Man, that Teletubbie bug has some wild laser power! ⚡

#Monsterdon

Wait, so everyone brought green bean casserole, and NO ONE brought armor-piercing shells?!?

#Monsterdon

I'm sure there's a really selfindulgent thinkpiece on Japanese propaganda and linking these Godzilla films to anime like Gate

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

They didn't even TRY dialog with the monster.

#Monsterdon

@jepyang that is a gawddamned mood. #Monsterdon

Pew pew pew pew pew pew

#Monsterdon

The masters are not doing the job, alas. Who could possibly have seen this coming. #monsterdon

Megalon is great, how do I hire his landscaping business?

#monsterdon

Attack of the stock footage from the last decade of kaiju movies! Can you spot all the shots from War of the Gargantuas?
#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

#Monsterdon it's like the indiana jones crystal skull nuke fridge all over again

JSDF hates it when characters in other scenes say "line of sight" #Monsterdon

@Taweret They're the lucky ones! #Monsterdon [[fekken phone]]

Coach Z calls him "Jerp Jerger" #monsterdon

they shoulda named him konpeitohead or something

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

and we welcome Megaro to the Convential Weapons portion of our program... #monsterdon

Roxannnne. (I don't know the rest of the lyrics)

#monsterdon

Bonzai i guess
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon A good engineer always has a backup controller. Hopefully with a self desctruct button.

Everyone talking about Indiana Jones and some refrigerator. I don't know what you're talking about.

Fourth film? What are you smoking, even? 😏

#monsterdon

So, I hate to be 'That Guy' who drags, like, physics into a chat about a cheesy movie, but...

If you're tied up in a steel container, which gets drop-kicked by a kaiju over a considerable distance... you're probably going to want to see a doctor right away.

#monsterdon

Does the JSDF have a special anti-kaiju division in this universe? That’s delightful #monsterdon

Oh Megalon you're such a klutz #Monsterdon

Perhaps Jet Jaguar can be controlled with more egalitarian commands

#GodzillaVsMegalon
#monsterdon

...they would be dead in that metal box. #monsterdon

@Taweret zombie kid and zombie husband

never made that sequel tho'

too grim

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Megalon is by far the most human-in-a-suit Godzilla monster I've seen, and almost twenty years into the franchise too. I'm impressed.

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

I see they have different physics in 197x Japan #monsterdon

The container toss is pure cinema.
#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

How much head trauma has this kid had in 1 day?

#Monsterdon

It's just a scratch. They'll walk it off.
#Monsterdon
#godzillavsmegalon

like that fall was not survivable. they're dead

#monsterdon

Every time Megalon makes an appearance I keep being surprised ee isn't a giant shark.

That's what I get for misreading the movie's title as Godzilla vs. Megalodon I guess...

#Monsterdon

Mwahaha #Monsterdon

Right now the little robot fella is just irritating Megalon, I hope nothing wildly implausible happens to even things out.....

#monsterdon

@ricci But we we're still going to dump this container into the dam like he paid us to -- deal's a deal!

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow #physics #GodzillaVsMegalon
#monsterdon

They really said "so yeah we got this whole pool filled on the set we're just going to dump it all on the back of you and push you across the sound stage"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

I ... what? #monsterdon

If only he had hands instead of drills, he could have just grabbed the truck.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon F never equals ma in Kaiju movies.

Dam fine cup of Megalon. Dam fine.
#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

HOME RUN! Seatopia are up 3-2

#Monsterdon

WAT #monsterdon

I think they spent their entire budget on that dam collapse. Really well done.

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

oh no. they died

#monsterdon

Oh my goodness that poor actor in the megalon suit

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

sir, just turn the car on and drive away. -- uh, whoops. #monsterdon

Sweet toss by the bug!
Sweet freedom!
#Monsterdon

I can relate to the guys inside the metal box trying to understand what the hell is happening outside

#GodzillaVsMegalon
#monsterdon

@rberlim they don't want to throw the exception, while in the container? #NerdSnort #Monsterdon

so much floating concrete!

