Godzilla, Kong, Gamera & Co.: The Kaiju Mega-Thread

I wonder what the timing is on season 2. Season 1's closing scenes were set in 2017, two years before Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But the trailer suggests that season 2 will have a Godzilla/Kong team-up, something that shouldn't happen until Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021. Godzilla's form suggests the season is set before The New Empire, though.
 
Less than a year ago, the book Godzilla: The First 70 Years was published. The information and photography included make it well worth checking out for Godzilla and kaiju fans.
 
I have that on my Hoopla wish list and I was wondering if it was any good, this definitely moved up a bit on my list.

Yeah, I was trying to figure that out after the first trailer too. Hopefully it'll be clearer once the season starts.
How involved with Monarch are the people responsible for the movies? I'm just wondering if we might end up with an Agents of S.H.I.L.D. kind of situation with this as it goes on.

Yeah, I saw it recently at Barnes and Noble, but it was a sealed copy so I didn't get a chance to flip through the pages.
A quick look at my local library system tells me they don't have a copy available to check out; it would have to be something I would have to recommend ordering.

Hard to say. The producers of the MonsterVerse movies are listed as executive producers on the show, but that's probably just because it's based on their property. (Yoshimitsu Banno, the director of Godzilla vs. Hedorah and an executive producer on the 2014 Godzilla, is listed as a producer even though he died in 2017.) The show and the films have no writers in common. I'm sure the franchise executive producers are sent the scripts for vetting, but often that's just a token thing and the execs don't pay much attention to the spinoffs, though occasionally they're more hands-on.

My guess would be that the show is mainly its own thing, doing its best to follow the movies' lead without much active cooperation from the movie people. That's generally the rule with these things, and it's suggested by the fact that they set the show in the movies' past, following well behind the established continuity, which implies that they don't have the inside scoop on what the next movie will be doing.
 
We were actually just talking about that in the posts right above yours.
