Is The MonsterVerse A PEAK Cinematic Universe? MonsterVerse May Episode 15

[@macabrevoid]

I’m glad you are very honest about the Monsterverse. On one hand, the continuity is literally whatever you make of it. A filmmaker could change Mothra’s origin from one movie to the next or pick up a random reference form the bin of comics and make something with that. In that regard, the Monsterverse is in desperate need of a guiding hand if it wants to be Legendary’s flagship series On the other hand, it’s become a wonderful “pick your own course” buffet of Kaiju media. From fun and schlocky to adventurous and serious, the Monsterverse is a fun mystery box of Kaiju goodness where you’ll get an interesting western take on these giant monsters and seeing the filmmaker behind it’s vision in full swing, a glimpse of fun ideas that, though might not get sequels, leaves viewers feeling satisfied and like they had a fun time. It does feel like the Showa era where everyone has their own favorite film for their own reasons for how unique they are, rather than a processed tried and true formula that gets dull after a couple films. Long live the Monsterverse and I can’t wait to see what new ideas the next film maker has!

[@DMan1954]

Seems you and I are on the exact same page. I actually think the MonsterVerse is pretty weak as a cinematic universe, but very strong as a standard film series where continuity is less important. The interconnectivity between the films is often the worst part because the filmmakers refuse to care about doing it right. But the fact each film is really solid on its own makes it a super fun and refreshing series. I am also super glad we don't have a standard "MonsterVerse formula" they stick to with every entry.

[@macabrevoid]

@@DMan1954 for sure For the Monsterverse to continue, I think it needs to decide whether it’ll keep up this trend of “stand alone-esque films” that bring in different directors to create a shmorgishborg board of different films with varying levels of ideas, or if it’ll “get things straight” and lock in to create a coherent road map. Taking the middle ground with half and half will probably not be best for the long term survival of the Monsterverse, but that’s just my own opinion. I remembered when everyone was worried GxK might tank and it became #1 movie in the world, so it looks fortune favors the Monsterverse so far and we’ll just have to see how this ship sails. I think the main appeal of the monsterverse and its key to success so far has been doing new and fun ideas that audience haven’t seen before, lending even a painfully flawed movie as GxK or a stunning work like KOTM movie goer brownie points of “yeah, I liked that! I want to see more!”

[@Trapped_boi1078]

Oh hey, Macavoid I didn't know you were a Godzilla fan.

[@matteomastrodomenico1231]

​@@DMan1954 Uh, I never thought about it like that.

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

For what it is, I'm incredibly happy that the Monsterverse exists. This is my favorite version of Godzilla, and one of the most important pieces of kaiju media both to me and in general. It was the Monsterverse that got the ball rolling in bringing back Godzilla to the public eye. It was the Monsterverse that finally allowed for King Kong to have his rematch. And, on a personal note, it was the Monsterverse to allow so many, myself included, to discover and get into Godzilla and the wider Kaiju Genre, and allow for many different people to put their stamp on the kaiju genre. For all of it's flaws, inconsistencies, and blemishes, the Monsterverse has given so much in return, and I adore it because of that. Long live the king.

[@JTISREBORN]

This was a great video. Also, I hope that Michael Dougherty is given a chance to return as he did the best job at world building.

[@DMan1954]

Thanks! Me too!

[@Flash-FireCC]

Even though the Monsterverse has its ups and downs, it's still a success and doing better than most cinematic franchises which we will be grateful for. The best part is that it shows that people want more of these gigantic sized creatures and spreading the monster love to newer generations is something we all wish to see.

[@申月営無営月無営有申]

I have to give the MV its flowers on this aspect. With how goofy, stupid, and retcon heavy the MV got, it is still more coherent than the DCEU and that is impressive.

[@DMan1954]

I completely agree!

