The world only has one hope left...
Godzilla.
One hour in all the pieces have been set, the movie can start... the Final War.
This is the dumbest plan ever. I love this movie so much.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Are you telling me... 80 plot points... YES!!

@jonny It's truly a Monsterpiece.

#Monsterdon

M base in their DNA?

Is this rather than AGCT? But M means A or C in standard encoding when ordering sequences. So maybe she means a variable site? I'm so confused.

#Monsterdon

"I was on the Gotengo. I shot that missile."

I spent thirty seconds curling my lip at the camera like an enraged ape. #Monsterdon

Wait, "Release all the monsters", IS THAT NOT WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST HOUR

#Monsterdon

so fuckers are fighting because even as mutants, machos pendejos cannot help themselves but be total assholes with each other?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

dude got slapped with a motorcycle

#Monsterdon

@moira Still an hour left.....#monsterdon

This is why it's important to buy shoes where you can replace the soles

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

#monsterdon This film has colors and is not afraid to use them.

The edgy intern is in charge of the alien invasion now.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

FOLLOW MY ORDERS

BY MY BEEFY CHIN #Monsterdon

DID SOMEBODY SEE THE MATRIX MOVIES AT ALL?

#Monsterdon

holy shit that sound

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

LMAO THEY’RE USING INDEPENDENCE DAY’S BACK STORY

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Not gonna lie, I was expecting Brent Spiner in there. #Monsterdon

All we've taught the aliens is they need to impersonate UN members who don't have dogs

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

I keep expecting Captain Gordon to say, "Itsa ME, MARIO!"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Dude you can't seriously be doing a secret lizard people invasion plot in two-thousand and fucking four

You should know better than that. -_-; #Monsterdon

SHANGHAI MAYHEM is the name of my next cyberpunk band

Rodan is here! To blow off toupees and scream ACAB at the top of his lungs.

"Don't even look at me, unless it's essential"

I bet she says that to all the guys

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

i am so glad they cast this nickelodeon bully as the voice actor of the very serious mutant soldier guy #monsterdon

not sure if i am watching the right movie, giving 100% red alert 2 fan-edit aired on public access energy so far. into it. #monsterdon

mutant humans and aikido?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

I'm so disoriented, we just start right in the middle of the action?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Any movie that starts at the south pole is a winner in my book

#Monsterdon

Wow that was a blast! Sometimes ridiculous, but always an energizing blast. Thanks @Taweret for getting us lined up, and to @JoeWynne and @Cherizilla for accessorizing. Looking forward to joining you all next week. #Monsterdon :dancing_lizard:

@trixter @Taweret Right? That was enough plot for the whole rest of the year's films! #Monsterdon

Oh wait, I forgot to rate characters for Godzilla: Final Wars.

The best character was Japanese David Bowie, for being a cybergoth villain who was also made entirely of Ham.

The worst character was... um... huh... um... I dunno, they all seemed pretty fun. I'll go with the EDF's interior decorator. Put up a curtain or a painting somewhere, or a potted plant.

#monsterdon

Listening to it back, I think that guy was "just" speaking Chinese

It looks like his character's name is Captain Li Xiang

I have no idea if or when this was established, but it stood out to me as something I hadn't seen before in a Godzilla flick

#Monsterdon

Anyway, I think that concludes my Godzilla: Final Wars thread?

This movie had so much going on I'm still confused by it and also I had hardly any time at all to see what everyone else posted? So I guess I'll go try to do that now? Thank you for reading?

#monsterdon

I give Godzilla: Final War 5 out of 5 floating golf balls of doom, one golf ball for every 100 scenes. I was debating giving it 4.5 floating golf balls of doom, but I'm going to stick to integer ratings, on this account godzilladammit!

I didn't quite like it as much as Godzilla 2000, which was somehow even goofier, but it had similar manic energy. I mildly disliked the more austere tone, but I liked all the lasers and nonsense Kaiju battles.

#monsterdon

This movie has the best ending. Gordon gets a dog as cute as he is.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe We are cackling. Had to read that one out loud to @steggy
#monsterdon

I wish there had been even more of this prog sound in the rest of the soundtrack. I dig it.

Stand-out hero for me is still that Mega Drive-ish bass. So good.

#Monsterdon

jesus christ #Monsterdon

THE DOG 😂

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

My kid pointed out that Son of Godzilla is doing the Titanic thing

#Monsterdon

And Godzilla makes Ghidora fuck off into space.

#Monsterdon

that’s Godzilla’s version of a verbal lashing

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

The final fight

#Monsterdon

While Ghidorah flogs Godzilla with his laser snot, I would like to spend a brief moment to discuss the aesthetics of this movie.

