As fans of the MonsterVerse await Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Apple TV+ is delivering cinematic gold in the form of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. The series acts as a prequel to movies such as Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong. It shares insight into the shady dealings of Monarch, which was initially designed to function as heroic watchdogs. However, the films hinted at how seedy the US governmental agency has been. Now, thanks to these first two episodes, it does feel like there have been a lot more conspiracies hidden in the shadows than meets the eye.Interestingly, Matt Fraction, Chris Black and the rest of the Legacy of Monsters creative team don’t rely on linear storytelling to detail the unseen history of the franchise. Instead, the show details Monarch’s history and what the organization did in the modern era by jumping around to various timelines. It can get confusing at times, but once it’s unpacked, it sets in motion a series of events that paint Monarch as G-Men not to be trusted, regardless of the time period. It further reiterates that they didn’t handle the existence of these monsters well, at all.The second episode, “Departure,” brings to light exactly how a US soldier, Lee Shaw (Wyatt Russell), came to work with the cryptozoologist, Bill Randa, and a Japanese scientist, Keiko Miura. Here, Lee accompanies Keiko on a job in the Philippines to investigate radiation anomalies. They meet Bill as a stranger in the jungle, who quickly realizes his work tracking ion signatures syncs up with Keiko’s readings. Keiko sends Lee away, eager to explore the island and learn more about the creatures that may exist. As expected, Lee’s skeptical but he leaves and gives the duo their leeway.Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Matt Shakman Details the Series’ Human Heart
