  • It's Godzilla week and I finally caught up on Monarch: Legacy of Monsters the Apple TV+. MonsterVerse series Here is what I thought on the first 4 episodes.
    PREMISE WIKIPEDIA
    Following the epic battle between Godzilla and the MUTOs that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, two siblings, following in their father's footsteps, uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw, taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga - spanning three generations - reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

    Anybody saying they’re enjoying this show is either lying or not actually watching the show.
    There are no monsters, and the posters/ads that feature Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell as if they’re the main characters are a lie… they’re barely in the show.
    Should be focusing on the Wyatt Russell, Anders Holm Trio with flash forwards to Kurt Russell.

    I realy like it. Haven’t seen Minus One yet, but as far as Monsterverse content go, I think this film has the best characters and most world-building of the franchise so far. I also love the vintage 50s stuff, and the dynamic of the group is interesting. I hope it stays this good. Not great, but still better than I expected.

If I’m being honest, monsterverse doesn’t call to me as much as the Toho Godzilla films… so I dunno if I’ll be watching this show anytime soon given I’m already watching and reading enough stuff as it is…

    Just watched the first three episodes and I'm really digging it. I actually like that is is a bit of a slow burn. It is a prequel and sequel to Kong Skull Island and Godzilla 2014 respectively, and you can really feel that in the tone. The last two movies were starting to get a bit more cartoony (and some really goofy shots in the new trailer for G x K), but this series goes back to the vibe of the first two movies and those are definitely my favorite in this universe. So I'm really pleased with it so far and curious to see where it will go to!

    Monarch has been a lot of fun, but man older Shaw (as well as Tim) are really carrying the 2015 story hard, I'm having a hard time caring for the other 2015 main characters (Ep. 4 really didn't need that big chunk of story surrounding the art show imo; I much rather would have had the "suspense" of the story be delayed by more of the older Monarch storyline). Whereas the older timeline characters all have kept my attention and I find them very interesting (Shaw, Randa, Keiko).

      The worst character imo is Kiersey Clemons, followed by Ren Watabe Anna Sawai Unfortunately they seem to be the core cast. Kurt and Wyatt Russel are absolutely fantastic and really carrying the show. The rest of the cast is pretty good too, to be honest. Really those core 3 are bringing the show down hard.

    while i definitely understand and even agree with some of the criticisms, i think that despite them, the show is already great. and moreover, it’s been great since the first episode. i dig the interweaving storylines and timelines. i think it’s been pretty masterfully made. the leads are a bit weak and linger on melodrama too much
    i think they marketed godzilla a bit too much, but “monarch: legacy of monsters” is in no way a godzilla show. i don’t expect to see him, but rather the organization and its characters and the monsters (many more than just godzilla) they follow. the show is really working for me. favorite thing on television right now

  • @SlivkoverseStories
    @SlivkoverseStories 10 месяцев назад +1

    I mean... I felt like this review was a little more positive than what the series deserves to get currently. This series should have just focused on the timeline of the past, its what makes sense and then finish it in the more recent times... maybe. Keiko in the first episodes should not have any business acting that way. In a society like Japan in those times, you have no business in acting like a feminist even if you are tough that doesn't make sense its not accurate. Episode 5 went hard again with the woke things we kinda expect from Hollywood these days... and I'm pretty sure they will keep going with these messages untill the end It really dissapointed me that they just had to kill a bit of the immersion with that one, this is a fictional reality but its too focused on reality, kinda paradoxical but thats just hollywood these days, they cant make things outside reality anymore.
    Like I said it kinda disappointed me, I felt like I was in the honeymoon phase in episode 1 and 2 maybe 3... but then... 4 and 5 kinda killed the idea for me. The female protagonist, I like how she has PTSD and that the world shows context clues that we are living in a world where big monsters exist. But she is so annoying in the beggining and spiteful you cant really relate that well with her, or make her likeable unfortunatly. The only likeable character so far are the Male protagonist's Mom and Colonel Shaw, past and present versions I think, maybe randa in the past I kinda like him as well because he is playing the role I can kinda see culminating in Kong Skull Island... Like I said this show should have just focused on the past with Randa, Keiko and Shaw, and rethinking how Keiko should act considering the context, everything else should be fine. I guess it would be costly because I assume these guys would be jumping from different places and adding new monsters as they go along the budget would need to be a bit bigger for that to be possible. Still I have to say the show was a lot more interesting in the past flashbacks than the present. Also they still like to ridicule the white guy huh? The one who rolls with the french lady. He seems cool... why is he that type of character no one takes seriously? Come on I can already see these things and honestly I hope Im not the only one. Oh and the token black girl is the hacker? Nothing wrong with that but of course they had to make her a major character that dated an Asian man... things just dont feel really like... real? If you are making stuff based on reality at least make something that feels like its real...
    Anyway hope it makes sense and not leave room for misinterpretations and I get my point across in a civilized way.

