I'm not a big fan of the giant monster genre (like Godzilla) but #MonarchLegacyOfMonsters is a good series.
I don't even know what the genre is properly called! 🤣🤣🤣

  @saria Thank you!
  I thought it was just a Japanese term for giant monsters, I didn't think it's also the genre!

    Kaiju
    
    Kaiju (Japanese: 怪獣, Hepburn: Kaijū, lit. 'Strange Beast') is a Japanese term that is commonly associated with media involving giant monsters. A subgenre of science fiction, it was created by Eiji Tsuburaya and Ishirō Honda. The term can also refer to the giant monsters themselves, which are usually depicted attacking major cities and battling either the military or other monsters. Director Ishirō Honda and tokusatsu director Eiji Tsuburaya's 1954 film Godzilla is often regarded as the first kaiju film. Kaiju characters are often somewhat metaphorical in nature; Godzilla, for example, serves as a metaphor for nuclear weapons, reflecting the fears of post-war Japan following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident.

  @ike_seblon Yep!
  Also, the way they present two time periods is like reading a novel. There's no "am I watching two series" moment. They switch at the right time making it smooth.
  They're also not rushing it nor stretching it. The pace is just right. It was too easy to rush to the Titans and then build the story later, but they avoided that. They continue to keep the thrill and mystery as to what's going on. Or, they could've easily fallen into filler scenes and episodes, but they didn't, every scene matters, and every character (even support characters) were given development.

  Agreed! Good writing, good direction, good cast. I'm watching it as "sci-fi thriller" and it's holding up.
