You'll never be as cool as back-lit Godzilla. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon In the best decision made so far, the army decides to preemptively evacuate Tokyo before the Kaiju battle. This might be the best decision made in any Godzilla movie ever.

I love this shot #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon having reached the end of this movie, I must conclude that this movie was very strange.

I give it a rating of "okay" because kaijus.

Godzilla starts this movie off with a bad case of gas. #Monsterdon

after destoroyah, toho was going to stop making godzilla movies for a while and let hollywood do them. that resulted in the 1998 godzilla with Matthew Broderick #monsterdon

@apLundell It always amazes me how Godzilla will spend literally 75% of the movie in the ocean, but when the time comes to fight? Tokyo it is! #Monsterdon

He's dead, Jim. #Monsterdon

He sparkles. Must be part vampire. #Monsterdon

Those guys clearly sucked at Duck Hunt. #Monsterdon

In the FACE! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon New character just dropped: Pilotman. He is the best pilot. He wears a baseball cap. His job: drive the weird freeze ray airplane.

#Monsterdon Godzilla is doing too much nuclear fission! He now needs more nuclear fuel so he can do more nuclear fission! Oh no! This is very much science.

#Monsterdon protip: always leave a broom in your car in case you have to use it to swat away a baby kaiju that really wants to mess with your car for some reason.

#Monsterdon this episode we're doing another crossover with X-Com, where the player has sent some soldiers into a warehouse to get ambushed by and then eaten by aliens. Only the aliens are like Pre-Cambrian bug giraffe monsters instead of like actual aliens.

Also, its interesting seeing an anti-kaiju fight scene that is inside a building. Normally, armies being crushed by Kaijus is an outdoors activity.

when he was born he was human-sized. then he got much bigger and rounder in godzilla vs spacegodzilla (second picture) #monsterdon

#Monsterdon By the power of the enhance button and CGI... Mr Science has discovered that the fish was... killed by a micro-organism from the pre Cambrian that since then has turned into a weird bug thing because of oxygen magic.

#Monsterdon Characters so far:
Nerdo (boy) - wears a weird vest, wants to study godzilla, is wise
Suito (boy) - hired nerdo. probably has a fancy title
Mr. Science (boy) - inventing micro oxygen; suffers from hubris. uh oh.
Newsie (girl) - asked TUFF questions to Mr. Science on TV
Other Girl (girl) - unhappy with nerdo; I'm not sure why because I was shitposting during that scene.
Other Characters (variable gender) also exist but I don't know what to say about them yet.

#Monsterdon oh shit the news people are talking about making tiny oxygen atoms which has the obvious civilian application of... making giant fish. But if you use it for evil you can also use it to make powerful weapons to wage war.

The civilization with micro oxygen technology is balanced on a razor's edge - on one side abundant sushi... on the other side... war and death. Human beings must choose wisely.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The JSDF is being disproportionately useful in this movie by shooting lasers at the evil bug monster at a critical time and by periodically making Godzilla chill out. Usually, they at best distract the monster for a little bit then get crushed.

This movie might have gotten publicity money from some defense agency?

#monsterdon And so we say farewell to the Heisei era.

If you want to see more of dubbers who can't pronounce "nuclear", here's a fun compilation from YouTube from the Transformers anime they dubbed:

*youth pastor voice* Hey kids, Godzilla is cool, but do you know who ELSE died and came back to life? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon After a close range boxing match, Destroyah is flying around dragging Godzilla with his tail like Achilles dragging Hector on his chariot.

Meanwhile, I'm very disappointed in the ESP ladies for not apologizing to Godzilla Junior enough. The Imperial Japanese Army guy apologized to 1944 Godzilla profusely for the horrendous crime of not being able to save him from bazookas and artillery. The ESP ladies did much worse; they should have to apologize more.

hello, my name is Godzilla. You killed my son. Prepare to die. #monsterdon

Kick his ass, Seabass! #Monsterdon

I love the airplanes just taxiing around.

Yeah there's a monster fight, but they've still got to pick up passengers at gate twelve. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ESP ladies, you BETTER APOLOGIZE TO JUNIOR GODZILLA RIGHT NOW for using him as BAIT in your KAIJU TRAP!

