That "I like turtles" kid would be flipping shit right now #monsterdon

authoritarian propaganda like "don't you see, if you make it so the military needs to consult a civilian chain of command they will never be able to respond to gigantic turtles stomping all our shit!" #monsterdon

Secretary of Defense: "There are unknown kaiju unknowns."

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I realize now where I’ve heard the voice of Mayumi in this English dub. It’s Tiffany Grant, who voiced Asuka in Neon Genesis Evangelion!

even in the case that there are now both giant birds AND now a giant turtle monster....we still don't notify the governmnet?

WHO are these army guys then?!
#monsterdon

I'm impressed by how true this movie is to the "humans are the real monster" theme of the original Gojira. Nakayama-san watching the SDF absolutely blast that bird really felt in the same vein (and we've already gotten "nuclear weapons are horrible" right at the opening)

#Monsterdon

News lady is very chill. She's done this before. #monsterdon

"What do we do? I think we're going to need a bigger Stadium" 🏟

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

This just in: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

WHOAH, tac-vision upgrade #monsterdon

in 90s movies they're allowed to say the word "kaiju" in a kaiju movie #monsterdon (it's translated as 'monster')

@jonny #Monsterdon Throw the first pitch?

That monster has the same teeth as the guy in he helicopter.
#Monsterdon
#GameraGuardianoftheGalxay

So unless I fire a gun I can literally destroy Japan?
#Monsterdon

Oh no, Bowser is on the loose. Has anyone seen an italian plumber!? #monsterdon

it's a giant ninja turtle #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Hm. Tokyo Dome was only seven years old when the film was released.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Dome

GAMERA SMASH

#Monsterdon

The turtle has tusks? #Monsterdon

ugh, not the street ramen stalls, those are national treasures! #monsterdon

I heard there's free snacks here? Yes, this pterodactyl will do for starts. what else you got?

#Monsterdon

@lytta Yeah, he just kind of slid into the movie there #monsterdon

fuck 'em up, cranky gamma turtle

fuck 'em up

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

at last, the OG hero in a half shell
#Monsterdon #GameraGOTU

@amyfou Needs a little nose-bubble. #monsterdon

NOOOOO, not the RAMEN!! D: #Monsterdon

"We have no authority to do that, even in cases as ridiculous as this"

foreshadowing the American election perhaps

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Dr. Mayumi just put him in his place, and this is so amazing!

where did he even come from #monsterdon

so...now you have two problems. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Gamera has tusks?

Gamera no don't attack those miniatures #monsterdon

you just want to poop on an atoll and eat the occasional scientist. then you’ve got people baiting you in a stadium and shooting life’s unfair #Monsterdon

Ah, yes, the carnivorous not-bird’s natural enemy: prehistoric turtles. #monsterdon

Y'know I don't think they ever really figured out if these "birds" even like beef, seems like a bit of a lucky break

#Monsterdon

ah the 90's, shell product placement in a scene with burning gas plumes #monsterdon

good, good, blew up some power transformers... #monsterdon

gamera said, catch THIS curveball! #monsterdon

so, let me understand, their plan to capture the big birds is to host a bird buffet at a baseball match?
#monsterdon

lol whatever dosage of anaesthetic you setup is uh, going to be dangerous if you shoot it 50x with that dosage

#Monsterdon

Killer volleyball spike
#Monsterdon

It turns out the Gyaos was *not* ready for their closeup #monsterdon

whoevers hands are in those carcass-eating puppets..good job #Monsterdon #GameraGOTU

♪ Gamera is really neat
♫ He's erupting from the sea
♪ We've been eaten by GA~ME~RAAAA #Monsterdon

That thing is gonna trip balls. Too much anesthetic and flashing lights? Dude. #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

SMACKDOWN FROM THE BIG G!

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

they really should just plug up that hole in the ocean the way it just shits out giant monsters....

#monsterdon

In the future giant bird meat will be grown in labs and we won't have to watch giant birds suffer.

#Monsterdon

"...you misunderstand, you're trapped in here with _me_"

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

@trixter WHo's dubbing this movie? I know Asuka's here.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

In hindsight, they should have made snares.

Loops of steel cable with slip-knots that self-tighten. It would have been easy.

