Hi Jake, welcome back! Glad you guys are watching this show...mild spoilers re performances: I had a lot of issues with some of the acting (excluding the rl father and son team who are the best) to the point that I couldn't even finish the show, so really interested in your opinion about them.

Hey Guys here is Another Blockbuster Movie *SALAARL* Movie Out Now You Must Watch And Reaction The Director OF KFG And Hero of Bahubali Movie Prabhas

[@Depth217]

This show is like what Clone Wars is to the PT - it expands the universe of the setting, effortlessly wields mythology from across the series, and has more time to breathe and show more impact that the movies won’t always have time to show.

I’m so happy they’re finally watching Monarch. This show is so damn good and surprisingly addictive, it’s like a great mystery thriller with Kaiju!

[@tylerrodriguez9935]

I’m really glad there’s a member of the panel who’s a big G fan. Like old movies and MV movies. It’s always refreshing to see someone with your same interests and their knowledge applied to the MonsterVerse

[@williamhu6941]

Just to let you gentlemen know, this series takes place in between the 1950s and the 2015 timeline, which basically takes place in between the first Godzilla movie and before Kong Skull Island. The 2015 timeline picks up one year after the first Godzilla movie that took place in year 2014.

Except for the ending.

12:36 "You think they would have done geological testing before they built this plant" Fun Story, here in Germany, one of our Energy Providers build a Nuclear Power Plant. It was online for less than a day, when they discovered that the area was unstable and had to shut it off... permanently ^^*

[@W0NK042]

Yessssss! So glad to see you're doing this. You are in for a treat.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

Interesting that this series came out just as the Godzilla Minus One movie came out - Fun fact in the 1959 flashback the younger Bill Randa is wearing a Kansas City Monarchs baseball hat 🧢 - Featured creatures / MUTOs include the giant spider from Skull Island is called Mother Longlegs, the giant crab called the Mantleclaw, the ones that hatched from the eggs are called Endoswarmers, & then last is called Ion Dragon

[@vinsanity40k]

it's almost as if it was done on purpose. then there's that godzilla x kong coming out too. some kind of monsterverse renaissance going on here. 😄

[@Destiny87]

One thing I didn't get at first is that Billy is the younger version of John Goodman's character.

[@isaacm209]

I was a little lost at first too. I kinda wish they were more direct with the names at the beginning of the show, but I still really enjoyed the whole thing

[@KylaTalks]

They make this super clear in the next episode. I think it's meant to be confusing in episode 1 since the show is a mystery. So, this is a spoiler.

[@Ziaotic]

ngl i watched the entire show and never once figured that

[@meswoopnoseenothing]

@@Ziaotic??? They literally show Hiroshi watching John Goodman’s tape in a later episode and they go “oh watching your DAD huh?”

[@redfire1186]

14:07 Just love Aaron's keeps that reaction of his to seeing the kids falling to their deaths, cause I covered my mouth in shock as well to then process it.

[@lykan2]

Oh you are in for a wild ride, enjoyed this show more than i would have guessed!

[@CaptainPikeachu]

So glad to see you guys watching this show! I loved it! I so appreciate the way this story gets to explore depth in character dynamics and really see an expansion of the world building in ways that the movies haven’t been able to do. This story is allowed to be more smaller scaled and really get into the human fallout and trauma of everything G-Day and Monarch has done. And Kurt and Wyatt Russell’s character Lee Shaw may just be the best Monsterverse character!

[@AngelGroves]

I've always appreciated Jake (the work he does with BW...plus, he and dababa's relationship is one of the cutest/sweetest ever), and I've enjoyed the reactions he's been a part of with Blind Wave...but this is (by far) my favorite! Jake is actually the one that made me more curious about Godzilla, and who made me want to watch Godzilla ('54). Plus, I've been curious about this show. What a great group to react to it.

[@dababa85]

This is so sweet! Thank you for sharing it. Jake’s gonna be happy he got more people into Godzilla ❤️❤️

[@victoriagarcia9920]

Agreed!! This is the first time I've watched a reaction with Jake and I was thrilled with his input and take on the episode!! His knowledge of the time-line of events was much appreciated. Can't wait to see more with him! 👍

[@mightymorphin3372]

[@Dan_G.R.S.]

While I think this show really struggled in the middle, the beginning and ending few episodes are so strong it really makes up for it. Especially the performances! By the end it was really emotional.

[@alopry11]

Totally agree ..bored in the middle which was a shame

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

I actually hated some episode in the middle. But damn did the last two save it. I was bawling my eyes out in the finale.

[@pettywithat9838]

Agreed...Tho I will always be thankful that they didn't drop the ball with the kaijus. I'm always prepared to suffer through some bad acting if the monsters look great

[@trylobyte07]

And also the past storyline was generally better than the present storyline. But it all came together in the end. I hope we get a season 2

the fact she didn't know she was gonna get sprayed when she got on the plane implies they didn't tell people before they got on, i'm not sure thats legal, the spraying part maybe, i'm guessing they passed a law so its fine but i'm pretty sure they would still need to tell everyone that if they get on the plane their gonna get sprayed

Fun fact - I watched this without having seen any of the movies beforehand, and honestly I think it was better that way. Some parts were minorly confusing, but after seeing the whole show, and then after that the movies, Monarch the organization seemed a lot cooler before I watched the movies.

Ah I'm kinda happy to see yall doing this one, while I think the middle portion of the show gets dragged down hard by the modern day crew. The beginning episodes and final episodes r really strong enough to make up for the lackluster middle. Plus this show does quite a good job at expanding the universe and making human characters I mostly care about which the movies have always struggled with.
