"Solidified electricity!"

Fancy name for molded plastic :P #Monsterdon

Yeah, a handwriting machine is much easier to make than a typewriter.
#monsterdon

luckily the alien language is completely uninflected, #monsterdon

show off that Bryn Mawr degree, Nancy, hell yeah #monsterdon

incredible how the aliens also have a wordlike language where sequences of phoneme can be mapped 1:1 to discrete semantic units despite them being an atemporal species where time would probably not be the most intuitive way to arrange a language #monsterdon

This early prototype of the Vision Pro needs some design work #monsterdon

@Taweret Weirdly savage for a technologically advanced species. I liked it :D #Monsterdon

PLAZZ HANDS!

#Monsterdon

That early computer looks like the MANIAC from "The Magnetic Monster". #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

These dudes have a real lo-fi Sontaran vibe

#monsterdon

Did that UFO just poop people? #Monsterdon

oh wow they're building a vacuum tube computer on a giant piece of platform just like usagi electric on youtube! they _are_ an advanced civilisation!

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

What’s this about constellations? Is it giving them their horoscope? #Monsterdon

Look, it makes gibberish!
#monsterdon

IT'S HEX! FROM DISCWORLD! #monsterdon

lol, aliens burning our forests, just leave us to do that lads.....

#monsterdon

@splott yes but from context he seems to be dead, or at least still braindead? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers The war escalates and the saucers start blowing things up and starting forest fires with their Somewhat Larger Satellite Dish.

Back in the Science Board Room, we discover that the alien suits also have a translation kleenex in them. I'm not sure why they have a tiny translation kleenex in their suits but need a giant one for their conference barn. Maybe the larger kleenex stores more languages or something.

Air Dancer Aliens https://lookourway.com/collections/air-dancers

(or as I used to search duckduckgo to figure out what they're called, "wind sock guys")

#earthvstheflyingsaucers #Monsterdon

TBH, our spacesuits on alien worlds will probably be about as useful as the ones on these aliens.

#Monsterdon

Here - you can have your brain-sucked father and the policeman back.

#Monsterdon

rear projected forest fire, I love it #monsterdon

THat's MRS DOCTOR MARVIN TO YOU
#monsterdon

It pooped some guys again! #monsterdon

Those aliens look like the bad robot from The Black Hole. Coincidence? I think not!

#Monsterdon

we've harnessed the power of all these foosball tables

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

I was sure Dr. Marvin was gonna get into the alien suit, and try to sneak aboard one of the ships.

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Not to worry, our pollution will kill them soon enough

#monsterdon
#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

this is a really cool sequence i have to say

#monsterdon

Why are you taking that helmet to the lab when there are flying saucers to shoot down?

#Monsterdon

Wow, alarmingly good "destroyed plane" footage

#Monsterdon

Stiff as a board? #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Noooooooooooo! #Monsterdon

See this is what I was talking about #monsterdon

mrs. marvin, of the martian marvins

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

The armor is light as a feather, but they only took the helmet.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers Alien dude lands, isn't sure what to do, so he phasers an old guy with a cane.

After getting the war crimes out of the way, he then remembers his job and shoots a truck that I think was carrying the ray gun.

Then he gets shot, and we reveal he looks like a wrinkly arilou before vanishing into the ether. Professor Dad says that the alien was really old and the space suit must be a electromechanical suit based on no evidence other than wrinkles.

Yessssss gross!! They didn't know we'd decide Greys don't have noses, but otherwise ahead of its time

#Monsterdon

hiiighwaaaaaay to the dangerzone #monsterdon

flying away from the forest fire, nice scene - but really that whole thing was awfully nice, the aliens are legitimately not fucking around

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

did that saucer just blow up the giant ant sugar factory? #monsterdon

So, only canes are able to withstand the alien death ray.

I have a plan.

#Monsterdon

Oh no, they blew up the paint company!
#monsterdon

Finally! Aliens! #monsterdon

The aliens are Jedi?

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Dropping the bodies from the saucer: Total "Fuck You Stern Letter To Follow" #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

good thing they called in that bomber.
#monsterdon

humanoid, ancient, wooden #monsterdon

DUDE they dropped the bodies straight out of the saucer? _Hardcore_.

