#monsterdon if you're loooookin for me, I fucked off into the sea after they disintegrate me

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Undying thanks to @Taweret for hosting!!

Tonight we had a wild mix of fun:

* Four, count 'em, monsters!
* A ghostly old man apparition with a pet stone.
* Epic monster battles!
* Drill missiles!
* Magical Mothra dust!
* Synth funk music!

#GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

#Monsterdon actually its probably pretty reasonable that General Mustache is worried about being radioactive after being in the stomach of a giant godzilla that shoots radiation beams.

also really cool of him to salute his colleagues, the giant guardian monsters.

#Monsterdon Weird that Godzilla was defeated this time by boring human ingenuity and heroism instead of by the tag team of awesome giant monsters.

#Monsterdon THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

And that’s the story of how Yuri’s dad survived a dive in the Titan sub #Monsterdon

This ending is so abrupt, the characters did not even realize G was gone and it was over.

Leaving the mysterious old man mystery!

#Monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

Interesting...Godzilla backfires when he has a hole in his exhaust manifold #Monsterdon

They punctured Godzilla's blast gland, nice

#Monsterdon

giving godzilla a tummyache the ultimate strategy #monsterdon

Operation Heart Burn

#Monsterdon

I love when Baragon said "it's Baragon time" and Baragoned all over those guys

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This movie has more near falls than a wrestlemania match

what fucking synthesizer are these sound effects in the synth funk from, they get used all the time in minimal house and other dance music, eg. https://open.spotify.com/track/4qcPI3H14A4BsodhmcZAI6

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon loving the synth laden rising action music while the lady runs around and the submarine floats into position and dramtic things happen.

Good moments of revelation type rising action music.

dang nice bridge collapse #monsterdon

#Monsterdon boat helmet guy giving the Dramatic Orders to protect the Science Ship while General Mustache shoots a drill missile from it.

General Mustache and Japanese Scully have a father-daughter moment. The soldier guys realize they can't arrest her because her dad is the boss.

Also arresting her for no reason was kind of dumb anyway.

Dear military of Japan: I don't mean to tell you your jobs but I think Godzilla calls for a bunch more dice than just one D3. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Godzilla against background of burning city. Flaming Mothra rises. Epic.

@moira nope a fuck off has gotta be voluntary #monsterdon

"Impossible, Ghidora is generating an AT field!" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The JSDF shoots its rocket drill missiles at Godzilla. It didn't kill him but it did make him mad, so he does a mass laser attack and blows up all the rocket trucks and also a navy ship.

Now thinking that the navy ships are actually models that just look like CGI for some reason.

Obi Mothra says, "..if you mouth blast me apart, I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine"

#Monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

#Monsterdon My army dudes, you have MUCH bigger problems than a reporter wannabe. Much big - yeah, like him.

Mothra nooo that's not a lamp you want to go towards!

#Monsterdon

Driller missiles? If Godzilla wasn't anti-vaxx before, he is now. #monsterdon

MOTHRA NO #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Yo General Mustache why is your plan to immediately shoot Godzilla? You know there's two other monsters that also might break everything?

Maybe we should wait to see how the monster battle plays out before using up your drill missiles?

No one told me about hydra on roller skates this fuckin slaps!!! #Monsterdon

I think Mothra is giving Godzilla a wet willie #monsterdon

#Monsterdon and the anti-kaiju headquarters in a skyscraper just got lasered to death. In accordance with prophecy.

#Monsterdon “Good luck everybody! You’re gonna die!” Ok, I laughed.

@howler0502 Kaneko wanted Baragon, Varan, and Anguirus for the Guardian Beasts but Toho thought it would be the last movie and insisted on Mothra and KG for box office. Baragon squeaked through because apparently he’s a cult fave in Japan, like Ang is here. #Monsterdon

Light jab to get things started, Godzilla takes it on the chin, oh he's brushing it off what an insult but here comes Mothra for another pass folks! #Monsterdon

*Mothra dives straight down into one of the search lights, bouncing off of it several times*
"No, turn it off! Turn it off!"
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon General Mustache Dad arrives on a boat to tell the navy dudes to use some missiles. Are these the drill missiles from earlier, maybe? Also, we have to explain that we can fight without liking fighting, because we're Not Klingons damn it!

Also, some weirdos stop to wave at everyone evacuating while telling them that they're going to die.

#Monsterdon Haaaang on. The Godzilla attack that everyone keeps talking about “50 years ago” was buried for secrecy?

They are not good at secrecy.

okay "Best of luck everyone! You're gonna die!" woman is hilarious #monsterdon

good luck everyone, you're gonna die! that's a mood. #2023 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon “He’s heading toward Tokyo!” All roads lead to Rome…

"It's like a monster convention here!"

Best line award!

#Monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

Those girls the original fairies? #monsterdon

Oh that's right. There's no fairies in this one. Just a pair of mysterious twins in the crowd. Boo.

#monsterdon

and #Mothra is here too!

#monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

Yuri I don’t wanna tell you what to do or anything but keeping both hands on the handlebars would be prudent since you’ve already got a head wound but you do you Yuri Babe

#Monsterdon

FINALLY! This is what I'm here for.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon and the airplanes go boom. Excellent aim by Godzilla and his laser breath. Take that puny apes and your puny flying machines!

Also, an ice cave hatches into a monster. And the peanut hatches into a Mothra. I guess the inky blobfish was Mothra's larval form.