Also that bit when she says "dont believe everything you see on the news" when it comes to FUCKING GODZILLA AND A MUTO IN HAWAII DUKING IT OUT AND BEING ALL OVER THE NEWS. Like... I get youre not trying to scare the kids but they shouldnt be at school anyways with this sort of crisis going on so big whoopie fucking do.

    I never got into The Last Airbender, so I didn't list it and never saw Daredevil when it was on Netflix or the Ben Affleck one, so Daredevil: Born Again isn't on my radar. Penguin, Venom 3, Madame Web, Echo, Mean Girls, Kraven the Hunter, The Skeleton Crew, and Alien: Romulus doesn't interest me either. I'll check them out if the reviews are good.
    My Top 5 Favorites From 2023
    1. Loki S2 (not as good as S1 but still love it!)
    2. Air
    3. BlackBerry
    4. Oppenheimer
    5. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
    Take note, I haven't seen Poor Things and The Holdovers yet. They both have high scores on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. Heck, I haven't even seen Napoleon yet. Then I read Disney doesn't want to release The Bikeriders. I did see Killers of the Flower Moon and Priscilla on the same day. While I think they're both good films, neither one would make my top 5 favorites of this year.
    Maybe it's a NY bias, but Killers of the Flower Moon is regarded the best film of 2023 according to the New York Times and The New Yorker? I think the movie is well made but I actually prefer Oppenheimer more and I'm a bigger Scorsese fan than Nolan fan. I wouldn't be mad if Flower Moon won Best Pic but I rank it between the 10-12 range among my Scorsese favorites. Still better than Gangs of New York. Cameron Diaz was a complete miscast for that film.
    I enjoyed Gen V and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon but I wouldn't put either of them in my top 10 of this year. I haven't been into TWD since 2016 which is why the spinoff show with Rick and Michonne next year doesn't interest me. Gen V is CW The Boys meets Saved By The Bell: The College Years. Some good stuff but I still prefer the flagship series. Most spinoffs are extra dressing we don't need or never asked for. If they did a spinoff to Stranger Things and Cobra Kai, I probably wouldn't watch it. I'll watch Agatha because I always liked Kathryn Hahn.
    *Godzilla* *Minus* *One*
    There's a great chance if I see Godzilla Minus One, it will make my top 5 for 2023. But since it's a foreign film with subtitles, I probably wouldn't put it above Loki S2 and Air since I tend to listen to my movies and shows at home while I surf the web. I'm such a huge Michael Jordan fan and Loki fan. I would love it if -1 shocks the Oscars and wins Best Pic. I've read it's like a Godzilla film if it was directed by Steven Spielberg.
    Godzilla Minus One
    Rotten Tomatoes: 96%
    IMDb: 8.4 (went up from 7.9)
    All the highest grossing Godzilla movies are the American ones. The highest grossing for a Japanese Godzilla movie is Shin Godzilla in 2016 at $78M worldwide. The 1998 Zilla still made more at $379M. Minus One should cross $100M easily with it's shoestring budget of $15M. I think it will cross $200M. Not bad for a foreign film with subtitles.
    They say Godzilla is the oldest running movie franchise. That's not true. King Kong is older by 21 years. The difference is Kong doesn't have a movie every decade like Godzilla and James Bond do. Older than King Kong is Sherlock Holmes. There was a Sherlock movie back in 1914 and a minute long one back in 1900.
    I would love if a Godzilla movie wins an Academy Award for Best Picture. Shock the world! Be such a boon for the Godzilla/kaiju community. First ever Japanese film to win Best Pic. Then the James Bond franchise should try to aim for one. Make a truly, truly great Bond film that can rank up there with The Godfather I and II. James Bond and Godzilla have been around 61 to 69 years. Bout damn time they start winning Oscars.
    One of Jaby Koay's favorite movies is The Fall (2006)? Good taste, brother 🇵🇭. I have closer taste to Jaby over his younger brother, Greg Alba, since I'm closer to age to Jaby. The Fall is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. No CGI. Tarsem took 4 years to make that film using real locations. The scene with the elephant swimming was gorgeous. And it has such a sweet story and ending underneath all that beauty.

