I love the PACIFIC RIM movies even though most people say they suck.

But it's a series. No giant monster belongs in a series.

So can Kurt Russell use his THING powers to take over something as big as
Godzilla?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch:_Legacy_of_Monsters

The series follows members of the organization Monarch as they encounter Godzilla and other monsters,
known as "Titans", over the span of a half century, following the events of Godzilla (2014).

Following the epic battle between Godzilla and the MUTOs that leveled San Francisco and the shocking
revelation that monsters are real, two siblings, following in their father's footsteps, uncover their family's
connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters
and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw, taking place in the 1950s and half a century
later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga — spanning three generations
— reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

Might be cool, depends on whether we get to actually see the monsters punching each other,
or will they cheep out on the CGI and only provide glimpses obscured by rain.

Maybe I frequent the wrong neighborhoods, but lately I've seen very
little "cheeping out" on F/X that 10 years ago would've broken the
budget of any non-blockbuster production. Stories may be as lame as
ever, but quality fantasy visuals seem to be a plentiful commodity.

I've only found a couple of images from the tv show and the most common,
is a predictable quick-glimpse-in-the-rain pic, which allows for cheeper
CGI costs.

But hopefully we'll get more and better shots on the show, the last flick
(Kong vs Godzilla) was pretty good but then that was a theatrical movie.