[@omegajester]

When it comes to the larger Godzilla franchise, I consider the Monsterverse movies to be around the middle of the pack. None of the films are genuinely great, but a lot of people seem to really enjoy them and that's what's really important. Despite my personal criticisms, I feel like the Monsterverse honors the character of Godzilla and they're doing a good job of bringing scores of new fans into the franchise. And for that I am grateful.

[@reptilo7099]

I would say that MV is a peak and pure cinematic universe that is filled with creative ideas, interesting world build, and unique stories. The only thing that this series has a hard time doing is keeping the continuity in tact (even tho it's not all messed up entirely like the MCU, DCEU, or Bayverse), but they still need to learn and acknowledge the lore they already created and established before the series end up like others (which they're probably aware of and working on right now). Even tho the MV has a few flaws (such as the timeline along with characters of legacy of monsters and Skull Island) but it's still a successful franchise that has so much development and a unique way of creating interesting stories for both humans and monsters. So I do hope things get back on track and that legendary plans to keep the continuity in tact in order to make it more coherent towards success in the future🔥🔥🔥.

[@rickyrackey7930]

The Monsterverse is not a perfect cinematic universe. And you know what? That’s ok. These movies, comics, and shows are made to be love letters to the Kaiju genre made by fans for fans and there is nothing wrong with that.

Hey DMan1954 what about monsterverse declassified preview in episode 15/16

[@xkongzilla7243]

It’s definitely peak cinema.. regardless of the poor screenwriting and world building just having Godzilla and King Kong the two most iconic fictional characters ever in one universe fighting and teaming up is as peak as it gets.. these guys were created 60 and 90+ years ago and the fact their still relevant is just awesome to see

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Fantastic overview of the monsterverse man! Although a flawed Showa era 2.0 I'm really looking forward to what's in store for the future of this series. It would be really cool if we could at least get Gareth, Michael or Adam to at least return to direct a episode or two of the show if they don't return for another film installment

[@dawritersroom01]

it's not a perfect cinematic universe, but out of what we have going currently, it's certainly my favourite. Amid all the continuity mess, gotta hand appreciation to Greg Keyes (writer of all novelisations from KOTM onward, and Godzilla Dominion) for doing his best to keep things connected and throwing in extra content to link characters and monsters together. He's the closest thing the MV has right now to a "guiding hand" in terms of lore

[@DMan1954]

I don't love all of his developments and retcons, but I appreciate the hell out of him for making such a solid attempt to maintain the lore of the universe and create consistency. I will never forget how exciting it was to read the King of the Monsters novelization for the first time and see direct references to Godzilla Awakening and Godzilla Aftershock.

[@Wizardmaster85_3.0]

That's an interesting question. Well, I do love this cinematic universe and it may not be as prefect as i though it was it's still a dream come true to have a universe well both godzilla and kong exits in the same universe and it happened to have a movie well they both team up to kick some titan ass is a amazing thing to have and there's is some miss steps and some major canon issues I still love this universe because this and 98 got me into this wonderful series and I'm happy for the monstervrese to exist and for it to continue for maybe a few more years but Yea it's not prefect but I love the hell out of it

[@fizzgojii8192]

[@bacd-nn2lg]

[@Wyattoons]

Honestly I’m fine with the continuity being a bit mixed here and there, and the comics basically being ignored. Not everything needs to be this massive meticulously planned out continuity like Star Wars. If I’m having fun watching the monsters fight in the theater, then I’m happy.

[@pennmckelvey8730]

To me the Monsterverse has been a great and spectacular universe so far! each film is better than the other in their fun and unique ways as the years pass bye and unlike the MCU it doesn’t really suffer from the little flaws that it has! also it saved Godzilla’s career without the MV Godzilla would have been dead long ago and we wouldn’t be celebrating anything Godzilla at all no G-Fests on November 3rd, no Shin Godzilla, no Godzilla: Minus One, no Godzilla: the ride nothing and I really really thank the MV for bringing him and other Toho kaiju thought to be long gone in time back!

