some definite jurassic park notes in that music right there

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

and Gamera brings father and daughter together while saving us all.
Thank you, Gamera!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon It actually turned into a MA match

That burnt Gyaos smell. Smells like expensive reconstruction contracts. #Monsterdon

gamera casts healing word #monsterdon

probably shouldn't be getting so close to an oil refinery explosion, i don't care how much of a psychic connection you've got to a kaiju. #monsterdon

How to be supportive when your daughter falls for a giant monster. A parent's guide.

#Monsterdon

Gamera runs on the power of love #monsterdon

I wish I could shoot lasers through goddamn refinery plants. Where can I get a laser that big? #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

well, everyone who lives near that refinery is gonna be doing a class action suit for their ensuing health issues following the explosions

#monsterdon

Oh hey trivia time. Gjaos suit actor is the first female suit actor of a giant kaiju monster film.

Gamera used fireball. **It was Super Effective**

#monsterdon

Man. Shell is *never* gonna recover from this. #Monsterdon

see now you are not so much friend of the children as drawing on their energy under penalty of feeling the pain of vicarious death #monsterdon

Yeah, another fucking oil refinery! Take that Petro-nazis!

#monsterdon

OK you two take it outside (the atmosphere) #Monsterdon

in Spaaaaace #monsterdon

Love when arguments are settled out in Space

#monsterdon

Ohh! Gamera's got a shiv! #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Burrows faster than a snapping turtle, flies faster than a rocket, it's Gamera!

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

I'm not sure what the helicopter people are doing in this scene.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Gamera looks more badass than godzilla. In my opinion.

For #Gamera, this is just like bulls-eyeing womprats back home. #monsterdon

"Take us in!"

Feel like the pilot should ask who this guy is?

#monsterdon

so the Gay Chaos pterodactly is dropping its eggs all over the place? is this like a pro-abortion statement or something?

#monsterdon

Gamera Trench Run #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

Oh hey I was in Baltimore one year when the manholes were doing this. Fun Otakon.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

gamera's photon torpedos against godzilla's phasers, who would win

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

some really nice model work tho

#monsterdon

first-person camera is very cool #monsterdon

Gamera represents lack and is both the grand autre because it structures our understanding and also the objet petit a because it is a fantasized object of desire that is a missing piece of the symbolic order.

#monsterdon #lacan

Oh and I can't help but notice Gjaos's eyes turned from cute little googly eyes to glowing red evil orbs, that seems possibly significant

#Monsterdon

FUCK YOUR EGGS - Gamera, apparently

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

oh _here's_ where all the miniature work went. #monsterdon

“She says Gamera is coming” <everybody immediately just starts looking in random directions> #monsterdon

"Gamera is a friend to all children!"

Yeah, it's the fucking CITY he hates. #Monsterdon

"I like to take you out in a monster free city" I bet you say that to all the girls. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

I love the "wow living in a world with kaiju is really bleak" stuff this movie is doing. It's good stuff

It also reminds me that I still haven't watched SHIN GODZILLA.

#Monsterdon

gauss really haven't really been all that dangerous to justify 'the fate of humanity' depending on destroying them. it is literally just perched on the tokyo tower resting and doing nothing as you say that. #monsterdon

Sitting over the toppled tower just like a cat who pushed something off a shelf #monsterdon

Oh. Gyaos _is_ laughing at you and your misses while perched on the tower.

#Monsterdon

We now interrupt this program with a special news bulletin: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Oh, okay, they’re “eye shields”? So no longer affected by the flashing lights. So now it’s just shelter in place, we’re ruled by a monster not-bird now. #monsterdon

look you're still in the CRT era, why don't you get a big degausser and take care of the problem?

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

man, there are so many news reports in this movie. they really want us to be kept abreast of events. #monsterdon

OMG he teabagged Tokyo tower.

#Monsterdon
#GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Not the economy! #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

I wonder where they're evacuating Tokyo to?

It's like 15 million people. That'd be like evacuating New York twice.

#monsterdon

the military: oops? (^_^);;;
#monsterdon

fuck yes i love the gyaos nesting on the ruined tokyo tower, fucking icon #MONSTERDON

Oh, right. Tokaido shinkansen can go 16 TPH in normal conditions, so it's actually viable for evacuation.

