once again, not birds: birds don't have X _or_ Y chromosomes. #monsterdon

Mmm. Sympathetic injuries. His blood is her blood.
Asagi is the high priestess of Gamera. Guiding and helping him in his war on the Dracula birds.
#MONSTERDON

"It's like the obelisk foretold." There's a line I need to use more in everyday conversation. #monsterdon

@msh If they're so perfect why aren't they vegan? #monsterdon

omg the gaos eating noises

#monsterdon

Life, uh, finds a way #monsterdon

Gaos transcends gender with its genetic perfection #Monsterdon

"But if it can be both sexes at once, that means one Gaos can reproduce by itself!"

Clever girl. #monsterdon

@Taweret Are they closer to Galapagos tortoises or snapping turtles? #monsterdon

@strangefour THERE'S some Spike Spencer for you. #monsterdon

“look, elephant in the room, we’ve all seen Jurassic Park” #monsterdon

Gaos is non-binary. This is the most inclusive kaiju movie ever! #monsterdon

But what does SEELE think of all this? #monsterdon

this guy really hates turtles #monsterdon

The Corsican Kaiju #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Quick shot at Godzilla there.

"All units open fire!" I swear that was Texas Shinji.
"Ahahaha! I always wanted to do that." Taxi man is living his best life.
#MONSTERDON

That shot with the missiles was pretty great though. #monsterdon

miss! MISS! Wake up! My fare is still unpaid! #Monsterdon

So what is Gamera eating? Veggies? #monsterdon

I'm going to assume that in any of the military HQ/conference scenes, the music is diegetic, because its funny. #Monsterdon

That taxi driver is charging her a triple rate isn't he?
Tank time! With a jaunty little theme song.
Gamera rising up next to Mt Fuji is a great visual.
#MONSTERDON

TURTLE DOWN! #monsterdon

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. #monsterdon

That taxi driver's favorite movie is "The Blues Brothers" #monsterdon

@msh DIdn't even look like she paid him when they got there #monsterdon

…do you think that was enough missiles? #monsterdon

she better give that taxi driver a big tip! #Monsterdon

have to miss out on #monsterdon tonight, but it's for a good cause - corraling some donations to charity.

Have a great time!

WHY YOU HURT TURTLE!?
Big government are big jerks.
#MONSTERDON

lets run over to the kaiju the military is firing missiles at

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Wait, what?

Why did the taxi go through the barricade?

Because a highschool girl told him to?

kaiju defense provided by kawasaki!!! #monsterdon

Shouldn't that be "light 'em up?" #monsterdon

"don't be stupid! Can't you go see a movie or something?" is an incredible burn on the civilian trying to get closer to the kaiju #monsterdon

she explicitly did not ask you to do that!
#monsterdon

meanwhile, in blaine #monsterdon

@cheribaker Palate cleanse from The Mysterians #monsterdon

I want a kaiju movie where not only has Japan’s military not been inactive since ww2, but they actually have the most powerful military in the world as a direct consequence of frequent monster attacks

#Monsterdon

wait. those are real tanks. but this is a kaiju film. can you do that?

#monsterdon

oooh the masers aren't models any more! #monsterdon

loose lips sink ships, news muppet! what if gamera is watching your broadcast?! #monsterdon

So pretty much all the female characters have agency in this film #monsterdon

Gamera attack.
But he also protect!
#MONSTERDON

I love that the government officially names these things. #monsterdon

Fuck you Dracula bird! It's turtle time! BOOM!
#MONSTERDON

YES! The bridge! One of the best scenes in not just Gamera movies but all kaiju films.
#MONSTERDON

Gamera may look like a turtle but it is actually a distant cousin of the warthog #monsterdon

man you’re shooting a directed force energy beam RIGHT above our head #monsterdon

GAMERA IS FRIEND TO ALL CHILDREN! #monsterdon

Useless trivia: Asagi's actress is Steven Seagal's daughter. And 1000 times a better actor.
Also not a massive asshole or criminal.
#MONSTERDON

