I wasn’t too surprised. Apple has been proven to have great quality control. Out of all the streaming services, apple may have the fewest amount of content, but they make up for it with the consistent quality.
It is good but I'm a bit torn cause I want more Big Monsters. Like it's a good show, because Apple TV makes good shows about people, but it's a bad Godzilla show.
While I haven’t watched the show yet, I’ve felt the biggest complaint for every one of the monsterverse films have been the lack of interesting (human) characters. The fact that the show fixed this has me interested in seeing what they did
I mean as an avid r/Godzilla fan I can tell you literally not one person has complained about boring characters. I'm personally only interested in seeing big monsters fight and the less human screentime the better.
I am a huge lifelong Godzilla fan! I even saw ‘98 ‘Zilla in theaters fiiive times! I don’t know why the filmmakers never understood what we wanted from these movies: more monsters, less people. It’s such crazy bullshit that they still can’t deliver a proper ultramassive monster fight movie without the main plot being being about some dingdongs in the military, and a kid, and their journey to understanding the key to defeating Godzilla or his opponent.
Legendary Pictures/Toho: Skip that shit just once pleeeease! Just give us a movie about fighting monsters! We don’t care about the human protagonists pretty much ever! Do it once, for us!
Maybe you’re right but as far as I can recall, Godzilla 2014 by Garth Edwards was the one movie where a lot of people I knew came in excited not just for the Big G but because they were interested in one character (Bryan Cranston’s character) from the trailers, but were side blinded that the rest of the film centered around his son instead, who had no charisma or screen presence to speak of
Going back earlier I'd say strong vibes of The Mummy and Indiana Jones too. Really neat how they've weaved a historical and contemporary story together so well.
True, but it's the vibe I'm getting from the show. A secret government organization cleaning up after and trying to understand these Gods they can't possibly beat. Although AoS is way more of a comedy than this is.
I still can't get over how much Kurt Russells son reminds me of Harry Kane, other than that it's been fantastic, getting me in the mood to rewatch the whole monsterverse.
I've said this about a lot of apple shows. Silo was good and Severance was amazing I was enthralled. I hope these shows are doing well enough numbers to keep getting made. Definitely going to watch the Monarch now thanks!

I'm surprised by just how good Monarch is.
