Does Andromeda have 9 lives? Is she a cat?

#monsterdon
#ClashOfTheTitans

He's thirsty because he's standing next to a thirst trap #monsterdon

I normally watch the movie Picture-In-Picture in a corner of the screen but I put it to fullscreen to enjoy stop-motion Pegasus.

The compositing/rotoing is better than Krull, I don't know what that says about either movie

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "the most beautiful stallion in the world!" "but thirsty!" 🤭

"...if you're thirsty, your flying horse is thirsty."

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Pegasus got cleaned up quite a bit between takes. Must've flown through a few rainclouds. #Monsterdon

Flying horses are better with flaming hooves. Less wind resistance than wings.
#Monsterdon #ClashoftheTitans

#Monsterdon

Here, I'll pee in this cup for both of you

#monsterdon

@b no less effective than the man Pegasus must outweigh by about 10 times, wut wut

#monsterdon

would you call it an.... ITALIAN stallion? #monsterdon

he's not the only thirsty one in this film

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

This is going to go to his head. Pretty soon, he’s going to think he can kill Medusa. #monsterdon

@srol Unlike the mortal characters and demigods in this film, you are the architect of your own suffering. #monsterdon

This scene did not need to be day for night. Why did they bother? #monsterdon

I wonder what Ammon's cat is doing now #monsterdon

Between the self-centered hero, strung together myths, and silly rotoscoping, I see why the claymation is so memorable. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon these optical mattes are _great_ for 1981

you mostly have switching between closeups on Harry and wide shots of the animated horse + animated Harry, with not too much time on any one cut to notice what's wrong with it ;)

modern CGI stuff would do one giant swooping long take and you'd rolf your lunch up

And the flying horse will enable re-spiriting Andromeda how?

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@msh I can only assume there's a set of toggle switches that he configured offscreen

#Monsterdon

I hear a peacock crying again!

#Monsterdon

Well now what? #monsterdon

Pumaman, he flies like a moron 🎵#monsterdon

I was alive and aware of television in 1981, but I never saw this. Wow. Harryhausen is a master!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Is this when Iron Man zooms out of a cloud bank?

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

quick, break into United Airlines commercial. #monsterdon

Confirming that we did watch this in high school English. I thought it might just be Argonauts but I remember Harry Hamlin's chin dimple and the Pegasus. We didn't have much to stand on complaining about special effects because the early 2000s were some of the worst for cgi. I'm more impressed now than as a teen who thought everything sucked
#Monsterdon

So.... Perseus likes it bareback.

And he likes them thirsty.

Good to know... good to know. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

Perseus needs some training in horsemanship tbh that is *not* gonna build trust

especially impressive since this was before the invention of the stirrup

#monsterdon

Unrelated to the film, my movie snack of sour patch kids has left chemical burns in my mouth. #monsterdon

There is some _very weirdly distinct_ surround in this mix

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Dude, did you not bring an apple or some sugar lumps to this horsenapping? #monsterdon

This invisibility helmet is kinda weird like his clothes go invisible but the rope doesn't like is there a distance limit or something? #Monsterdon

Very weird to just watch while sleeping spirit girl gets caged by giant magic vulture?? #monsterdon

He’s flying so high he’s got a Star Trekian theme.

#Monsterdon

Well this seems like a good way to fall to your death.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Nice flex #monsterdon

Let's ride - into the TriStar company logo!

#Monsterdon 💥 #ClashOfTheTitans1981

And he misses.

#monsterdon #clashoftitans

@moira @Taweret Yeah, and we're still teaching it to children #monsterdon

That’s 45 year old movie MAGIC!

#Monsterdon

A little branch is going to stop a flying horse?

#monsterdon

"Now press A to activate and jump on his back!"

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

#Monsterdon oh yeah, tie him off to some driftwood. That'll hold 'im.

I hope it flies up in the air and wrecking balls him into that cliff back there. #monsterdon

Harryhausen really was the best #monsterdon

Perseus really needs a chin strap for that helmet #Monsterdon

when the camera can mysteriously only focus on the face or get a shot from waaaay the far back #monsterdon

@SnoopJ To be fair, Perseus's hair is like an entire 'nother head on his head. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

pretty sure Zeus is going to be mad if you choke his magic horse to death

#monsterdon

#monsterdon That's one freaked out horse.

