Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Explores Godzilla's Twin Heritages | The Backdrop

Welcome to The Backdrop with Darren Mooney, our brand-new show focused on critical analysis of movies, tv shows, and the business surrounding them. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a show about symmetry. It is about doubling and mirroring, concepts separated across time and space intersecting on one central point. From the team behind The Escapist, we're excited to introduce you to our new employee-owned and fully independent outlet, Second Wind. Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SecondWindGroup

It's fascinating to see that there is a strong fandom, and cultural factor, behind Godzilla unlike with most other potential monster franchises. Did it have the recognizable shift from ironic/kitsch appreciation back to serious devotion, or has its cultural impact remained the same all the time?

Great video! Though when I read the title I was thinking of the twin heritages of scary, awe-inspiring serious Godzilla versus the more fun, kid-friendly Godzilla who beat up other monsters and protected Japan. Seems like that's another line this series (and the related movies) are trying to straddle.
