Another Look At That Godzilla-Adjacent TV Show
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters comes to AppleTV+ in one month, and we’ll all get to see how much Godzilla is actually in the show. Is he only going to appear in the first episode? Is he going to be a co-star? A cameo? What’s the Rodan quota? Anyway, the show looks good and I’ll definitely watch, and here’s another trailer to start your Monday.
Like I said, the show looks great. The CGI looks top notch, possibly because they already had access to the Godzilla computer models from the movies. That’s a great way to think. So we’ll see how it goes. Will it live up to any previous Godzilla TV adaptation? Like that cartoon from the 1990s that featured the U.S. version of Godzilla? Perhaps it will be even better than that.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters comes to streaming on Nov. 17.

Buncha Godzilla Stuff Incoming
Godzilla is great. I’ve been loving Godzilla since I was a little kid, so who doesn’t love new Godzilla movies? We’ve got a Godzilla vs. Kong sequel on its way to the big screen, but this post is not about that movie. Instead, we’ve got a trailer for Godzilla: Minus One, made by Toho in Japan!
Damn, that looks cool. I need to watch those modern Toho Godzilla movies. They have given the big guy a great design and this movie looks like so much fun! I love the parts where we get up-close scenes of Godzilla’s feet walking among and upon the people. It’s funny and terrifying.
Godzilla: Minus One is coming to Japan on Dec. 1!
Meanwhile, coming to the rest of the world is a Monarch TV show. Based on the SHIELD-esque agency that monitors giant monsters, Monarch looks like it’s going to be to monster movies what The Walking Dead is to zombie movies: a show about the people living and surviving in the classic movie genre. And they seem to be putting a lot of money into using movie Godzilla to his full effect.
A TV show with movie-quality Godzilla stomping around? Heck yeah! Sounds like fun. What will the actual episodes be about? I don’t know. Will Godzilla feature in every episode? Probably not. Will we finally get Anguirus, my favorite monster? I sure hope so!
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is coming to AppleTV+ on Nov. 17.