#Monsterdon I like how Godzilla and Junior meet and nod and have a little moment. I wanted them to do a little dance, but it was nice that they got to say hi.

Anyway, then a building explodes and an EVEN BIGGER DESTROYER appears. I am not sure how he keeps getting bigger.

Also, Pilotman is returning to freeze Godzilla more... so he explodes less I guess. Mr. Science spent a lot of time explaining why they have to freeze godzilla more but not very much explaining how the Destroyer levels up.

"He's heading towards the bay!"

"Where could he be going?"

TO THE BAY!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon on no Destroyah is eating Junior! This is brutal! But Junior hits back with a lightning blast... repelling the giant evil bug monster. Go Junior Go!

After this Tokyo is gonna have one hell of a LobsterFest. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The ESP ladies are having a workplace chat. One of them is a paleontologist who is good with dinosaurs but wants "an ordinary life" with a husband and kids.

I have trouble believing that anyone who becomes a paleontologist wants an ordinary life. In mind, paleontologists are all people who would ride around on hadrosaurs screaming about cladistics if hadrosaurs were still alive.

#Monsterdon Good news! We shot godzilla with enough ice bombs, so now his nuclear fission levels are going down! This is definitely how nuclear fission works!

Also, in another room with computers, we are making micro oxygen freeze pops to use against the giraffe bugs.

@strangefour We're going to need a LOTTA butter! #Monsterdon

I don't think flamethrower/firebomb attacks in a building basement is a winning move even if it kills one or two of them #monsterdon

The Japanese take "hide and seek" very seriously, it seems. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon an amazed crowd of dudes in suits have arrived at the aquarium to watch videos of the melting fish.

In other words, its a Tuesday.

Can someone explain #Monsterdon? You know, for the newbies. Because I definitely know what it's all about.

I'm glad somebody's standing guard over the fish. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "I'm not a mad scientist."

That's EXACTLY what a mad scientist would say!

@WhiskeySailor Micro Oxygen is like regular oxygen but the atoms happen to be microscopic #monsterdon

So... The world was destroyed at the end of that movie, right? They said if Godzilla melted down it'd cause a China Syndrome-style thing and Godzilla absolutely did melt down. So everybody's dead, right? #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero Destoroyah made me cry. And so did the 1998 American Godzilla. In completely opposite ways. #monsterdon

No animals were harmed in the making of this film, however three trombonists had to be subbed in due to over-exertion and one Tuba player is recovering from hernia surgery. #Monsterdon

Thanks for hosting another monster movie night @Taweret
The final montage is fun. A trip down giant radioactive lizard lane.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla

Don't worry. There will always be more Godzilla (movies).
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

#Monsterdon Mournful choral music scene as Godzilla is frozen and then melts. Is this the end of Godzilla?

Also, we get an Aesop on why nuclear energy is Very Bad.

That was a pretty cool-slash-smoking hot #Monsterdon thanks @Taweret !

What a swan song for Godzilla. Not much substance, but a lot of good model destruction ^^ #Monsterdon

ty for joining, everyone!!!

#monsterdon

is...is he waving goodbye #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Godzilla was being sad that his kid died and then the Destroyer monster came back to life and shot him with a laser! What a dick move, Mr. Destroyer monster.

Gonna guess that Godzilla will shoot the destroyer with one super radiation blast before he melts down and/or explodes.

#monsterdon It's the big one, Elizabeth. I'm coming

He died as he lived, destroying cities. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Amazed that this movie seems to make even less sense than the last Monsterdon movie, which had time travelling winged muppet cats that turned into a three headed dragon that later turned into an undead cyborg.

Human weaponry being actually effective against one of these things is a far bigger twist than anything else we've seen so far. #Monsterdon

Awww he held on just long 😭 enough to say good-bye! #Monsterdon

"I have a feeling this is gonna be Godzilla's last fight."
And so did Toho. They were trying to end the Heisei series with a bang for a few movies. vs MechaGodzilla was almost going to be the end... or vs SpaceGodzilla... but they kept changing plans/making money so...
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

@strangefour At long last, the cancellation of Airwolf is explained. #Monsterdon

TC!? MAGNUM!? NOOO!!!
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

#monsterdon Godzilla should be literally melting the pavement.

United 231, go around, we have Kaiju fight but should be clear in five
#Monsterdon

It's time for the big battle of the titanic titans in Tokyo! #Monsterdon #toys

Traffic's actually moving well on the Tokyo expressway #monsterdon

Flights boarding as usual while Kaiju take off from the runway in back

#Monsterdon

Oh and Godzilla is moving in with the hip check and a quick series of jabs, Destoroyah is holding back with the lazer breath but it's not looking good, OH AND THE HOOK TAIL OUT OF NOWHERE I'm Howard Cosell how can this be considered a legitimate sport... #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Oh no we dropped baby godzilla into a building and he exploded! RIP Junor?

Every time a Kaiju drops another Kaiju I just think of that scene in Dogma where the psycho angel reveals his wings and then just picks people up and drops them for like an hour.

Requiem for a Baby Nuke Lizard #Monsterdon

@jesse_saenz The whole reason there was a Junior was so they could kill the big one and not end the franchise. #Monsterdon

Destoroyah princess carrying junior, he's so swe- oh. Oops! Dropped the baby. #Monsterdon

He's bitter because he was denied a melon helmet for budgetary reasons because of the overruns on the spiral elevator #monsterdon

#monsterdon I’ll tell you what I wasn’t sure about the first time, but I think a second trip on the lady susan elevator was a strong directorial choice

I think they should consider treating Red with hormone replacement therapy, at least as a palliative measure #monsterdon

Hotzilla and Smolzilla together again :blobaww: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Kudos for that glowing Godzilla costume

#Monsterdon I am unclear how the evil Kaiju all fly in these movies? Like they seem to fly really slow... or maybe glide. Do they have antigravity or something.

Why did part of the ceiling of the Satellite of Love just low into frame? For what purpose?
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah #MST3K

@WhiskeySailor nothing beats miniature city sets for this kind of destruction #monsterdon

@yatsu probably ESP girls have Care Bear Energy I guess? #Monsterdon

Crab legs for everyone! #monsterdon

@whknott I'm still mixed up whether this "Junior" is supposed to be a whole different Godzilla from the red one before #monsterdon

#monsterdon Godzilla Jr CC: Now how would Big Brother trample a city?

#Monsterdon Nerdo suggests the obvious... get the two giant monsters to fight. The General calls this preposterous; I am not sure why, as this has worked in every other Godzilla movie so far.

The plan is to use Junior to lure Godzilla into fighting the giant flying bug destroyer. The ESP ladies are divided in this, because one of them likes Junior.

Cops waving their batons to pedestrians really believed they were having an effect, didn't they? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Mr Science named the big monster "Destroyah" because... um... I guess its not just a micro-oxygen monster but also a micro-oxygen-destroyer monster? This movie may be trying to unite all the scientists against it.

Anyway, it can destroy everything. Its power is that awesome. We are told this with Much Gravitas.

Make the monsters fight each-other? Preposterous!

#monsterdon

I'LL GIVE YOU A GODDAMN CRABBY PATTY YOU BASTARDS #monsterdon

#Monsterdon More military march music as the JSDF brings tanks and giant ice-ray turbolaser things to I guess fight the bugs.

We get more gorgeous round Type 74 tanks, and also the later, more boring looking square tanks (probably Type 90s) fighting the cool bug giraffes in a model battle.

The bugs take fire and do a little dance. We are told the new mr freeze bombs "worked" but then the creatures form bug voltron somehow. oops.

@edsu You can't BUY that kinda publicity! #MonsterDon

Maybe this is commonplace now, but I like how #monsterdon displays Content Warnings so they stand out from other posts.

#monsterdon Freezer Masers and the poor bastards who gonna die in them

"That SX-3 set was expensive, we're going to have to use that at least twice to get our money's worth." -someone at Toho, obviously
#monsterdon

smol godzilla vs smol oxygen

#monsterdon

Oh, cadmium is a reactor poison. That's why they used it. #Monsterdon

I wonder if "Serious guy in suit," puts that in his film credits? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Godzilla popsicle, now in three fantastic flavors: Radium, Plutonium, and U-235!

Oh, they're giving Godzilla alka-seltzer for his heartburn, that should help. #Monsterdon

The lasers have frozen him. And filled his nose with icy snot.