Welp, I guess they didn't promise to give those guys back ALIVE....

#Monsterdon

okay the alien actually looks pretty good too

#monsterdon

Apparently nobody caught on to the fact that having two arms, two legs, and a head might imply that the aliens were humanoid

#Monsterdon

Wibbeldy Wobbley flying saucer! #monsterdon

I like the force field fx especially #monsterdon

Oof, someone's not getting their extraterrestrial Smokey the Bear Safety Badge. #Monsterdon

Mmm the ray leaves the scent of fresh potpourri. #Monsterdon

"Don't jog too fast, we only have 15 feet of soundstage!"

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

ACK ACK!!
#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

Briefly looked like lost flying saucer person wanted a hug. But no - arms were outstretched just to fry the boffin... #monsterdon

THat armor is about as effective as star wars stormtrooper armor.
#monsterdon

There's some great carnage in this one. Saucers don't fuck around. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

the little shuffling aliens are so goofy

#Monsterdon

So…what sound guy made the decision that our super weapon thingymajic was gonna sound like a stalled out car? #monsterdon

oi oi, grandpa was just out taking a walk, no need to vaporize him. rude. #monsterdon

Wow, the actors in those suits can't see a goddamn thing, huh #monsterdon

Loc-nar sighting!
#Monsterdon

next time on Dr Who #monsterdon

this is actually just showing at the drive-in, they're catching a peek over the wall

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

St. Elmo is here for his fire.

#Monsterdon

Maybe don't just stand there while the stiff-limbed alien lines up his shot. #monsterdon

Maybe it's just their faith in Russ, but I feel like I would *not* stand in front of an experimental weapon, even if I thought it was highly directional. #monsterdon

“Humanoid and Ancient” is my favorite KLF song. #Monsterdon

@apLundell The bearings they used were provided by the low bidder #monsterdon

Wow, an American scientist happy to share the glory with other boffins. That's how we know it's fiction.

#Monsterdon

Aaaand of course they self clean. #Monsterdon

"Humanoid and ancient" and in the bath too long. so many wrinkles. #Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

exo-skeletooooooooons

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

luckily these aliens are only extremely advanced and omniscient in some areas and completely oblivious in others #monsterdon

E.T. got left behind!!!! #monsterdon

the saucers seriously look so good tho

#monsterdon

Go home space aliens, you're drunk #monsterdon

@aburka
Always pleased to have domain experts participating in #monsterdon

Would the aliens be more or less effective at their assigned tasks if they had elbows? #Monsterdon

The aliens can bend space and time with magnets and sound and download our brains but they haven't figured out knees and elbows or kevlar for their space suits #Monsterdon

Aliens: "We could conquer your world, but we don't want to. We'd rather start diplomatic talks."
Humans: "Let's kill them all, I guess?"

#EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers #Monsterdon

Wait they have death rays *in* their arms?!

#Monsterdon

bro they left that poor little domehead guy behind that is so fucking rude #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh, so the aliens weren't interfering with the generator somehow? It was just a shitty generator? Fantastic. Good work team.

i heard you were looking for an earth-shattering KABOOM!!

#Monsterdon #EarthvstheFlyingSaucers

Exterminate!
#Monsterdon

That alien is hammered. #Monsterdon

Ever thought of burying a steel cable and as they get near it. Pull it taut and trip the clumsy buggers. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon, maybe the flying saucers would make less noise if they didn't spin so much.

"help me."

#monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

Got distracted by a loud disturbance outside and now I have no idea what's going on with #monsterdon. Looks like a very intense laser pointer?

good shot!

#Monsterdon

HA, alien walking out of the building like MY FUCKING RIDE! #Monsterdon

Yes, let's make a concrete mine and watch it from a distance of 10 feet.

#Monsterdon

"...hope they haven't spotted us"
"do you think we should have covered up the generator truck?"
"oh shit!"

#Monsterdon #EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers

luckily for me I was able to punch @uptownsongclub in reality #monsterdon

@Lazarou Perhaps this is related to the whole "existing between time" thing

#Monsterdon
