked ass. Excited to watch the second tomorrow.

 

Yeah this is very cool so far

 

Didn't love the writing so far, a bit corny for me, but will keep at it.
Not sure what the whole point of the story is yet either re: Monarch itself, especially after the events in G14

 

Enjoying this for sure. I agree with a lot of the sentiment that it's nice to see some good character storylines along side all of the "monster" stuff.

 

The first 2 episodes totally retconned the Awakening comic, which is cool, I guess.

 

Um, so this is pretty awesome so far!

 

Third episode dropped early it seems?

It was good. What an ending!

 

Oh shit, thanks for the heads up.

 

Just watched the first 3. This rules. Really looking forward to more.

Have they said whether or not this show is retconning the millie bobby brown godzilla and GvsK? Or is this just taking place between the events of all of them?

 

It takes place before both of them. KOTM is in 2019.

This retcons the Awakening prequel comic, however.

 

they dropped both their Friday shows early this week due to the holiday!

 

Great to see more of that scene in the new episode. Another good one!

 

also, theyre totally setting Tim up to be Shaw's son, right?

thats what that little scene was implying, when she was like "crazy knows crazy"?

 

Family business

 

I like how they're like 2 miles from the nuke blast, yet suffer no effects/feel nothing whatsoever, hahahahaha

 

Ending monster in episode 3 looked like Murph

 

How would Grimace fare against the MUTO’s?