Most of the human structures we see follow a brutalist and minimalist pattern, and their uniforms seem rather fashy and also using a mostly monochrome palette - going from white to silver to black (except for the antarctica bros). I think in a western context the aesthetics of the EDF would be seen as dystopian, but I don't think that's the intent here?

#monsterdon

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

OH COME

ON

#Monsterdon

can you fly a drill ship?
fly yes, land no.
#monsterdon

opportunity to evaluate the implications of humans breeding mutants as soldiers to fight godzilla with respect to what counts within the ethical scope of 'humanity': obliterated #monsterdon

DUDES ROCK with that fight scene posed in front of the kaiju fight

hell yea

#Monsterdon

whoever this is playing the villian is getting all the points. all of them. none left for anyone else. the way he turned around like, oh. shit. lolol #monsterdon

he morphs into keanu
#monsterdon

Some *very* early 2000s sexism on display here. #Monsterdon

Bro brought a fist to a gunfight

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe i haven't believed anything for like an hour and a half. #monsterdon

"Drill Stalin with a Samurai Sword" sounds like a stoner's idea...

#Monsterdon

is THAT what they called you in college? IS IT? #monsterdon

The alien spacecraft set looks a little bit like it’s from Farscape.

#Monsterdon

@trixter what's the point of being evil if you can't look cool as shit while doing it?
#monsterdon

Apparently evolved mutants get +1 on slap attacks. #Monsterdon

@ricci there being an unlimited number of things that happen is the entire plot of this movie so i have no idea how they will end it #monsterdon

Oh, nice. Mewtwo. #Monsterdon

Alien leader just lost the same boss fight for the tenth time, he's running out of quarters. #Monsterdon

Is there a game version of this movie or is this movie a compilation of all the cutscenes in the game?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon These alien drones remind me of "Arsenal of Freedom", the TNG episode.

🤖 FINAL 1-SECOND NOTICE: COMPLETE FINANCIAL RESTORATION OR TOTAL LEGAL DESTRUCTION

PENALTY SHOT!

#Monsterdon

You think we'll get a rocket-powered drop kick out of Godzilla this time? #Monsterdon

Comic relief (singular)

#Monsterdon

minilla, i do not believe yo uhave a drivers license, please just give directions. #monsterdon

Kei truck!

This movie rocks and I won't hear any slander against it.

(or well, actually it's terrible, but yeah...)

#Monsterdon

isn’t godzilla genderfluid and hermaphroditic?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

XDXDXD

this soundtrack I seriously cannot fucking take it

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon All the world's oceans are waist-deep for Godzilla.

Now they done it, woke up Godzilla, and hasn't had a cup of coffee

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Plot critical pupper is still here.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

Y’ALL THIS MOVIE FORETOLD THE EARTH’S #ANTIFA CAPTAIN IS LUIGI

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Did we just slip into a different movie? #Monsterdon

AND WE HAVE A TITLE DROP good work everyone #Monsterdon

THANK YOU action hero stalin for this camera that will be the sole source of human knowledge to pass down after this alien extinction event #monsterdon

"Take this" That's a camera.

#Monsterdon

In the conference of good, which is NOT inside a pumpkin latte themed spaceship, we learn that the aliens and most of the monsters have like mutant genes which make them susceptible to mind control, but Godzilla doesn't have that so it might be able to fight the monsters. But Godzilla might also destroy the world, so this is a risky plan.

#monsterdon

Finally, wondered what was happening to the kid and his grandpa

#Monsterdon

@steggy @MatthewTitus88 There is absolutely a way they could work in a scene where they drive around with a dead person and pretend he's still alive.

#Monsterdon

Tokusatsu bike fight! Finally a genera of fight has escaped from Kamen Rider into a wider audience.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

FUCK YEAH GIGAN

Sinister xylophone. #Monsterdon

Uh, that's cattle ARE stupid, thank you very much

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

#monsterdon Perfectly normal for someone to decide he prefers to be disguised like cattle.

"Resistance is--"

*paramount cocks a rifle offstage*

"...Useless!" #Monsterdon

PUPPY! We were promised puppy and the movie delivered!
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

#monsterdon So all of the clever stuff the reporter did with the dog was pointless.

If she'd just waited a few seconds the soldier guy would have just come in and shot the guy anyway.

i knew the mustache reminded me of someone

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

#monsterdon I wish the plot would get more complicated..

He shot Colonel Sanders! Oh the fried chicken! #Monsterdon

OMG is this a take on the famous my dog doesn't bite/that is not my dog gag?

Amazing. I love this movie.

@jonny the 90s Godzilla movies had better female rep imo. 2004 was a bad time #Monsterdon

Don't do an eye closeup unless you do your eyeliner correctly (in case you're wondering, no that wasn't correct).

How did I get on a makeup jag? I don't wear makeup.
