TV Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Maybe someone went back in time and frayed the rope.
 
2.8 - Kentaro is a BABY STEALER. I felt bad for Titan X. I bet Godzilla wouldn't have beat her up if he'd known the truth.

Cate and May are never going to smooch at this rate.
 
I hope Titan X survives, but now she will be pissed and hate Cate. PROBABLY.

Kentaro is kind of a jerk. I don't understand who Amber Midthunder is working with, I thought that guy was APEX.
 
I guess the New Zealander guy was secretly working for her all along whiile freelancing with Apex. He's dead now so we probably won't find out more about him!
 
2.9 - The Billy flashbacks were sad.

Amber Midthunder is cute but evil so I'd probably help her with her cute evil scheme.
 
It's cool they found the main rift.

Obviously Amber Midthunder is evil but she won't kill Kong. NOT HAPPENING.
 
He's in two movies set after this season so it seems unlikely.
 
2.10 - Good finale. Kong is a nice boy who wouldn't harm an egg. It was nice when Cate got to touch Titan X's tentacle and when Lee and Keiko said goodbye to young Lee. Kentaro is an idiot.

May and Cate are never going to smooch, are they.

I'm going to predict August 2028 for the next season.
 
I like the finale. Lots of exciting fighting and also some sadness of young Lee.

MAY AND CATE WILL SMOOCH, IT WILL HAPPEN.

Volcano titan looked great.
 
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) - Thought I'd watch this because it's on Amazon. It's...very silly. Like, even sillier than Godzilla V Kong, which is fine since I liked how silly that was...but sadly this isn't as good or fun as that one. I know the human stuff in Monarch can be a bit soap opera and melodramatic, but at least the characters feel like people and you do care about them a bit (well, I do anyway.) This does absolutely NO character work. Rebecca Hall's realationship with her daughter is meant to be the haert of it, but they hardly have any moments together so it's impossibly to care. The comic relief conspiracy theory podcaster guy from GVK returns (because in movies, conspiracy theory podcasters are harmless and know THE TRUTH) and contributs ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING to the movie. LIke there's literally no reason they bring him along. Then you have Dan Steven as a secon comic relief character: a quirky monkey vet who flies a spaceship that plays his own theme music (it's all a bit Star Lord.) And yeah, he at least has a few funny moments since Dan Stevens is great at over the top ridiculousness, but he's barely a character either. I didn't feel engaged until amost an hour in when there's a dialogue-free scene betwee Kong and the evil monkey which is far more compelling than any of the human scenes. Godzilla also doesn't get much to do: in the first half he'll appear for like a few seconds doing something random, it'll cut to a generic Monarch guy going "Godzilla is going to eat that pink stuff!" then Godzilla will eat some pink stuff. It's all so he can turn pink which makes him stronger, I guess? Then, despite the previous movie being all about Kong and Godzilla making friends, he attacks Kong when Kong asks for help and they destroy the Egyptian pyramids. What an asshole! Then Mothra shows up to tell Godzilla to be nice because there was a prophecy that said Mothra would have to do that one day, or something. I'm not saying it doesn't have fun stuff, though! That Godzilla/Kong fight IS fun, with Godzilla fucking suplexing Kong at one point, even though it's a total retread of the previous movie. There's a bit where Kong uses a Baby Kong as a weapon to beat up bad monkeys, which is hilarious. The final fight in Rio (where probably a million people must have die but we don't see any of them so it's fine!) is fun. But man there's so much crappy exposition and randomness to ge through before you get the fun parts.
