They should mix in some crows cawing over the NYC skyline shots

#Monsterdon

Snooze was like a son to me! #Monsterdon

"We lost echo 4 sir"

"I heard you the first time"

#Monsterdon

Firing blindly is okay in a unevacuated, high density civilian area if you're hunting Godzilla.

#Monsterdon

I think the subsequent spate of superhero movies set in manhattan really numbed me to "here's a notable landmark being destroyed".

HO HUM.
#monsterdon

Obligate helicoptervore

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon do these pilots know they can fly their helicopters higher into the sky to get away?

have you considered, ya know, just going up? 🥴

#monsterdon

I wonder who caused more damage? The Allidinoman or the military? #monsterdon

#Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

@CactuarJoe good source of aluminum! #monsterdon

At least I've got plenty of time to finish my nails... #Monsterdon

I think the Army has the lead on Godzilla for collateral damage. #Monsterdon

I miss Cinefex magazine

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

is this helicopter pilot's call sign 'snooze'????

Is that a Snooze button on that pilot #Monsterdon

You lost echo one and two to T-Rex arms and a big chomper.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I'm confused. Are we shooting up apartment buildings? That seems not good.
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998

Delicious helicopters :D #Monsterdon

"I think we got him!" You fool, you can never 'get' Godzilla!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

#monsterdon

The title of this film should have been Negative Impact.

Team? Team? We like it when the KAIJU destroy buildings. We do NOT like it when CLOWNS destroy the buildings.

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

helicopters weaving through skyscrapers plays like somebody was thinking about an eventual theme park ride

#monsterdon

Kool-Aid Zilla!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla

WHERE IS TARGET #monsterdon #godzilla1998

#monsterdon They keep doing the same thing.

Does any movie do that well? Where they do an action movie trope and then do the same one two minutes later?

#monsterdon

The real hero here in Godzilla is the steel holding the subways together underneath Godzilla's feet

Guys, what if we just kept firing slightly behind where he is?
#Monsterdon

Oh great, sure, randomly fire while moving forward in a single-file line. You wanna try a circular firing squad next? #Monsterdon

What is the military's problem? Godzilla is WAY bigger than the womp rats back home.

#Monsterdon

"you know that bad feeling i get..."

to be fair, he is about to have a scene in this movie, so he wasn't wrong.

#monsterdon

continuous fire is a bad idea in real, limited-ammunition helocopers

particularly if you can't fucking aim

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Why is Jean Reno speaking English while surrounded by French folks?

It's like when you're watching Star Trek and Klingons speak English in a room full 9of Klingons, except somehow stupider.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Collateral damage? What collateral damage?

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

So. Much. Collateral. 🫣😬
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Soldiers asking for permission to fire after being told to fire at Will The Lizard is just a bit weird. I guess it heightens the tension of this completely boring action scene?

#monsterdon

Negative impact? Like an anti-punch? You pull your fist from a guy's jaw, and he pops up from the mat. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Have they considered finding a magical and possibly psychic child to help?

#monsterdon #godzilla1998

I wonder what the masers are doing right now?

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@superviviansunshine honestly my favourite thing about the movie! #monsterdon

The Wet Bandits out here tonight having the second worst luck of their lives.
#Monsterdon #Gino

Oh yeah bc I'm tooting from 1m in the future pay attention to the TV's- they all have related content playing, we just saw the one #monsterdon favorite that had the giant Octopus (not Tentacoli, the other one)

edit: not Octaman either, the one bigger than a Winnebego

Did Emmerich want to make a video game based on this? That's what all these trench-run and POV shots feel like.

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

I have a bad feeling about this

#Monsterdon

Japanese Defense Forces after watching that scene:

PATHETIC

#Monsterdon #TeamIguana

jesus chrysler.

#WrongMovie #monsterdon

White people can not fucking WAIT to loot high end electronics #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

The army hated the K-car!!

