Dammit Godzilla eats radiation not feeshes!
why did you even take that tape a-traveling.
I label all my Top Secret tapes "Top Secret".
π΅ They call me Dr. Worm. Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm. π΅
during #monsterdon i can always tell which of yall's servers are well maintained and which are not. tonight it's dot social that's struggling which is so on point #godzilla1998
#Monsterdon I'm loving all the VHS tape slamming happening in this movie!
#monsterdon yes, wild animals know all about ducking bombs and then charging at the bomb source, they're so wily
Why is Matty surprised that Will The Lizard can reproduce asexually, this isn't exactly cutting edge scients in 1998
#monsterdon Ok, writers, We want a movie with baby godzillas, but we can't make godzilla female.
How did Matthew Broderick's career survive this movie ffs
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
I mean, not that I wanna push any kind of gender/sex category agenda b/c Godzilla is whoever they are and we love them for it and they do not have to fit our categories
@pngwen Laying eggs is like giving birth?
Leave NOW Pamela Andersen!
βForgive me, my old flame, I have to get this to the lab to confirm all this!β
#Monsterdon The terrible romance side-plot does work nicely as a break from the terrible lizard plot at least.
If the guy you dumped and ghosted 8 years ago still has a ton of pictures up of you even in a field tent in a crisis area, you should RUN NOT WALK AWAY
He's got pictures of you, run girl #Monsterdon
Oh no she found his shrine to her I'm sure this will drive her away #Monsterdon
Godzilla is pregnant! Yeahhhh, babies!! Also the "Where's the fun in that?" About asexual reproduction is SUCH a mood. #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla
"I know these tests aren't meant to see if giant lizard kaiju are pregnant, but I'm going to use them to say that anyway"
#Monsterdon
Godzilla went to New York to nest why??? Because of the famous lack of humongous cities within thousands of miles of Japan???
Godzilla has gender dysphoria. Poor guy. Gal..
Godzilla is a single mom in the big city looking for that special someone.
#Monsterdon #Gino
nest york city #Monsterdon
Lizards donβt give birth though. #Monsterdon
It was also so nice of the pharmacy to remain open while a huge lizard rampages nearby. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦
i-i need to get to the lab! mpreg godzilla!
#monsterdon the music really wants me to think Godzilla is a gentle giant who wouldn't harm a fly
nonbinary asexual icon, Godzilla #monsterdon

DUDE WHY DO YOU STILL THINK SHE'S A HE wtaf?
the zards who do this are typically all 'she's , right?
just like matthew broderick.
How do we still have 1 hour and 20 minutes left of this?
"Can you tell me: Who came up with the idea of asexual reproduction?"
They stuck a Lifetime movie in this #monsterdon
like they brought in Simpsons voice actors for the cache because it was 1998 and the simpsons was at the height of its cultural power. but they're super distracting and they didn't give them anything actually funny to say or do
He's pregnant...
I was 50/50 on if the pregnancy test thing was really part of the movie or something I misunderstood or subconsciously cooked up in the intervening years
girlzilla??? #monsterdon
Nope. Echo 4 didn't lose him.
He's pregnant... he reproduces asexually.. but you are calling him 'he'.. so I .. I..
Doesn't he need a mate, pal?
I got pretty close! I did the whole How to Train Your Dragon hand on the nose thing!
#monsterdon
have some mpreg in your 1998 mainstream movie release
Tranzilla?
"From the inside I can affect real change"
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
haha
HAHAHAH
ha
AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHA
*ahem* #monsterdon
@ricci My god, you nailed it. #Monsterdon
I mean, the film ain't that bad. Plus, Matthew Broderick is so darned wholesome. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla π¦π¦
@Newpa_Hasai a #Monsterdon first

HE'S A SHE
Worst gender reveal party ever.
Merry Trans-mas!
(to be clear, i'm not suggesting she actually enjoy his presence, i'm just saying she's not even achieving her own goals here)
classic "change the system from within" bs #monsterdon
I'm realizing I have a strong preference for human-scale monster movies.
#monsterdon
"I affect real change... I'm creating a census" okay, we laughed at that
#Monsterdon I'm not sure but did I just see a background extras buy flowers from a street vendor? I guess pre-internet Godzilla news traveled slow.
Are they drinking out of a erlenmeyer in a lab?? #Monsterdon
Audrey no, that's zilla piss! D: #monsterdon
#monsterdon lol Broderick stood there for SO LONG after the asphalt cracked, what the fuck
"How does a guy go from anti-nuke activism to working for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission?" Well, you see, regulation improves safety.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Wait, do oviparous animals like iguanas even have the same hormoβand now the awkward meetiβWE'RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH. okay this movie has gotten too stupid for me, I'm out
lady, weren't you supposed to be getting information out of this guy? how are you gonna do that if you brush him off?
Osha is gonna have a field day.
Most awkward conversation ever.
#Monsterdon π¦ π π¦Ά π±
"Can I make ya a cup of tea" ???????
So, you wanna lure your kaiju *away* from notable landmarks and sensitive infrastructure. Which wouldn't be hard since you've found something it will eat.
But then we couldn't have all this spectacle that stands-in for plot.
Tea! Because the coffee in America sucks! #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
Worm with the Wind, the Tatupolis story.
"I guess I am still a little mad."
And you can tell by how I radiate mild petulant annoyance. #Monsterdon
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz #monsterdon
She's surprised he's still mad she ghosted him after eight years. Does she not know any other nerds #Monsterdon
Don't get me wrong, Matthew Broderick is cute and all, but it seems like every other female character is fawning all over him. #monsterdon
oh no, did Godzilla trash the romcom district?
This romance makes me think of the dwarfen/elf thing in The Hobbit movies, but not the book
I was about to comment that we were almost an hour in and our "love" interests still hadn't had the meet cute, but here we are! And it's pretty cringe (and not in a good way).
Uh...my ovaries are up here, Ferris.
Not a good day for people with outside windows on buildings.
#Monsterdon
Trying to be slick about reading the name on that big yellow press badge and then pretending you remembered it. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998
kill me #monsterdon #godzilla1998
oh god we're deep in the romance plot now -_-; #Monsterdon
$460 in modern-day money
#monsterdon
I support Godzillaβs right to choose. #Monsterdon
Harem? Nearly rectum!

Fan opposition to the film built up to a frenzy during production, causing the studio to create a massive marketing campaign to draw in as many viewers as possible in the early days.
In fact, theater attendance did plummet after bad word-of-mouth and reviews. The expense of the marketing also tanked to profits, resulting in no sequels as planned.
the tone is a huge issue. there's another "joke" every 30 seconds or so but its clearly not meant to really be a comedy either. there's just enough "jokes" that you can't invested in anything because the movie won't let you
As a side note the animated series is a million times better than this movie.
#Monsterdon #Gino
Boy howdy when you take a script Toho wouldn't touch with a 3 metre pole and apply Epic Jurassic Park Production Values you sure get A Movie don't ya? #Monsterdon
Uh oh. THis film is about to attempt character development.
Harem? These are for me!
Oh Gosh, this movie is too long
#monsterdon
#godzilla1998
SHE BIT HER LIP, the universal sign of 1990s romcom flirting
Oh Godzilla got Dr Worm pregnant? #Monsterdon
This movie should make everyone appreciate the modern Godzillaβs physique.
Thereβs HOW MUCH movie left???
