so apparently there's a monsterverse show called monarch: legacy of monsters. it's an apple tv production with heavy creative involvement from... matt fraction?! my fascination with this franchise just keeps paying dividends. designated godzilla evacuation routes in tokyo airport. dedicated defense turrets. they just made it anime in real life
okay, the central gimmick of having kurt russell and his son wyatt russell play the older and younger versions of the same character is actually really good
@sarahzedig one of the things that struck me about reading the interview with Moffat and Davies was that neither of them was on set, basically ever, and most on-set story calls were made by the director, at least for the showrunner-penned stories. tells me we should be foregrounding the discussions of directors more often when dissecting Who
@sarahzedig JADE: they did something similar in a recent Kamen Rider movie! the son Hiroshi Fujioka, Maito Fujioka, played the original Kamen Rider in a flashback
@sarahzedig whoa what the fuck??? Man am I gonna have to watch all THIS for Godzillionaires too?
big "the writers weren't on set" energy from the performances so far but it's early days yet
