Here we'll update the top of the page with the latest Monarch videos being released on Twitter and Facebook. So far it seems like a new event is being shared every week. If anyone is able to get some decent screenshots of other events on the timeline, by all means, share away. It's pretty clear that at the pace they're going, something may be revealed at Comic Con 2017.

VIDEOS:

1) 1915 - Splitting of the Atom / 1946 - Monarch Founded (released 6/21)

2) 1973 - Mission: Skull (released 6/28)

3) 1991 - Isla de Mona (released 7/5)

1952 - THE GREAT SMOG OF LONDON -

I'm really loving the way info is being released. It's like classified government files being released/leaked to the public. I hope something like that is an element in the movie. People find out about the other monsters not because they get reawakened, but because files get declassified and leaked after a very public hearing about Monarchs involvement with the MUTOS in Janjira.

Maybe that's what the mercenaries are for? People are so afraid that these monsters could wake up that the mercenaries are sent to eliminate them before they can wake up and that in effect does actually wake Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidora?

The timeline actually explicitly refers to the events of Skull Island: The Birth of Kong. That makes me more confident that this comic's continuity won't end up being as dubious as Awakening.

Visit Wikizilla.org, the encyclopedia of Godzilla, Gamera, King Kong, Toho monsters and more that anyone can contribute to.

TheTruthIsOutThere-Sweet to see that you have a ton more credibility added, and I personally can't wait for Comic-Con.

Dubious, you say, The King of the Monsters?

I don't know........ these images from their Instagram seem to support Awakening's inclusion in the continuity.

If it wasn't clear enough before, it should be abundantly obvious now that there WERE multiple nuclear bombings.

Yeah yeah yeah, have fun there Gowhaletours.

So anyways, what do you guys think of that new info? It looks like efforts have been made to include the comics into the overall continuity.

Dud, just ignore him.

Godzilla Generations was a beautiful game! I loved the fact that there's a laser cannon inside of Dr. Serizawa's eyepatch.

I don't think those images support Awakening's inclusion at all the movie acknowledges there were multiple bombings.

 

As for the timeline. If you stop it at 4-5 seconds on the Mission Skull you can read or infer most of that message, on the Great Smog of London. Mainly that it came from giant wings

See, that WOULD be a pretty fair point, Im Durp........... Except for ONE niggling detail.

General Douglas MacArthur.

He was first introduced into the MonsterVerse canon via Awakening as the lead military figure heading the nuclear kill missions against the M.U.T.O.s, Godzilla and the Shinomura. Here, we see confirmation that his missions are indeed within continuity, authorized by Truman himself.

At the very least, Awakening isn't simply being ignored. It looks as though it's becoming the The Incredible Hulk of the MonsterVerse, not often referenced directly but still canonical to the main continuity.

So they're taking bits and pieces as reference and incorporating that, that doesn't make the whole thing canon. I can give you plenty of examples of noncanon things being used to inspire canon making small elements part but not whole works.

At the very least, can we count Awakening as "not entirely non-canon"? Because I'd like if we could agree on that one to have a more complete timeline.

I'l concede that it's clear they know about it and will probably use it where it is convenient to fill in gaps that were unknown. Because of how hard they're avoiding outright referencing certain big parts of the book I don't know if I'll ever throw it in with the full canon as things are right now.

Isla de Mona....The Doll's Island. Are we sure it has to do with Rodan and not Mothra?
