Has anybody been watching Monarch so far, and have any thoughts on the series so far. I’ve enjoyed the moments where the muto are around, but I’m not entirely sold on the whole shadow organisation tied up with the muto and just generally being kind of generically secretive. I enjoy it enough to see the season out before forming any big opinions, but I am interested on what others have thought so far.

I’ve watched all available episodes so far and whilst I’m hoping that something good will become of the show, so far it seems to suffer from the same thing almost every other show does these days: insert a few titans here and there or something else relating to them and fill the rest of the time with often pointless drama…I’m storming off, but oh we’re on a ship, didn’t make it far, …I’m not going with you, j/k ofc I am, …why aren’t you talking to me/why aren’t YOU returning my calls/dead silence etc
For example the ‘past’ scenes with grandmother, have shown her to be a much more likeable character than any of the three main characters in the ‘present’.
I did like the tune from ep2 credits enough to record it, as I couldn’t find it in OST, so there’s that
The people conflict definitely seems forced for effect, and consequently doesn’t really hit the mark unfortunately. I agree with you on the grandmother, as she seems to be the closest to an actual person compared to the stereotypical military men she’s surrounded by that could have been pulled from any other similar series.
I’m with you. I’ve seen the season so far and will watch it through being enough of a fan of the (first two Godzilla) films.
It seems they’ve struggled to create a premise for this show. The general idea of linking two stories from the beginning and present of Monarch is good, and I get the sense that they’ve got some sort of ending they’ve decided they want to get to, but they’re not really clear on why this story should be told with these characters.
I’m kinda hopeful though.
Godzilla is a lot of fun the few times he’s turned up so far, I’m hopeful that there will be more screentime for him as the series progresses, as the few short scenes we’ve gotten just make me really want another monster movie instead of the series we got.
Yea. “Godzilla: Origins” or something telling the story of the grandmother more or less could have worked as a film maybe.
I just got caught up. It’s a decent binge, but I am pulling my phone out, so it’s not as engaging as I’d like.
That’s fair, I am doing my same in parts. The series could definitely benefit from less people and more kaiju.
