Why haven't they just tried a really big can of Black Flag? #monsterdon

ah, the classic blast catch, you hate to see it #monsterdon

ok kingshit, fuckin execute that bug
#monsterdon

"Why would we give a monster our help?"
"Because Gamera!!"
#Monsterdon

woah woah woah human weapons _doing_ something WHAT?

#monsterdon

Legion is just a single mother trying to raise her army of children and her city destroying house plant.
I LOVE the sliding fireball attack from Gamera.
#Monsterdon

Remember gamera, use aoe attacks against swarm type enemies #monsterdon

Y'know, I have a tennis racket from the hardware store that does the same thing. Maybe you could try one of those #zap #monsterdon

The Legion is really reminding me of the @sophiefrommars video about kaiju as hyperobjects. #monsterdon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6kc6hXm3LA

About time they do something #monsterdon

Gamera's on the bottom and is not into that #monsterdon

Gamera raises from his own ashes like a phoenix.
#Monsterdon The power of positive thinking and the faith of a thousand Kenny's have saved him.

GAMERA WOKE UP 😭 #monsterdon

this is a very subdued dub. please, sir. now's our only chance. *yawn* #monsterdon

Absolutely incredible miniature work and pyro, and gamera being re-energized looks exactly like he's being infused with the spirit of Christmas in a mid-80s TV movie #monsterdon

Man, don't do that! That's how you get Fukushimas #monsterdon

@moira Unfortunately the little girl bricked their only comma #monsterdon

Cue sinister music #monsterdon

oh god this guy needs an #honour!!!! infusion somethin' fierce

YES YOU HELP THE GAMERA goddamn

#Monsterdon

"Gamera's okay then?"
Yeah he's but the JSDF sure isn't.
Ewww she keeps her babies inside her own body.
#Monsterdon

@Taweret It's like the swallows returning to Capistrano #monsterdon

they did a great job making both gyaos and legion extra viscerally gross with sounds. bleh! #monsterdon

drifting by the queen blasting fireballs out the side of the window is the kind of pizazz the military will never be able to match #monsterdon

oh, the giant monster can command the swarm of millions of bugs

cool, cool

#monsterdon

gammie has _really_ worked on his straifing game. lots of time in aim trainer, clearly well spent

#monsterdon

okay so obviously there's a difference between the Japanese acting and the english dub, but im seeing people speak complete sentences in silence and then the dub starts after, am i having a buffering issue?
#monsterdon

More blood, red this time #monsterdon #merrychristmas

does this military even HAVE masers? it's fucking amateur hour around here i swear

#monsterdon

that's not actually him flying that's just, well... he ate a lot of those legion... #monsterdon

#spicy

Gamera: The Coming Out of My Shell Tour #monsterdon

a good old-fashioned kaiju campfire. for the kids! #monsterdon

NOOOOO her comma broke! #Monsterdon

ok hundreds of baby ones bursting from the chest now THAT is one helluva Alien #Monsterdon

look, tanks never work. have you tried using the Power of Friendship?

#monsterdon

Wait, now the legion can fly? they're totally boned #monsterdon

why are you, as a man, offering a beer to another man #monsterdon

@Taweret Legion Queen is even tougher than giant Frankenstein #monsterdon

THAT was 50%?? #monsterdon

Congratulations to the tank battalion on their recent engagement #monsterdon

shocking that conventional military weapons were ineffective against the kaiju

shocking

#monsterdon

"You get a beer as soon as we're done."
KIRIN FOR EVERYONE!
#Monsterdon

When the models have little flashes in them for electrical explosions. :blobcat_cute: #Monsterdon

SHE SAID "ONE MORE THING"
LIKE COLUMBO, MAN
#monsterdon

Gratuitous beer mention #monsterdon #kirin

#monsterdon

the Corn Center? got it #monsterdon

I don't know why they're farting around with these futile military preparations when they could just get Mr Miyagi to fix things #monsterdon

they're employing the self defence force so it must be some big fucking deal #monsterdon

@moira They'd have to lift them first. #Monsterdon

jesus honestly i'm surprised they can't kill the damn things just by hurling those CRTs at 'em. fuckin' LORGE #monsterdon

i would be honesly be much more scared of the Legion than pretty much any other monster we've seen in these. they swarm and they're creepy

#monsterdon

@bunnyhero These movies do hit a little different now, huh? #Monsterdon

@strangefour I love it, very reminiscent of the part of Shin Godzilla where he goes dormant. Since this director co-directed Shin Godzilla I'm sure that's no coincidence #monsterdon

@jonny #monsterdon is a judgement-free zone

Bathhouses and naked men are very important to kaiju history. Hideaki Anno knew this.

