Rodan visits New York, starting a Kaiju world tour.

At least King Seesar got a cameo :)

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Many monsters in many places. Got it! #monsterdon

I'm all in on the running crowd scenes. Been a minute #monsterdon

Rodan or something apparently having exhaust trails is amusing.

#Monsterdon

New York has been engaged! EDF to NY immediately! Coordinate with @blogdiva to allow all racists to be destroyed.

#Monsterdon

Awww, some nice city destruction there, classic 'Zilla

#Monsterdon

I'm glad they didn't go all CGI for this, it's a good mix

#Monsterdon

Trump returns to Manhattan #monsterdon

i lost it at the slide whistle effect

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon is that what Japan thinks urban America is like?

And then in another scene change, a Leather Jacket Lady is interviewing a fancy guy in a silver suit via a comically gigantic video-conference screen. I don't get where this conversation went or what it explains, because the scenes happen before I can finish typing the nonsense, but the silver suit guy has a dog named "Clint" that he misses, and that makes him relatable, because dogs are nice.

#monsterdon

HEY! Little racist fairy girls. Your DNA does not make a person evil.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

If it says it on the wall, it must be true.

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

Meanwhile at a tiny Mothra shrine.
Those tiny fairy girls are at it again.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

HERE COME THE FAIRIES

#Monsterdon

The dog's name is Clint. With the screen time we've given to this, it must be important.

Oh! and the Fae Sisters make an appearance!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

This happens to me whenever I read an encyclopedia too

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

#monsterdon Mothra norns?

the mothra twins!? HI GUYS! #monsterdon

Can we see pictures of Clint? I wanna see the puppy!
Does teh dog appear in the film!?
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Why do they always sound like used car salesmen? LOL

lol

"See that giant freak there? That's you guys..."

Harsh

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon yep it's a hot girl \o/

creepy mutant guy is creepy with that weird cheek tic

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

"I can't quit you"

#monsterdon You can't listen to your conscience on the battlefield! Oh, thanks, Hitler..

Keith Emerson (yes, that Keith Emerson!) is the composer so I'm expecting some off the chain synth solos here.

#Monsterdon

Love how that dudes' hair barely moves with all the product

Definitely some 'Greek' thing going on between those too....

#Monsterdon

Are these men lovers?

Is this foreplay?

#Monsterdon

Paging Dr. Tarantino, Dr. Tarantino, foot close-up to the director's chair

Captain Gordan's kaiju defeat --> court marial pipeline is the shortest in the world

Oh so Drill Stalin is the 'gruff old ship captain' of anime trope?

I'm still keeping an eye on him though.....you know Russians....

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The bridge of the enterprise meets a submarine

What if Joe Stalin was a good guy?
Well a guy who looks like Stalin as a pro wrestler at any rate.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

This one's BITEY, Captain!

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

And we have Captain Stalin!

#Monsterdon

Gotta love the opening credits, giving us a blast of what we want to see ... Kaiju and Shit Blowing Up.

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

FINAL WARS!!!
A tribute to 50 years of giant monster city stomping action sci-fi fun.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oscar for title design goes to..

#GodzillaFinalWars beings with the Toho logo and Akira Ifukube's awesome Gojira theme, and then, just to show that this movie isn't fucking around, we go immediately to some wars.

There's Godzilla and outside its an icy, dark and stormy night, like the opening of a Snoopy Novel set in antarctica, and there's a wacky submarine stuck on an iceberg fighting Godzilla. Then it shoots some missiles and knocks out the ice under Godzilla who falls into the water.

#Monsterdon

EDF is going to dance their way to victory! #monsterdon

#monsterdon From bum bum bum to twiddle twiddle twiddle.. oh, soundtrack..

An earthquake AND a godzilla AND a drill-submarine AND a pole, I think this movie is going to just like have everything

#Monsterdon

Behold, the cat-eared Godzilla in all their glory!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

#monsterdon First line of dialog: scrreeeechhh!! Excellent..

Launching my #Monsterdon thread for Godzilla: Final Wars, a movie with Godzilla in it! And maybe also wars! I'm gonna assume a Godzilla/Final Fantasy/Historical Punic Wars cross over until informed otherwise.

