Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
(2023)

Like chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips
Is it really too much to ask for a monsterverse series to have monsters in it?

It seems obvious, but the key to any Kaiju story is to include monsters. I agree that most Godzilla related projects have poor character development. Godzilla Minus One demonstrated how you can have monsters AND tell a great story.

However, there are plenty of fantastic Godzilla films with weak, or downright ridiculous characters and stories. If something is going to be lacking in a monster movie, don't make it the monsters.

This series manages to do both. The story is paper thin. The characters are one dimensional and uninspired and there are virtually no monsters to speak. A couple dull sequences and rehashed clips from the movies just don't cut it.

I keep hearing it's a budget issue. Well, Monsters, Minus One, District 9 and Cloverfield are just a few examples that show a low budget doesn't need to be an obstacle.

But if you need a big budget to pull this off and you don't have it, then don't waste our time.

This series is a terrible series and an even worse monsterverse entry. Thanks for not even trying Apple. I'm cancelling my subscription. You obviously aren't using the money well.

Mildly entertaining first season, painfully stupid second season...
It seems evident that the creators have only the vaguest idea of how actual humans would react to any event.

Then they write the characters to not even roughly approximate that. None of these characters behaves even remotely as any actual human would in any situation.

I wonder, would it kill the writers to ever payoff on even one single "cliffhanger"? Just one. That would be so much more interesting for the viewer.

Oh yeah, and the "mysteries"? Don't expect a single one to lead anywhere, and do expect for most of them to be never mentioned again.

Stupidity of the highest order here.

What a waste of time.

Two stars for the cinematography and the production design.

Dorothy may be one of the worst written and performed characters I have ever seen. Painful to watch.

The Walking Dead: The World Before
(2019)
Episode 8, Season 10

Painfully Stupid!!!!!!!
Nope. That's it.

Simply mind numbingly, absurdly, ricululously, insultingly, painfully stupid writing.

There is zero accumulated knowledge for these characters at this point and even less common sense.

Do better writers. You are just insulting us now.

Demon House
(2019)

I feel stupider after watching this.
What a steaming pile of horse crap. I can't believe people are stupid enough to believe this garbage.

This moron should be ashamed of himself.

Don't waste your time. Watch Sesame Street. It's more believable.