#Monsterdon ⚔️⚡🔱🗿🛡️😱

They better credit Pegasus.

Next up, Perseus spending six months taming the pegasus and teaching it to bear a rider.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

y'know if you think about it, if you're trying to get a horse to help you, sneaking up on it while invisible is probably not the best tactic

#Monsterdon

@Taweret But "Creepy Behavior" is on the #Monsterdon bingo card...

If I was Pegasus I'd take him up 30 meters or so, and...
#Monsterdon

wreck 'im, Peggy. #monsterdon

hm. non-invisible rope. That may be worth filing a bug report for the helmet

#Monsterdon

yeah yeah we all played BOTW

#Monsterdon

Hm. Okay, so the helmet turns Perseus's clothes invisible, but not the rope. Maybe because it was handed to him after he put the helmet on? Pers, try rebooting your helmet, see what happens. #Monsterdon

i want to be the guy who is strapped to side of the horse facing away from the camera who flaps the wings when they do the live action pegasus shots #monsterdon

It's a mailhorse. Can't you see it's little balls?

#monsterdon #confused

pegasus is cute :smolpatcat: #monsterdon #scheduledMonsterdon

#Monsterdon Wait, didn't the bird just steal her?

consent is not a big thing with Perseus #monsterdon

Technically Pegasus came from the slaying of Medusa, and Bellerophon rode it not Perseus.

#Monsterdon

Not every night do you see a sleeping soul get tricked into a cage by a reanimated taxidermy vulture.

#Monsterdon

I can't with this helmet that is nowhere close to fitting on an adult head

awesome stuff

#Monsterdon

Minotaur, Pegasus, Kraken, Zeus, Perseus, Andromeda, Aphrodite. These folks took like 8th grade ancient history textbook, tossed it in to a Large Language Model, and filmed the result.
#monsterdon

I thought this was an MGM picture, not Tri-Star #monsterdon

Just like Zeus not to invest in proper stablehands to care for Pegasus. Dickhead. #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @Taweret Did the Greeks even have that word? I've read this mythology.

#monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Has Perceus never encountered a javelin or a sling? Ah, the solution is a pegasus! How silly of me 😅 #Monsterdon

I appreciate that they are avoiding showing the whole horse as much as possible so it can wear the wings less

#Monsterdon

"hey! it's the Tristar creature!" #monsterdon

#monsterdon Pegasus is a boy horse. Hurr hurr hurr. Just like Perseus... hurr hurr hurr….

pegasus flapping his wings but also moving his feet in the air reminds me of puppies that "swim" when you hold them over water

#monsterdon

He didn’t actually touch her creeping in her bedroom while her soul was elsewhere so he’s not as bad as his dad. The bar is so low. #monsterdon

@nazokiyoubinbou @Taweret yup me too

#Monsterdon

Even Harryhausen couldn't make day for night work. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

@arrjay MAGIC HELMET!? #Monsterdon

TRI-STAR Pictures!

#Monsterdon

Poor pegasus

#Monsterdon

@Taweret He never learned the Greek word for consent #monsterdon

Look! The tristar logo! #monsterdon

Pegasus probably has to spend a ton of time watching this puddle to see when the moon falls on it

Sounds boring

#Monsterdon

Speedrun Greek Myths any% #monsterdon

honse
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I tell you, it's a good thing that so many people around Perseus know the plot, become sure doesn't.

Perseus is God-like in his level of bewilderment at least #Monsterdon

I assume now that he's back he'll get the sword that was kind of uber important, right?

#Monsterdon

More Harryhausen flying in! #Monsterdon

The vulture of consent is here to teach Perseus a valuable lesson.

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Another creature that flies through the air, probably. #Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans

Fuck yes, Pegasus!

#Monsterdon #ClashOfTheTitans1981

Perseus and Pegasus! They're made for each other

#monsterdon
#ClashOfTheTitans

I have no idea why this would be shown to middle/high school students #monsterdon

He can't resist the Andromeda strain #monsterdon
