Sorry, got distracted looking up silk process
#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, in Rodan's movie thirty years ago... #Monsterdon

thousands of people are lying under piles of rubble right now but yeah, you're suffering more than anyone else

#monsterdon

Boy that businessman sure was a naive fool for thinking that a pair of 1/6th scale twins found on an abandoned island are magical.

#monsterdon

Mothra is going on a Diet. HAH!
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

hokusai's lost view of mt fuji #Monsterdon

"...are you okay?"
"Oh sure, just taking a nap by this big fire"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

#Monsterdon “No, not the Capitol building!” I wonder if we could get a Kaiju to come up the Chesapeake. They did just have a typhoon…

#Monsterdon Squint-Eye

At 1h 10m, look for Godzilla's length, height and weight on the computer display.

It will show "Height: 328.084 ft (100 m)."

BUT, previous movies had Godzilla being described as 150 m tall (984.252 ft).

@Louisa The subtitles say Cosmos

#Monsterdon

*pokemon evolution music intensifies* #monsterdon

@DinosaurRobo Look, a reptile is a kind of snake, it's all perfectly scientific. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

@diazona you'd figure Japanese building codes would mandate some sort of Kaiju accessibility measures by now #Monsterdon

"Cosmos in a Baskit" from the people who brought you "Chikn' in a Biscuit" #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Uhh...

#nsfw

#Monsterdon

In Japanese does “Battra” sound like something other than “bat”? Because a moth is not a bat. #Monsterdon
#GodzillaVsMothra

#Monsterdon “Don’t kill any more people, Mothra! But buildings are okay to wreck.”

@RobynGoodfellow it really works well though

#Monsterdon

@Taweret Came here to say this, and I'm so upset that you beat me to it. I am incandescent with rage. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

if mothra was a little dog then nobody would be upset about the havoc. just not fair #Monsterdon

"It's larval stage?!?"

Yeah, lady. You understand we're talking about a moth, right? Did you think this grub was a moth?

#monsterdon

This is what caterpillars do to make cocoons, right, just spray silk everywhere?

#Monsterdon

The haunting Silly String Aria #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

"In half an hour, I want this entire area evacuated!"
"Sir, this is downtown Nagoya. There are half a million people here."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Get used to disappointment."
#Monsterdon #Battra

Why are Our Heroes surprised that this worm creature named MOTHra who was in a cave with paintings of a MOTH might actually just be a larva? #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

The obligatory destruction of the National Diet building #Monsterdon

Air Quality Alert #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Well, you see, when a giant caterpillar and a capitol building love each other very much….

WHY IS THERE ROMANTIC MUSIC AND "WEB" SPRAYING ON THE BUILDING? #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

UHHHHHHHH #monsterdon #godzillavsmothra

this kid seems overly fascinated by the idea of Mothra's death. #monsterdon

@msh lol to be fair Mothra does need a way out of the city

#Monsterdon

"...larval stage?"
"Yeah, shit's about to get real"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

Is Mothra sucking the juices out of the Diet Building? Kinda low cal, tho, right? It's a DIET building. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

#Monsterdon So if Daddy stops being a thief, will humans stop destroying nature? I’m a bit confused at the causality here.

Heh, is this gonna be another instance of a scientist declaring martial law? :P #Monsterdon

Monsters always know to go for national landmarks. #monsterdon

Why are the fairies being stored in a jukebox? #monsterdon

#monsterdon The national diet building? It _did_ just lose some weight I guess...

meanwhile, in a different movie... #VolcanoPlot #monsterdon

seems like we should have been evacuating people already but okay

#monsterdon

She has a professional job and he’s him, wouldn’t she be paying alimony? He’d owe child support, sure. #Monsterdon
#GodzillaVsMothra

These subs are translating Midori's "Mothra-san" as "Mr. Mothra"

This isn't one of those movies though, right?

