IT FUCKED OFF INTO THE SEA! #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

I'm so perfectly lost I love it #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

Gamera is notoriously weak to CGI bombs #monsterdon

This is why you have to be cautious when your beatstick has Lifelink.

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

myth? oh no, it's a running gag

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

@jmelesky There was some speculation that because Gamera's hand got injured then her hand also got injured

Y'know, by magic

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Glasses guy: They can’t reproduce? Must be super rare! I sense a business opportunity!

uh, sympathetic bleeding? #monsterdon

ok yup.... Asagi mirrors all injuries to Gamera... STOP SHOOTING AT ASAGI #monsterdon

Yeeeep, that's why you don't psychically leash yourself to a giant turtle. What are they teaching kids these days? #Monsterdon

Keep Firing Assholes! #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

it's gotta be sorta surprising to gamera if this is the first in a reboot where she hasn't been around in like a thousand years that the humans can be blowing her up like this. she seems fine it's just like 'last time you were just using sticks and so you just chilled out and let me explain, but now that you have artillery you've changed' #monsterdon

Man that taxi driver changed his mind real quick #monsterdon

these are some cg missiles, mmmmyep #monsterdon

DELIVERING LIBERTY #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse #helldivers2

#monsterdon I hope that stunt guy was okay because he 100% got hit by the camera car or whatever they call it. Also taxi driver having a mental break is my new favorite character in this movie.

DELIVERING LIBERTY #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

Why don't you turn it over, Leon?

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Gamera's on his back Leon and you're not helping him up. Why is that? #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

surplus US tanks donated after Invaders From Mars #Monsterdon

As Frank Zappa was fond of saying, "It should be easy to see. The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe."

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Back in familiar territory, as no kaiju film is complete until the military wastes millions of dollars of munitions uselessly annoying the monster. #monsterdon

Finally! A properly mounted oscilloscope!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon (Attenborough narrates:) Here we see a cluster of wild Japanese tanks crossing the terrain. They are called here by instinct to engage with the large monster that has infiltrated their territory. Their concentrated efforts, however, are not as effective as they would hope, and they will have to change their tactics.

@Crazypedia I think the metal commas are collectables #monsterdon

Are you guys stormtroopers?? This thing is the size of a mountain and not ONE of those shots is gonna hit. Not even close #monsterdon

portable TV sets. This movie has everything
#monsterdon

gamera says, "you jerks!" #monsterdon

don't see Gamera flipper-blocking the artillery attack, does he need a full rest before he can do it again or something #monsterdon

i do kinda like the taxi driver :D

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon

Wow, the taxi driver is much more enthusiastic now! She must've been really convincing!

...Jesus Christ, where did she FIND this cab driver? #Monsterdon

Lots of manic dudes in this one. #Monsterdon

How the hell does modern weapons miss a fookin' big kaiju? #Monsterdon

This Uber driver deserves a huge tip.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

#Monsterdon Shibari watermelon! … who said that? 😇

Viewing area for tanks is over here...

#Monsterdon

You think the Taxi driver is suddenly having second thoughts about taking an unaccompanied young teen girl into a disaster zone?

#monsterdon

Nice try on the melty beak thing when the Gyaos scream, effects team. At least you gave it your best shot #monsterdon

Gamera doesn't seem to be physically injured by that artillery, just emotionally injured. #monsterdon

we got flares, we are NOWHERE near the monster, let's go #monsterdon

That's quite a lot of meaty detail on the inside of that Gamera suit's mouth. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Mothra has twins.
Gamera has little charm girl psychic scientists daughter.

