THIS MOVIE silently engages with the problem of gender throughout, where the motivation for the devil girl from mars is having killed all men in a "war of the sexes" which is NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. the men then display a range of behaviors that provide the SILENT backstory to the war of the sexes - criminality, sealion scientist, being hella annoying, etc. THE ENDING is a very literal tragedy for women, where through sheer bluster and dumb luck men overpower even the hyperintelligent, hyperadvanced women from mars, and then proceed to ignore the deep trauma experienced by the woman standing not feet away from them #monsterdon

Naia being Karen O before it was cool

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

me to children:

#monsterdon #bestOfMonsterdon

this robot reminds me of something…

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

wait actually she says this in her opening expository dialogue so fast you probably missed it. she is here for two reasons, to get a man, and also to test the metal that her ship is made of, and explicitly says that it being too unstable is an option and if so they will just send more spaceships. so in the text of the movie the sacrificed man actually didn't destroy the thing at all, it just self destructed. so the movie is actually entirely about the relationship between the escaped from prison guy and the paired woman character, about how even if you overcome overwhelming odds, the forces of the universe will come and rip the thing you love away from you for no purpose #monsterdon

OMG that’s the tiniest of miniskirts and she’s got legs for miles.

that cape though…

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

when the movie ends i'm going to make a "devil girl from mars but it's only the devil girl" fan edit #monsterdon

if i was in this movie it would last 5 seconds because my ass wants to get abducted and being abducted by extremely hot latex suit devil girl is just about the best case scenario #monsterdon

we all fucked into the void of the interstellar sea on our first #Monsterdon of 2025.

thank you @Taweret@octodon.social and the monsterdon gang for this first hotassmess of the year.

now i have an urge to work on my pliés.

btw Patricia Laffan, who played the Mars Devil Woman, was an interesting person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Laffan #monsterdon

HEAR ME OUT!

She Devil Of Mars is just the post-WW2, post-Holocaust, totally nihilistic version of Song Of Bernadette

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

Alas, no bingo for me, but I loved the robot and the stern latex martian lady. Fun pick!

Goodnight, monster people. Thanks for the laughs!

#monsterdon

i genuinely have no idea who the men are, as far as i'm concerned there's the scientist guy and the rest of them are all the escaped criminal guy #monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social I think the tension was that the movie was an obvious fetish but could not show us anything that 1950s audiences would deem too prurient, so the premise that made the author horny was relegated to a framing device. #monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

That was a wonderful example of 1950s B-movie scifi. Small cast, forced relationships, a dumb kid. some pretentious babbling about people's hubris, no actual understanding of science, and a sudden ending. Classic.

#monsterdon

“watch the power of another world”… and it takes 3 eterneties for the garage door opener to open the damn door.

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

again the villain in the movie is just gender. #monsterdon

scientists believe so many things that we can't perceive with our own senses, in fact almost every thing is something we can't perceive with our senses #monsterdon

and now we all will have a drink!

ON THE HOUSE

*everybody throw back their heads and break into laughter*

THE.

END.

🧐 🤨 🤬

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

fan editing this movie and there sure are a lot of non devil girl scenes in here that literally nobody asked for #Monsterdon

gurl, she’s leaving you cuz you ain’t got Naia’s legs nor ride

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

Also, a possible winner of the Worst Alien Strategists Ever award is the martians in #DevilGirlFromMars, for only sending one dominatrix to conquer earth, somehow having their spaceship destroyed by an unarmed guy and only taking one prisoner on their mission to repopulate their home planet.

On the other hand, they probably also win some kind of award for being snappy dressers. #monsterdon

so much monologuing…

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

the devil girl from mars has done absolutely zero reaching out to the earth women. like if you just killed all men presumably you would have some tips and tricks or dire warnings or idk maybe ANYTHING AT ALL to say to the earth women #monsterdon

Who will get the Rose? 🌹 Stay tuned for The Bachelorette Mars! #monsterdon

oh snap, Devil Girl sashaying down the runway and literally killing with her looks.

she’s looking slick as fuck

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

the amount of alcohol in these british movies is really impressive. that silver turine ain’t shabby. we don’t use those anymore.

OMG THE SOUND OF THE FLYING SAUCER IS AWESOME!

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

You wouldn't believe how hard it was for that guy to collect firewood on moors since there are no trees

#monsterdon

welp, Naia left with her semen receptacle.… AND SHE EXPLODES?!?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! not The She Devil!

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

welp, the drunk guy stated the obvious “we done enough talking”

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

Shout out to the poor firewood guy who didn't do anything wrong, at least anything that the audience noticed, but got vaporized for his trouble.

