@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

Into the sea with you! #Monsterdon

"Goodbye my friends! We're off to sacrifice ourselves for humanity for no adequately explained reason! Whee!" #Monsterdon

So we shouldn't party like it's 1999? #Monsterdon

Sayonara, fairy twins. Thank you for the musical interludes!

#Monsterdon

You would think that after decades of this nonsense Japan would have just given up on bridges and switched everything over to tunnels #monsterdon

Wait, the fairies could always fly? They didn't need the box at all! :facepalm:

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

NOT because of budget considerations! We swear! #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

They've been able to fly this whole fucking time????#monsterdon #godzillavsmothra

Why are they making such a sacrifice for us? Mothra lives on Earth too? She has an interest in not having it destroyed? #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

@apLundell@octodon.social I think it symbolizes human interference with the environment. That interference can be constructive as well as destructive.

#Monsterdon #Battra

They can fly now!?

They’re actual fairies?

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

#Monsterdon “It seems they’re communicating!”

“Here, you get chewed up by the lizard while I hit him with the backstab.”

I LOVE MOTHRA LYING DOWN on the airforce tarmac like a wiw pupy #monsterdon

mothra is so fuzzy tho

#monsterdon

sleep powder! #monsterdon

"We were only able to gather 37 people to meet with Mothra, because Mothra killed everyone else in the city." #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

The deal is sealed with Mothra Pixie Dust! #Monsterdon

OK, I don't see anyone else saying it, so I'mma break the ice: I feel like there's a lotta #polyamory subtext going on here

#Monsterdon

And now we open a portal to the Glitter Dimension to seal Battra and Godzilla away for like a year or two.
#Monsterdon #Battra

BATTRA, Nooooooooo! #Monsterdon

So, if Mothra symbolizes The Environment, and Batura symbolizes man's destruction of the environment .... I'm not sure what this ending means. #monsterdon

Mothra like, "Oh yeah, bitches. Two with one stone. That's how we do things in Mothraville." #Monsterdon

Mothra's like "...okay, humans. Is this a big enough sign? Stay away from this spot, okay?"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

#Monsterdon Arial attack blasts ground forces! Ground forces toppled!

SHE'S SO FUZZY I'M GONNA DIE

#monsterdon

is mothra making them a halo? #monsterdon

Well... I guess it's a little less weird than Mechagodzilla carrying Godzilla off into the ocean. At least no one here's a reanimated corpse. #Monsterdon

Godzilla: "...gaaaaaahhhhh! I hate mustard!"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

"Don't wake him up, you idiot!" #monsterdon

They're just going to dump Godzilla back in the ocean? This is the kind of thinking that got Lake Erie set on fire!
#Monsterdon #Battra

NOW KISS!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

Well, you see, when a Mothra and a Battra really hate a lizard... #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Mothra's funky pipe cleaner legs #Monsterdon

Eww Battra blood #Monsterdon

"Alright pal, you've had enough. It's time to fuck off into the sea, let's go."

#Monsterdon

godzilla was too heavy for just one winged alien, they had to double team him. #monsterdon

@paco

You just described the plot. LOL!

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

Veins full o Nickelodeon slime #monsterdon #godzillavsmothra

@diazona @paco Yeah I have no idea who humanity is pulling for at this point. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

Thief dad, don’t show back up to remind us you haven’t been eaten yet. #Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

Monstrous Award

At the Tokyo Sports Film Awards, Godzilla and Mothra won Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively.

I think you can see the poignant moment just then that sold the judges.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Something Chekov’s Ferris wheel something.

Battra is full of mustard! GODZILLA HATES MUSTARD! #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

@moira #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Sometimes I kinda wish I pursued a career as a Lightning and Laserbeam Animator I bet it's very rewarding #Monsterdon

There's been maybe three Godzillas created, two (?) King Gidorahs, and just one Gamera, but I think that's a different Mothra emerging from a cocoon in every film so she must be the winner in appearances. I wonder whether they share memories somehow #monsterdon

@Louisa pro tip: do not use Mothra feet for soup

#Monsterdon

Battra is powered by mustard.

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

"OH NASTY YOUR BLOOD IS MADE OF MUSTARD" - Godzilla, probably

#monsterdon

A bug just squashed Godzilla with a building.
Godzilla has fallen! Now Battra is your king of the monsters!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

"There is some sort of communication going on!"

"What about?"

"Lunch on... Friday? Yes. Friday."

#monsterdon

With godzilla defeated, Mothra and Battra can settle their differences in peace. FIGHT! #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

No man -- or lizard -- could possibly withstand all that craft glitter. Poor bastard. #Monsterdon

mothra's dust is a sort of magnetic chaff that causes the lasers to have total internal reflection in the cloud of pain #monsterdon

Mothra's antennae are unbearably cute, they did a great job

#Monsterdon

@paco TBH I do not come to #Monsterdon expecting anything so coherent as a plot

OMG so much glitter. Who's gonna clean this up?! #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Chekov's giant ferris wheel.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

It must be hard to get insurance on distinctive landmarks in Japan.

"You want to build what? A giant Ferris wheel? No. No. Godzilla will definitely tear that down and use it like a weapon."
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I think she got the beam powers from Battra when they were communing after she gave him the Bliss Glitter? #Monsterdon

Also this scene with the mothra glitter and the lightning is super cool looking on every level.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Sparkle Power compels you, Godzilla!”
“I prefer FIREpower.”

AND the power of friendship! #Monsterdon

Fairly certain this is the best fight any flying insect has put up against Godzilla, certainly anything from any moth species #monsterdon

@jonny@neuromatch.social Wait, are we getting the Great Serpent in here? Three kaiju is already a lot to keep track of!
#Monsterdon #Battra #WheelOfTime

godzilla: raaar
mothra: sorry, did you say something?
#monsterdon

New car dealership just opened, look at the spotlights #Monsterdon

@Taweret I have mixed feelings on Heisei. I loved it in the 90s but it feels kinda immobile. I do love the cat ears and how expressive he is sometimes. #Monsterdon

Venomoth and Butterfree Vs Tyrantium #monsterdon

There goes the Worldcon hotel. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

steal the wheel of time, just sorta... set it on godzilla... super effective! he's done for! #monsterdon

Aww Mothra made a fren

#Monsterdon

The Cosmo Wheel is definitely the best steel chair, 10/10 wrestling move

#monsterdon

@strangefour @CactuarJoe but Battra saved Mothra? Because he liked Mothra's Bliss Glitter? #Monsterdon

AND IT'S BATTRA WITH THE STEEL CHAIR BAH GAWD #Monsterdon

#justicefortokyo #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

"OH NO!"
That was the most cartoonish line delivery in the dub. Fantastic work.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

Mothra turns ferris wheel into giant shuriken. Never mind the 112 human victims trapped on it. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

... so much for that theory LOL #monsterdon

Bitch slapped with a Ferris wheel is a new one for the genre. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

#Monsterdon Mothra to Battra: “Hey, you and I are both wing folks, wanna team up and zap the giant lizard together?”

Battra's stealing Tokyo's hubcaps! #Monsterdon