#monsterdon

Megalon's not the brightest beetle on the tree. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Megalon is clearly weak to Water-type attacks. #Monsterdon

Oh man those two would be paste inside that shipping container when it landed

#Monsterdon

finally, kaiju doing stuff and models getting wrecked

#monsterdon

They did the water effects pretty well in this, and that's genuinely hard. Waters and miniatures are just nightmares.

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

What's Megalon even *doing*!?

(Is he....is he peeing in there?)

#monsterdon

Giant Bug is all CANNONBALL!! Into the water

#Monsterdon

He should have driven the car up those stairs.

#Monsterdon

EAT LIBERTY #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon #HellDivers2

Hooray, Megalon smash!

#Monsterdon

Awesome dam miniature. Surely nothing bad will happe—

#Monsterdon

convenient that Jinkawa-san known how to operate the truck. #monsterdon

And it seemed like the home video license was lost or something cause it got released by dozens of different companies on VHS over decades.
#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Did I miss a beat while I was trying to remember "freakin it sensitive style" why are they dumping this child and his emotional support adult in the lake again? #monsterdon

what the hell, they are still throwing the cointainer? Why???
#monsterdon

While I was cooking, I had the English dub on because I could understand what was going on (at least inasmuch as the English dialogue usually rewrites the events at least a little)

Then switched over to the sub once I could put eyes on the screen. What a difference, unsurprisingly.

The actress who voices Rokuro in particular does some *wild* acting in the English dub.

#Monsterdon

listen, dude has a better fit that you, you better do what he says. #monsterdon

Megalon dambuster cannonball, I guess? #monsterdon

Looking forward to all of this miniature military equipment imploding and/or exploding - just ploding, in general

#monsterdon

Oh. Dam. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Megalon: "Hey, you, over there! Got any extra paper?"

#monsterdon

There's always time for a quick bath.

#Monsterdon

It's a giant bug taking a bath!

#Monsterdon

"...we seem to have misplaced your Pod..."

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Megalon was the kaiju movie I saw the most as a kid. It was just on TV ALL THE TIME. Atleast once a month it seemed it was on some Saturday monster movie show with or without Elvira hosting.
#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Oh my god, they killed the guy throwing him out of the truck!
#monsterdon

@diazona @RamenCatholic Referring to the truck pinup poster I think #monsterdon

#monsterdon Monster! May I have a ride please?

Oh good, they're bringing the masers out right away. I thought they were going to try using purely conventional weapons on a giant monster yet again.

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

#GerryAnderson would at least have some atomic-powered rescue rockets

F A B!

#Monsterdon

@Louisa got some really good wwaaaaahh on the way down too!

#monsterdon

Those two guys just threw that man away like garbage. #Monsterdon

Great so far. I haven't been posting since I was putting the finishing touches¹ on some pasta.

Soundtrack continues to deliver and I'm back to attention just in time for the obligatory HUTHUTHUTHUT JSDF sequence. Surely the masers will do the trick *this* time.

¹ doing almost the entire recipe including most of the prep

#Monsterdon

and now the container goes off after him, i guess. #monsterdon

Oh that definitely killed him :turtleFallIntoHole:

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

Jet Jaguar and Megalon are having a showdown on who is the more annoying flyer #monsterdon

Seatopia did not send it's best and brightest for it's above ground operation. That dude in the container truck was flat dumb. #monsterdon

@DinosaurRobo but are they the special masers the _____ masers?! #Monsterdon

@BsCreativeLife Rumour is Seatopia is full of seamen

#Monsterdon

at least we know these drivers are good at throwing things out of trucks #monsterdon

meanwhile, in a better movie

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Japan Defence Force has better theme music than Megalon. Unfair! #monsterdon

haven't we watched excatly this same evacuation on our last Godzilla movie?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Chop to the back! Taht's right! Stupid Shakespeare hair villains.

@trixter Touché #Monsterdon

Sayonnara, sucker. Too bad he doesn't explode a Pinto #Monsterdon

#monsterdon lofi beats to roll toy tanks to. We did another Godzilla movie that did that didn't we (TripHop military rollout in a 60's film)?

Damn that had to hurt
#monsterdon

Megalon lands, IMMEDIATELY CALLS FOR A DANCE OFF #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon
