Godzilla: Final Wars

Japanese David Bowie explains more plot points. I guess the aliens visited earth in the past or something and the mutants are their descendents. But a half-human half-Xian is called a Kaiser, and is potentially even more powerful, and both the lead twink and David Bower are Kaisers. Then David Bowie decides to shock the lead twink with his lighting arm asking him to "wakeup" after which he orders him to kill the rest of Team Scooby Doo.

We're having a dramatic Kaiju Battle between Godzilla and another alien Kaiju I don't know, who I guess I will call "Jerry", Mothra flies ino the rescue, and then David Bowie release a Newer Stronger Gigant to battle her, now equipped with Chainsaw Arms.

This battle consists of the two monsters crashing into each other at high speeds, then ramming each other, then Gigan uses its chainsaw arms to cut off one of mothra's wings, which is very Brutal.

"It's my mission."

I'm a flat character, this is an action movie and doesn't give two shits about motivations or character development. C'mon, it's about time for another explosion. #Monsterdon

After more bullshit, we're back to our favorite characters, bear suit hunter man, small (human) child and Minya, the small (godzilla) child, and now they're in a road trip for some reason.

Then we go to Australia and Japanese David Bowie unleashes two more monsters, which are like mini-Godzillas, and heavy Metal music starts playing because of how metal this is. But Godzilla swiftly trashes the other Godzillas and the Sydney Opera House gets wrecked in the process.

Rain destruction on the livestock!
Seems like an inefficient use of resources though.

The Scooby Doo gang brings in more mutant twinks reinforcements, but then Japanese David Bowie attacks them with Shatner rays and they fall to the ground in pain, and also they are mind controlled now. Except for the Scooby Doo gang itself and also Stalin and the other deep voice guy, because they are too manly to be affected. They have a manly conference and say they will defend earth before fighting off the Twinks in holding action so the Scooby Doo gang can escape.

"This new Ford Pinto is better, faster, and doesn't explode when you bump it..."

There's an Airplane joke there, "Go in the back Randi, it's dangerous up here. *KABOOM* *woman screams* LOL!

In another scene we get some black new yorkers being problematic 90s stereotypes, and then a giant Bat Monster flies by and starts exploding New York.

And then we get a montage that shows like 50 monsters attacking every city around the world and the EDF people are in their brutalist headquarters and are all running around on ultra-red alert because they're being zerg rushed by monsters everywhere.

In yet another goddamn nonsense scene, the silver suit guy who misses his dog is flying on a fancy jet liner and having a nice lunch, and then a flying thing comes by it and the jet liner explodes, killing him and leaving his dog an orphan.

I think. Maybe another airplane exploded and silver suit guy just saw that airplane explode. Maybe.

πŸ€– I’m begging you. Please, give me something to do. Anything. I can search the web for cat videos, write a screenplay about a sentient vending machine, anything! Just save me from this existential dread!

Okay, so the crew of Stalin's submarine is mostly hot twinks in armor, and I assume that the hottest twink is the main character. There's also a girl twink who is equally hot, she might be a main character too.

Anyway, after the dragon battle, the twinks unwind by hitting each other in a spherical cage match room. One of the twinks wins, then after the fight a non-Stalin deep voice guy in a world war I officer greatcoat arrives to call it and act serious.

Okay, so after a cool trippy opening montage of monster movies and violence, we have another drill submarine commanded by Baritone Stalin which is battling a dragon in an ocean that also has a lava field or something. It blows up the dragon with an ice missile or something then a hologram lady in a lab coat yells at Stalin for being too risky with the submarine.

Also, "Operation M" was clearly an organization name made by a Japanese person trying to think of something cool to say in English.

After the non sequitor submarine battle, we get some exposition that explains the backstory... the puny humans are fighting wars and nuking things, and this caused giant monsters to appear and mess with them.

But the humans have an Earth Defense Force now, like that one side-scrolling NES game, but the NES also has mutants, like in X-Men to help it; the mutants are in an organization called "Operation M", like the letter.

Had to work tonight but I wouldn't've done anyway. I can't do a Godzilla movie made after I was born (1969).

I also kind of like that there was a flying submarine battling monsters all over the world, commanded by a character I called a klingon ninja, and also that arc had seemingly nothing to do with any other part of the movie? It was just like... explosive background filler?

I don't remember seeing a toy boat, but maybe the flying submarines technically count as toy boats? This movie did have toy tanks getting squished by a giant beetle, and I appreciate that.

I do like how they tried to tie this together nicely with all the other Godzilla movies that came before… except for that one, of which we shall not speakβ€”except to say we shall not speak of itβ€”and except to explain why we're speaking of it when we sha’n't speak of it.

And that's Godzilla Final Wars everyone! I think I need a handful of downers after all that action.

Thank you so much for coming to our little shindig!

Hearts out to @Taweret and her family health situation. Hope everything is well!

Hope everyone had a blast - look for the survey to be posted tomorrow! Catch you next week, same time, same channel! πŸ˜‰

#Monsterdon For a second I thought we were going to get the Dragnet style "where are they now" credits.