[@michaelloughlin409]

to be clear, I love your videos coming here from DeadMeat a while ago. But your team Kong allegiance was definitely showing in the precis of the story so far :-)

[@DMan1954]

Thank you! I really appreciate that. I don't really think it's about Team Godzilla or Team Kong anymore. I love Kong and had fun leading up to GVK, but people took it way too seriously and it ruined the entire thing for me. However, I do strongly feel that Godzilla's character writing is really horrible in the MonsterVerse post-KOTM and so I will take shots at the writing. He can do no wrong and yet he goes to war with Kong for no reason. He is unbeatable and over powered and yet he can lose to Mechagodzilla (ignoring the novelizations and outside statements, there's no reason in the film this happens other than sloppy writing)

[@michaelloughlin409]

@@DMan1954 Agreed, Godzilla is not the same character that developed in the first 2 films. And even between GVK and GXK that grudging respect and development...out of the window.

[@billtimothyimmanuelsiraitg4166]

The Monsterverse is a unique Godzilla (and Kong) film that revolves around 2 characters and how they perceive the world alongside their journey in life. I feel like the MV is connecting the pieces together by first creating splinter films (G14 is related to MLOM but excluding Shinomura oddly, GKOTM continued on to GVK and finally GXK but still retaiins its connectivity to the GVK:The Hunted but somehow did not incude the Iwi relocation event and the part where Camazotz appear during the events of Kingdom Kong [See the pun?] itself), then reconnecting the dots and crosses by using either retconned comics or films like GKOTM to make some in-universe connection to that particular comic in tandem. Numerous attempts are made to connect them, but i feel like i love the way it is, i dont care about it crossing over to the Showa genes, id still enjoy it as it is. Including Tiamat was a special moment for me as we atleast see her before her ass gets beaten to shit by Godzilla real quick, disappointing but alright Long live the Monsterverse!

[@billtimothyimmanuelsiraitg4166]

This is just my opinion on the whole thing.

[@billtimothyimmanuelsiraitg4166]

@@DMan1954 , i do hope so. Here's what i think they could do Keep the good works as in tying up GXK's novels alongside the movie itself, remake 2014 to feature the Shinomura fighting Godzilla in his Newly-Awakened from slumber state (he does ocassionally rest, confirmed in MLOM) during the opening credit scene of the film. Add Shinomura and a little bit of Methuselah and also Behemoth on the contrary to show just how diverse the film's universe is. REMAKE the Tiamat scene to just give us an alternative scenario of where Tiamat just "Yeah no im getting the ---k outta here" type of movie story instead of DISCOMOMBULATING HER INFRONT OF THE FANS. Add MUTO Prime in GKOTM as to tie in the events between 2014-2019 And finally, of course, ADD. THE. OBSCURE. TITANS!!! Where's Amhuluk Where's Na kika?

[@elkingoh4543]

1. I want Gamera the tortoise to join this universe, especially he IS the real hero in his own movie. I would like to see he meet others Monsters like Kong and Godzilla. 2. The 3rd entry of Godzilla and Kong trilogy is focused more on Godzilla, his fear of another King Ghidorah reappearance and Humans have recreate Mecha King Ghidorah and ended up like Mechagodzilla (MKG is controlled by King Ghidorah mind again), and this is where Gamera can come to the movie to help Godzilla and fight along side Mothra and newly crowned King Kong with his Suko and Shimo. 3. If Gamera managed to get it Sequel, his story is more like fun adventure movie where he travels in Hollow Earth and fight his own iconic enemies with Kong or Mothra

Ignoring my inherent love of Kaiju, I think the Monsterverse is a genuinely fun & interesting cinematic series of film, BECAUSE of its lack of consistency rather than a strict adherence to it. It reminds of the Millennium series, where you get "GMK" followed up with the Kiryu duology THEN followed up with Final Wars. This inconsistency It ultimately provides more interesting films to me, and avoids the repititive burnout that other cinematic universes suffer from imo.

