The most recent one is Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which is available on Apple TV and it centers on the secret organization Monarch and its attempts to follow monsters throughout the course of history.The big question that is on the minds of fans is: where does Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 fit into the overall Monsterverse timeline?Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2’s place in the Monsterverse View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe events in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 are set between Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in the Monsterverse timeline. The modern-day plot of Season 1 was set in 2015, approximately a year following the resurgence of Godzilla and concluded with a time-jump to 2017. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 picks up almost immediately after that and hence the story is set in 2017.This is an opportune placement for the franchise continuity. It comes between the appearance of Godzilla and the great Titan fights in King of the Monsters. That provides the show enough room to investigate the research of Monarch and the increasing threats without conflicting with the blockbuster events, but yet offer some foreshadowing of what is yet to happen.How flashbacks shape the story View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe time-travelling between the periods is one of the most interesting aspects. The majority of the events in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 primarily occur in 2017, yet numerous scenes still occur in the past. These flashbacks reveal the young years of Monarch, as the group was initially finding Titans.Season 1 centered much on the 1950s and Season 2 is a continuation of this, going back to 1957. The older scenes are not merely emotional appeals, they establish the connection between the Titans’ present day disasters and Monarch’s origins.Displaying the past and present simultaneously, the series assists in clarifying how the Monsterverse evolved over the years, it seems as though each flashback is another secret behind the monsters.What comes next for the MonsterverseMonarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, takes place in 2017, prior to Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Following that 2019 film, the events shift to larger events such as Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, set sometime in the early-to-mid 2020s. After that, it proceeds with movies set further in the future such as Godzilla x Kong: Supernova and others.Thus, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 functions as a bridge. It links the lesser world-building following the resurgence of Godzilla with the subsequent, full-scale Titan conflicts. In case the show receives additional seasons, it may proceed in the chronological order and connect to the films. In the meantime, Season 2 belongs to the quiet-before-the-storm stage perfectly well.For more such insights on the Monsterverse, keep following Soap Central.
