OMG the glasses sliding out of the pile of puke!!! 😂 #Monsterdon

"If it can't find food here it'll attack Japan!!!"

Because there's no food anywhere between here and Tokyo!

#Monsterdon

She's truly a scientist, plunging her hands straight into that bird plop

#Monsterdon
#Gamera

I know the Earth is big but you'd think somebody would have noticed jet sized birds flying around the Pacific before

#monsterdon

@ottaross 👍

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon That's what happens when you try to melt the marshmallows for the world's largest s'more too soon

“Ginormous bird crap” was not on my list of expected visuals tonight. #monsterdon

Mr. Sonar! #monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien #Monsterdon Given the storm, maybe it’s a thunderbird.

And we're elbow deep in bird poop
what is this Jurassic Park
#Monsterdon #Gamera

A pile of The Stuff!!!

#GameraGOTU
#Monsterdon

LOVE the dramatic zoom on the map marker

#Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial ahhhh! #monsterdon

"You don't think a bird did all this, do you?"

Eh. Bird, therapod, whatever. #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Well, they insist that the Gyaos are birds for some reason #monsterdon

ah, of course the police are investigating when someone's flipped them the bird #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “He drinks saki, wine, rum, and bourbon,” all at the same time.

"A bird?!" "OH GODS NOT BIRDS"

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

a bird? on an island? impossible #monsterdon

Plutonium jackets #monsterdon

what a jaunty tune for this research vessel. #monsterdon

"If a non-paying job is okay, I have one for you" is this movie about me looking for a job after college haha ha ehhhh #monsterdon

YES PUT THE MAID(?) ON A BOAT #monsterdon

My only question if you want to be a houseboy, can you walk in shoes? #monsterdon

Bright lime green is a positive colour for sea adventures

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Sailors never seem to catch on that moving atolls are always 100% of the time monsters.

#Monsterdon You don’t usually need to calculate the speed of an atoll, I’m just saying.

I have no choice but to stan the young officer who is treating plutonium as seriously as it deserves

#Monsterdon

Tiny cat statuettes.

#Monsterdon

oh no wonder the radio didn't work, he didn't plug in the microphone! what a goof!

#monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

This is a very Jurassic Park sequence here :D #Monsterdon

@Lazarou Considered Harmful #monsterdon

wait, the gov agency is not permitted to be in the...investigation? this is levels of privatization I was not expecting. #monsterdon

"I hope he's not going to ask me to come out to the island with him" Is this a new euphemism the kids are using? #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

@Newpa_Hasai I kind of liked that reference, Mu is an underappreciated legend

#Monsterdon

That weird atoll is approaching Japan but I'm sure it's fine.

#Monsterdon
#Gamera

But what if the plutonium had leaked into the sea?

Well then, we'd be watching an X-Men movie

#Monsterdon

Those guys both look like they are in a boy band. #monsterdon

FIRE!
#Monsterdon #GameraGuardian

Quick someone plug in that lat long and look for easter eggs.

#Monsterdon
#Gamera

"The reef seems to have moved away on its own" :blobfox0_0:

#Monsterdon

As I do not read Japanese, and our Blu-Ray does not offer subtitles for the newspaper shots, I have to assume all of those basically say OH SHIT WE'RE FUCKED WE SHOULD JUST EVACUATE TOKYO NOW AND SAVE TIME AAAAAAAAAAA!

#Monsterdon

gamera, guardian of the flaming title sequence! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “The transport has been grounded.” On Turtle Island, no doubt.

One millionth of a gram of plutonium... brb gotta do some science

#Monsterdon

"This whole thing is completely impossible" My Dude the movie is Just Starting. Buckle up. #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

THIS WHOLE THING IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE! #monsterdon

You’re an atoll! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Let’s hope nothing goes wrong!” 🚨

"Well.....the reef seems to have moved away on its own." #monsterdon

Christ, what an atoll #monsterdon

I like how they stand around and recite all the Wikipedia page contents for radioactivity.

#monsterdon

The Ocean of DEATH #Monsterdon

(we now join your regularly scheduled Gamera, already in progress) #monsterdon

"Let's just hope nothing goes wrong."

#monsterdon

What could go wrong? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Way to jinx it, dude!

Oh no plutonium. Infodump!

Let's hope nothing goes wrong.
#Monsterdon

(well i could really tell when everybody hit play, coz my download jumped up from like 54 seconds, to about 2.5 minutes left. (^_^) #monsterdon )

ominous start to this episode of The Love Boat

#Monsterdon #GameraGOTU

Gamera is really neat

He is made of turtle meat

We love eating Ga Me Ra

#monsterdon

Plutonium Transporter and lighting so bad I can't see a thing #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!

So if you’re just glancing at this feed, you’ll see a bunch of (time-lagged) toots labeled #Monsterdon. For your sanity, you may want to mute or filter out all those. I promise not to do it again until next Sunday.

