Godzilla, Kong, Gamera & Co.: The Kaiju Mega-Thread
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
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.

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.
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.
Damn. looks like this season is going to be great!
Yeah, I was trying to figure that out after the first trailer too. Hopefully it'll be clearer once the season starts.

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.
i wonder how season 2 is gonna fit in with the monsterverse movies godzilla vs kong 1 and 2
We were actually just talking about that in the posts right above yours.
If you're willing to read e-books, and you're library has Hoopla, they have it..
OK, that was kinda of what I expected but I wasn't sure.
I just finished watching Godzilla Vs Megaguirus for the first time on Tubi, and I thought was pretty good. The human story was good, and the Kaiju action was a lot of fun. Some of the CGI effects were pretty cheesy, but that's pretty much to expected from a Japanese Godzilla that's this old.
I liked the alternate worldbuilding in Megaguirus, showing how Godzilla's existence had real consequences to the culture. I love the name "Dimension Tide" for the black-hole weapon; English names in Japanese productions often sound silly, but this one is downright poetic. And Tsujimori was a badass heroine. “Oh, I used Godzilla as a surfboard today, what did you do?”
i wonder when godzilla vs kong 3 comes out
IDW is going to launch The Horror of Godzilla in July, set in 1954 Japan and telling the story of Godzilla's first encounter with human civilization, with the emphasis on horror. It's described to be for fans of Minus One, Shin Godzilla, and the 1954 original. Now, this sounds great, and I am planning on picking it up ...
What makes me hesitate, though, is that it is set in the Kai-Sei universe. I gave that universe a chance, but it just didn't grip me as what I was really looking for in Godzilla comics. So, I do hope this new book won't have too many ties into the other Kai-Sei books.

It's not? I swear I saw something calling it either best or one of the best movies in the Millenium series.
What's up with the 1992 Godzilla vs Mothra? The only place it's streaming is the Criterion Channel, which I didn't even know what a thing until I looked the movie up on JustWatch, and the only physical media I can find for it on Amazon is either outrageously priced double feature DVDs with Godzilla vs King Ghidora or a VHS.
