@annathepiper You'd think they'd eventually learn
Oh no this is just going to make me want to find a way to work that super-fancy Blu-ray Evangelion set with the original dub track into my budget... That's worse than wanting a Minidisc player. #monsterdon
Well it looks like gamera had a whole ecosystem swimming there with it
#Monsterdon Helicopter just blowin Raspberries, in that opening scene. I found some subtitles here https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/subtitles/8320447-japanese-1080p-bluray-h264-aac-vxt be warned though that website feels sketchy af despite the word "open" in the url...
Hm. I have neither sub nor dub.
"What if the cargo bay had ruptured" Well.. we'd be dead and you'd be fired... and dead. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse
That schoolgirl is a government spy #Monsterdon
We are five minutes into this movie, and I think we can all agree that the real monster is the voice actors in this dub. #Monsterdon
non-interference? what do you think this is, star trek?
A lot of potential #monsterdon #bingo possibilities are precluded by the lower right corner being impossible to cross out until the end of the movie!
dropping news via schoolgirl chatter is...different! #monsterdon
Okay, the βnot subtitling textβ thing got really annoying now that weβre spending a minute flashing to shots of newspapers. #monsterdon
omfg i'm late for #monsterdon
#Monsterdon How many speed dial buttons does a guy need? Does he have everyone in Japan programmed on that phone?
Beware of viscous roaming atolls #Monsterdon
#monsterdon this is shitty intro screen
Hello old ADV anime dub voice actors.
Hello wandering island mystery. π’
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian
Anybody else get big Titanic vibes from that boat collision lol #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse
I'm watching the dubbed version and I gotta say it's super weird seeing these Japanese sailors speaking English with western accents
@skatem yup, watching the sub for tonight's #Monsterdon too. That always makes it harder to participate.
@moira It's traditional! :D #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I will push my hat back to show my exasperation.
Oop, misread that as "Plutonium Transporter, Kobayashi Maru"
and now I want Shatner to make a cameo in this movie
#Monsterdon
Those dang hit and run atolls!
oh no, they're going to all jam into the smallest business-class jet.
wait, how are they going to land it? #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe god dammit you beat me to it xD
Love the titles.
#Monsterdon.
Kid info dump
And the scientists daughter.
kaiju hongry for that plutonium #monsterdon
New petition against tax!? Again!? #Monsterdon
Crash course on the dangers of radiation that they're hauling
ok the techno has started on this uk dub and it's wild #monsterdon
@trixter Me trying to figure out Blender instructions. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse
Cool. I've got a dubbed version with subtitles that barely match. The audio is slightly shorter than the text which has more story.
feeshies #monsterdon
βThis whole thing is completely impossibleβ I will be slipping into conversation tomorrow #Monsterdon
Sailors in the Godzilla franchise are either brave or foolhardy, and only accidentally ramming a kaiju distinguishes the two.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse
fucking archive dot org #monsterdon
This naval captain is reacting to this news with a very Airplane-esque "I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue" demeanor. #Monsterdon
Wow, that guy got whiplash!
#Gamera
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon Even inhaling 1 millionth of a gramβ¦
Ooo, 90s flaming titles, very nice :D #Monsterdon
Moving atoll!!!
Damn climate change!
Mr. Radar! #monsterdon
No radiation leak reported, so no problem.
AH so the boat is being attacked by opening credits! I SEE.
Dave, did you leave your gum on the radar again? #monsterdon
@CactuarJoe well I did... oh I forgot!
let me add a #monsterdong to that
And weβre off. My subtitles arenβt handling the on-screen text, but Iβm confident this is a Japanese film. Also good to see weβre immediately going into the dangers of nuclear power and weapons. #monsterdon
"WHY HAVEN'T YOU SHUT DOWN YOUR ENGINES?"
Captain, have you considered electrifying the hull?
#Monsterdon βLetβs hope nothing goes wrong!β π¨
@moira Man if THAT is what they ran aground on, this is gonna be a very different film than what I was expecting. #Monsterdon
Did he say... oh.. A-Toll. He said Atoll. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse
screw it lets do #monsterdon
Oh this movie comes right out the gate with the drama, I love it
this is the smoothest running aground I have ever seen #monsterdon
oh shit this version doesn't have subtitles #monsterdon
Christ, what an atoll #monsterdon
Just arbitrary light blue ties. Makes sense. #Monsterdon
I like how they stand around and recite all the Wikipedia page contents for radioactivity.
ran into something enormous, you and that french pole vaulter
Just made it.
Followers, mute (or follow) the #Monsterdon tag for the next couple of hours..
Gamera: Guardian of the Universe is up.
Heisei Era kaiju movies always make me want to dig up niche retro electronics on eBay so thoughts and prayers. #monsterdon
Me at work next year: "SUNY will become the ocean of death."
I am so ready for this! I am Groot!
Wait... Raccoons don't swim in the ocean...
Did I walk into the wrong Guardian movie?
"Let's just hope nothing goes wrong."
BUT AS WE SEE!! #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Some opening shots of a boat, boating to ominous music and foreshadowing dialogue! Jumping right in, I see.
Oh, uh, I guess you gotta manually turn on subtitles on tubi #Monsterdon
"Let's hope nothing goes wrong"
You had to say it!
"it would be such a shame if..."
