Wait which part would you like, the date part or the monster-free city part #Monsterdon

#monsterdon This is a cool shot.

#Monsterdon chewing open a subway car seems like one of the hardest ways to eat a human.

No, “don’t be dumb” was the right response, shoulda stuck with it #Monsterdon

I want to be able to simply tuck all my limbs into my shell and rocket-spin away whenever I'm displeased with a situation. #monsterdon

if you or a loved one lived in or near tokyo during the gamera refinery explosion and later developed any of the following cancers, you may be entitled to financial compensation

#monsterdon

Thank you, random human child. #monsterdon

#monsterdon

You created Gamera, now you got two problems. #Monsterdon

Oh no he’s on his back! Word is that’s bad for turtles! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

It took some searching, but I tracked down the song from the English credits. #monsterdon

"Gamera Always Wins"
Music and vocals by Charles Campbell
Lyrics by Matt Greenfied

He flies like a saucer
but he’s not from outer space.
He came here from Atlantis
to save the human race.
To save us from our folly,
to save us from our sins.
Put your money on him now, ‘cause
Gamera always wins!

Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.

The giant Gyaos attackin’.
He’s seen in Tokyo.
Well, Gamera is comin’
to tell him where to go.
He’ll flame our evil monster
with his great breath of fire.
Gamera will protect you
no matter where you are.

Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.

[Instrumental]

Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.
Gamera, Defender of the Universe.

Gamera was great. Thanks again to @Taweret for organizing!

Hope we can vote up more Gamera in the coming weeks 🤘😁

#monsterdon

calling up the “gamera: guardian of the universe” (1995) end credits song at karaoke #monsterdon

I don't know how I expected this movie to climax, but "High noon quick-draw shootout with kaiju laser breath assisted by a teenager's sympathetic magic" was a pleasant surprise #monsterdon

Cool kaiju don’t look back at the explosion #monsterdon

“We can help the good giant monster with the power of positive thinking” is one of my favorite kaiju tropes #Monsterdon

gyaos is like "AIN'T NO WAY" #monsterdon

[whistles mash theme again] [finally] #monsterdon

good thing we got close to the danger! so we can…stare awkwardly…at the destruction… #monsterdon

You''re gonna need a infrastructure bill. #monsterdon

this is a quality kaiju battle

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Good thing the girl didn't also feel the effects of falling thousands of feet onto concrete.

"I'd like to take you out in a monster-free city" Smooth operator, this guy #monsterdon

"Peter Thiel has stated that people-eating Kaiju are a minor problem compared to his wealth." #monsterdon

Nice shot idiots. But yall just built Gyoas a nest!
And one of the best silhouettes in kaiju media.
#MONSTERDON

"Now there will be some peace and quiet in this town", said Godzilla.
#MONSTERDON

@KanaMauna But if you must, please install a kaiju alert app on your phone #monsterdon

Never take a train in Japan. #monsterdon

yum, canned food! #monsterdon

The good news, the kaiju is non-binary.

The bad news, the kaiju is a Von Neuman machine that eats people.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I wonder if the taxi driver is starting to wonder if there might be some trouble about taking a highschool girl into the middle of the wilderness. (Where she immediately gets injured.)

Nice cinematography: red AND green blood in the same scene #monsterdon

Amazing #Monsterdon

@videograndpa Heartbreaking: most casually sexist character in movie has a really good point

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon "Mt Fuji? Look kid, this is a Taxi. Local service only."

If they just put enough beef carcasses out for the Gaos maybe everybody could just live in harmony and we wouldn't need Gamera's guardianship #monsterdon

as Mr. Rogers said, when you watch a kaiju movie, always look for the wavers #monsterdon

I bet cranes would totally eat people if they were big enough. Birds are assholes. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Quote of the film : "Cranes don't eat people!"

