Real DuckTales vibes to this temple here :P #Monsterdon

This #Monsterdon is like a Smol Indiana Jones movie!

Man, not only does he desecrate the temple, he's *Christian* D:< #Monsterdon

uh oh, that was a load-bearing figurine #Monsterdon

1992 and they're still ripping of Raiders. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

@bunnyhero @RamenCatholic I like the dubs for #Monsterdon because then you get to hear angry old ladies be the voice of all the children

Oh no ... he doesn't know to replace the idol with a sack of sand!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

#Monsterdon Live action Minecraft!

is indiana jones in this movie? #monsterdon

A big oval object 300 feet across is falling to Earth... Is this Gamera?
Oh no. That meteor just broke Godzilla's snooze alarm. He's awake once again!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

You can already tell this is not an American newscast because they gave a mass measurement in real units instead of saying "it weighs three Empire State Buildings plus 437 toasters" #monsterdon

"approximately 93.25 meters in diameter"

approximately

#Monsterdon

"Off the coast in the ocean. The Pacific ocean."

Yes good, very specific science

#Monsterdon

Inappropriately accurate estimates #monsterdon

"How big is it?" Getting personal right off the bat. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Amiga Video Toaster nominal #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon go go go!!

@apLundell asteroid's gonna trash the environment too

REAL bad

#monsterdon

I really didn't understand the ending of tonight's #monsterdon

Batura was an evil being created by mankind's foolish destruction of the environment and/or the weather-control machine, right?

But also it was planning on flying up into space to destroy an asteroid?

@cheribaker oh wait a minute!! #monsterdon

@jonny At least they didn't go at them with telepathic young ladies this time #monsterdon

So we are claiming the fairies, Mothra, and Battra as trans icons right? Just checking #monsterdon

@Taweret Mothra is coming to save us!
Mothra: *plows a path of total destruction through the streets, gives no fucks*
ah well, nevertheless
#monsterdon

@tompurl
>Why is the old guy voiced by Tom Waits?

Okay now I'm a little sad I did the subbed version #monsterdon

I am fond of the dark, sad ending of the first Godzilla movie. I think that last scene of Mothra going into deep space to some uncertain fate kind of echoes that. Thanks, @Taweret for hosting this the same day #OsirisRex returned to Earth #monsterdon

@aprilfollies
#Monsterdon : ol reliable. Thats what they call 'er.

@SarraceniaWilds Hugs. Do all those things and whatever else you need to recover from today. #Monsterdon will always be here for you , this week or next.

I agree that Mothra wing scales look more like glitter or pollen than what they purportedly really are #monsterdon

@Louisa Those buildings know what they did. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

And once again, Japan need never worry about Godzilla attacks ever now that he's at the bottom of the ocean #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Godzilla versus Mothra: Battle for the Earth report card:

Dialogue: F-
Plot: ???
Extra Special Effects: A-
Mothra: A+
Battra: B+
Godzilla: dropped to C.

Huh. I thought there was more of a rainbow effect as Mothra flew into space. I guess my memories of this movie was gayer than reality.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

@Zerofactorial It was the mothra glitter farts that made him impotent. Remember kids, mothra glitter farts are dangerous. Talk to your parents (if they survived the latest kaiju rampage) about getting your mothra glitter farts vaccine! #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

#monsterdon And everyone lived happily ever after and took good care of planet Earth.

Mothra would die on the way to her home planet... I think? I forget how that works out for her. But I do remember that this trip of hers into space ends up accidentally creating Space Godzilla.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

THANKS!
And so we fly gracefully into this good night.

#Monsterdon Party-goers
My enjoyment metrics for tonight
1 spit take
2 snort laughs
2 laughs until coughing

Thank you for a fun time!

@Taweret , Thank you for all you do! This continues to be a weekly highlight!

@cheribaker I was too slow again this week to win the big Bingo prize! 😢 I missed the Matching Hats in the first scene. That did me in. Thanks!

Impotently raging Godzilla is the most relatable Godzilla #monsterdon

#Monsterdon And remember, Mothra, stay AWAY from the big light in the center of the Solar System.

Wait. Battra's job is to stop extraterrestrial threats to Earth? Well then why were we treating him like a threat at all in this movie? Battra was the true hero of this film.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

@paco #monsterdon

Thank you @tawaret and #Monsterdon aficionados every one! Great way to spend a Sunday night in good company. Absolutely a cure for Sunday night blues. 😀

@bunnyhero @jonny Gotta end this thing somehow! #monsterdon

@yatsu It's a set because there is no way any human could choose between the zombie skeleton robot plushie and the interstellar moth mom plushie. #Monsterdon

I think The Dark Knight could learn a thing or two from Battra #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Lights out for Battra...
A fuck off into the sea drop worked for King Ghidorah, it will work here too.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

Then we need a giant scrub jay to eat Mothra. And then a giant cat to eat the scrub jay. Then, I dunno, a planet sized rabid fucking racoon. Where are we going to find a interplanetary coyote to eat the racoon? #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

all but two - 8 bingos? #monsterdon

@diazona My god, it all makes sense now! You’re right! #Monsterdon

Also uh...Mothra plushies? Those exist, right? 😁#Monsterdon

Still have sixteen minutes on this film over here, don't mind me if I toot about stuff you all have already experienced #monsterdon

... and also, as Mothra goes off to save the world, my normal Fediverse server comes back up as if by magic. No glitter, though.