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

man adapt your freaking tactics. she is a superhuman alien from a planet and she just finished wiping out all men in a battle of the sexes. maybe read the room a little and don't try and do hero man stuff #monsterdon

she has been doing a The Bachelorette with them this whole time and all the other guys fucking blew their shot #monsterdon

“I have come to do two things… 1. Get men 2. Get my steps in by walking back and forth between the ship and the pub”

#devilgirlfrommars #monsterdon

TIMESTAMP for the martian woman being confused by the scottish child #monsterdon

Every second of Martian Lady is worth five minutes of boring Terrans, it's like that planet in Interstellar....

#monsterdon

Every other scene: let’s cut too soon

Squealing UFO: let’s keep the squealing going for 5 more minutes

#devilgirlfrommars #monsterdon

"Arrogant Dominatrix from Mars" is definitely going into a particular mental folder, thanks #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Nothing like this has ever happened to me before."

"Nothing like this has ever happened to anyone before!"

"Why did it have to happen to us?"

"Well, it had to happen, sometime, somewhere."

DID IT THOUGH

OMG Naia also is a wearer of sensible boots. how much you wanna bet those are Solovair. that’s the real reason she was heading to London.

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

The old guy is a horn-dog
#monsterdon

In reality, the journalist would be trying to convince the others to kiss Nyah's ring

#monsterdon

science is basically seeing a normal looking room and being like "damn you must really have like a perpetual motion nuclear reactor thing" #monsterdon

@jonny look we don't know she doesn't want some willing human servants. none of these characters have asked

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Shit, you went through all five bullets. They work, so that's good, but now you're out of ammo and now, maybe just throw the metal gun at her? Or, perhaps, just take off your pants. She seems a bit unprepared for twig-and-berries.

@Terencio they don't make people like this anymore, what an Empress! #monsterdon #TeamDevilGirl

she does so much with that upturned eyebrow

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

Wuthering Heights + Song Of Bernadette + Las Luchadoras vs La Momia Azteca = She Devil From Mars

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

I think this film may have been a dig at feminism of its day (ya think?). But as far as I can tell, at the end of the film, the Martians still have better tech, more powerful weapons, and interplanetary travel. The only thing that the Earth has that Mars lacks is... dicks?

#monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social if this is how 2025 will be, so be it.
We're clearly in the Mirror Universe, might as well embrace it.

#monsterdon

The plot is a classic arch form in which we start with an explosion, end with an explosion, and nothing in-between.

#monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars

I really enjoyed that cheesy melodrama draped in vinyl/patent leather/Naugahyde 😂

it certainly packed enough plot in its 77 minutes #Monsterdon 🚀 #DevilGirlFromMars

#monsterdon and that's a wreck! The spaceship exploded in low earth orbit, presumably because Albert sabotaged it somehow. We have to expect that some of that explosion debris fucked off into the sea. None of the characters spend more than a moment lamenting Albert's demise, nor worrying about the entire planet of aggressors all exactly in the same situation as Naya. Oh well!

Thank you @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting! This one was really bad. Fun times!

The exploding ship was pretty impressive, did they overlay an actual high altitude atomic explosion for that?

Also, fuck Earth

#monsterdon

The hardest thing to believe is that none of the men WANT TO GO

#monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars

@SnoopJ I bet a ~45 minute long version of this movie could be good.

#monsterdon

Canonical powers of the #DevilGirlFromMars
1. appearing dramatically in doors and shouting "you fools!"
2. controls the ray gun
3. controls the rectangle robot
4. immune to bullets and electricity
5. mind controls people, but only sometimes
6. rocking an ominous cape
#monsterdon

She sounds like Agnes Moorehead when she speaks. #monsterdon

Naia comes from Mars and men are not what she expected. i relate to you girl, i relate to you.

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

it’s so weird how they hug in these movies

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

The power of going out of focus!

#monsterdon

Yes, the ship is a large pasta strainer. Checkmate, Earth Man. Behold the power of Martian fast casual dining supremacy. #monsterdon

She can't actually move her head in this set up, can she?

#monsterdon

The child boy decides to climb out the window to look at the flying saucer and befriends the murder-convict. Meanwhile, the #DevilGirlFromMars is giving the other bar patrons a demonstration of her planet's mighty power by pointing a complicated hand rake at her spaceship, which glows at her until her extremely rectangular robot awkwardly walks out.

It doesn't seem all that intimidating, but the Pub Goers Reactions and the Dramatic Orchestra lets us know that this is Terrifying. #monsterdon

The scientist walking into an invisible wall is actually realistic

#monsterdon

The invisible wall puts us firmly in No Exit territory. We're dealing with existentialism here, my friends.

