Monarch - Legacy Of Monsters
Just finished watching "Monarch - Legacy of Monsters Series One" released by Warner Brothers, which aired on Apple TV +.
As Jeff H. will tell you, I am a long-time fan of the original TOHO Godzilla movies from the 1960s, 1970s. 1980s, up to the 2000s; and we have seen the new Godzilla/King Kong Monsterverse movies. Personally I think Jeff H. was extremely lucky to have married a woman who also LOVEs watching Godzilla movies too. At least I think those were tears of joy that he was crying when he discovered Imee's [his wife] cache of TOHO DVDs.
"Monarch - Legacy of Monsters"features two parallel storylines. The first, set in 2015 between the events of Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), is centered around Japanese-American Cate Randa, a former school teacher who lived through Godzilla's attack on San Francisco.
When she travels to Japan after her father's death, he discovers that he was also married to another woman and has another family he kept secret from each other.
With her half-brother Kentaro and his ex-girlfriend May Olowe-Hewitt, she searches for answers about her and Kentaro's mysterious father, and finds herself entangled with the titular organization Monarch in the process as they try to discover how their father died and what he was working on..
The second storyline is set in the past, from the 1950s to '80s, and follows Monarch's founders—rising U.S. Army soldier Lee Shaw, and Cate and Kentaro's grandparents Bill and Keiko Randa—as they make a series of discoveries about Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms [MUTOs].
The most notable actors in "Monarch - Legacy Of Monsters" is Wyatt and Kurt Russell as Lee Shaw: a former U.S. Army colonel who joins Keiko and Bill in their investigations of monsters and subsequently becomes involved with Monarch. Kurt portrays the older version of Shaw, encountered by Cate and Kentaro, while Wyatt plays the younger version, responsible for founding Monarch.
The original TOHO series of Godzilla movies and Warner Brother's Monsterverse movies do divide fans of Kaiju movies. I'm a huge fan of the original TOHO Godzilla movies, but I do like the Monsterverse movies. Since both are Kaiju movies, it's best to think of them as two different franchises, parallel universes embracing the same ideas, but with the modern franchise having more twists and turns than the original Godzilla versus King Kong movie which saw an evil Doctor Who who coldly murders his companion - I kid you not, and even ripped off Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Apple TV + has renewed "Monarch - Legacy of Monsters" for a second season, and it will be interesting to see in which direction they take the Monsterverse and add to its lore.
Strongly Recommended!
