The MONSTERVERSE Timeline | Complete History & Recap

Some mistakes in the video: 17:33 - President Nixon is incorrectly called "Reagan." (oops, some history geek I am) 50:50 - I claim Godzilla takes rest on a remote island, but the upside down mountains in the background indicate he’s actually resting in the Hollow Earth.

Easily my favourite part about the Monsterverse is the continuity between projects in release order, like how Monarch: Legacy of Monsters introduced Applied Experimental Technologies and its eventual rebrand to Apex Cybernetics!

Fantastic recap. For as much [partially undeserved] flack that The Monsterverse gets, it honestly feels like one of the most fleshed out continuities in the Godzilla franchise, and, if not that, the most loving version. Every single entry beams with a passion for Godzilla, King Kong, or Giant Monsters as a whole.

This universe's continuity may be a mess, considering its few entries compared to universes like the MCU, but we can always trust Dakota to make sense out of all of it in a very comprehensive timeline.

Bro! An hour long look at this is insane. No wonder you were holed up watching Godzilla films for months. I'm always impressed! I'd tell you that I hope the next video is simpler and easier, but let's be honest, that's probably not going to happen.

You've done it again, Dakota! I've been looking forward to this Timeline since you first mentioned being interested in diving into it, and ohhh boy, IT WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT. Thank you for your dedication in not just the research, but also the amazing editing and visuals you put into this video (and all videos, ofc). I hope people come to this video more and more as we come closer to Godzilla x Kong. Now, I've tried doing this Titan-Sized task of tracking the MonsterVerse timeline, but very poorly it seems. There's much new information and new characters to me! Thank you for also reading the comics, summarizing them for us and placing them in the timeline as well! I used to think the Skull Island 1973 Mission took place on April 7th, due to some reports and videos stating that, but it being in January-February makes so much sense due to the War background. I had noticed it but paid no attention to it in favor of the April date haha And oh, I've been dying to talk about this! In regards to the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters continuity: —I came to the same conclusion as you, with G-Day working best on the 16th of May! Even if there's so much going against it, it definitely works best in that date. —And I'm sure you know about this, but for Kentaro's Art Gallery flashback, I believe it occurs on March 19, 2014 (even if the poster says June), since the graphic designer Arin Ringwald who did the artwork for the show posted on their blog some other versions of the poster with that March date, so... Maybe they were told to add March in the first place, and then for some reason they were told to change it to June? Anyway, even though it wasn't used, it works better for it happening just one year before the April 2015 date, and not in June 2014, after G-Day. —There's definitely no excuse for the year of May and Kentaro meeting being that horribly dated lmao —Also, Ecko (@Blacklight_21) actually posted to Twitter how the teaser for the series showed a December 16, 1959 date on a redacted file. Isn't is safe to assume that's at least the month when Keiko fell to Axis Mundi, as the redacted file would be a report on that mission? Looking forward to your next videos as well!

Thank you so much for making this! 😃 I Love The Monsterverse!

This is the true timeline of the Monsterverse that I was looking for, it is very well explained and structured, and thanks for adding the comics that are canon, especially Godzilla Aftershock and Muto Prime, whose participation was of vital importance, this comic Like the others, except for Godzilla Awakening, they are still canon because they are much more than just additional material and their stories connect very well with the films and also answer many details and questions that cannot be seen in the films.

No continuity errors in this video 👏🏻

This continuity was incredible. This is so much work man. Thank you.

Awesome job Dakota. As always.

This was a great timeline! There's a ton of information here and there's even stuff in the Monsterverse timeline I didn't even know about until now. Although, there are a couple of things that are missing. The years Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah were discovered (Rodan was discovered in 1991, Mothra was discovered in 2009, and Ghidorah was discovered in 2016, just 3 years before King of the Monsters took place), and there's also the discoveries made during King of the Monster's events. Na Kika was discovered sometime before Ghidorah was awakened (nicknamed as "Kraken" then), and the other female MUTO (Queen MUTO; nicknamed "Barb") wasn't discovered by Monarch until Ghidorah did his mass awakening call.

This was super helpful in understanding the continuity (or lack of it) of this universe! I'm way behind, so this got my hyped to get caught up! Also Benson Farris is the freaking coolest.

Glad this showed up on my recommended! Incredible work

Dude I love video! Definitely worth the wait. Didn’t know the MonsterVerse had so many “continuity” errors. Keep up the good work!

Incredible video Dakota! Easily one of the most in depth MV timeline videos I’ve ever seen, even with how confusing the continuity is. Keep up the great work!

At home sick the last couple days. Listening to this while I recover was awesome. Would love to see an update now that the next film is out. Thank you!

Wow! This is better than I expected. Continuity

Great video love it❤

Yo this is dope
