okay, that freezing effect was genuinely really nice #Monsterdon

I want to give this Godzilla a scritch between the ears. What a good pupper!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsDestroyah

The pilot's helmet was modeled off of a very expensive melon #monsterdon

Deploy the sacrificial self defense force march music. It's our last hope against Godzilla.
Which for some reason my brain always starts chanting "I want some juice and lemonaid~" at part of it when it picks up.
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

the alka-seltzer missiles are working! #monsterdon

Okay, soundtrack by Sousa, great #Monsterdon

Always good to have a jaunty military parade march for a big monster scene. #Monsterdon

It's the classic "Ineffective military response" music! #Monsterdon #godzillavsdestroyah

I like this march. Is this the official march of the SX-3 program?

#monsterdon

this is some jaunty music

#monsterdon

"But who will pilot it?"

"It will be one of our best pilots."

Good plan, sir. That's just who I would have chosen. #monsterdon

@strangefour @otheorange_tag stop you're making me hungry #monsterdon

@Louisa Monster contracts are strangely explicit about this sort of thing. #Monsterdon

I turned down a job offer to work in the "Office of Special Plans" once. 😕 #Monsterdon

I'm deeply worried we are not going to get a dance/musical scene
#Monsterdon

The SX III? Did Elon Musk name that thing? #Monsterdon

Thunderbirds are GO!

#Monsterdon

@DinosaurRobo Good artists borrow great kaiju steal. #Monsterdon #godzillavsdestroyah

Crustacean reptilians, except not #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I'm very unclear why the news lady needed help from Mr. Science to escape from the Kaiju-menaced car.

@bunnyhero It'd be easier if its head weren't two meters wide #monsterdon

Don't just DO something, scream and look grossed out #monsterdon

"tinned food is so hard to open these days" #monsterdon

"Reptile like" #Monsterdon

hand drawn lightning always make me smile

#monsterdon

@trixter Maybe crustacean-like was too many syllables? #Monsterdon #godzillavsdestroyah

Relax lady, he's just there to pimp your ride. #Monsterdon

Oh yeah, this is the one where they sorta do "Aliens" for a while.

Well, there pulling it off better than last week when they tried to do 'Terminator'.

#Monsterdon

"The creatures are reptile like and dangerous." Reptilian? Really? It's a hideous crab thing.
Also: Destroyah says ACAB
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

@nev usually followed by "nani boo boo?!" :-) #Monsterdon

monster POV shot is very old school dr who

#monsterdon

I think he was going to be fine, but then he crashed right through that plate glass window. You don't get up after something like that. #Monsterdon

ARE they reptile-like though? #Monsterdon

"Nani?!" Famous last words. #Monsterdon

Gotta love the rocket-propelled grenades that shift the target into the Phantom Zone. Saves on cleaning up corpses.

#Monsterdon

@socketwench "Storage compartments?! Storage compartments?!" #Wrongety #Monsterdon

I think I heard half a wilhelm scream #monsterdon

You see, oxygen turns crabs into dinosaurs, it's simple

#Monsterdon

10/10 scary monsters, would not want to be devoured by. #Monsterdon

Soldiers Boots Scuffles in a Hallway ASMR

#monsterdon

the use of excessive force has been approved #Monsterdon

Godzilla vs Destroyah came out in 1995
Gamera vs Legion in 1996, hmm.
Godzilla (american style) in 1998...
But the Raptors in Jurassic Park were 1993. Hmm.
No I see no relation between these movies with man sized monsters attack in packs. None at all.
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

#Monsterdon Okay I like the cute little toy navy boat that is chasing Godzilla. It's obviously a model boat but it looks so adorable.

release the smol oxygen!

#monsterdon

first you don't want me to make a super weapon, now you want me to make one just because godzilla will kill everyone if i dont. make up your mind

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon There's some kind of B-Plot where the science nerds find signs of life somewhere... I guess in little glass sample jars.

And now there's another plot where an aquarium guard discovers fish that are electrically melting or something. Damn, that's got to be hard to explain to your boss...

"Yeah... I dunno ma'am I was just there guarding the fish and then they like... flashed and melted? I think the water killed them somehow? Maybe it was witchcraft?"

Well, there goes his bonus. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Suito + Nerdo: We can't attack Godzilla. If you attack Godzilla he will explode and everyone will die.
Army Guy: What? That's outrageous! Our entire job is to attack godzilla uselessly! We can't just sit around and do nothing. What would that accomplish?
Other Girl: Let's compromise and attack godzilla with chemical superweapons that destroy oxygen!
Everybody: ... What a Great Idea!

