The rest of Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild’s runtime features Aiden and Julius - the Geralt lookalike Guild Hunter who saved Aiden - trying to stop a rampaging Teostra before it wipes out a valley’s worth of villages. Before the Velocidrome can finish Aiden off, a more seasoned Hunter swoops in and takes it out with ease - a feeling that any new Hunter who has played with seasoned friends is well aware of. But unlike in a Monster Hunter game’s early missions, Aiden’s Velociprey hunt gets interrupted by a Velocidrome, a much bigger version of the raptorlike monster. Every Hunter’s journeyĪiden’s journey starts just like many players’ stories, with him hunting a small, relatively harmless monster. And while the 58-minute film is messy, it nails that early Monster Hunter feeling of being new to the hunt and eager to take down some big critters. Elder dragons are serious threats, and Aiden has a story from his past to tell his new Hunter friends, to illustrate why they should be afraid.Īiden is a side character from several of the Monster Hunter games, but Legends of the Guild follows a much younger Aiden, a kid from a small village who wants to be a Guild-sanctioned Monster Hunter - just like players are in the game franchise. Aiden doesn’t run his fingernails down a chalkboard to shut them up, or wax poetically about doll’s eyes, and he’s a 20-something redhead, not a surly old fisherman. On a ship sailing to a new world, excited Hunters chat about how they’ll take down the elder dragon Zorah Magdaros. In a frame story bookending Netflix’s short animated movie Monster Hunter : Legends of the Guild, one Hunter, Aiden, takes a page from the veteran sailor Quint in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws.