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting! Good choice of film.

#Monsterdon

@aprilfollies to be fair, this moth has a head laser (and lasers *are* speculated to be one of the more effective defenses against future asteroid impacts)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Moths… in… spaaaaaace!

Godzilla. Are you a mustard vampire?
Wow how is Battra not dead right here? Godzilla has almost bitten and blasted his head off.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

uh, guys???

#monsterdon

That was fun, thanks friends 🪰#monsterdon #godzillavsmothra

@moira @jonny oh right, that random plot point introduced at the last minute #monsterdon

Well, that was just a fun time. Thanks for playing, #Monsterdon buddies. See ya next week!

these movies are always a good reminder of the importance of institutional memory, like how the military can never remember which of the gigantic monsters are good or bad or whether conventional weapons work against them or not #monsterdon

Final tally is six bingoes, not so bad. #monsterdon #monsterdonbingo @cheribaker

@jonny couldn't have said it better myself

#Monsterdon

I got everything but "vehicle chase" and "hospital scene" on my bingo card :D #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial Godzilla came up through the mantle of the earth, and out of Mt Fuji. Don't think he won't come after your tunnels. He will. Godzilla will spitefuck your tunnels. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

@Zerofactorial @plaidtron3000 reminds me of the end of The Incredibles (great movie which I'm kind of tempted to rewatch now)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Mothra suffered for your sins against Nature!”

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's kaiju extravaganza featured three giant monsters, and

* Cosmos, the smol Mothra faries
* Underwater Godzilla vs Battra battle
* Giant Mothra cocoon
* Mothra mind meld action
* Glitter, soooo much glitter

#GodzillaVsMothra

@amyfou Ferris wheelers bug off?! #WrongMovie (oh he's late!) sounds like I missed a good one. #monsterdon

the heisei era remains my favorite godzilla era overall

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Battra was going to stop the next meteorite, for Reasons. So now the giant moth will do it instead, because moths are famously effective against flying rocks.

I...I don't know what emotion the director is wanting me to feel right now with this music #monsterdon #godzillavsmothra

Yeah, I think this one cements it. Mothra's the best Kaiju. #Monsterdon

And so, Mothra and the Fae Sisters flew away to deal with Meteor, or Armageddon, or one of those other asteroid-hits-the-earth movies, fading away until only glitter remains.

#Monsterdon

Good job team! Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon

That movie did not disappoint! SO FLUFFY MOTH! Thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always! #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

i need a spin off where Mothra and Battra become besties and share their love of cozy cottage tea and absolute death metal. #monsterdon

"So we gotta take care of the world for ourselves. :)"

WELP, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Because sometimes you just really want to watch SOMETHING.

@plaidtron3000 Yeah, tunnels would just encourage the creation of monstrous mole creatures or something #monsterdon

@starkraving666 I wonder if it's Mothra levitating them

#Monsterdon

@jonny she's got her own island even! #monsterdon

@Taweret thank you for hosting, and thank you @cheribaker for the bingo card!

A wonderful return to classic form for #Monsterdon

@jonny It's going to intercept the meteor #monsterdon

That big cute floofy bug saved our planet y'all don't eff it up after all that hard work!

Thanks for hosting another delightful #Monsterdon @Taweret !

@Zerofactorial@noc.social Some kaiju burrow, though, so there's a more complex analysis for the extra cost of tunnels vs the more frequent replacement rate of bridges.
#Monsterdon #Battra

WHY did mothra go to SPACE i thought mothra was a spirit that protects EARTH #monsterdon

Godzilla is scared of heights. You should not be teasing him with a ferris wheel. The bugs are bullying a big fire snorting lizard.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

@Zerofactorial They'd still have to budget for fake bridges in order to give the monsters something to assuage their thirst for infrastructure. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

That's some good slow flying off into space though. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

@morganmay It's very effective

#Monsterdon

Space Mothra 1999! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Glowing Mothra is perfect.

I just love her. (What's a couple smashed buildings?) #Monsterdon

And Mothra fucks off into the ocean of the stars. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Battra pulled a Spider-man and saved Mothra from being swapped by a ferris wheel.
They've become "friends"
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

So was there a 1999 movie related to this? #monsterdon

We do not deserve her. 😭 #Monsterdon

Have you thanked Mothra today?

#Monsterdon

MOTHRA ALSO LIVES HERE. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

...No, kid, you explicitly will *not* see them later. #Monsterdon
