It’s honestly kind of wild that Monarch: Legacy of Monsters still gets talked about like some under-the-radar side dish to the MonsterVerse movies when the show has become a real streaming force in its own right.

For a franchise spin-off that could’ve easily just coasted on brand recognition, Monarch has done a pretty good job of proving it is its own thing.