#monsterdon

Oh no, with Tokyo Tower gone, where will anime schoolchildren take field trips?
#monsterdon

No, not Tokyo Tower!!
#Monsterdon

lol, they made a nice perch for it, truly Boeing level fuckup there

#monsterdon

Come on, open up some of those inbound lanes to outbound traffic.

I don't want to tell Japan how to do a kaiju evacuation, but it's the obvious thing to do.

#monsterdon

Aw man, are you guys gonna mutilate Tokyo Tower again? #Monsterdon

they gave that very seriouss soldier the wimpiest of voices.

boooo to the voice-over casting agents.

#monsterdon

Oh sure, it's easy to get the government to change which monster it will fight against, but try and get a bike lane added to downtown Tokyo, and it's a whole other level of challenge.

#Monsterdon

“We too are trying to leave a horrible heritage” #Monsterdon

aw, the walkman is sad! #monsterdon

#monsterdon The power of the comma was too strong it made her a priestess.

Theft by kaiju is actually Japan Railways' greatest expense #monsterdon

Oh man. That was quite the wet crunch there. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

how could they think that the gauss were good and gamera was bad when the gauss look like bad guys and gamera is a jet turtle who is friend of the children #monsterdon

betcha can't eat just one! #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

i really really wish the wings weren't so stiff

#monsterdon

Yes! We have entered the Destroying Trains portion of the kaiju film! #monsterdon

I understand the ecological commentary, but picking problems that were increasingly mitigated in the 1980s and 90s feels odd. Like the movie should have come out a decade earlier?

#monsterdon

yes, running definitely takes you places inside a moving train car

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Wow! A monster movie disguised as an environmental message. Who would have thunk?
#Monsterdon

lol, cracking 'Train scene'

#monsterdon

so the cannibal metal pterodactyls got horny with acid rain so that's why they're reproducing?!? am so confused.

#monsterdon

A MONSTER MOVIE WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE!?
*gasp*
It's more likely than you'd think.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

Gjaos reminds me of the aliens from Independence Day, with those triangular head plates

#Monsterdon

I was honestly hoping the not-birds reproduced by budding once they got big enough. That would mean they were eating their own clones. I’m on board for gender-bending not-birds, though! #monsterdon

Whatever happened to that plutonium in act one anyway? #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

"She's important to Gamera somehow!"

She's his tiny fairy lady, it's not that complex, guys. #Monsterdon

[tapping head meme] no scale issues if the monster actually does change size every few scenes

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Are you kidding me right now?! Epic sky chase and you monsters shoot the turtle with missiles? How dare.

The humans are always the monsters.

#Monsterdon

"It could reproduce endlessly" Oh god this movie is never gonna end. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

birds have z and w chromosomes tho

#monsterdon

WHO OUT THERE WAS CALLING PARTHENOGENESIS #monsterdon

Oh, Gyaos is nonbinary. Yeah, I can see that befuddling people in the 90s. #Monsterdon

Yeah, so when your cab driver starts laughing like that? Not a good sign.

#monsterdon

Asagi groks Gamera

#Monsterdon
#GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Ha taxi cab driver says acab 😂

#Monsterdon #Gamera #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

sometimes turtles forget they can fly i guess

#Monsterdon

IT FUCKED OFF INTO THE SEA! #monsterdon #gameraguardianoftheuniverse

@h3net TLDR #Monsterdon
#GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

Umm...I'm on my back, a little help please #Monsterdon

Damn it, I'm on your side! Didn't you read the email I sent you?

Uh... I skimmed it.

#Monsterdon

did gamera forget he can fly or

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I still don't understand how Gamera is a Saber–tooth turtle and a transformer t the same time lmao. Maybe is the plutonium farts.

Gamera like "Jeez, you stomp ONE midsize city and they never let you live it down!" #Monsterdon

okay to be fair, who HASN'T wanted to do that? #monsterdon

Spooky eye girl really warped that taxi driver

#monsterdon
#Gamera:GuardianOfTheUniverse

@lytta he was just waiting for the excuse #monsterdon

Mount Fuji is beautiful at night when the turtle is illuminated.
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

gamera enjoying the lightshow, super enthusiastic

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon Wow, from Norse runes to Atlantis to the Comma Sutra.
