Is there a timeline for the modern Monsterverse? I can’t find one anywhere, though I may just be looking in the wrong places
King Kong from King Kong vs. Godzilla is 45 meter-tall gorilla from Faro Island, while King Kong from King Kong Escapes is a 20 meter-tall gorilla from Mondo Island. King Kong from the MonsterVerse is a 31.6 meter-tall gorilla (later 102-103 meter) from Skull Island. I think you could just assume they're a near-extinct species of ape that are completely unaware of one another.Since Kong: Skull Island implies the government (or some other entity) has been covering up kaiju-related happenings, you could probably just BS the MonsterVerse in by saying all the attacks were covered up, and the ones that wouldn't've been covered up in time for the military members in Kong: Skull Island didn't know about attacks because they were too busy fighting in the Vietnam War…
I presume the King Kong backstory in this thread's Monsterverse is roughly the same as the original, though anything could've happened from then to Kong: Skull Island, so it could be possible there were just 2 King Kongs - they are shown to be a species after all, perhaps the reason that guy from WWII knew so much about the lore of Skull Island was because he witnessed the decline of the Kong species (I forgot what the species was actually called - that might be it though)
I don't see why the accident that made Godzilla huge couldn't happen twice, either - kinda like how there's countless variants of monsters in the Universal Monsters Universe
NGL, it does feel weird.It's humorous to watch Godzilla: The Series knowing that not only did Godzilla attack Japan in 1954, but Thor, Punisher, Thanos and Gorr exist. I mean, a Marvel crossover acting as a sequel to a movie that references a remake of a movie that it is a sequel to is pretty damn weird.
You can take It of you want @Pro Bothttps://www.thecomicboard.com/threads/monsterverse-timeline.15162/It's not really got any progress on it though. Maybe I'll make a timeline for the MonsterVerse, Shin Japan Heroes Universe and Godzilla Minus One one day, I don't know. We'll see.
Seeing as how Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is listed as a sequel to Godzilla (1954), I'd rather say that identical on-screen events from that movie occurred, meaning Godzilla WAS sent into two decades of hibernation by the Oxygen Destroyer. The idea of cutting off the entire final act from that film rubs me the wrong way. Just say that in that continuity, Godzilla didn't die from it. It doesn't matter because it's not connected to anything else.
- This Godzilla is often mistakenly confused as being one and the same as the Godzilla from the previous film, Godzilla 2000: Millennium, due to sharing the same design and many other similarities. However, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is set in an entirely different continuity from Godzilla 2000: Millennium, where the Oxygen Destroyer was never used to kill Godzilla in 1954 and he continued to appear at various points over the next half-century, while the Godzilla from Godzilla 2000 is the second Godzilla to appear in that film's continuity, after the 1954 Godzilla.
- Strangely, the Codex entry for this incarnation of Godzilla in the mobile game Godzilla Defense Force states that the Oxygen Destroyer was used against Godzilla, sending him into decades of hibernation.
Shōwa Timeline
This is the timeline for the original Godzilla film series. It includes Godzilla (1954), it's first 14 sequels from 1955-1975, Rodan, Giant Monster Varan, Mothra, Atragon, the two Frankenstein films by Toho, King Kong Escapes, and the Zone Fighter TV series.
Timeline Reasoning
In Godzilla, there is a direct statement of August 13th. An August calendar can be seen.
In Godzilla Raids Again, the newspapers in the film state 30-1-20 and 30-1-23, placing the movie in January 1955 based off of Showa years.
In Rodan, part of a two-digit Japanese era calendar year can be seen on the cover of a registry book in the Aso coal mine's engineering office. The legible text reads "-5 fiscal year", along with part of another kanji at the beginning which resembles either 2 or 3. The year is therefore either Shōwa 25 or 35, which equate to the years 1950 and 1960. A calendar in the JASDF Commander's office is turned to July and shows the month beginning on Saturday. The only Shōwa year which ends with a 5 and had a July beginning on Saturday is 1950. However, this must be out-of-date because the film features the Japan Self-Defense Force that was formed in 1954.
Giant Monster Varan is placed in its release year.
Mothra has calendars matching with both January 1961 and February 1961, but a newspaper suggests February 16th, 1962. This is assumed to be a typo and it was meant to read 36-2-16.
Frankenstein vs. Baragon begins in 1945 before having a 15 year time jump. There's another time jump to the anniversary of a character's death, and a calendar matches July 1961.
In King Kong vs. Godzilla, there are serveral newspapers indicating both June 23rd, 1962 and July 23rd, 1962, as well as magazines dated July 1st.
Atragon has calendars that match with November and December 1963. The prop for the newspaper reporting Mu's bombing of the Panama Canal contained an unseen date of December 11, 1963. A different newspaper, reporting a similar bombing in Hong Kong, has another story about the "new president Johnson," who was inaugurated on November 22, 1963. The Muans later state that their attack will occur at "24:00" on "February 10", placing the latter portions in 1964.
