#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

Aww adorable little blood thirsty muppets.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

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

YEEAAAHHH! take that oil refinery!

#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

lmao at the pterano-whatevers hovering like half a foot off the ground with regular speed wing flaps while eating #monsterdon

....do they also have ridiculous googly eyes? I can't tell for sure with this video quality but I think they might have ridiculous googly eyes

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

@Lazarou two years after. Several of these sequences have the same vibe as ones in JP

#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

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

#monsterdon
#Gamer:GaurianOfTheUniverse

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

#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

That's the answer! baseball will save us!
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

dude is really just like "nah it's ok we're already dealing with these UMAs I will simply pretend this new one you told me about doesn't exist"

#Monsterdon

@Taweret I assume all Japanese stadiums have ground rules for kaiju spelled out #monsterdon

Whoooboy… now they are building a cage. I can see that ending well.
#Monsterdon
#GameraGueardianoftheUniverse

the new lifeform is TOO BIG it must be SOMETHING ELSE #monsterdon

We've already booked the stadium venue you'll have to find somewhere else to take your giant monster

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

f l e s h #monsterdon

lol I didn't even notice they're writing yards in the subtitles (tubi) when they're saying meters. Close enough I guess #monsterdon

Yards?? #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

"We've already got THREE fifteen-meter monsters!"

Yeah, this is the Bird Monster part of town! Get that shit out of our turf! #Monsterdon

Finally! Sports is good for something

#Monsterdon

Wait is that Yonemori in the room with everyone. Despite being awful at faces I think I recognize his eyes #monsterdon

"I'm sorry we already have our quota of monsters for today. You'll have to tell this new monster to wait his turn."
#monsterdon

"How big is it?"
"More than sixty-five yards long."
...
@th0tleader you should have watched just for this line.

#Monsterdon

"...gonna need a bigger stadium"

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

@msh Kaiju get in free on Thursdays! #monsterdon

Did she say "3CCs" of the anesthetic per creature?

Must be potent stuff.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “It’s cold. And pulsing.” Suddenly do not want to know what they’ve discovered.
