Overall, Monsters and Hunters take damage a lot more seriously(arguably realistically) than they do in the games.Adaptational Badass: The film shows feats of the hunters that are far stronger than those in the Monster Hunter games show even in cutscenes or are not present there, such as Julius slaying a Velocidrome in one strike with Dual Blades (noted for using Death of a Thousand Cuts instead of single deadly strikes), the Ace Gunner firing her Heavy Bowgun while running full tilt, and the Insect Glaive user Mae riding her Kinsect like a surfboard.To stop the impending devastation, Aiden becomes a rookie Hunter and teams up with Julius's squadron of elite Hunters called the "Ace Hunters". When a solo expedition to track a monster leads to him biting off more than he can chew, he is suddenly rescued by Julius, the Ace Commander, who has arrived to warn Aiden of an Elder Dragon migration that is threatening to destroy his village and everything he loves. Set sometime before the events of 4, the movie follows Aiden (Dante Basco), a young man and aspiring Hunter living in a quiet village in the Old World. The movie sheds some light on the Ace Hunters from Monster Hunter 4 and serves as an Origins Episode for Aiden, the Ace Cadet of the Ace Hunters who reappeared as the Excitable A-Lister in Monster Hunter: World. Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild is a 3D animated film directed by Steven Yamamoto, co-animated by China's Base FX and Malaysia's The Monk Studios, and based on Capcom's massively popular Monster Hunter franchise, released on Netflix on August 12th, 2021.
