Apple TV’s Biggest Sci-Fi Series Sets Up Mechagodzilla’s Arrival & Godzilla x Kong: Supernova’s Possible New Threat

Apple TV+ is expanding the story of the Monsterverse with its exciting new shows, and its biggest sci-fi series might be hinting at two future movies within a single season. Fans have been enjoying a lot of giant monster action lately, thanks to several impressive Godzilla and Kong films, all featuring fantastic special effects and thrilling battles.

For viewers who enjoy stories focused on characters, there are two options: the Apple TV+ sci-fi series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which delves into the history and work of the Monarch organization, and the new franchise launched by Godzilla: Minus One. Currently, season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is beginning to align more closely with the events of the Godzilla films.

Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters Season 2’s Latest Episode Was A Big Step For Apex

Be warned, this article reveals key plot points from season 2, episode 5 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Apex Cybernetics is a powerful and secretive company within the Monsterverse universe. While known for its involvement in building Mechagodzilla in the films, the Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters shows how Apex got its start, taking place years earlier. The latest episode features a significant development in the company’s evolution.

In season 2, episode 5 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Apex attempted a large-scale operation to control the main monster, Titan X. They tried to use inhibitor chips – a technology allowing brief control of Titans – deploying a drone to fire the chips at Titan X.

Initially, the attempt to capture Titan X looked promising. But Titan X fought back, using scarabs to cut off its injured limb and break free. Although the operation failed, May realized she just needs more time to fine-tune her code and the control chip for such a powerful creature. Now that she understands what went wrong, she’s confident she can fix it.

How The Apple TV Sci-Fi Series Could Be Setting Up Two Monsterverse Movies At Once

The newest episode of Monarch got me thinking about how it might tie into future Godzilla and Kong movies. We learned in Godzilla vs. Kong that Apex built Mechagodzilla using King Ghidorah’s skull to create a mental connection between the pilot and the machine. What’s happening with Apex in the Monarch series feels like the beginning of that process.

As a huge movie fan, I think Monarch: Legacy of Monsters season 2 isn’t just about continuing a story we already know – it could actually be really important for setting up the plot of Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Remember in 2021’s movie when Monarch tried – and failed – to create a weapon to fight the Titans from the ground up? I have a feeling season 2 will build on that and explain what happens next.

Could there be a way to control the Titans without relying on current methods? It’s possible the advanced technology from May’s work and the inhibitor chips featured in Monarch season 2 will reappear in the new Monsterverse movie. If Apex Cybernetics could directly control a Titan like Godzilla or Kong, they would have incredible power.

If the plan involving Titan X succeeds in the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, it could create a dangerous situation leading into Supernova. If rumors are true about SpaceGodzilla appearing in future Monsterverse films, the technology established in season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters might allow the organization to completely control SpaceGodzilla and even turn it against Kong and Godzilla.
