okay that movie ended strong tho

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

My work is done here, you figure out how to pay for the infrastructure repairs. #monsterdon

Lmao when they ask the studio for a sequel in the script #monsterdon

@Taweret At least the railroad companies seem to be off the hook #monsterdon

damn right he will, it's a whole trilogy!

#monsterdon

They could be hatching RIGHT NOW. #monsterdon

im sure there aren't more monsters, that'd be ridiculous
#monsterdon

I must return to my people now. #monsterdon

Is there still a roaming atoll out there? Or was that Gamera in fact? #monsterdon

@jepyang i always prefer the urban brawls, even though i know it must be way more expensive #monsterdon

Gamera has lots of teeth, but at least no cat ears #monsterdon

You ever have a kaiju sized headache?
#MONSTERDON

ooooh, _now_ she's signalling the monolith of jupiter, okay #monsterdon

yer man straight-up flubbed the energy-beam-off #monsterdon

and this is why the oxford comma is important #monsterdon

aw yeah, quality [pow] #monsterdon

With all those tons of CO2 going up into the sky this scene hits differently nowadays #monsterdon

Again the selective nature of the sympathetic wounds saves her life as she does not suffer from diving from space into an exploding refinery #monsterdon

Gyaos first acting job was as a Batman logo.
#MONSTERDON

mmmm yes more exploding oil refineries 🙏🙏🙏 #monsterdon

BY THE POWER OF TEENAGERS

and also fossil fuels i guess?

#monsterdon

Saved by the Magical Comma talisman! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I wonder if the girl feels the effects of falling miles and miles into an exploding gas refinery.

Falling from space, and still getting a direct hit on a refinery. #monsterdon

Thanks to that one adolescent, I'M BAAAACK! #monsterdon

Gamera's out of radio blackout. #monsterdon

GAMERA HAS A SHANK!
(that the special effects people just kinda snuck in there it wasn't in the script, they just gave him an elbow knife for fun)
#MONSTERDON

then they go up into space, then they blow up a refinery

this is great stuff

#monsterdon

wow body slam FROM SPACE Gamera doesn't do anything half way #Monsterdon

True Gamera stan, this psychic high schooler #monsterdon

Bad luck on what was hit by falling kaiju this time #monsterdon

A claw to the eye! In this Tokyo Street Fight there are no count-outs and no disqualifications. It's all legal! #monsterdon

I wonder if they do product placement with the landlord of the buildings. #monsterdon

I do really appreciate the urban setting, allows for a lot of fun models. We’ve had a few “monster destroys island” movies lately #Monsterdon

[SWORD] #monsterdon

@socketwench In Japan insurers don’t just need an “act of god” clause, they need an “act of kaiju” clause.

#monsterdon

Ironman 1 stole his limitation for high altitude flight from Gamera.
#MONSTERDON

see, everything explodes but it bulges first proves the rule here - you got the laser burst, but _no_ bulge, so _no_ explosion! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Psst! Gamura! You can SHOOT FIRE!

I'd have thought the Gaos would do more attacking with that shield bone on its head bu it doesn't look like that's what it is for #monsterdon

Oh! It's climactic fight time. No more time for chatter. Only massive miniature destruction!
AND AERIAL COMBAT!
#MONSTERDON

@Taweret Smol Tokyo really is delightful #Monsterdon

love all the street-level camera angles #monsterdon

Who has more “gotta destroy the city to save the city” energy? #monsterdon

@Taweret They could have had the showdown out on the Goto Peninsula but no, someone put up some major coin #monsterdon

@Taweret They've come a long way since that horse. #monsterdon

Side note: guess who's one of the kaiju coming back in the new Gamera: Rebirth?
#MONSTERDON

@bunnyhero Awkward #monsterdon

some really nice model work actually

#monsterdon

huh, looks like they're bringing the party to us but I don't see how that's a party #monsterdon