What's your favorite Kaiju and why? Maybe second favorite if your answer is Godzilla to keep it interesting.

I ❤️ Mothra

The song still pops into my head occasionally, she's beautiful in her wrath, and is bonded to tiny fairies. What's not to love?

#Monsterdon

Hello anyone new to #Monsterdon! There's about to be a whole lot of posts on your timeline about this week's movie, so enjoy and if it's not your thing, mute the hashtag before scrolling further.

@aburka #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon Gamera rocket, Gauss laser, and an oil refinery. Adds up to Superheated Gamera Wreckage.

@Zerofactorial While we're on about it, Dad, you really don't need to raise your voice at your daughter, at all? She's right there. If she's in a coma, shouting won't help none.

#monsterdon

@lytta @RobynGoodfellow ...And not explicitly stated to be dead, soooooo

~it's pooooossible :D~ #Monsterdon

guardians of the galaxy when gamera guardian of the universe walks in the room

#MONSTERDON

@lytta @aprilfollies totally, scrubbing through now again it was sort of lost on me between the people yelling how much time is spent with her questing for gamera, she knows what's going on super early it looks like #monsterdon

@lytta Yeah, I’m mostly just kidding around with this. I read lots of webcomics with this kind of psychic partnership. 😀. #Monsterdon

i gotta pay attention more to the first 10 minutes because usually it takes me so long to adapt to the universe of a movie i am just like "WHO is that and WHERE are they going" that i miss all the obvious "foreshadowing" that makes the rest of the movie make sense #monsterdon

@blogdiva Ga-Me-Ra Su-per-star. How can you be all they say you are? #monsterdon #GameraGuardianOfTheUniverse

@aprilfollies it really does have some Mahou Shoujo vibes, but also being a fan of that genre means I was watching like 'oh she's putting in psychic work/doing a big determination/being brave enough to deal with the injuries' etc., making sure to get to where Gamera is physically by waylaying a cab driver etc; like I interpret it as her actively doing stuff, not just being passive #monsterdon

@teledyn So very GOOD vibrations. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon and Gamera fucks off into the sea!

#Monsterdon Gamera is now a very snappish turtle indeed. Yeah, this place is getting some serious gentrification.

@lytta @RobynGoodfellow Mmmmm, true, yeah. But the whole "sharing Gamera's pain" thing IS pretty traumatic. I suppose as long as Gamera isn't Asagi's mom it's probably different enough. #Monsterdon

@lytta ALSO DOES IT COUNT as a #BechdelPass to have a spiritual connection at a distance through a stone that is about the fate of humanity that materially affects the plot between two women even if one of them is a kaiju #monsterdon

I hope Dr. Phibes is back on the voting next week. I'm all in on that one for next Sunday. #monsterdon

♪ Gamera is really neat
♫ He's had a kid's brain to eat
♪ Now we all love GA~ME~RAAAA #Monsterdon

@aburka Neither, didn’t pre-download from the Internet Archive. Oops. #Monsterdon

@lytta i am imagining my kaiju gf being like "i have healed you and destroyed our enemies, but i must go to the center of the earth and bide for an eon, goodbye" and it's iconic so i would take it #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Funny that our Magical Girl doesn’t really *do* anything, just kinda vibes with Gamera.

so the "uk special edition" is definitely a trip! different vibe altogether. glad i saw it, but i probably won't watch it that way ever again 😂 #monsterdon

@jonny I mean gamera healed all of asagi's injuries at the end (or possibly Love and the psychic connection did idk) and also like, stopped the gyaos, so #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Or "We made this giant rocket turtle, but it's kinda weak. Maybe try strapping a child to its brain?" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon As God is my witness, I thought turtles couldn’t fly.

Then again, most turtles aren’t jet powered, which is probably just as well.

#Monsterdon Oh, Gamera wrecked the Gauss nest. It’s on.

@lytta like gamera may be powered by love and it's not transactional or anything but does gamera power me back too. maybe that is what the sequels are about #monsterdon

@trixter Gamera is an island, and he's powered by a telepathic link. He's Rock/Psychic. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I laugh at the monsters, but really, they’re visually amazing. Between costumes, puppetry, and other practical effects, the critters really look like real .. ish … creatures.

@trixter oh wait, fireball at the end. Fire type.

#Monsterdon

(YouTube has some older, low-res uploads of the MST3K version of the original Gamera, if anybody's truly curious about him being Friend to All Children.)
#monsterdon

And another tally in the "monster fucks off into the sea" column for #Monsterdon movies.

Hopeful ending as music swells: "Gamera will come again." Then upbeat music over credits. Ok then.

Mothra is still my favorite, but I liked it.

@Rozzychan Can’t go wrong with GBOF. #Monsterdon

@Rozzychan ooh Great Balls is a strong contender

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I’m going to go ahead and thank @Taweret while waiting for the last quarter of the movie to load. (Rookie mistake on my part.)
