Sithplayer Review of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023– )

Daddy issues: King of Mehsters

[6/10 · 31 December 2023]

So let me start by saying I love and enjoy the flashbacks of the Big 3 original Monarch members, Old Shaw and Monarch current day. Those are interesting and fun. The biggest negative is the godawful main 3 that were forced to watch. Kentaro is the only character that is even watchable and the only rational-ish one. May is sneaky and underhanded but yet gets forgiven even after pulling some BS on the group and constantly wanting to go home. Cate is an annoying and just idiotic person who is proven to be a liar and cheater and then forgives the person who nearly destroyed the group just like that cause she's in love with her. The choices the kids make are just beyond stupid and irrational and if it was just Kentaro or if the other two were actually likable would be better than what we have. I was expecting it to be more in the past and the first discovery but we only get snippets. At the time of writing this there's 2 episodes left and it's renewed for a S2 but I hope they just cut out the 3 protags and focus somewhere else.