Seems like they cut corners on the wings to put more into the eyes dunnit? #Monsterdon

You know what would really fix things? A forest fire! #monsterdon

the question is, where does this era of kaiju movies stand on 1) dance parties and 2) caves #monsterdon

Aww the birdnots are growing! #MONSTERDON

Quick everyone run across the bridge that’s about to be destroyed. #monsterdon

i like the gaos design. i just wish their wings weren't so stiff

#monsterdon

MY BACK! #monsterdon

"Whooping cranes don't eat people!?"
Do they? They would if they could.
#MONSTERDON

Yes, run onto the bridge so you can get in her way & slow her down. #Monsterdon

I feel they should reconsider their investment in rickety pedestrian bridges in a land so prone to kaiju outbreaks #monsterdon

please make up your minds whether they're birds or not

#monsterdon

Huh. Gyaos rhymes with Chaos, with how it's pronounced in Japanese. I wonder if that was intentional in the original 70s film.
#MONSTERDON

Hey fellow kids, let's blow off class and go into an active fire zone! #monsterdon

@funkula cranes don't eat people. people eat people! #monsterdon

“to fly this combat jet!” #monsterdon

@moira Not to be confused with lesbian-people eating monsters #monsterdon

Have they tried de-gyaosing it? #monsterdon

Cranes don't eat people! #monsterdon

you mean they're lesbian people-eating monsters? #monsterdon

Gauss did everything, why not weird bird creatures. #monsterdon

This guy sounds like every stand-up comedian’s impression of a white guy circa 1998 #MONSTERDON

The town alarm sounds like a guy banging on a metal fence #monsterdon

Reminded of one of my favorite absolutely not okay Inhumanoids bits: #monsterdon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la1FkjQF4xE

Was that shinji saying the monster was cool? Hmm maybe not. But it was a familiar voice actor.
Do not interupt a good dinner! Even when talking about apocalyptic monsters.
Wait... is she talking about runes in Dragon Quest? Final Fantasy? D&D? nah! Call of Cthulhu is way more popular in Japan.
#MONSTERDON

@apLundell Like the kid in Jurassic park who knows Unix #monsterdon

“oh that’s fine…we just invoked an ancient artifact to generate energy by speaking the kaiju’s name…probably nothing to worry about” #monsterdon

@apLundell most of it was lost when AO1 went down. Happened about the same time as Alexandria. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon I can't wait for her knowledge of "fantasy games" to save the day at the last moment.

@odd Somebody call Brandon Sanderson, quick #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Nobody cares that the metal thing glows when you say "Gamura"?

@odd there are too many subgenres of music already i swear #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Did Plato write about ancient Japan a lot?

A new kind of metal?
#Monsterdon

“yeah you didn’t read that part did ya!” #monsterdon

Someone tell Matt Stoller about Big Kaiju. #monsterdon

They said Gamera! #MONSTERDON

Gamera is, to paraphrase the Iron Giant, "Superman"
Up up and away!
#MONSTERDON

@funkula They should have woven nets #monsterdon

Oh now we're blaming inflation on GAMERA to cover for corporate greed. #monsterdon

Well that was a REALLY thick Texan accent from one background character looking at a giant turtle in horror.
Sing little Gyaos! SING OF DEATH! Sing until your voice is a blade of death.
#MONSTERDON

Spin stabilized monsters. Cool. #monsterdon

No, I'm pretty sure gamera had nothing to do with the failure of the trap plan, you forgot to close the dome, the entire point of the whole thing, and they easily escaped the cages #monsterdon

immediately trying to think of funny green screen replacements for this shot #monsterdon

The metal comma has smart speaker technology #monsterdon

Okay, that rippling breath weapon effect is really cool #monsterdon

Lmao wtf was that #MONSTERDON

Is this one of those movies where they never say “Gamera”? #monsterdon

AW yeah. Spinny Rocket Gamera. That's the good stuff. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh no. If you say "What a scoop!" in a monster film, you die for sure.
