They are awfully chipper for the destruction of the Earth.

#Monsterdon

Either that readout on godzilla has three decimal places on his height in feet for no discernible reason, or else it's saying he's almost two light-seconds tall #monsterdon

:Thwip:

#Monsterdon

How does the little girl know The Cosmos's name? Or that they aren't tiny dolls?

#Monsterdon
("Repeat to yourself it's just a show I should really just relax.")

Nice of Batra to take the regular streets.

#Monsterdon

No after-credits?

Guess I'm done with #Monsterdon.

That was fun, glad I stayed up for it. Take care, folks!

thank you for inviting us to #Monsterdon @Taweret and thanks to @thegibson for providing a stream to float down

Kid: "Well, was it a good movie?"
Me: "Yeah."
Kid: "Me too."

#Monsterdon

@LexPendragon @mdhughes Well she did let go of Godzilla's tail that one time, I guess that counts for something #monsterdon

Preparing for Hyperspeed...

#Monsterdon

Interesting that this Mothra can fly over populated areas without wrecking everything with gale force winds #monsterdon

@mdhughes Abandoned us?

#Monsterdon

I do believe in Cosmos, I do I do!!

#Monsterdon

ty for joining, everyone!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon They're making the same noise as the Probe from Star Trek IV.

Quick! Someone simulate what it would sound like underwater!

@ryen @thegibson

Aaaand the moneyshot.

#Monsterdon

When your kid grabs the bag of pretzels for you when you carry the other four grocery bags in.

#Monsterdon

@ryen @thegibson

Exhibit C...

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

The searchlight guy is the bravest guy in Japan.

Where are the tanks? Ran away.

But somebody's got to shine a searchlight on this battle.

Damn, I just lost thirty yen in the office pool!

#Monsterdon

Mothra is so kickass and looks great here...matches the upholstery of the living room furniture we had in our house when I was a kid #Monsterdon

@apLundell OOoooh! "Battle Mothra" sounds way better.

#Monsterdon

"Batra saved Mothra"

Wait wut?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Come on! Kiss!

godzilla just forever getting owned by bugs

#Monsterdon

@ryen @thegibson

This movie IS the Rule34...
#Monsterdon

kick arse moth dust does what even molten lava can't #Monsterdon

#monsterdon friendship wins again

#monsterdon

From the Godzilla Wiki :

"Battra's name most likely comes from the common Japanese practice of shortening two words to make one; in this case the combination of the Japanese spelling of Battle Mothra"

That explains why he doesn't look like a bat.

mothra uses stun spore

#Monsterdon

And then they kiss.

#Monsterdon

Batra's wings sound like any ride at Kennywood (local amusement park.)

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

I feel like I'm fixating on a detail, but doesn't it seem crazy that they're running around town with the fairies loose in that cat carrier?

Imagine you put two barbie dolls in a cat carrier and jogged around town? They'd bounce all over the place!

So, professional wrestling stole the whole "dramatic walk to the ring" from Godzilla, right?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I am still laughing at "Bat Larvae"

#monsterdon

So, the reason Mothra is even in this fight, is to save Tokyo?

I feel like if I were Mothra, I'd let Tokyo solve its own problems.

Where is camera?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

It's a good thing they're about the same size.

Bats are usually bigger than moths.

Batra's got arms? And Flames on his wings?

Batra's Badass.

#Monsterdon

No cocoon for Batra. Just BOOF

#Monsterdon

@apLundell moth baby got back #Monsterdon

Godzilla Fo' Shizzle #monsterdon

what is this music

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

They really put a lot of detail into Mothra's ... back end.

see battra doesn't need a cocoon because bat larvae just emit lighting when they metamorphose

#BatLarvaFacts

#Monsterdon

90s mothra look so much better than 60s mothra

#Monsterdon

The smol ladies are singing shite's goin' down now #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Oooo. Sparkly.

"Google maps, find me the nearest Godzilla."

