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

It's like a big roadrunner.
#monsterdon

Not the Chrysler bldg!!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

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

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?

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

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 🦖🦎

Fire breath!

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

@moira JOHN WICK IS JOINING THE FRAY

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

"we need bigger guns"

Yeah, we are totally not ripping off Jaws at all.

#Monsterdon

Jaws quote rip: Check #monsterdon

You don't need bigger guns silly American you need FRIGGEN MASERS #Monsterdon

it breathes fire now #monsterdon #godzilla1998

finally some explosions

#monsterdon

When does Mothra show up?? #Monsterdon

"When we said fire at will, we didn't mean MISS!"

#Monsterdon

The herpetologist gaze

#Monsterdon

Emmerich is obsessed with falling object close calls I guess

The author's thinly disguised fetish

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Godzilla: *is calm*
The military: Blow it the fuck up!
#Monsterdon

They just destroyed the Flatiron building!

#Monsterdon

"...nobody told me lizards can duck!"

#Monsterdon #Godzilla

Fire fire fire! 🎪

#Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

YAY!!! Godzilla gets to eat the feesh!!!! X3 #Godzilla1998 #Monsterdon #Godzilla

@Taweret I think it's the lizard.

#monsterdon

yeah looks about right
#monsterdon

Noooo my model buildings #Monsterdon

HE'S JUST EATING LUNCH, YOU DICKS #Monsterdon

And there goes the Flatiron building. Nice shooting, assholes.

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

Yuk yuk yuk, that's our army! slaps knee

#monsterdon

Music seems to be a mismatch. Is the orchestra still reeling from the Broderick rizz? #Monsterdon

OH NO THE TRIANGLE SHIRTWAIST FACTORY

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Sashay, and swipe. Move that tail.
#Monsterdon #godzilla1998

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

is that a disposable camera

good thing the camera' got flash!

#monsterdon

My god, this movie isn't even halfway over yet. #monsterdon

"Ok how do we indicate the location of the bait on the map?"

Propmaster: *opens clipart studio* #monsterdon

Godzilla is surprisingly chill...
#Monsterdon

@neia Tarrasque entry with a new label pasted over it. #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

The soundtrack sounds like it’s about to end #Monsterdon

#monsterdon so Matthew Broderick was military-kidnapped because he's a radiation expert, but he also knows all about what a mutant iguana wants in a habitat because he's just a casual lizard enthusiast? Or what

Are you telling me New Yorkers wouldn't be out there armed of the teeth shooting out of every window? #Monsterdon #Godzilla1998

The cast of The Simpsons, and a kaiju with a head for Futurama

#Monsterdon

That's a lot of fish 🐟
#Monsterdon

The Desolation of Godzilla #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖 🌇 🦶 😱

TAIL SWIPEROOOOOOOOO

very Godzilla (tm)

So Matt died of radiation poisoning from that spit, right? #Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai nope. 3200 was commonly available. grainy, but okay.

#monsterdon #FakeZilla #Godzilla1998

#monsterdon I like how they put a fish marker on their map.

Someone on the military's team was very proud of that.

Please don't piss off the lizard by shooting it while it's looking at me.

#Monsterdon

meet Godzilla. He trashes ships like Jaws and he has a majestic theme like the Jurassic Park brontosaurs

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Shouldn't it be a giant pile of fruit if it's a mutated iguana?

The computer screen with the cheesy map and fish graphic is a nice touch.

#Monsterdon

You can't tell me this movie wouldn't have been better with Paul Verhoeven directing it

#monsterdon #Godzilla1998

Hell yeah, free fish!

#Monsterdon

ok, music editor. you can go back to Led Zep's "Kashmir" now....

#monsterdon

lol the big fish icon on the map screen
#monsterdon

Am I supposed to care that Broderick was standing in front of Godzilla? I don’t understand the point. The music is not helping

#Monsterdon

(Everyone complains on youtube about the compositing, maybe they fixed it for the BR release? It doesn't seem terrible here.)