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero they haven't invented the letter Q yet
#monsterdon

all the cuss words in this kaiju movie the 1990s were so edgy #Monsterdon

"Your mom wants you to be a hero." #Monsterdon

yeah your mom wants me to be her #monsterdon

not often you see a hat hallway these days #monsterdon

you can't say 'scared shitless' in a kaiju movie. gamera is a friend to children

#monsterdon

@moira The producer spares no expense #monsterdon

It's neat how many more actual vehicles they got for this compared to the older ones we've watched. #Monsterdon

hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat hat PEG hat hat hat hat hat hat #monsterdon

Gamera is really neat, gamera is filled with mea.. complex optics and photosensitive bits... and I'm being told that is wrong. #monsterdon

I would hate to be caught by the Legion while buck naked #monsterdon

tanks love refreshing Kirin (actually i can’t tell what beer that was) #monsterdon

Japan is under attack by nasty spacebugs and a city was obliterated and the hero turtle is presumed dead but everything will be fine lets just have a bath #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I hope they've got masers.

@Zerofactorial whoa am i watching the wrong movie #monsterdon

You Wouldn't Multiplicate A Creature #monsterdon

Naked dudes. Wasn't expecting that #monsterdon

Last movie was Gyaos on the remains of Tokyo Tower.
This one has the almost corpse of Gamera as it's amazing signature visual.
#Monsterdon

This lady has an enormous apartment by Japanese standards #monsterdon

butt! #monsterdon

I'm sure gamera will be just fine #monsterdon

"So what do we do with this information?" "Uh..." #Monsterdon

One thing about this movie that does confuse me is that way too much of it kind of makes sense, particularly for a kaiju flick. #monsterdon

enhanced their freaking secret pheromone key right out of thin air #monsterdon

fuck this shit I'm outta here digs a tunnel #monsterdon

I believe that moment in the downed helicopter between the two young ladies was a qualifying Bechdel pass #monsterdon

in communist japan, death hits gamera #monsterdon

@Taweret It must be so bittersweet putting all that time and effort into them and then blowing them up. #Monsterdon

oooh maybe pushing over the big fungi thing wasn't the best strategy Gamera #Monsterdon

Thank goodness Bill Clinton is on board #monsterdon

they made and destroyed so many great models for this movie. i love it

#monsterdon

"impact to economy might be limited" there are already freaking rich people trying to cut deals with the bugs #monsterdon

Gamera should be walking away from the explosion wearing sunglasses and not looking back, not DYING #monsterdon

I love a good newspaper montage. #Monsterdon

unexpected Giuliani cameo on this week’s #monsterdon

#monsterdon "invisible"?

well it's good the effect on the economy is limited #monsterdon

Flaming alien spooge #monsterdon

Heavily injured. Bleeding. Slowly walking. But Gamera has a job to do!
FUCK YOU SPACE FLOWER!
#Monsterdon

"Fuck this mushroom!" -Gamera probably #Monsterdon

this really is just an extravaganza of different pre-CGI techniques, almost as if they knew the era was ending soon and they wanted to do a bit of everything #monsterdon

@Taweret “ah, it’s doing what appears to be a ‘charge up’ maneuver, i bet that’s probably good, for me,” #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Same with kittehz! #monsterdon

are we going to get a 'resupply and re-arm' montage where the humans build an extremely high tech and dope cyber shell for gamera to defeat the bug #monsterdon

She has a gun? SHE IS A GUN!
Gamera no! 😭 He lost a chunk of shell...
He got his ass kicked twice already.
Hey again Asagi.
#Monsterdon
