 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here? So this will be the spoiler-free review of monarch legacy of monsters episodes six through ten Which I think Apple is airing these episodes weekly because they've just sent us the entire season at once But I think this season is supposed to end on January 12th If I'm not mistaken, but yeah We'll be continuing the review of the show that I started like a month or two ago at this point with episodes One through five again talk about episode six through ten I'll go over the plot of the show really quick again and the cast and that's really we're not going to recap or do any of that Stuff if you want to check out my first half of my review for the show, I'll leave a link to it in the description but In 2015 one year after the re-emergence of gods that will have siblings kate and cantero Randa investigate their missing father Hiroshi's connections to monarch the the covert operation monitoring giant monsters known as titans Two generations earlier bill randa and kiko more kiko moria or moria Our scientists involved with the early development of monarch former army officer lee shaw becomes a close ally to the Randa family across both time periods. This series is starring anasawai kirsey clemons a white russell and kurt russell Joe tippett and Eliza losowski so Monarch legacy of monsters The second half is more the same and I would say it's still a good show overall A deep dive into monarch. Our titans are here You have a looming threat that could outdo g day as the narrative will have you to believe and cantero may kate And lee shaw are still hunting to find kate and cantero's dad Hiroshi who they believe to be alive after he disappeared following the events of g day Now the narrative balance between the 1950s and 2015 still allows us to get to know Hiroshi Who again is their father his relationship with monarch and the ongoing legacy with this family That he has or the ongoing legacy that this family has with the establishment known as monarch Motivation for certain characters are starting to become more clear with one turning out to be a completely different person From what was initially presented to us This really struck a nerve too when it happened because monarch has done such a great job making the humans Compelling and worth investing in as opposed to the general consensus That surrounds the current monster verse films and their handling of humans and the lack of care that I have every time I revisit those movies The love history between cantero and may that I still Feel got way too much attention in the first half Is thankfully dropped in favor of a more intriguing subplot for me A subplot that explains why she's in japan and her complicated tech background Digging into the more interesting aspects of may was the right choice because the love drama just was not cutting it Yes, I understand it was there to explain her history with kate's brother But it overstated's welcome is all i'm getting at the dynamic between kate and cantero remains believable as a pair of siblings Who are slowly developing love for one another after not knowing who each other were for several years This is thanks to their thanks to their father and his secrets Um With so much already known about the monster verse what I do have to say about monarch legacy of monsters is that it continues To keep its narrative engaging beyond just our characters even if it's trading on details We already know about all of the second half All of the second half events build up to this generational encounter where you have the past and present reuniting Take from that what you will i'm trying to again keep it as spoiler-free as I can In other words though, they still did not deliver on the titan mayhem Some of you might be growing frustrated with and doubled down even more so on the human drama Granted a very compelling human drama Also, again, I recognize that some people just are not liking what they're doing with the humans But in comparison to what they've been doing with these monster verse films This is the best set of human characters that we've had so far in this cinematic universe However the inevitable mini brawl that occurs in the finale Is a satisfying moment if you felt deprived of the titan brawls during this show Now I do say mini because this happened for maybe a minute or a little slightly under a minute And it was a refreshing thing to see it felt like a finally moment when we saw two Creatures battling i'm not going to say who was involved in the brawl You can take your guess as to who one of them were not too shocking But the season did conclude on a very humongous cliffhanger So I remain hopeful that season two does Slightly dial back the human drama just a tad bit and put in more titan action If the budget allows of course the visual effects. I thought we're still solid enough Godzilla looks fine as did a surprise guest Anna Sawyer and the entire cast continue to do a great job with their performances But Kurt Russell I would say still remains the series highlight actually Ruined when Tabi's performance in the first half of this show. I would say is better than these last five episodes he has some Moments where I can argue that he's doing a fine job But I would say he's not doing as good as everyone else He is the weak link and I don't mean that in any sort of type of attack towards him I just think that what he was doing in the first half of the show Definitely was a better performance from him as opposed to what I see in this second half Still the direction overall I would say is good and I didn't take issue with the pacing either When the story wants to build tension it works and when it's going for a more emotional moment It hits even harder. Thanks to the character work None of which linger for too long on your screen all in all monarch legacy of monsters I would give this a Show a seven out of ten. I think the last time during my first half of the review for episodes one through five I gave that a six or six point five with everything that they've done with these last six or last five episodes I'd say the show is a solid seven. It's a solid show Digs deeper into monarch and what we already know about it while also keeping you on your toes Keeping this story engaging with some very nice visuals Good visual effects when it comes to our titans in there on screen presence Good recreation of godzilla, especially after gday and the performances are not bad for the most part Again, solid direction great pacing Give it a seven out of ten. I would only just really try to find a balance between the human drama and your Titan Action that I know many people would love to see more of but I know it might just be a budget restriction thing Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already Of course, make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications that you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts.
