Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
admonition : Spoilers for Monarch : Legacy of Monsters season 1
Summary
A freshly introduced Titan , depict inMonarch : Legacy of Monsters , creates additional confusion surrounding the dying of the original Godzilla . Set one class after the events ofGodzillaand four before the battle with Ghidorah inGodzilla : King of the Monsters , Monarch : Legacy of Monsterscontributed a smattering of creatures to Godzilla and Kong ’s cinematic world . Thanks to Apple TV ’s show , the Monsterverse ’s creature lineup now include the Ion Dragon , the Frost Vark , a giant insect monster , and the Bramble Boar .
Before the freeing , there were questions as to how its creatures would be brought into Monsterverse canon . In the case of the Frost Vark , the Monsterverse handled the issue by kill him shortly after its find , thus eliminating any potential secret plan pickle concerning why it was n’t accounted for inKing of the Monsters . But while animal like theMonsterverse ’s Frost Varkand perhaps the giant dirt ball Titan in all likelihood have no ties to anything outside the show , at least one of its unexampled existence - the Ion Dragon - already has connections to the Monsterverse ’s past .
What Happened To Godzilla’s Ancestor Dagon In The Monsterverse
It was discovered in 2014’sGodzillathat Monarch found aGodzilla skeleton in the Philippines . The Godzilla root , who has since been named Dagon , was plainly killed by a MUTO , who planted its eggs in his eubstance . These grew into the manful and female MUTOs seen in the 2014 film , who regain new homes in the Monsterverse . A lifelike novel tie - in titledGodzilla : Aftershockelaborated on Dagon ’s ruin by read the Godzilla root die in engagement with MUTO Prime , a much larger appendage of the species Godzilla fight back in San Francisco . Dagon ’s body was left in the Philippines , where it was found by Monarch in 1999 .
The Ion Dragon’s Monsterverse Location Raises Questions About Dagon’s Death
Perhaps coincidently , the Philippines is also where the Ion Dragon lived at one metre . That was made clean-cut byMonarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 2 , which revealed he was there in 1952 . Not only that , but it was confirm that the military was tipped off to Godzilla ’s existence after Monarch found his step in the Philippines in 1954 . It would be odd for four unlike Titans ( MUTO Prime , Ion Dragon , Godzilla , and Dagon ) to all have connections to the Philippines - unless , of grade , there is a reason why so much happens in this particular locating . It ’s deserving wondering if all four go there at one point or another is n’t really a happenstance .
It ’s not out of the question thatthe Monsterverese ’s Ion Dragonwas involved in some way with the battle that resulted in Dagon ’s death . There was no denotation of another Titan ’s involvement inGodzilla : Aftershock , of row , but this would n’t be the first time a Monsterverse task has retconned a detail from tie - in stuff . Godzilla : Awakening , for instance , provides an account of theCastle Bravo test in 1954that differs from what was inMonarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 3 . With that in mind , it could be that there is indeed more to the level when it comes to Dagon ’s death that the Monsterverse has n’t dig into yet .
The Hollow Earth Could Explain The Connection Between Dagon’s Death & The Ion Dragon
Since most Titans are ancient creatures who have lived for thousand - if not millions - of years , it could be that the Dagon , MUTO Prime , and the Ion Dragon crossed path in the Philippines . If so , there might have been a third player involve in Dagon ’s downfall . As for why the Philippines seems to be such a hotbed for Titan action ( whether the Ion Dragon met Dagon or not ) , the sound possible explanation may rely on the Hollow Earth concept . After all , climb evidence does point to there being a hidden Hollow Earth entrance near the Philippines .
Somehow , the Ion Dragon contribute the wreckage of the USS Lawton without find . likewise , Godzilla total on land in the Philippines without being spotted . The latter is what prompted Bill Randa to speculate on the possibility of " teleportation , " which eventually evolved into the undercover tunnel system theory inMonarch : Legacy of Monstersepisode 8 . For these reasons , it makes horse sense that there ’s a Hollow Earth approach gunpoint in the neck of the woods , which would help account for why at least four Titans have come through the area . If the Ion Dragon was there when Dagon fought MUTO Prime , though , is another matter that remains assailable to conjecture .
