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

"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.

we got a game tonight. the grounds crew is not gonna like this

#monsterdon

Yo, cabinet boy. Don't tell me how to do my job.

#Monsterdon

@Configures @jonny Are they suitable for minors? #monsterdon

oh shit a fourth chopper #monsterdon

not very restricted zone if you can just fly right into it huh, flash an id, say nothing, and make it to the head army guy #monsterdon

Dang, we already have a monster-capturing plan being enacted? This still feels like Act 1! If this movie keeps up the pace, we are GOING PLACES with this one

#Monsterdon

It would’ve been awesome if Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped out of that helicopter. #Monsterdon

Hmm a Kusanagi related to some jewels. Well that's something that has never happened in hundreds of old stories and manga and anime and...

@jonny Are they earbuds? #Monsterdon #GameraGOTU

It's always the most fun to go out to the ball game when it's Kaiju Day #Monsterdon

harrowhawk?

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Don't get mad about my plan, I thought you had already decided not to listen to me. #Monsterdon

Sure, we are going to trap a Kaiju here but we need to protect the field
#Monsterdon

I love Dr. Nagamine so far... I love a "oh I gotta look at this thing RIGHT NOW" scientist character #monsterdon

"Harry Hawk, this is Hercules One."
<sounds of laughter>
"You're kidding, right?"

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Me at work next year: "Probably, you say? That's not good Enough!"

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “You’re very young,” which means you’re very dispensable.

Hold on let me find a video of a tornado destroying a stadium roof to explain to this guy why his plans not going to work

#Monsterdon #Gamera

Fighter jets? Already?

#Monsterdon

Do you have some ID, son?

Yes. I made it on computer and borrowed my dad's laminator. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

In today's game, we will have 3 giant monsters vs the roof of the stadium.

Free tickets
Code name BAIT

they're gonna get Akayama to swing the bat? #monsterdon

movies love to anesthetize people/animals like it's no big deal as if it's not a huge risky and complicated situation that requires skilled professionals to and have the person come out of it ok

#Monsterdon

OH MY LITTLE ICE CREAM BAR
HOW I LOVE TO LICK YOUR CREAMY FILLING
#monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

#monsterdon Loosely translated the plaque says "A'Tuin is about to wreck your day" I think

edit: "said"

SPORTS BIRDS GO #monsterdon

I think we are a bit late to #monsterdon but this bird scienticist lady is a badass. Giant flying bird just feet from the tiny plane? She opens the door to take better pictures.

🦖 GUARDIAN OF THE TRIVIA 🐢

First Woman Kaiju!!

🎥 The Gyaos creature was supposed to "look female", so a female actress was used.

But does that Kaiju make coffee?

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

"I got it! We'll beat the bird to death with a baseball bat!"

#monsterdon

roofs of baseball stadiums take like half an hour to close tho

#monsterdon

Uuuuh guys, I don't think that stadium is rated for Giant Bird strikes. #Monsterdon

When you investigate a floating atoll that's less than a hundred meters square, you should wear your life vest. I'm disappointed in these scientists.

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

that's right, the poison is in the dose #monsterdon

I'm watching the subtitled version, does he talk about how much he's enjoying his ice cream sandwich in the dub? #Monsterdon

i think this is the start of an anime where the dude who broke the monolith has to join Gamera's school club and earn back enough money to pay for it. #monsterdon

Damn, that tablet-breaking effect was FANTASTIC. VFX team killed it there

#Monsterdon

Our scientist lady suddenly has a _drawl_?

Honey, _pick an accent_.

#Monsterdon

so the usual question, what is the reason to not just let them have the island and leave them alone? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The most intense "you broke it, you bought it"

Nevermind, took care of itself in a fit of geographic continuity. #monsterdon

@Taweret Some internet pranksters will put up new ones, not to worry #monsterdon

They broke the slab, think that means they're cursed forever now #monsterdon

@Taweret sure looked like the monolith broke itself tho #monsterdon

I'm counting that as a "panicked evacuation" for the purposes of #monsterdon #bingo

Well, that's an F in field archeology for this crew

#Monsterdon #Gamera

#Monsterdon Cutting edge 1995 computer technology. With wireframe graphics!

Thus Spake Zarathustra #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

THUS SPAKE GAMERA #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

They are highly lethal and travel widely... you go get them

#Monsterdon
#Gamera

Hitchcock made some scary birds, they don't have to be giant
#monsterdon

HATE LET ME TELL YOU HOW M- oh it broke, never mind #Monsterdon

remember those weird monoliths in the desert a while back... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That's no atoll!

great, you broke the monolith

#monsterdon

good job dumbasses. you just doomed us all

#monsterdon

Oh look a Seed.

@CactuarJoe yeah, two years apart, definitely seeing heavy influence #Monsterdon

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

#Monsterdon

Futhark? Gamera really gets around! (Literally, I mean)

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

they're digging through a giant mound of birdshit, right? #monsterdon

oooOOooh it's PULSing

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

so are they digging down in Gamera's shell now? And gamera doesn't mind? #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

Sometimes I think the timing of people bowing in these movies is supposed to be significant. Maybe comedic, or to indicate a socially awkward character, but I don't know enough about japan and I can't parse it at all.

#monsterdon

probably shouldn't have touched that #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

"Only a fool would try to capture a creature they know nothing about!"

"And I am that fool."

TWO MINUTES

TWO MINUTES TO MONOLITH SCREAMING

(not rly)

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

"Only a fool would try to capture a creature they know nothing about."

Zoologist clearly has never been to the zoo.

#monsterdon

"This is an official order, doctor!"

Okay well I'm not in the military and I'm not a government employee, soooooo... Fuck off? #Monsterdon

Is this another movie where everybody dies because nobody listened to the woman #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

Yeah....random young woman that we've just met. Let's put you in charge of capturing these birds...

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Me to every man in this movie: HERE EYES ARE IN HER HEAD.

"you saw it, _you_ catch it" #monsterdon

Their ability to fly will complicate the operation. No shit? #monsterdon

"...lets dispense with the formalities."
"Yo dawg, you got a giant turtle in your sink!"

#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

We want you to capture the bird, that's not a bird.

"I'm going to need a really big mist net."

#monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

this actor playing the minister talks like a sylvia and gerry anderson puppet

perhaps he has prosthetic lips

wooden ones

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Poor doggo
#monsterdon

@lytta whoa dang perfect moment for a wikipedia break while the army guys talk #monsterdon

YES, DO NOT GO TO THE ISLAND IT FEELS LIKE A REALLY BAD IDEA #monsterdon

If we can just find a period we’ll have a semicolon.
#GameraGuardianoftheUniverse
#Monsterdon

But are they Oxford commas? #monsterdon

They’re quotation marks? #Monsterdon

giant birds, no problem, committee meetings no thank you. smart woman. #monsterdon