#Monsterdon

they invested considerably in the CGI I'm impressed #Monsterdon

This seems like a really inefficient use of technology.

#Monsterdon

Amazing how a ten story tall kaiju just kind of snuck up on everyone #monsterdon

Is that the American Godzilla's movies "Monarch" logo on his wall?

#Monsterdon

I was under the impression volcanoes erupted at the top, not in a shower of electric sparks on the sides.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

I'll bet those girls really get bounced around in the cat-carrier.

@apLundell It's confusing because usually the silk comes out the other end of the caterpillar, that's the problem #monsterdon

These don't look like toys at all.

AT ALL!!!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Why does nobody in these movies remember how moths work?

"I guess I'll just tear down a few more apartment buildings for the road then" #monsterdon

Mothra's a "He?"

#Monsterdon

Baby's first rescue mission almost crushed the cosmos

#Monsterdon

@apLundell If this were in the US they'd be calling her "the Thing" #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Ooo. Special effects.

holy shit. this kid just assassinating her dad with words

#Monsterdon

What kinda dick evacuates and goes out of their way to knock over the trash?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

I like how the emergency announcements mention Mothra by name.

They don't bother saying "A Monster Is Approaching", because all of Japan is on a first name basis with monsters.

@thegibson It's disorienting to see all these people in the streets and none of them are snapping pictures of the thing with their phone #monsterdon

Mothra also takes the highway. #Monsterdon

damn that kid is brutal

#Monsterdon

some of these scenes in #monsterdon are like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJRepwLawII

#monsterdon

Next time I'm in a town that's being evacuated, I'm going to be that guy that's just shouting OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to provide a nice bed for the rest of the panicked chatter.

Instead of guns, have they considered an oversized porch light to just lead Mothra away?

#Monsterdon

These naval types are really poor shots #monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien Still hard to dance to #monsterdon

"Well we can just wait and see how the Earth is gonna punish us now."

Yeah.

#Monsterdon

Good, I didn't want to wait. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

It's weird that they never even CONSIDER that keeping the girls captive might be a police matter.

Do Fairies not have civil rights under Japanese law?

"Thank you for flying Rebel Alliance air. I've been your pilot, Captain Solo..."

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon this one is really fuckin bad. The dub script is super overwritten to try to match mouth movements

Did Ando break into the naked man's room?

#Monsterdon

Taking Mothra as an eggsample

#Monsterdon

Whatever you say, Tokyo Vice.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

Yes, we'll put the tiny girls into an advertisement!

That will impress people because there's no way we could fake that with special effects.

I'm watching a disaffected couple talk about their relationship. Which one's Godzilla and which one's Mothra? #monsterdon

Yup, I am sure that they're both dead and we won't see them for the last hour of the movie.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
I wonder if SONAR pings damage kaiju hearing.

Okay, that was a typo, I meant to say "Silly String", but it worked out surprisingly well.

#Monsterdon

Batra gets two distance weapons? That doesn't seem balanced. Mothra only gets to spit silky string.

#Monsterdon

I've read this Rule 34 before...

#Monsterdon

"Oh no! They're getting pissed off!"

#Monsterdon

"Missed me, bitch!"

#Monsterdon

My DM used this to explain what a Breath Weapon that does Radiant damage was.

#Monsterdon

Wait... why are these humans fighting?

I looked away for a half second, and now I'm lost.

#Monsterdon

Ah, they have Godzilla Detection installed on their computer

#Monsterdon

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still my favorite Kaiju. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
They've got this whole sciencey monster tracking facility, but they haven't come up with any good plans for DEALING with monsters?

Tax yen well spent.

"this meteorite has caused sea levels to rise, and several typhoons resulted!" yeah that's definitely how those things relate #monsterdon

"Where's he going to go now?"

DISNEYLAND!

#Monsterdon

Panicking people who are making sure to cross at the crosswalk

#Monsterdon

on no i think @georgespolitzer overslept

#Monsterdon
