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!
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 πππ #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
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. Weβve had a few βmonster destroys islandβ movies lately #Monsterdon
[SWORD] #monsterdon
@socketwench In Japan insurers donβt just need an βact of godβ clause, they need an βact of kaijuβ clause.
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 βgotta destroy the city to save the cityβ 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
huh, looks like they're bringing the party to us but I don't see how that's a party #monsterdon
These are some REALLY good models though. #monsterdon
toy cars
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 Theyβve tried ground assault, air assault, water assault, and fire assault. Itβs time for heart assault. #monsterdon
should we keep letting the high school kid keep psychically influence the kaiju? yes? we should? you sure? okay
thatβs 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
"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
Gotta blow up a famous landmark! #monsterdon
I though you said those missiles never miss? #monsterdon
βwellβ¦you gotta admit, they got us goodβ #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
@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
Donβt 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
thatβsβ¦not how the trolley problem is supposed to work #monsterdon
Itβs all our fault that we awoken them. #monsterdon
some more good, old school kaiju chaos. nice model work too
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
@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
