Last month, Apple TV released a teaser for the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, part of Legendary Entertainment's MonsterVerse, which brought Godzilla, King Kong, and various other monsters ( kaiju) created by Toho Co., Ltd into a shared narrative. But we only got the most fleeting glimpse of the promised new mythical Titan threatening the human race. The full trailer just dropped and rectifies that: it's a gigantic tentacled undersea being dubbed Titan X-and only Kong and Godzilla can stop it.
The second film adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka's 2004 eponymous novel, this new one is considerably inferior to Edge of Tomorrow from 2014, Tom Cruise's own Groundhog D1ay with mechs. It's not a question of budget or aesthetics simply a gaping hole of engaging characterisation and inner spark that makes this time loop a grinding chore, rather than a thrilling jailbreak from eternal recurrence.
A caper is always better with two. Batman and Robin, Jake and Finn, Thelma and Louise. Why do you think Shaggy and Scooby were always paired together when the gang split up? This is especially true in comedy, with duos ranging from Laurel and Hardy to Key and Peele taking their place in comedy history. Now, a major comedy duo is reviving a classic horror-comedy made by their Old Hollywood equivalents, right down to reusing the title.
