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

...Why are they finding a big Norse engraving in the Pacific? That is... that's Norse. Is Gamera supposed to be Jörmungandr? #monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon #Gamera

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

Wait, why is there a runestone? #monsterdon

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

Wait, does this turtle/island creature have an 'On' switch?

#monsterdon

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

great, you broke the monolith

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

That's no atoll!

good job dumbasses. you just doomed us all

#monsterdon

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

Oh look a Seed.

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

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

oooOOooh it's PULSing

#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

#monsterdon The magatama!

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

"I haven't even changes clothes! I'm covered in bird shit! And why do you keep staring at my tits? MY EYES ARE UP HERE."

#monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

#Monsterdon OMG! She just opened up the helicopter door and started snapping pictures! Badass!

magatama that have been found IRL apparently date back to as far back as around 1000 BCE #monsterdon

Damn someone dropped all their commas #monsterdon

This atoll is covered in commas! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Island where Commas go to die.

come quick, sir! i found some question marks!

#monsterdon

it was pretty bold of them to keep the 1960s Gyaos design for this one. It still has a lot of similarities. #Monsterdon

oh, it's one of those big wafer confections, they're delicious! dig it out!

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

all i know about those commas is you should NOT let them touch and make a circle
#monsterdon

I got news for you "turn 360" is not gonna do very much. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/9721 #Monsterdon #GameraGOTU

y'all

I don't think the bird's gonna fit in that box #monsterdon