Who knew D and D lore would be so useful.
#Monsterdon

Yeah there's multiple kiju attacking the cities but we still have to go to work I guess and my boss is going to be mad that the train's late

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

"...situation normal, sir"
<everyone gives side eye>

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

what? still no masers? #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

@paco the Oxford Rosary, friend to final exam students everywhere. #monsterdon

so that jeep was made in the 25th week of 2323 then

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

@trixter Pure Fire.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

Sometimes I wonder if all the JDSF does is appear in kaiju movies. #Monsterdon

Tanks for the memories #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

also they seem to have found background music. neat. #monsterdon

It's some kind of rosary now. She's praying to the comma, the apostrophe, and the semi-colon. #monsterdon

The Atlantean prophecy has foretold: the great turtle will arise from the sea and our story will be revealed by a chosen one with dumb braids #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe the seagal squint! #monsterdon

Someone had entirely too much fun with those anti-air loading shots #monsterdon

Somebody's goinna get sued for that foot-catching hole in the bridge #monsterdon

@jsadow debatable. #monsterdon

wait. was that a real tank?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “How come this fish costs so much?”

“It’s because of the monster.”

Yes, the monster of GREEDFLATION!

@jonny Don’t underestimate the Pentagon’s love of weird codenames! #monsterdon

So, do Taxis in Japan normally offer a service where they smash through police barricades into disaster zones? Do they charge extra for that? #monsterdon

they're coming...for the comma rocks... #monsterdon

"I have to go!"

Well, you're squinting really hard, why not. #Monsterdon

oh, well if you say you *have* to go, well then #monsterdon

Let me guess the young girl is the Gamera Whisperer. #Monsterdon

How many kaiju movies have mid air combat beteeen monsters? Are they all Gamera movies?
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

@sean I was thinking "Cliffhanger: Gamera" earlier lmao #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

@aburka There actually was some skilled parenting.

#Monsterdon

fuckin shot down in enemy territory, gamera gonna have to hitchhike back to base and rely on the kindness of probably the children since he is their friend according to what you all were saying before #monsterdon

Re: these movies making me want old niche tech: I did have a wee handheld TV as a teenager in the mid-90s. Once I used it to catch a new episode of The Tick while on a field trip! I technically still *have* it but it can't pick up anything because of the digital signal conversion.
#monsterdon

sir why are you pointing the radar at the ground #monsterdon

Tanks in the news feed, finally! #monsterdon #BINGO!

Working title, Top Gun: Gamera.

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

ah here we go, time for the JDSF to get owned

#monsterdon

ah, the time before the internet, when people had to gather around 3 inch screens as a group in order to get the information. #monsterdon

Now schoolkid has bruised knuckles. Did she clock someone while I wasn’t looking? #monsterdon

@Taweret

Cut that out!!!

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

"She chose the bird over you"

Same, bruh. same

#monsterdon

oh isn't that one of those sonic disturbance weapons that makes people shit their pants? #monsterdon

...You're gonna shoot a flying monster turtle. Okay, nice knowing ye. #Monsterdon

Bird thing used sonics.

It is highly effective.

#Monsterdon

"Gamera's on our side" is not going to go over well with the baseball team #monsterdon

Okay wait so. Gamera was injured so Asagi who is sort of channeling Gamera through the magatama is also injured? #monsterdon

they spend a long time giving the kaiju a real name in every movie, like i think in the US we would just call it something like "big dinosaur" and "jet turtle" and call it a day. #monsterdon

There I've improved the situation by making a whole other problem for you to worry about 🔥

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Wow that is a great TV lol #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

#Monsterdon The giant turtle to the rescue!

oh wow, 90s portable TV!

#monsterdon

@strangefour

...from "The Trouble With Tribbles"

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

“I can’t fall in love with you right now, I’m crushing hard on a giant rocket turtle” #Monsterdon

That man's playing Galaga. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Radar, we need more radar #monsterdon

look at mr fancy pants with his miniature television

#monsterdon

The miniature trees. The bridge. The low camera angles to indicate height and mass. The sound effects adding to that effect. The special effects in this movie are so good. Even the googly eyed Gjaos muppets work with the film making. Almost 30 years later this is still one of the best tokusatsu films ever.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

#Monsterdon

The all-important Naming of the Monsters.

Now how do you know Gamera doesn't want the tasty humans after himself? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I can't tell if this was the subtitle timing being messed up or _perfect_ but I can't stop laughing at this.

Keep going! Don’t stop to look at it! #Monsterdon

yeah gamera I know exactly how you feel

I burned my hand a little accidentally touching the inside top of the oven last week

#Monsterdon
