Can Monarch Legacy of Monsters Solve Godzilla's Human Problem?
Ойын-сауық
Shows and movies featuring Godzilla have always had a little bit of a human problem. Can the new Apple TV+ series help break the monsterverse's human curse? We sat down with Chris Black and Hawkeye creator Matt Fraction to discuss the human element in their upcoming show.
Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell star alongside Kiersey Clemmons, Anna Sawai, Ren Watabe, Joe Tippet, Anders Holm, Mari Yamamoto and more in this mysterious kaiji-filled adventure. Not only does the series showcase the origins of Monarch, but gives us a glimpse at the start of the Randa family and how their story is intertwined with the secret organization.
Will Cate and Kentaro Randa be able to unravel the mystery behind their father's disappearance? And, more importantly, will Monarch: Legacy of Monsters be able to solve the monsterverse's human problem? We'll find out on November 17th when the series premieres on Apple TV+.

The 50’s flashback storyline is solid. The 2015 lovers storyline is brutal, painfully brutal.

Godzilla Minus One has an incredible, emotional human story. Can't wait to see it again over here in the US .

Lots of Godzilla Toho movies have great fun human characters but all in all the movies are more about the Monsters.

Godzilla Minus One story line and acting make Monarch L.O.M. look like a bad B movie.
It's the same lesson Stephen Spielberg (accidentally) learned shooting Jaws. Your monster is SO much more powerful when it's just the idea and impressions for much of the story.

And Spielberg is overrated
Well, if you don't care about the story, why not just wait until the "all godzilla scenes" compilations that will pop up on youtube? If the human characters are too shallow like in GvK people complain, if they're the focus people also complain

It's hard to keep an adventure show like this going at a high level. The first two episodes were fun though, so fingers crossed...
Nobody is watching any Godzilla film for the humans
Probably the best thing about this show is that we finally get to get an idea about what life in the monsteverse is like post Godzilla 2014

The human elements kill the show quickly. The asian girl so far is pretty insufferable. So far, I'm not impressed at all.

This is the same issue ive been having with Transformers movies over and over, u could watch some of these movies and remove the human scenes and still would be a better movie, also been waiting for a Transformers movie made just with Transformers

The problem with those transformers films is that they treated the autobot and decepticon as movie props, visual noise and set pieces. They weren’t characters at all. In fact they wasted the autobot and decepticon in those Michael bay films in terms of personalities, back-story and motivation.

Human problem his answer is its not a monster story.....SMH he completely missed the point.
Can we not pretend like GVK became so goofy coz they added more screentime & emphasis on the monsters? And settled for shallow characters & fast pacing? Think this series is giving us much more quality & decent screenwriting, better than the past few movies.

Nope. GVK was awesome. The movies are about the monsters and the TV can be about the humans.
Godzilla (2014) had the best human characters. They fit naturally with the world and their scenes were compelling. Sure hope Dr. Serizawa makes an appearance in this show.

Walter White was the best part of the human side of the story. After that it was downhill.
Been crap so far. Wish I’d watched this before subbing and watching it.
We're making a tv show and we have to keep the budget in check: make it more about the boring stuff
Don’t have a problem with the humans of this franchise.
This will be the next game of thrones epic level show
There is no human problem because such movies need human leads for the audience to better understand and emphasize with the story
Sadly some godzilla fans just want a 2 hour fight scene as we can see in the comments. Sadly nothing will please those ones
The show creator is blatantly saying they want to make a show about a family, and secrets of that family. Make a drama, and not rely on an established fan base for kaiju. This is just the Halo series all over again.

this drama is connected with monarch and legacy monsters that monarch has discovered .
Nah this show fire so far y’all trippin
Why did you did not show Godzilla that's not 🚫
The first two episodes are boring, the charactes are not interesting, they do not connect with the audience. The young Asian lady is insufferably, their Randa family story line is flat, its like watching drama series. It's another classical bait and switch. They should just call the series Monarch: legacy of Randa.
