| 11 | The [=MonsterVerse=] is an American media franchise and [[SharedUniverse shared cinematic universe]] that is centered on a series of films featuring [[{{Kaiju}} gigantic monsters]] roaming on Earth, most prominently {{Franchise/Godzilla}} and Franchise/KingKong. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | While each entry varies in terms of plot [[SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness and tone]], three constant elements were commonly featured: the existence of the Titans, gigantic ancient monsters capable of [[{{Terraform}} reshaping Earth's ecosystem]] just as much as [[GaiasVengeance it reaps chaos everywhere it goes]]; an [[LastEpisodeNewCharacter ever-shifting cast of characters]] caught in the chaos caused by these creatures; and the presence of Monarch, a [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction secret worldwide organization]] sought to uncover the many mysteries regarding the Titans and [[FantasticNatureReserve accordingly deals]] [[CreatureHunterOrganization with them]]. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The movies are distributed by Creator/WarnerBros and produced by Creator/LegendaryPictures in partnership with Creator/{{Toho}}, the Japanese studio that [[TropeCodifier codified]] the Kaiju genre and owns most of the well known Kaiju [=IPs=]. The SharedUniverse is expanding in streaming series format as well on Creator/{{Netflix}} and Creator/AppleTVPlus. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Interestingly, the franchise has given Toho enough confidence to throw their hat back into the ring with making new Kaiju movies, introducing the Reiwa Era of their old ''Godzilla'' franchise with ''Film/ShinGodzilla''. |
