MONARCH: Why are there NO MONSTERS in the MONSTERVERSE? / What is MONARCH? - Nerd Legion Ep. 18
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- DoA and MonteCristo review the first five episodes of the new AppleTV+ show set in the MonsterVerse, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Starring Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt, who plays the younger version of Kurt, and set in both the modern day and in 1950's flashbacks, the show ultimately disappoints. Perplexingly, the show contains surprisingly few actual monsters and spends an exorbitant amount of time on the psychological woes of its boring characters. Furthermore, Monarch fails to even explain any of the mysteries surrounding its titular organization, leaving viewers bored and with few answers gleaned from five hours of watching this show.

DoA mentioned Lost when he talked about flashbacks. Would be nice if you guys did a series (or at least an episode) about it. It has like 120 episodes but it's so good.
30:45 Doa would love godzilla: minus one. godzilla never just stopped using his powers and abilites randomly.
I saw it last night and I did love it!
Happy New Year 2024! Really looking forward a full year with you guys!!! Dune pt2 ft Thorin??? 2 hour long episode?? XD❤
5:52 worst run gov ever Doa
11:59 tragic but funny. 14:00
19:50 nothing happens 31:03 no purpose
34:13 you could've done it in Tokyo!!!
36:20 wooden dialogue
43:00 I only started to be exposed to I guess the idea that how I feel about character or if I like the character factoring into enjoying the story quality but I guess it's because we've been exposed to a lot of badly written characters and your expertise rubbing off.
48:36 intro Doa😂😂😂
The biggest criticism of the western Godzilla movies was always the human characters, because they either didn't have the time to flesh them out or took up too much screentime, depriving us of the monsters. In theory a TV show should have the time to develop interesting characters and show plenty of action. Unfortunately the protagonists are horribly annoying, ruining the core of the show. It's a shame because I think the production quality is very high and the monster action we've seen has been pretty good so far, it could have been a good series.
Rebel Moon should be a fun one
Might be the worst movie ive seen
@@cryfest I've heard it's not so good, I plan on watch it later this week
It's trash
I liked it ,nothing amazing but it was decent nothing compared to the USA Godzilla or Godzilla minus one Wich was amazing
Ted?
You guys lasted one more episode than I did. I quit after 4. Not worth my time to watch that crap with so many other (better) series available.
One of my problems with this show is that they watch a lot of trash that I don't want to waste my time watching so I end up just skipping most of the episodes.