#monsterdon

Is this a movie about an escaped convict who really should have gotten self-defense or manslaughter instead of murder?

(with a minor side plot about aliens)

#monsterdon

Never mind the noisy spaceship:

WHAT was in that giant soup tureen they were about to have for dinner?? 🥣

#Monsterdon 🚀 #DevilGirlFromMars

MOVIE TRIVIA: Asking if a woman is drinking something because of her weight is known as “negging” #monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars

Is it wise to let the American drive, a British car, on British country roads, at night 😬

#monsterdon

#DevilGirlFromMars decides to grace us with some boring but dramatic backstory, the convict guy married some girl other than the barmaid, and then killed her, and then escaped prison because he wanted to see the barmaid (according to him anyway). In the midst of this story, a small balding guy delivers some wood to the fire to save us from the rest of the story. The barmaid, who is dating a murderer, says that the balding guy gives her the creeps, making me doubt her judgement. #monsterdon

Remember, until the late 60s and decriminalisation of Working Class Accents, only posh people were allowed to act in British dramas.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the amount of latex in this movie is gonna be ridic. can’t wait to see all the fashion statements

❝ With costumes by Herschel McCoy, hairstyles by Sydney Guilaroff, jewellery by Joseff of Hollywood, and two pet cheetahs on golden leashes she was the most fabulous-looking character on the screen. Her performance as Poppaea has drawn considerable praise over the years. ❞

it’s so rare to see this kind of enthusiasm on a wikipedia page. lovit!

@Lazarou @Terencio

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars #TeamDevilGirl

just sending the first 22 minutes of the movie straight to the trash bin, nothing in there worth saving #monsterdon

that wasn't even the Author's Barely Disguised Fetish

that was Here's My Fetish: The Movie

#monsterdon

I think that was the most fetishy movie we've done tho

#monsterdon

And, thankfully the movie slowly fucked-off into its welcome end and ...

Nope, still going

#monsterdon

oh so he just figured it out like immediately #monsterdon

Having kidnapped its payload of (1) Earth Boy, the flying saucer starts glowing and spinning and takes off in a cloud of steam, awkwardly floating into the sky.

Hot Take: if you're going to kidnap some sex slaves to repopulate your planet, you might want a few more seats on your flying saucer.

#monsterdon #DevilGirlFromMars

@LK_877 well her costume designer did get his own credit in the opening titles 😂 #Monsterdon 🚀 #DevilGirlFromMars

Nothing like dying has ever happened to me before

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Five minutes left. If the plot shows up, perhaps it'll make some tea. After all, tea is perfect in a crisis, right? The plot will be definitely in-crisis.

She's 26? Are we supposed to believe that?

#monsterdon

I'm 26 and life has passed me by

okie

#monsterdon

@paco "did you know there are TWO 'northern lines' and they both go South?!" #monsterdon

TIMESTAMP TO CLIP I WILL SPARE NO ONE #monsterdon

Lol, did he just snatch the remote control....and then Martian Lady just stared at him until he returned it?

This Lady's style is Interplanetary!

"Because of his trickery you will all die"

She's Hans Gruber level of supervillain!

#monsterdon

they made sure to give this kid a big ice cream cone of lidocaine before they shot his scenes #monsterdon

I would also like to note that I expect the #DevilGirlFromMars to end her "fools I will conquer you all!" rants with some Villainous Laughter, but she never does. Instead she just kind of smirks. Which I guess I kind of respect, even if goofy Wicked Witch of the West laughter might be better? #monsterdon

How many whiskeys have these people had since events started?

This is starting to sound like they all got raging drunk and set fire to a barn....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon oh my gosh, that robot is a bunch of cardboard boxes and some duct tubing, this is amazing

#monsterdon "Now, earth-men, look! Watch the power of another world!"

_nothing happens_

"Oh hang on, there was a pending update, I just have to restart the Home Assistant daemon, one sec..."

“Now Earthmen, look. Watch the power of another world. Keep watching. Wait for it. Maybe take a seat. It’ll be here soon.” #monsterdon

“What if Monsterdon was horny?” -Everyone that voted for this movie probably

#monsterdon #devilgirlfrommars

"You poor demented humans"

You don't know the half of it lady

#monsterdon

American claims ownership of the first gun seen......sigh.....

Brits drink tea, America is a gun, Mars will prevail!

#monsterdon

"While we're still alive we might as well have a cup of tea"

It's a cliche....but it's accurate

#monsterdon

Mad to see Private Frazer as a slightly younger man

Loving the cape swish

I'm totally on Martian Lady's side.

Fuck the Terran Patriarchy

#monsterdon

"Organic metal"

Materials science does not work like that

#monsterdon