The ornithologist should have suggested it. Since she's apparently Japan's one and only bird expert.

#monsterdon

oh man these flying monsters have the best googly eyes, A+ design #monsterdon

Maybe wait for the dome to close? I don't know, seems like if you want to trap them and all
#Monsterdon

she asked so politely. like, oh yeah some crazy bird things in a feeding frenzy on the field, no one's ever seen these creatures before, i didn't even wanna be involved in this mission, but "please close the roof?" #monsterdon

Poor Toothless!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I also like dubbed better than the subbed version because it's more authentic

Small arms fire. That's adorable. #Monsterdon

How come computer UI in Japanese media always looks so cool. #Monsterdon

"Start the unnecessarilly slow trap!" Dr. Evil in Gamera. #monsterdon

Watching them eat is like the grossest episode of The Muppets ever. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

The eyes move! Awww, so cute!

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

they canceled disco sucks night for this? #monsterdon

Now the Dome closing procedure for the stadium takes approximately 42 minutes and cannot be sped up due to the physical safety measures built in

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

so genius now you trapped three divine dinosaurs in a baseball stadium what's your next move #monsterdon

there's just the small complication of the other kaiju they're pretending doesn't exist lol

#Monsterdon

@Taweret for science!

#Monsterdon

nom nom nom #monsterdon

@trixter They're like low-poly PS1 monsters, it's great :D #Monsterdon

sir, the team would like to start warming up, are you almost done catching kaiju or...

#monsterdon

It's a lot like when I go to refill our bird feeder outside #monsterdon

anyway in a vaccuum the idea of luring and trapping them in a domed baseball park is a cute plan

#Monsterdon

i know this, this is a unix system

#MONSTERDON

#Monsterdon “I’ve done the best I could with the facts that I have.” The cry of all scientists everywhere.

Wait I don't understand are they trying to attract him with the cows or drive them away with the lights

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

LIGHTS! CAMERA! BIRD. #monsterdon

Laying down a marker now that the smarmy Clark Kent lookin' guy is gonna meet a terrible end at the hand of one of the kaiju

#Monsterdon

WAY too early on the lights you are BOTCHING IT #monsterdon

Okay, well, apparently #monsterdon has officially become too big for my tiny linode instance. Hopefully I won’t have to restart it too many times tonight.

Anybody else remember the "Lucy orders a side of beef" episode of I Love Lucy #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

This seems like a lost opportunity to sell tickets for people to watch the kaiju capture

Which would be a terrible idea from a safety perspective, but that'd be nothing new

#Monsterdon

Only two piles of meat - they're going to make the birds fight for it!

#monsterdon
#Gamer:GaurianOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon Harry Hawk, we’re in pursuit of not-hairy hawks.

Mm, styrofoam cow #Monsterdon

Suspiciously foam-textured carcasses there #monsterdon

guy in lab coat...clearly a scientist.
#monsterdon

@jmelesky aha ok so they haven't gotten to "destroy all the monsters" yet the army is just involved bc they are big #monsterdon

enjoy some totally-not-foam pig #monsterdon

Okay turn off the lights, oh boy oh boy, this is going to be the best surprise party ever

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

are the sides of beef going to be in the way of batting practice?

#monsterdon

Hey, why does the field smell like rotten meat? Really throwing off my game
#Monsterdon

Every expense was spared on those fake sides of beef. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Hey, buddy. I know you look cool, but it's night time. Take those shades off.

#monsterdon

Woah ahhh meat party at the stadium!

#Monsterdon

Fun fact: Magatama are comma shaped "jewels" carved from various stones, but predominately jade. They first appeared in prehistoric Japan and were regularly included in burials during the Final Jomon period, approx 1000 BCE. By the end of the Kofun period (6th century) they had developed significant religious significance to those in ancient Japan.

#monsterdon

@apLundell Plutonium-based perhaps

#Monsterdon

"a fine lady indeed" wait is this move trying to go in directions other than action?? #monsterdon

@jonny IIUC, they’re ranging further out than the one island, so it makes sense to at least try to study them. #monsterdon

Everyone is regretting ordering the turtle soup now #monsterdon

#Monsterdon White Shirt Guy: Like, dudes, I *just* told you.

TAKING COVER IN THE DUGOUT is too much for me #monsterdon