OH NO NOT AKIHABARA

NOT THE GAME SHOPS

#monsterdon

I think the artistic commentary on Tokyo Tower is a little thick here

also goopy

#monsterdon

These are some REALLY good models though. #monsterdon

toy cars

#monsterdon

Maybe don't give your kid artifacts from mysterious islands. #monsterdon

@jepyang @Taweret I thought they had dozens or hundreds of those comma dealies. Surely someone else has noticed something about them by now #monsterdon

@apLundell particularly the later shot with the sunset <3 #monsterdon

not only knocking the top off the tower but actually building a nest on its remains...THAT is how you own this town! #Monsterdon

@Taweret They’ve tried ground assault, air assault, water assault, and fire assault. It’s time for heart assault. #monsterdon

should we keep letting the high school kid keep psychically influence the kaiju? yes? we should? you sure? okay

#monsterdon

that’s also about the pour I would be throwing back with a kaiju at my doorstep #monsterdon

i am not joking i have been on that road it is a nightmare #monsterdon

ah, an air assault. yeah, we haven't tried that yet

#monsterdon

"Alternate side parking rules are suspended for the duration of the last ditch military action" #monsterdon

@apLundell i was just going to say that too! #monsterdon

so, basically a normal day on the freeway then #monsterdon

Awwww it has a roost

#monsterdon

Gotta blow up a famous landmark! #monsterdon

I though you said those missiles never miss? #monsterdon

“well…you gotta admit, they got us good” #monsterdon

tokyo tower always takes a beating in these movies #monsterdon

Dude, Gamera is not your b!tch #monsterdon

maybe if we just keep firing the exact same kind of missiles at it… #monsterdon

DEATH BAT! The Bat that eats... PEOPLE!
#MONSTERDON

Oh yeah, we should probably kill the bird thing. #monsterdon

Boy, that Walkman product placement really took me back #monsterdon

um, we did evacuate the city before we fired all those missiles into right?

right?

#Monsterdon

@strangefour Subtext is for cowards. #monsterdon

Fire guided missiles over an urban park. Sounds like a great idea #monsterdon

Ok, #Monsterdon, if #Gyaos are #Nonbinary should other #LGBTQIA+ folk start claiming #Kaiju mascots?

Who wants dibs on which?

Oh no, all that's left is a Walkman. #monsterdon

"I'd know more about it if it was actually a bird..." #monsterdon

Global climate change brings forth man made monsters.
The symbolism in kaiju films is as subtle as a sledge hammer and that's why I love them.
#MONSTERDON

Don’t attack over the city, just let everybody die. #monsterdon

Nocturnally? That bridge attack was in broad daylight #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial it's not, though. it's a very complex chromosome that propagates itself across #monsterdon

you know

a #memeatode

that’s…not how the trolley problem is supposed to work #monsterdon

It’s all our fault that we awoken them. #monsterdon

some more good, old school kaiju chaos. nice model work too

#monsterdon

Hermaphro-Gyaos! An unstoppable ancient bioweapon. The perfect killing machine. No excess waste in it's DNA.
#MONSTERDON

it's like the song about the lady who swallowed the fly but they got even more carried away #Monsterdon

The most incredibly natural dialog #monsterdon

:bing: adam curtis kaiju movie #monsterdon

@moira Also that chromosome looked like a nematode #monsterdon

Gamera vs xenomorphs, go

#Monsterdon

@moira True, and the males are homogametic unlike in mammals. So much biology didn't make it into the final cut #monsterdon

@trixter OH THERE HE IS! I am lagged. That is 110% Spike Spencer using his Shinji voice. Playing a nerd. Of course.
I LOVE that Gyaos has PERFECT DNA. The ultimate genetic creation. A living weapon.
#MONSTERDON

And to defeat Gamera, they created... #monsterdon

sign me up for that multi-day gamera sleep #monsterdon

@trixter That's what I was asking! :D #monsterdon