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch a monster movie together every week and praise and/or make fun of it in 9999+ posts; if you don't want to see that many posts about Godzilla and how handsome and stompy he is, feel free to mute the hash tag.

All these years later, growing up watching the original Black and white Godzilla movies. Seeing how the character has changed between then and now. I always wanted a Godzilla suit. I still want one, even more now that I've seen this one with those little ears!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

good job team and thanks as always to @Taweret -in-absentia for hosting or i guess this week organising

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

@ColesStreetPothole only the finest high-concentration batshittery from toho

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting in absentia (sending positive thoughts your way ✨) this Extraordinarily Exhausting Episode! Cannot imagine how I can possibly sleep now.

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! "Drill baby drill" was my favorite.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Wow. And you all were on top of every scene! It's going to take me at least two more days to catch-up with comments. Big fun tonight!

@rberlim he's like a mix of stalin and r2-d2 in that everyone understands r2-d2 even though he only talks beeps and everyone understands stalin because he'll kill you if you don't

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

I still don't get it why colonel moustache could speak another language and yet, understand and be undestood by everyone else.
#monsterdon

When #monsterdon is over already.

Is there a scholarly analysis of this film? #monsterdon

I feel there are many layers.

@plaidtron3000 prequel to Atlantic Rim #monsterdon #godzillafinalwars

#Monsterdon 🦖🦁🐶🐉🐢🐸🦣🦅🐧🦔🦭🦞🦀🦑🐙🕷️😱

ps that's the only time tubi.com has let us watch the end credits!

@Newpa_Hasai @Terencio i think shorten the end fight and remove one of the movies from the movie, i think the matrix didn't need to be in it

#monsterdon #GodzillaFinalWars

@moira @Terencio How would a shorter cut even work? I guess with fewer human things and the aliens just directly deploy monsters?

#Monsterdon

The sea is bathed with blood?
#Monsterdon

I participate in #Monsterdon on my phone, and the best option I have for using the hashtag is copying and pasting it

The clipboard forgets something I copy exactly one hour after I first use it, so I always have to re-type #Monsterdon and copy it again an hour into the movie

I think this is the first time the movie is so long I've had to do that TWICE

Definitely had the most stuff per second of any Godzilla movie

#monsterdon

Tarkus!

#monsterdon
#GodzillaFinalWars

I missed what happened to Mothra. Does it matter? #Monsterdon

Oof. A building just fell on Godzilla, and he's not Buster Keaton.

#Monsterdon

Godzilla: "Anyone know who's kid this is?"

#monsterdon #godzillafinalwars

They REALLY thought this was going to end the franchise.

#Monsterdon

RIP Sydney Opera House, I will miss you 😔 #Monsterdon

And finally. A proper fucking off into the sea. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖🦁🐶🐉🐢🐸🦣🦅🐧🦔🦭🦞🦀🦑🐙🕷️😱

Excellent end credits montage!

#Monsterdon I'm hoping for bloopers

#Monsterdon well, that sure made up for all the times we've complained a Monsterdon movie had too little happening :D

thanks for joining, everybody

Yes! This is the synth solo I have been waiting for all night. Keith Emerson on a Hammond FTW!

#Monsterdon

C'mon, I want to see Mothra and the twins before the end #monsterdon

Well, look at that - they're f'ing off into the sea!

#monsterdon
#GodzillaFinalWars

Those are some post-Second-Impact seas

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🦖🦁🐶🐉🐢🐸🦣🦅🐧🦔🦭🦞🦀🦑🐙🕷️😱

CLINT has made it to the final scenes!

This walk into the sunset is totally Keith Emerson. Seriously good synth. #monsterdon

NO KISS?! You're killing me

#Monsterdon what… what was Captain Mustache's plan with the katana just then? Was he gonna give Godzilla a pedicure?

this is dumb

#Monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai Metal commas are of no use #monsterdon

I honestly always tear up at the end.

Ainu guy saying to Godzilla, enough, forgive them is... Well.. #GodzillaFinalWars #monsterdon

I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth

#Monsterdon

and the slow pan around, in case you didn't understand. #monsterdon

He looks cool. And he's got more beam weapons. But I've always felt Kaiser Ghidorah is less effective at fighting Godzilla than he was in his Monster X form.
#GodzillaFinaWars #Monsterdon

Apparently you can use nice swords as walking sticks, now.
