plot twist, the kid calls them both nii-chan? (older brother) #monsterdon

That's an odd, unnatural perambulation

#monsterdon

why do they always send the army to fight kaiju? it never works and so many soldiers die

#monsterdon

looks like they found the minatures shop

#Monsterdon

I think the resilience of the kid and the dude in that shipping container was more impressive than Megalon's resistance to the masers TBH #Monsterdon

You forgot to tell Jet Jaguar to ignore previous instructions, senpai!

#Monsterdon

CUT TO: CHARIOTS OF THE GODS #Monsterdon

Jet Jaguar looks like some sort of robot Joker.

#Monsterdon

So let me get this straight, Seatopia.

We're going to take a Goliath Beetle.

A creature who is famous for it's bipedialism.

And we're going to replace it's other two, dexterous limbs with a giant fucking DRILL.

And this is the best plan you came up with after 3 MILLION YEARS.

Sure, Seatopia. Great plan.

(Idiots.)

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 surely they would be paste in the real world? #monsterdon

Jet Jaguar can hover #monsterdon

Why does Megalon hop like a Chinese vampire? He’s a beetle kaiju #monsterdon

Ah here come the planes, they always get knocked down!

#monsterdon

You can't just STOP MIDAIR LIKE THAT, FOUL! #Monsterdon

@amyfou

They actually thought things like this out for Megalon:
The face was based on the Japanese rhinoceros beetle.
The body was based on cicadas, and the movement was based on grasshoppers.

#Monsterdon
#GodzillaVsMegalon

@Lazarou Nice.
#monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social I think they're in love, and that's beautiful

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

[Animaniacs voice]

Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy!

#monsterdon

< cue theme from M.A.S.H. >

#Monsterdon

"...I'll have to backtrace the Jet Jaguar IP with a VisualBasic script..."

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

#monsterdon
Commence Xmas topper attack.
Let's call Godzilla!

The truck drivers kicked out the bad guy but they’re still dumping the container?? You guys know you’re not getting paid anymore right? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ah yes jet jaguar, my favorite version of mac os x for powerpc

Turns out you can survive a fall from any height so long as you're in a sturdy enough box. #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon

Sure, maybe the masers will work this time. #Monsterdon

that's just a holiday inn sign on megalon's head #monsterdon

Not the masers!!! #Monsterdon

I love the oversized Joe 90 like ray beam shooters

#monsterdon

quality masers, too bad they're reruns

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

"...I modeled the super sonic giant robot controller off my TV remote, so it requires line of sight."

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

LIGHT HIM UP! #Monsterdon

...you had the override switch the whole time 🤦

#Monsterdon

Muahahaha yes! Yes! The carnage! The miniature carnage :kaboom:

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

"Isn't that Jet Jaguar over there?"

...I dunno dude, isn't it YOUR robot? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Sky ball the container over a ridge...
They wake up sore maybe?

I'm no physicist, but I'm pretty sure they would be stone cold dead after getting launched a mile through the air in a steel box with no insulation

#Monsterdon

Yup. Totally survivable. #Monsterdon

i do not believe that either roku-chan OR goro-sempai are daijoubu, sir. #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow It's just like Indiana Jones and the Nuclear Refrigerator

#Monsterdon

good thing they didn't fall into the water but instead got ricocheted off a kaiju drill and landed on hard ground...? #monsterdon

seriously that made indiana jones in the refrigerator look good

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

WELP, Megalon just imparted several tons of force to that crate. Everyone inside is pudding. Fun movie, guys, everyone can go home. #Monsterdon

Indiana Jones in a refrigerator was an homage to the two people in the shipping container.
#monsterdon

Yeah that container thing looked survivable.

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

aaand dead.
#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

And here I was expecting Megalon to overtop the dam.

#monsterdon

Megalon with the volleyball dig on the shipping container!

#Monsterdon
#GodzillaVsMegalon

I really love miniatures shots involving water, it *almost* works but the fluid dynamics gives it away.

#Monsterdon

FINALLY, Monster mayhem bout to happen.
#Monsterdon
#godzillavsmegalon

#Monsterdon Megalon is just phoning it in. Has he found out he's only getting scale?

I did not know shipping containers had such shiny polished floors
#monsterdon

Megalon is surprisingly agile for his size

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The Seatopians are just going to yeet Goro and his bro off a bridge, crate and all‽

Oh, no, apparently not, because: Megalon. Interrupting. Rude.