[@DMan1954]

The next movie or series have to get back to how the first few movies were shot. While the monsters and actions has seen an uptick in its overall quality and quantity, the shift to more silliness and “fun” has increased as well. The first two Godzilla/Kong movies felt very serious. Their scale and impending existence was highly regarded. The last two movies didn’t give that emotional feel as much. I thought GXK was the worst of the 4 movies personally and it wasn’t close. Godzilla and kongs screen time was great. The humans felt a bit silly and irrelevant minus helping kong. Also Godzilla powering up didn’t seem to be “needed”. They continuously downplay his atomic-breath in this monsterverse. He has done more damage to buildings and planes than he has to actual creatures it seems (when he does actually land his hit). I hope they get back to the comics in the next monarch series. Movie wise I wouldn’t mind them getting more serious or reaching into the space realm or another Toho monster. The only real original creation that did it for me was in fact the mutos

I'm a fan of the monsterverse,but since Godzilla vs Kong it has being more messy and less what i liked about the first 3 movies, i still like the movies and stuff but to me the true monsterverse will be the "original trilogy" before GvK

[@pvenger]

This video is exactly how I feel about the Monsterverse. After Gvk, I feel like things started to fall off, yeah the movie was hella fun, but Gvk barely feels connected at all to its prior movies. This is shown more obvious in Gxk, Godzilla doesn't feel the same like its 2014 and 2019 version. Despite the flaws, the Monsterverse is still endlessly entertaining, and I might sound like a Douche saying this, but I'm happy to see Adam Wingard go, yeah, I know he probably gave us some of the best fights in the entire universe, but I never really liked the way he told his stories. Also, he will get to work on other movies now, which is a good thing since he is a filmmaker and it will give him more opportunities to tell better stories, so I'm happy for him.

Probably not the best universe but it actually a great one yet and probably around in the Top 3 of the best cinema universes ever but there is something off and how much original Monsters were there more than Copyright toho monsters like Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra Larva and Mechagodzilla like there is 20+ Original monsters than 6+ Copyright Monsters. and it ok but hopefully we see Biollante, Spacegodzilla, Manda, Jet Jaguar and Battra in the future!

Kong Skull Island wasn’t a traditional prequel because it is about a completely different set of characters and doesn’t setup the 2014 film at all. So that made it a cinematic universe. Skull Island and Monarch: LOM solidified that mission

@@DMan1954 if there was another Kong movie in there, like there should have been, then you could start making that argument. Ideally even a Mothra movie or something. But when you go from Godzilla 1 to Skull Island to Godzilla 2, Godzilla 3, and Godzilla 4... That's just a series.

It's a little bit of a miss opportunity. Every film is great on its own but it could have been even better if the later ones at least try to connect with the previous. Dougherty did his best and I still think KotM is the best one in the verse. I don't like how GvK and GxK disregard a lot of things happened before.

[@NinjaLawyerSteve]

I feel like it's a stretch to even call it a cinematic universe. For 4 reasons: 1) lack of solo outings- we've had 3 solo films about two characters. That's it. Feels more like a series of sequels. Everything takes place one after another. Nothing happens at the same time. 2) centering on godzilla- it doesn't feel like a cinematic universe when everything seems to revolve around one character. "he's the king of the monsters"; I feel like part of what made the MCU work was there was no hierarchy. It didn't all center on one character. But here... Everything is Godzilla's rival, he takes part in everything, even Kongs characterization has to revolve around Godzilla ("he earned Godzillas respect", "he doesn't bow down"). He rules over everything and everyone whether they admit it or not. Makes it feel like the Godzillaverse guest starring Kong rather than a shared universe. 3) lack of cohesion- as you pointed out, continuity is abysmal in this supposed cinematic universe. Nothing ties together. Nothing has any lasting impact. It's just a bunch of stuff that happens. This also means the status quo never gets challenged. Godzilla started on top and he's stayed there. It's boring and will get repetitive fast.