Meanwhile, Japanese Scully pedals on her bicycle and tries to interview Godzilla.

mothra hatching under the full moon is so perfect #monsterdon

we didn't think something would EMERGE from the coccoon!

#monsterdon

This TV announcer is amazing.

Really chews the scenery. Which is exactly what you want from your low budget cable news.

#monsterdon

This just in: a giant sex arse is in the ocean off the coast of Calais

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon As scully pedals her Journalism Bicycle toward the Godzilla Event, JSDF Zigs are moved and drop bombs on Godzilla for Great Justice. Godzilla is scorched a bit but also angry.

Excited Reporter reports on this with excessive enthusiasm.

@aprilfollies
It’s not news anymore. It’s just entertainment. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon She's getting Epic footage of the biggest current event in the world?!?
Damn it. Nobody told her to do that!

#monsterdon uhhh, is that a Tanuki Kaiju emerging from the water upside down?

"She's always doing the opposite of what she's supposed to be doing!" She's trying out to be a Doctor Who companion #monsterdon

Oh Gods no, not a giant peanut! Think of the allergies!! #Monsterdon

Is that a headband? Or a comedy bandage?

Also, this bicycle salesman has a voice that sounds like a muppet.

#monsterdon

Looks like Mister Peanut™️ is floating to the rescue #Monsterdon

Giant white styrofoam peanut floating in lake. Film at 11.

#Monsterdon

"...we have sighting of a giant albino peanut in the water"

#Monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

#Monsterdon TAIL YEET! Copter down!

#Monsterdon Existential threat to the country, and the copter journalist is concerned about getting a good shot. Checks out.

#Monsterdon I'm liking this Building Falls Apart sequence for the large round building.

Dismayed that the cutest monster seemingly got lasered to death.

Where do I sign up to be a mysterious old person who hangs around with dramatic music and lighting?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaAllOutAttack

Baragon CC: Not in the face! Not in the face! #monsterdon

Godzilla is like a tube amp, just needs to warm up a little before bringing the beats.🥁

#Monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

#monsterdon "RIGHT IN THE GRAVEL PITS"

If you had a side bet on Baragon taking out the news chopper, you're cashing a fat ticket #monsterdon

Baragon is really neat
She's got spiky sharp toed feet
Into orbit Baragooooon

#Monsterdon #GMK #MonstersAllOutAttack

#monsterdon poor lil big guy needs a tag in!!

dang he kicked him right in the gravel pits

#monsterdon

Godzilla walkin' around with Baragon chomped on his arm, yeah we've all had a dog like that. #Monsterdon

You guys what if all Godzilla really needs is… a friend 🥺 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon jeez I really love the kaiju-deniers

The Howard Cosell of kaiju fights in that helicopter. #Monsterdon #GMK #MonstersAllOutAttack

Godzilla is notoriously weak to gopher tunnels. #Monsterdon

I'd criticize the people sightseeing, but Americans have shown themselves to be just as clueless and stupid. #Monsterdon

Fanduel opening line on Baragon vs Godzilla: Baragon +800 Godzilla -3000 #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Running and screaming will not save you from Mentos Extra Strong Breath.

Sure would be a shame if Kaiju events brought this father and daughter closer together with mutual respect and admiration!

#Monsterdon

Godzilla best photobomber ever. #monsterdon

It's enormous but quite cute actually #ThatsWhatSheSaid #MonsterDog #Monsterdon

ahh godzilla's just going to hakone for a soak in the hot springs #monsterdon

Godzilla has no pupils! Zombie eyes!

#Monsterdon

Was the closeup of the fish a Godzilla '98 easter egg? #Monsterdon

Godzilla looking for the harbor master
#Monsterdon

Godzilla really knows how to make an entrance! #Monsterdon

holy shit the effect of the boat falling into the camera lmao #monsterdon

#Monsterdon the sandworm monster is kind of cute. Like when of them dog-shaped statues that you would set up to guard a Chinese-Irish fusion restaurant. Also it has big bat ears and a horn.

Gonna guess that its a pre-Ghidorah.

Oh, there's no need to worry, that's just Mr. Spock's pet.

#Monsterdon #GiantMonstersAllOutAttack

if the mysterious forest man doesn't ride a kaiju after they came and busted him out from prison i will be so mad #monsterdon

baragon is a puppy tho

#monsterdon

Ok but on the bright side, you guys are free from jail now? #Monsterdon

"If you're sure about it, why don't you put it on your website."

That's such a great 2001 burn.

(I think I said that last time, but I don't care. It's a great line.)

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I was going to call the Pretty Girl who might be a Pretty Boy Egg "Pretty Egg" but maybe I should just call her "Scully", or "Japanese Scully" to use her government name.

Anyway, there's like a roving earthquake. Army lady figured out that this is another giant monster. Also we get a properly computerized Godzilla conference room.

Then scene cut to frightened guy yelling. Then a Sandworm surfaces and points an eye at some jailbirds.

A woman! It’s a woman!! Oh my god guys there’s a woman in uniform, yes yes yes

#Monsterdon

The Guardian Monster is not making a reassuring entrance #Monsterdon

Why aren't Godzilla-deniers considered kooks?

#monsterdon

Everyone complaining that people think Godzilla didn't exist, may I introduce you to COVID? :/ #monsterdon