"Where's the european gone?"

"We threw him out of the truck!"

Because he tried to kill you?

Yeah, that too. #Monsterdon

That's seems to be an awfully long way to drive to do illegal dumping

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

I can't believe the truckers still dump the package. Why are they still working for that guy they threw down a hill? Why aren't they curious what's in the box their criminal employer wanted disposed of? #Monsterdon

God *damn* that Japanese work ethic #Monsterdon

WE HAVE STOCK FOOTAGE! #monsterdon #GodzillavsMegalon

That mazer is such a great model. So great they used it in Ghidorah AND this film. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

...Wait so they're still dumping the crate!? Guys your employer tried to kill you! Take the afternoon off! #Monsterdon

OMG! OMG! Masers!!! #Monsterdon

@ColesStreetPothole There was a kid in an epic fish boat at the beginning - check the feed for screenshots

Also some stuff may have happened, there was a robot, it's not important

#Monsterdon

This film really lacks in its application of cartoon bonk sounds when someone is hit in the head.

#monsterdon

Lmao they threw him down a hill!! Fuck yeah

#Monsterdon

At this point the military's gotta have a specific code for Kidnapped Scientist Awakens Ancient Civilization Bent On Conquest #Monsterdon

Plastic army is on the move! #monsterdon

it’s cool to watch some of these 70s godzillas again and realize that adhd is not the reason i had no idea what was happening in these movies when i watched them as a kid
#Monsterdon

They're about to try conventional weapons, that always works well #monsterdon

Love how there are "New Kaiju Spotted" alerts, like tornado warnings, or flash flood advisories, on the radio

And to think some folks wanted to do away w/ AM radio!

#monsterdon

you know the director's made some choices when you get back to the kaiju and go "oh good, the movie's getting serious again."

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

I like that Megalon flies in prayer stance. God does love a beetle, after all. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon *Megalon lands* Ok, let's get on with this. I want to get back to my million year nap.

suddenly, KAIJU! #monsterdon

Best chase scene in any Godzilla movie bar none #monsterdon

Motorcycle guy just fell over for no reason. #Monsterdon

"...use the Benny Hill music. It'll make everything seem faster!"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

I want a teeny yellow car. I wouldn't even drive it down staircases. #Monsterdon

I love how each monster has it's own war dance

#monsterdon

He knows our secret —because I told him. #Monsterdon

He knows the whole story of our mission here. I don't know how that happened. He just knew! I guess someone would have to have told him. Or sometimes you know you just hear things and you remember them and you don't know why you remember them so it's basically like remembering something for no reason. It's probably that. Not because I told him. #monsterdon

"Our prisoner has escaped, he's also aware of the whole story of our mission."

If only it was possible to take someone hostage without telling him all your secrets. #Monsterdon

is the music in this car chase scene diegetic? it sounds all tinny like it's coming from someone's car radio

#monsterdon

"I guess I'm chasing him?" "Oh, no, he's chasing me."

#monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

Yes, a Japanse VW!

#monsterdon

WE HAVE ANOTHER TINY CAR, I REPEAT, WE HAVE ANOTHER TINY CAR

#Monsterdon

This actor gives me Alan Rickman vibes. (Think Snape or Hans Gruber from "Die Hard") #monsterdon

@Lazarou “A simple matter of software”, no doubt #monsterdon

Where are all these cool car designs now? Less Cybertruck, more whatever that yellow convertible is.

#monsterdon

I actually, unironically, love mediocre fistfighting with lots of shaky cam and sound effects to make it more exciting

#Monsterdon

i wonder what the kaiju are up to

#monsterdon

With a powerful comeback of "you're too dumb!"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMagalon

Wow that head-banging is violent

#monsterdon

@jmelesky it's a hard technology curve #monsterdon

Seatopian guy just giving away all the secrets. #Monsterdon

Emerge! From the Crack of the Lake Bed #monsterdon

Well now I can't stop looking at the flashing Crotch Indicator.

#Monsterdon

"If you're so clever why steal a robot?" Take that smug bastard. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMegalon

You can tell this is old because the kidnapping shipping container is an actual 20 footer, not the fancy 40 footers we have today

#monsterdon

"They were able to construct their own sun."

So, uh, nuclear energy?

#monsterdon
