#Monsterdon Noooooo, Giussepe!

@jonny I would think if the elephant really understood, it'd join up with the Kaiju and head off to eat some plants or something

At a nice restaurant

With a candle burning lower... and lower...

#Monsterdon

RIP Elephant
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Was that monster carries human?

Ok, I laughed when the paparazzi got crushed. #Monsterdon

Stampy no :( #monsterdon

Awww. Poor Jumbo. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

All those pyrotechnics was an unforced error #monsterdon

"For hours"? You've been randomly throwing grenades into the river for hours? #monsterdon

by amazing coincidence, elephant noises translate to "fuck you" in venusian. conversely, the venusian's roars translate to "your mom stinks" in elephant. hence the conflict #monsterdon

DUMBO, NOOOOOO #Monsterdon

you can't leg sweep or armbar an elephant that is just disrespectful #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Nooooooo, elephant!

i don't know, but i think this elephant is being kind of a dick in this fight. #monsterdon

what we have here is a failure to communicate...space godzilla cannot understand elephant's thick Sicilian accent #Monsterdon

Rasslin. #Monsterdon

our venusian buddy going for his sekiwake in today's tournament, facing a tough opponent in elephant!

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth #sumo

All the comments with the #monsterdon hashtag have me really confused right now.

Italians are pathetic at kaiju fleeing. #monsterdon

@brucetheknife @lorgonumputz True, and there is some stiff competition in that regard

#Monsterdon

oops, sorry about your car, bro. #monsterdon

This is an excellent fight but I am pro-monster and pro-elephant...

Why can't you get along???

#Monsterdon

Aquaduct? Don't mind if I do?

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

"It'll kill hundreds, maybe thousands!"

...Or you could just leave it alone, seems like mostly people get killed when you let the US Army be a dick at the beast. #Monsterdon

evacuation scenes! <3 #monsterdon

surviving the trip over the Alps, just to get your ass handed to you by a dirty Venusian
#monsterdon

With that "Run away!!" I have a #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon

elephants immediately understand the gravity of the situation and know this is their fight too #monsterdon

"If it isn't stopped it'll kill hundreds, maybe thousands"

Clearly extrapolating from the <checks notes> maybe one it's killed so far

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Movie elephant: "Hold up-"

Now that's some good claymation elephant wrasslin'!

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne That only makes the elephant 10 feet tall though (using the average male height of 5.6 feet). They should've held out for a 3 foot tall actor. #monsterdon

Spoiler: Stop motion elephants always snuff it in Harryhausen movies. See also The Valley of Gwangi #monsterdon

So it has no heart or lungs, but it does have fibrous masses to keep the venusian poisons out of the lungs it doesn't have? Am I getting this right? #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

he wasn't fighting that elephant, he was trying to pat it on the heat. the monster wants to be friends. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Noooooo, zookeeper!

I did not have space lizard monkey / elephant battle on my bingo card. #Monsterdon

@JoeWynne Would have been better if a three-footer were available #monsterdon

I miss classic frogmen from an era where you just had a mask/tank and a speedo...maybe a knife/dive watch. #monsterdon

I don't know what actually made that noise the elephant is supposed to be making but Hanna Barbara used it a _lot_. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

wasn't the creature bigger a minute ago?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon -- what was the "Speed Indicator" thing?

most zoos don't even have a giant electrical kaiju examination lab, this is why Rome is knowm as the Eternal City #monsterdon

#Monsterdon This elephant's like, "I can take that bitch."

"A series of tubes" ... Oops, careless work there taking out the entire lab's power network and releasing our poor Venusian giant lizard, I guess they should have been MORE CAREFUL #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

hell of a way to figure out you needed a UPS and backup power #Monsterdon

Run Away!

#monsterdon

I'm suspicious of the elephant's motivation here

#Monsterdon

Photographer!

#monsterdon

All the zoo animals are yelling, "it's a humanpede!"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon That Italian scientist just shouted, "Live! It's alive! It's alive!" Is his name Frankena-steina?

@Taweret He can't be killed because he has no lungs.

