I didn’t hate the finale. It should definitely be getting a second season, it never fell below 2nd most popular show on Apple TV for its entire run and was usually the 1st.

So at the end they end up in 2017, which is 2 years before the events of Godzilla KOTM. I kind of wish they had caught up to GvK or at least right before it. 

 

It'll probably get a 2nd season - it's extremely well-received by critics and viewers alike, and the 5 films and 2 TV series in the MonsterVerse have grossed $2 billion.  Up next is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Movies:

• Godzilla (2014, Gareth Edwards)
• Kong: Skull Island (2017)
• Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019)
• Godzilla vs Kong (2021)
• Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (March, 2024)

TV Shows:

• Skull Island (2023, Netflix)
• Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023 - 2024, AppleTV )

Season 2 of Skull Island's scripts are completed, and they are waiting to start production with Netflix.  On the movie side, they are talking 2-3 more movies at a minimum, including one with a minimum amount of human characters, and Legendary's Godzilla license was renewed a few years ago.

That Netflix skull island show sucked so many balls at once. Only made it like halfway through.

I swear the show runners watched how Mae was received and edited out all her dialogue out of the finale. It was a bit weird, but pleasant, she was in most scenes and only said like 5 words total.

[Texzilla58 4683]

Typical. Keiko and Shaw, both like 90 years old, having to lug the capsule while Mae and Cate go off to frolic.

I am not liking Shaw being down there, these kids are making it almost unwatchable. I’m sure we’ll watch S2 but they better get Shaw involved quick.

I made it throught the entire Time Travelling Godzilla, After School Special: Our father cheated (like my hypocrite sister) and was a bastard child himself with Mae the annoying and self serving criminal "hacker" who hates olds.

I absolutely hated how 3 grown ass 21+ adults had the lines and were treated like high school troubled youths. This show was a beating. Unless they kill off all 3 "good little children" in the first episode there is zero chance I'd watch another season.

Otherwise, it was fantastic.

Finally got around to finishing the finale. 
 

I didn’t expect to get dusty when hiro met his mom. 
 

felt like a GOT reunion. 
 

KK!! LFG

[BrazilHorn 6552]

Finale was pretty solid. The lesbian love angle is stupid. Would have been fine if they started there but May is going to hook up with the brother and sister? Just dumb. 
 

Hard part with this show is vast majority of characters aren’t least bit likeable. I am team “monsters eating everyone” at this point.

Renewed for season 2

New deal inked to include multiple spinoffs. 

[Helobious 9394]

I’m on board. The “multiple spin-offs” thing isn’t totally official, but one such idea that’s been floating for a while now is “Godzilla B.C”, which I hope gets greenlit. Michael Dougherty (who directed KOTM) expressed interest in directing it.

Man I hope S2 is better.  The writing was abysmal

[kingkoopa6 8263]

It was the kid actors that were no bueno

woof....

 

just finally watched this series... and as all the others have said, the writing was horrible, the acting was terrible, and the cool monster parts were basically 90% green screen running from the big scary titan followed almost immediately by a deus ex machina escape from suddenly apeparing help. 

I fully get that Godzilla was campy by design. but man, I am stunned this got a renewal for a 2nd season.  highly doubt I will watch season 2 sober....or during its relase time period... I will just wait till I can watch the episodes over a week or so