BINGO! #Monsterdon

i didn't say explode. i said godzilla goes off sometimes

#monsterdon

Sweet zoom-in. "Explode?" #Monsterdon

#monsterdon We need to start paying more attention to "strange readings", even when they're within tolerance.

atoms... can penetrate... any metal? is a reptile a member of the snake family? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon "Godzilla is really just a hobby. And conferences never resolve anything." wisdom.

#Monsterdon loving this wacky anti-godzilla conference room with the ring of CRT TVs facing outward and everyone has a phone that they can use to listen to the Washington news lady and the almost-Vladimir Lenin lookalike guy.

Zoom was a little different before everyone had computers.

Does he count as an enthusiastic child? Too old? #Monsterdon

NO DO NOT READ RANDOM SHIT THAT COLLEGE BOYS ARE SAYING ABOUT GODZILLA ON THE INTERNET #Monsterdon

please feel free to mute me for the next 2 hrs as I will be live tooting on #monsterdon #GodzillaVsDestroyah Gonna try the #Japanese version :D

#Monsterdon Loving the title sequence where the word ゴジラ appears and then EXPLODES! And then there's like an exploding bottle of mutagen or something? Hard to tell.

Then we get to watch Godzilla smash through Hong Kong during the opening credit sequence. Ah... such efficient storytelling.

The red "something is not right with that" Godzilla suit is my favorite of the the post '95 era. #Monsterdon #godzillavsdestroyah

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsDestoroyah is a go!

This movie starts with a lot of flying vehicles and transportation infrastructure; like shots of airplane pilots, a helicopter lady and a control tower.

Then Godzilla appears and starts lasering a city... and for a change of pace it's not Tokyo but Hong Kong.

Godzilla looks more orange than usual in this movie.

hong kong 1996 means this was pre-handover #monsterdon

He has such beautiful eyes. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Everybody but Miki #monsterdon

Wait-- we didn't *actually* see Baby Godzilla die, did we? #monsterdon

@legalquilts Probably pheromones #monsterdon

@strangefour

God Light background for Godzilla!!

#monsterdon

@joewynne @Taweret Soon enough incorporated into ChatGPT's next training set #monsterdon

The gooey meltdown of Godzilla is an upsetting image.
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

@paco I think they meant it all ran down into the core of the Earth, no muss no fuss #monsterdon

@Taweret

Thanks again for hosting a spectacular movie for everyone to enjoy!

#Monsterdon viewers,
Thank you for the fantastic analysis! Film schools around the world have already inquired about access to this treasure trove of commentary!

@strangefour If Junior hatched from an egg I question that gender identification #monsterdon

This isn't a great Godzilla movie. But it manages to make the threat of Godzilla's nuclear power going out of control a threat and a menace. Which only the first one and Shin have had a similar feeling of unstoppable disaster.
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

Thanks, everybody. #monsterdon

@yatsu He's nuking angels now T_T #Monsterdon

Toshiba! Gratuitous product placement, I miss you! #monsterdon

the saddest Godzilla #monsterdon

Quality cheese. Goodnight, monster people! #Monsterdon

Lots of fun as always, see y'all next weekend! #Monsterdon

So is Destoroyah still alive? Is Tokyo still in jeopardy? #monsterdon

@nev What, this was great! #monsterdon

And then there's this asshole. Throwing Godzilla into that cool convention senter made of upsidedown pyramids. Where will the otaku congregate now?
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

Great movie! This was composer Akira Ifukube's final Godzilla score.

#Monsterdon

Godzilla's a WILD and CRAZY guy! #monsterdon

the 40th anniversary of the original Godzilla and the end of the Heisei era deserved a better movie than this #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social

Awww, this was a goodun! Thanks for hosting!

And congrats 🎉 to all the bingo winners!

#monsterdon

@nev it's junior! #monsterdon

and somewhere up in heaven, Godzilla is destroying a city. ^_^7 #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow Just like Antonin Scalia, yeah. #Monsterdon

Biiiiig yawn!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsDestroyah

love this final shot #monsterdon

Godzilla is a single adoptive father. And now depressed. And having a heart attack.
#Monsterdon #GodzillavsDestroyah

Gödzillerdämmerung #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe @RobynGoodfellow Too soon! #monsterdon

Guess it's time for the Godzilla force to start firing up those resumes. #Monsterdon #godzillavsdestroyah

Was that Godzilla melting or a child's crayon drawing of a T rex? #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow No, but he'll get there as runoff. #Monsterdon