Hey, I think we've watched that octopus movie for #Monsterdon

It was a little odd at this time in Holleywood to not have another film just like this in production at the same time(Dante's Pek/Volcano, Deep Impact/Armageddon). #monsterdon

80 knots is 92mph. That's.... pretty fast for moving through the city. #monsterdon

Blowing the tops off of building in New York? No one would ever believe tha…. oh. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

ugh whoops *Chrysler* building dangit

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe It may sound unscientific, but through the Fairies, we may be able to summon Mothra.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Fuck that building in particular! #monsterdon

The music in this scene definitely implies that we're supposed to be rooting for our hero Godzilla to destroy all of Manhattan and every one of these military personnel. This is weird. Usually Godzilla is supposed to symbolize the inescapable weight of aspects of humanity's folly, embodied in the form of a foe we cannot hope to overcome. But in this one he's apparently our scaly hero?

For a movie that aligns with the #monsterdon perspective it's a damn shame that *cups hands* IT SUUUUUUCKS

The US military have the aim of Stormtroopers. Broadsides of barns all over town.
#Monsterdon #Gino

Negative Impact?
Negative impact!
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon nice fucking going, blowing up the Chrysler Building ☹️

never include a better movie in your worse movie

repeat

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

And there goes the Chrysler building!

#Monsterdon

@Taweret holy shit, yeah, these are just... awful.

#monsterdon

Thousands of people would have died by now, I don't care about your "evacuate Manhattan"

oopps, there goes the Empire State!

I bet , ironically the World Trade Centre is spared....

#Monsterdon

The United States military famously hates New York architecture #monsterdon

Man, the Chrysler building just can't catch a break.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1989

RIP Chysler builing. #Monsterdon

Smooth move, Ex-lax!!! #Monsterdon

You can tell this movie was made before 9/11 because they were allowed to portray the U.S. military as bumbling and stupid
#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero yeah godzilla is inexorable, not something you play hide and seek with

#monsterdon

Boop!

#monsterdon

Ineffective Helicopters named Echo like Independence Day: check #monsterdon

These fellas clearly went to Stormtrooper training camp.

#Monsterdon #Godzilla

Nice hit on the Chrysler building
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

Ha ha take THAT, Empire State Building!

Not the Chrysler bldg!!

#Monsterdon

It's like a big roadrunner.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Goodbye, Chrysler Building!! THank you, armed forces...

I also have seen Star Wars as well

#Monsterdon

they've got no masers. they don't even have a teen girl with psychic powers who can telepathically connect with the monster

what are we even doing here?

#monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIAZILLA 🏙️💥🦖

Director Emmerich admitted that he did not like any of the original Godzilla movies. That was part of the reason he went in a totally different design direction.

Future producers of MCU and other franchises would never again make this mistake with a director.

#Godzilla1998

JESUS CHRYSLER YOU DESTROYED THE

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

They could have just pasted one little Urbanmech in there, with all the military hardware models in there. Nice little easter egg. Why not? #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

this whole Godzilla design just reads like Emmerich was super salty he wasn't the one to make Jurassic Park

#Monsterdon

Luke why aren't you using your targeting computer?

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Uh, did Godzilla breathe fire? I admit my Godzilla knowledge is, like, a couple of half-watched #Monsterdon movies, but I don’t remember Godzilla being a dragon?

Godzilla saunters at faster than 80 knots. #Monsterdon

lol

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Now an action(?) scene.
#Monsterdon #Gino

"Follow my lead!"

So I should suck and die, just like you. #Monsterdon

there goes the flatiron building!

#monsterdon

the constant rain is 100% to try and make the shiny cgi look more believable. But did it work?
#monsterdon

godzilla running away from conventional weapons is NOT godzilla

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I find it very rude to disrupt it's meal. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎

Boooo, don't shoot him, he just wants to eat his dinner. :revblobfoxangry: #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla

Behold, this once was the height of the digital fx back then. Who would tell how Transformers would make it worse still
#monsterdon
#godzilla1998

CGI + Burton-era Batman quality model cityscape == please no.

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

oh I get it the fish will be worse than the coffee hon hon hon

#monsterdon

Uh. Wait. He's got fire breath? #Monsterdon

What goes in must come out. Wait until he takes a giant radioactive dump.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon... I don't recall Godzilla breathing fire. Of course this is the first one I've actually watched, but... Is this lizard supposed to do that?

So, this is kinda like, an alligator/dinosaur/man. #monsterdon #Gozilla1998 #WrongGodzilla 🦖🦎
