@Louisa quick acceptance of βthe new normalβ #monsterdon
okay gamera getting swarmed by alien bugs is kinda horrifying
gotta get all the roots, Gamera knows how to garden #monsterdon
ohhhh thatβs some good fire effect #monsterdon
@socketwench I'm not even watching #Monsterdon this time, and I chuckled at this.
NARRATOR: It wasn't just dolphins. #monsterdon
Yes, these are quality practical effects #monsterdon
Your excess oxygen is Gamera's fuel.
Gamera gamer fuel.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon "Where the hell has he been?"
I dunno, maybe he expected you to solve your OWN problems!
Gamera's randomly breaking crap because he's annoyed. "WHy do I always have to take care of the monster?" #monsterdon
I've heard of red shitting jpgs out with artifacts but it causing a full on blackout was a bit too much #monsterdon
that is some damn nice model work tho
Gamera is permanently in pissed-off mode #monsterdon
@Taweret That's just science. #Monsterdon
oh thank god gamera's here he's really neat and full of b/e/a/n/s/ meat #monsterdon
turtles and alien mushrooms are natural enemies
I love Gamera's wing mode. He's just slowly evolving new tricks each movie.
#Monsterdon
"Where the hell's he been?" #monsterdon
Gamera all like "hoomans gonna eff everything up better go set it right then" #Monsterdon
knows how to make an entrance #monsterdon
*loud hard drive noises* #monsterdon
#monsterdon "Be sure to confine the attack within the tunnel!"
like, don't attack in completely the wrong place.
try to hit something htis time! #monsterdon
Itβs when youβre on a recurring first-name basis with various kaiju that you really gotta question whatβs going on in the world #monsterdon
So last week, we:
* determined that #Gyaos are canonically #NonBinary
* #Gamera has been claimed by #TeamAce
* and an argument has also been made that #Rodan is #EvilTwink coded.
Unidentified Flying Turtle!
He is here to eat some greens.
#Monsterdon
OUR HERO HAS SPUN ONTO THE SCENE!!! π’ #Monsterdon
loved the ants live documentary moment #monsterdon
I like the idea that the SDF is subordinate to the highway department #monsterdon
that's not bogie, that's gamera! bogie's been dead for years! #monsterdon
@apLundell Probably had a spare in storage #monsterdon
IT'S OUR BOY AND YOURS
#MONSTERDON
"Unidentified object approaching. Appears turtle-shaped" #monsterdon
Oh shit... has anyone ever seen Akira?
THAT'S GONNA BE A BIG BOOM.
And the air is fat with oxygen.
#Monsterdon
Nothing would survive. Not even the beer brewery. #Monsterdon
to be fair i just got here and haven't gotten a sense of the role of gender in this universe, but the pink fuzzy sweater vs. blue coveralls suggests are are en heteronormia #monsterdon
well what do you wanna do, NOT blow up a giant mysterious alien mushroom in the middle of our city? that's nuts
#monsterdon Oh hey, they fixed the tower.
@BDA π€«β
#monsterdon
I, too, am always computing one estimate of maximum damage #monsterdon
not impressed by these evacuation shots tbh, last movie at least had some gridlocks, not just a moderate pedestrian stream neatly contained to one sidewalk
#monsterdon
YES MA'AM SIR #monsterdon
I feel like this "blow it up" plan may not work as they expect. #monsterdon
Damn these Hallmark Kaiju movies are all the same #monsterdon
@cheribaker "Is it behind your left ear or your right ear?" #monsterdon
I gotta say, it seems like weβve somehow achieved a pretty good majority sync for this weekβs #monsterdon
@Taweret what, it's not like a monster has ever gotten stronger from being blown up right?
#monsterdon
"That thing that's growing downtown, that thing we call... The Pod"
#monsterdon
@Taweret Whatever it is, it MUST die, this is something we know with absolute certainty, unlike what it actually is, which we know with zero certainty. #Monsterdon
Looks like someone in film development messed up the roll. #monsterdon
How would a giant flower that sends spores into space reproduce...
HOW WOULD IT REPRODUCE!?!?!?
#Monsterdon
"What color?" DETAILS ARE IMPORTANT, MAN! #monsterdon
we don't get a lot of winter kaiju movies tho so all the snow is kinda nice
sittin here drinking coffee, being tactical, checking this shit out with my binoculars #monsterdon
#monsterdon Of course their best science expert is the lady that runs the planetarium show.
In these movies' Japan can only have one scientist.
we don't know what it is or what it's doing but we're gonna blow it up
what could go wrong?
so that's 2 for 2 of these gamera movies where how the kaiju fuck is plot critical
#monsterdon
were those ants inside of that microscope??? does she just grow them in there???? #monsterdon
"So... The big plant thing that's growing downtown, the thing we're calling 'The Pod'..." #monsterdon
is this the chattanooga choochoo? #monsterdon
@ryan It always comes back to the mushrooms. #Monsterdon
All of a sudden a nature documentary breaks out #monsterdon
#monsterdon going mushroomcore
I love army guy who talks like Tommy Lee Jones. #monsterdon
Dude's not even gonna try peace huh #Monsterdon
Are they ignorant of the glass eating plot point? #monsterdon
@Louisa i thought i ran out of buffer lmao #monsterdon
time to just use a montage, we donβt wanna actually have to shoot these shots #monsterdon
nice monster heat pov #monsterdon
That was your plan?! "Get 'em?!" #monsterdon

"It's not normal. duh." #monsterdon

#monsterdon "It's not normal."

That music video by System of a Down is pretty boring #monsterdon

is that really weather for pink tights #monsterdon
A- Hey remember when Godzilla vs Destroya ripped off the offspring attack of the american Godzilla movie while ripping off the velociraptor attack from Jurassic Park?
B- Yeah.
A- What if we did that, but better and actually fucking scary.
B- So Aliens.
A- Yeah basically Aliens.
#Monsterdon
I hope all these flashlights don't have glass lenses #monsterdon
SPLORT woah that was some way to meet your end π¬ #Monsterdon
#monsterdon oh yeah, there's some more sweet 90s fashion.
#monsterdon The beer was untouched but the bottles were gone? How did you even determine that?
Ha! I was right! #monsterdon
