@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!

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

#monsterdon

@Taweret

Cut that out!!!

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

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

"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

"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

Wow that is a great TV lol #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

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

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon The giant turtle to the rescue!

oh wow, 90s portable TV!

#monsterdon

@strangefour

...from "The Trouble With Tribbles"

#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

what happened to her hand? #monsterdon

Gameraaaa
is on my side, yes it is

#monsterdon

You think that in front of Bridge to run across by now.

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon Gamera uses fireball. It's super effective!

gamera says, next time put your kid on a leash, i don't need to come out here and save you silly people every single time. #monsterdon

Also, that reptilian not-bird totally just tried to laser beam some people. Don’t laser beam your food, kids. #monsterdon

@trixter flying/ground #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Umm. The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

@trixter Fire/flying. And I'm not 100% on flying.

#monsterdon

So far my best hypothesis is that "Guardian of the Universe" might have something to do with Gamera being signed to Cleveland #monsterdon

I got an Owie!!! #Monsterdon

"well now that we're off the bridge we can all stop and watch" #monsterdon

@blogdiva
Oooooooh...
I'm going to have to chew on this one

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

I dunno, seems to me Gamera isn't so much a FRIEND of children as he is just kinda incidentally around when children happen to be in danger. #Monsterdon

Gamera: "YOU MADE ME BLEED MY OWN BLOOD!"

#Monsterdon

I hear crying. Weakness! PREY!

#Monsterdon

OH GOD THE SMELL #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

So we know that Godzilla is Water/Dragon, and Mothra is Bug/Fairy, so what Pokemon type(s) is Gamera?
#monsterdon

flight mode 2 unlocked hell yeah #monsterdon

[crowd in unison]
A FRIEND TO CHILDREN

#MONSTERDON

dude's watch broke :(

can he sue the giant birds to get a new one?

#monsterdon

gamera is PISSED now
#monsterdon

The Gyaos breath weapon makes technological elements fail. Got it. #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

Did a reptilian not-bird just explode? #monsterdon

sonic...laser...beam...? #monsterdon

because gamera is…

#MONSTERDON

that is a _very_ unpleasant noise, movie

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

"The Japanese Ibis won't eat you"

Well, not with that attitude, they won't

#monsterdon

"THE BIRDS! THE BIRDS!"
Um sir, I think you'll find that those are vampire pterotactyles.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

oh damn, I guess Gamera won that showdown #monsterdon

@Taweret Gamera is kind of stiff too, not rubbery the way we like #monsterdon

noooo my limited edition orange croc
#Monsterdon #GameraGOTU

@ramsey "I want one bourbon, one scotch, and one beerrrrr"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The news reports and reactions to them are sending me. “… would be the first military action since…”. Yes, when your city’s being destroyed you should always place your reports in the larger context.

?????? #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

@msh In a sense I suppose both of them are "dinner is ready"

#Monsterdon

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a shoe.
#Monsterdon

something something gamera casts fireball #monsterdon

Turtle artillery. Ar-turtle-ry? Eh, needs work. #Monsterdon

Gamera uses Fireball. It's super effec... HOLY SHIT! #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Saved By The Fireball #monsterdon

wait until they find out John Hammond put frog DNA in the all female Gyaos......

#monsterdon

friend to children! ^.^

#monsterdon

Why are kids always losing just one shoe? #Monsterdon

and a shoe #monsterdon

Oooh did that kaiju snack on somebody? #Monsterdon

Saved by a Turtle Hadouken #Monsterdon

Ah the Rockets are for show, he flies like Superman apparently 🚀 🐢

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Run, trip, fall. Classic.

#Monsterdon

Five clangs of the bell means dinner is ready. Six means Kaiju Attack GTFO #Monsterdon

DON'T STOP ON THE BRIDGE #monsterdon

She gave the kid a concussion. Some hero. #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

This is a very good time for sheltering in place, I think. Running means you're out in the open when the not-birds come hunting.

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

People run a lot faster for Godzilla #Monsterdon

Ha ha ha, nice plastic horse in Gyaos's mouth there :P #Monsterdon

whelp, so much for pancake baby

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

what a good eater #MONSTERDON

Giant Turtle Patrol always has vacancies #Monsterdon

He gives off very :getintherobot: vibes

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Dude, get back in the Pajero. It's fucking bulletproof. #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

I don't see that suspension bridge lasting too long...

#Monsterdon

so are they bird or not

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Rocket powered Gamera is a go! Launch! Conserve angular momentum vigorously!

Gjaos are born pregnant! Like sharks of the sky.
Wait no that was logic from some shark attack B movie.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

I mean you'd be surprised how many things would eat people if some people was just sitting around. free meat #monsterdon

standard kaiju alarm

#monsterdon

Oh, y'know just visiting the zoo with a watermelon, in my watermelon net

as one does

#monsterdon

1995 and these 2 guys in the car are not wearing seat belts. #monsterdon

Dude. Pathogenesis _is_ a thing. You are nowhere near being off the hook.