Any scientist will tell you that lungs are the only thing vulnerable to gunfire. #monsterdon

G'morning, sunshine! Who wants to run amok? Is it you? Is it YOU!? Whosagoodboy, go eat Rome :D #Monsterdon

I don't think it's safe to set up all your apparatus underneath it until you know whether it poops #monsterdon

What did I miss? The interaction between Captain Asshat and Dr-Almost-A-Doctor had my eyes rolling so far in my head they got stuck in my neocortex. Took a couple minutes to regain my sight. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

Hey, I'm watching the elephant here!!!
#monsterdon

uh oh, the sparks got out of the spark containment unit #monsterdon

#Monsterdon -- high-heels on the platform. Good choice, woman almost-a-PhD.

"Get that elephant out of there!" #Monsterdon

The creature is a series of tubes... #Monsterdon

‘Member when synthetic sponges were cutting edge technology? #Monsterdon

The power can't just go out. There has to be dramatic sparks and smoke. #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow jinx coke etc

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"...it has a series of small tubes throughout its whole body"
"OMG, the creature is the internet!"

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

@Louisa The Shape of Water
#monsterdon

the creature is a series of tubes. yes, this is science

#monsterdon

"A network of small tubes" The creature is made of Internet!! #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

a network of small tubes. so it has an internet?

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

"I've been cooking over a hot creature all day"

Get it? Read between the lines, colonel, I'm in love with the lizard. Beat it, chump

#Monsterdon

That "Speed Indicator" was going pretty fast for nothing going anywhere

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

It has no lungs? So let's not speculate about what is making its chest rise and fall

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon -- the size. I was told women weren't impressed by size. Hm.

Is that a 100 mL+ syringe? The draw on that thing will break your wrist!

(I used a 50 mL this week, which is a very rare occurance and even with positive pressure that's hard!)

#Monsterdon

very unlike paul to take his time calling a lady back. #monsterdon

I could understand their confusion - since they're in Italy, Venus naturally would refer to the Venus de Milo #monsterdon

Screw the romance sub-plot. #monsterdon

a burning candle

and that candle's burning lower

and lower

and lower

until it sets your pubes on fire

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

@SRLevine lol I dunno but why not make that a thing

#Monsterdon

Was it a sex nightmare? #Monsterdon

These two are absolutely going to sneak in and do the nasty by the creature when everyone leaves. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Ugh, please stop with the romantic subplot -_-; #Monsterdon

@apLundell who needs to actually see the animal from Venus!! No one
#monsterdon

so they're continually electrocuting our baby is what you're saying, keeping the muscles contracted so he can't move but not quite enough to kill him

the trials will not take long at all once the alien authorities arrive

#monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

One anesthesiologist to keep the monster under. He's *clearly* going to fail at some point. #monsterdon

Electrodyanmometer?

Did I hear that correctly?

#Monsterdon

cut to the chase, General Infodump #monsterdon

"...any secrets from the creature?"
"It only said it was our Venus, it was our fire, at our desire."

#Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

@jonny Maybe the skin is capable of containing extreme pressure, such that internal to the flesh, the boiling temp exceeds 800F. Of course, then I'd expect it to explode at STP. #monsterdon #20millionmilestoearth

@brooke Pretty sure none of this is consensual though

#Monsterdon

All zoos have powerplant/creature abduction facilities.

#monsterdon
#20MillionMilesToEarth

#Monsterdon And you thought Ambien was bad....

we have top men on the problem. top men. #monsterdon

@Taweret Turns out the monster's just a balloon? Man, the ONE time they DON'T use a rubber suit for a monster! #Monsterdon

I 100% love those glasses. #Monsterdon #20MillionMilesToEarth

Whoa, those are some cat eye glasses there.

#Monsterdon

@paco Maybe the creature thought it was a tablecloth for its meal. #Monsterdon

Cat's eye glasses gives me a bingo #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 imagining basic cellular reactions in a steam-based cytosol and i am into it #monsterdon

Wait a constant potential of 1800V keeps it unconscious? Does that even work? (do I even really want to know)

#Monsterdon

Dr. Erdhardt?! Before going mad?!