    Still undecided which of my favorite movies and TV shows will be on my iPhone SE (2022), Google Pixel 3, and seldom used Essential PH-1 which I should revive again. I have thousands of videos uploaded on three of my Google Photos accounts.
    I generally don't need to carry all my favs on my phones. Pixel 3 is probably best for Game of Thrones though. It has the best internal audio quality when using my Sony WH1000XM4 for it. I'll probably put GOT, HOT D, Andor, and The Boys on that.
    Yay! I get to wear my Targaryen sigil hat from New Era again. It's the perfect hat for me. And I'll wear my black Daemon Targaryen hoodie from RedBubble. We got trailers to Furiosa, The Boys S4, and HOT D S2 in a span of 36 hours.. F yeah!
    My favorite silver blonde incestuous family is back! More incest! Jaime fookin' Lannister. Yeah, Jaime was definitely fookin' a Lannister like Daemon is fookin' his niece.
    The three Georges: Lucas, Martin, and Miller. All three Georges have sick minds. Lucas had Leia kissing Luke. Martin loves incest the most. Miller has bizarre shit in his Mad Max films like obese women getting milked.
    Warner Bros. is coming in hot 🔥 for 2024...
    House of the Dragon S2
    Dune: Part Two
    Joker: Folie à Deux
    Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
    Penguin (one I'm only mildly curious about)
    Alto Knights (think Goodfellas)
    Beetlejuice 2
    Twisters
    The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
    Max > Disney+
    Warner Bros. >> Disney
    While Warner Bros.' superhero films flopped this year (Shazam 2, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and likely Aquaman 2), they did have the highest grossing film of this year in Barbie.
    Elvis, HOT D S1, and The Batman were three of my top 5 favorites from 2022. Warner Bros. is generally more consistent than Disney. Max is more worth it than Disney+. They have far better variety in genres.
    The most anticipated film of 2025 will come from Warner Bros. as well: The Batman 2 🦇

    I stopped watching midway through episode 2. It was boring and did not care about any of these characters.

    It isn't just that we aren't interested because we don't know the characters, it's also the fact that they are all so bitchy, initially, and just plain unlikeable. I had no idea what the Son saw in May, the Black teenage computer whiz living in Japan of all places -- she's surly and rude and the last person you'd want to be stuck on a deserted island with (well, her and the rest of the primary young cast). Until the 4th episode, where they show us more about who the Son really is, and how charming and personable and, I dare say, sexy, May can be. Then I'm like, OK, this makes more sense now. Just one question: Why the HECK didn't you show us this FIRST???

    One thing that disappointed me in monarch was the LGBTQIA nonsense. There is no need to have wokeness in Godzilla.

    This show Must sort out it's pacing and STOP the awful flash backs with the terrible young actors,Kurt and his son playing the younger self in the acceptable flash backs holds the show together,the effects are fantastic but because the show has got 3 instantly forgettable bad young actors your left wishing better actors and script were present, this has potential but is frustrating
