*Spoilers* The Godzilla TV Show Just Connected Up With the Godzilla Movies in a Big Way
IGN provided this helpful piece that places *Monarch: Legacy of Monsters* within the broader ***Monsterverse*** continuity.
>As a timeline refresher: The Monsterverse Godzilla movie that centered on the catastrophic G-Day event happened in 2014. Season 1 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters followed one year later in 2015 and ended with a two-year time jump to 2017. That was a result of the semi-successful rescue mission executed by older Shaw, Cate Randa (Anna Sawai), and May Olowe-Hewitt (Kiersey Clemons) into *Axis Mundi*, the pocket realm between Earth and Hollow Earth, to rescue a stuck-in-time Keiko. Season 2 then unfolded over a breakneck eight weeks in 2017, leaving about 18 months of open storytelling time until the Titan awakenings featured in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
There’s still a lot of social media debate out there however regarding the appearance of *Rodan* first in the continuity at the end *M:LOM* season two. Is it the same *Rodan* who appears later in Mexico in *Godzilla: King of Monsters*? Or, are there two distinct *Rodan*’s?
Since *Rodan* is a classic Toho Kaiju licensed to Legendary Entertainment, it’s a major commitment towards a third season narrative either way.