Put that on a t-shirt.

you'll believe a turtle can fly #monsterdon

the news anchor's shoulderpads can also be used as a flotation device #monsterdon

this situation is so ridiculous we can't do anything further without Government Approval! #Monsterdon

I like the newscaster stumbling over "giant monster," it's really not a phrase you expect to utter on camera #monsterdon

this is some classic kaiju chaos right here. very old school

#Monsterdon

Someone definitely came up with the plot for this movie while bored at a baseball game in this stadium and I respect that. #monsterdon

There should be a bit where someone starts desperately firing baseballs at them with the pitching machine. After all, it can't hurt can it?
#monsterdon

Hello, I'd like to order your largest seed bell please. Oh, no, that's too large #monsterdon

Does japanese law allow conscription of ornithologists for national security purposes #monsterdon

Ah I love him. He's just so good at being funny without actually being the focus of comedy. I'm am still shocked he didn't start out as a stand up comedian.
#MONSTERDON

ah, a pulsing obelisk in the msyterious, moving turtle shaped island

im sure it's fine

#monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social
After all… it happens #Monsterdon

@jepyang He kind of sounds like Paul Lynde #monsterdon

Is bird guy as ridiculous in all the different dubs? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon If you need to "Chart the atoll's course" there's a chance it might not be an atoll.

"That's alotta shit..."
THE SHIT IS PEOPLE!!!
#MONSTERDON

the gamera franchise giving us what the godzilla franchise refused to: giant piles of kaiju crap

#monsterdon

You don't believe a bird did all this! It could have been...two birds? #monsterdon

that must've been one ANGRY bird #Monsterdon

I wasn't expecting the word "turd" in my sub
#Monsterdon

There he is. That's my boy doing some good physical acting. <3 Yukijirō Hotaru
#MONSTERDON

Hideous mutant birb #monsterdon

non-interference? the prime directive? here?! in japan?! #monsterdon

fwiw I’m watching #monsterdon with Japanese audio and English subs as usual. so leave me alone duolingo

What an atoll #monsterdon

So weird to have #monsterdon with it so sunny still outside

that plutonium transport looks very secure :)
I'm glad it's being handled so responsibly!
#monsterdon

This is my #Monsterdon thread 🧵

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Controversial, but the people have spoken #Monsterdon

@ryan I do really want a more contemporary take on beach party dance contest kaiju

#monsterdon

@Taweret so thanks to @Jo i am now aware of a UK dub of this movie where they also replaced half the music with techno?! here's an article about it https://www.thegutterreview.com/kaijus-for-the-lads-the-techno-hype-of-the-1995-gamera-uk-dub/

i might have to watch this version soon too lol (it's on archive.org as well)
#monsterdon

I was previously only familiar with the MST3K cover #monsterdon

"Thank you to all you fools who watched our masturbatory fantasy, about murdering people in the name of Christ, in theaters." #monsterdon

Hello everyone from ADV. Long time no hear your delightful voices.
Well most of you Tiffany and Amanda still pop up in things I watch.
#MONSTERDON

@moira I guess Gamera needs to cruise around a while before powering up enough for aerial stunts #monsterdon

Thanks for the #Monsterdon a thon @Taweret
The Gamera movies are still at the peak of kaiju movies even two decades later.

"Industrial Smoke and Mirrors"? #monsterdon

I like the 90s glam rock theme over the end titles #monsterdon

Gamera is a Fire Elemental in a half shell.
DECAPITATION!!!
#MONSTERDON

night night! this end credits song is kind of a banger #monsterdon

@ancient_catbus I don't even participate in #Monsterdon, and I'm still loving it!

@ancient_catbus

Gamera returns in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once II #monsterdon

@ancient_catbus PoTayto PoTahto #monsterdon

@msh @Taweret The only open question is whether the #monsterdon fans will vote the other installments up for next week

And now...
Special Beam Cannon vs Kamehameha!!
90s Godzilla movies did beam struggles, but Gamera does it way cooler.
#MONSTERDON

thanks for another great #monsterdon all! not previously familiar with this era of kaiju movies at all but I really enjoyed it

And that's it for this week's movie! Thank you so much for choosing these, @Taweret , this is becoming a highlight of my weekend! #monsterdon

Gamera,,, will return,,,

Thanks for another great #Monsterdon @Taweret !

@ryan The lesson is that the only surefire way to stop a bad kaiju is with a good kaiju #monsterdon

I love how the eating people from a train, Gyaos sitting on a tower, Gyaos loosing a foot, and many other things in the flick are ideas taken from the old `70s Gamera vs Gyaos. But are executed so much better.
#MONSTERDON

ah, that was fun. great job again team #monsterdon and thank you for hosting @Taweret ! ^_^

@Taweret thanks for hosting! #monsterdon

there could be gyaos eggs anywhere! or not. it’s science! #monsterdon
