MonsterVerse Show Can Pay Off Godzilla: KOTM's Mecha-Titan Tease
Apple TV+’s Godzilla show can pay off Godzilla: King of the Monsters’ Mecha-Titan tease. A hint in the Godzilla sequel revealed the existence of a robotic monster in Godzilla and Kong’s cinematic world. Interestingly, this creature is not APEX’s Mechagodzilla.
Obviously, the idea of a mechanical monster is not a new concept for the Godzilla franchise. In addition to Mechagodzilla, Toho has utilized a number of giant robots in its kaiju films. The MonsterVerse added its own take on the idea in Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong when it unveiled Mechagodzilla as its main villain. Thanks to a power-up from the secret Hollow Earth energy source, this manmade Titan proved itself powerful enough to beat Godzilla himself. Thanks to some much-needed interference from Kong, Mechagodzilla is no longer a threat to the MonsterVerse. However, that doesn’t mean humanity’s problems with Mecha-Titans have ended. Robots of similar design and stature could be introduced in future MonsterVerse installments.

The subject of this claim could finally be explained in Apple TV+’s Godzilla show, especially since it will take place before King of the Monsters.