#Monsterdon

YES! YES! Bye Bye Diet building! This one just hits all the sweet spots. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

that's right, Mothra, into the government buildings. (^_^)-b
#monsterdon

HE SAID IT, HE SAID THE LINE ABOUT THE DIET BUILDING 🚨🚨🚨

#Monsterdon

I think I caught an "aregato, Mothra-san"

Gotta love the respect

#Monsterdon

Don't kill any more people m/kay Mothra?

eeeep eep~ (ok!)

--crawls over several more buildings....

#Monsterdon

Thank you Mothra!
(thousand lay died and injured)
#Monsterdon

@sean #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

#Monsterdon “Mothra is approaching! You must evacuate the hotel!” And go…. where exactly? Walk to the mainland?

"Psychics" hate news radio. Facts are just bad vibes.
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

This dad when that kid becomes a teenager. #Monsterdon

Oh wow the CGI for carrying the fairies in her hands is SO BAD #monsterdon

@trixter This, this right here. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

Another bite (of the building) for the road, why not? #monsterdon

and so mothra killed another six thousand people on her way back to the sea

#monsterdon

'i'll make daddy get a real job' this kid is now the hero of the movie #monsterdon

Kid is clearly too young to know that ACAB and that snitches get stitches. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

"Mothuraaaaaaa Chill the F**K out Mothraaaaa" #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

@Taweret@octodon.social Those city blocks were necessary sacrifices for dramatic timing and character development.
#Monsterdon #Battra

"We understand. Our father is also a deadbeat." #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

They named their child after melon liqueur? #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

@Taweret are they in Tokyo though? I need to know if this is a "tokyo landmark being destroyed" for... reasons #monsterdon

@blogdiva "Tokyo Jones" weirdly has a nice ring to it

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon “Destroy the city! I’ll build it again!” Yup, that’s capitalism. (Disaster capitalism, to be pedantic.)

General Tandoori? #monsterdon

Greedy gaijin industrialist!
"One... million dollars."
"Lol nope."
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra

*cruch crunch* yummy plaster! #monsterdon

Are Mothra's eyes just a couple of T5 LEDs? Trying to get a sense of scale for the model. #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

"...I believe we can work something out"
"you mean .... <winks>"
"Ummm, no."
"Damn."

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

mothra leveled 12 city blocks while we were talking to the kid

#monsterdon

Honestly surprised we didn't have the plucky child involved earlier. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

"I don't want to be a thief's daughter!" Occasionally honour culture has its advantages #monsterdon

"...are these for me?"
"Yes, but don't feed them after midnight, and keep them away from water"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

"Leave through the nearest exit immediately! Here on 98.9 FM The Wave!" #Monsterdon

great, now we've got Plucky Kid involved. the movie can proceed. #monsterdon

@amyfou I'm pretty sure "driving" their "big truck" into a "cave" is exactly what they're thinking about. #monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

I have to say the military guys have a point so far... Mothra giving off some "they will greet us as liberators" vibes while destroying everything in its path #monsterdon

It just occurred to me. Is Battra sort of a Death's Head Mothra? #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

So this one guy is just going to rebuild Tokyo... Yeeeeah

#Monsterdon

Now slap him! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Has anyone considered the hypothesis that Kaiju attacks are deliberately provoked by the military-industrial complex to use up so many conventional munitions that Japan will have to buy a whole new supply?

I take back my earlier aspersions. Mothra on wheels is pretty lacking in personality.
#Monsterdon #Battra

are those green LEDs in the centre of her eyes? #monsterdon

@trixter
I did try to glue it back in. But like I'm not good with super glue. It's kinda heavy plastic. The wing is heavier than the body. #Monsterdon

Oo, she took that bridge at eye-level. Careful, girl. Your fontanelle still hasn't closed. #Monsterdon

it's the sideway mouth, it just-- #monsterdon

@Zerofactorial heh yeah that's more accurate

#Monsterdon

Mothra, our protector, who also destroys building indiscriminately

#Monsterdon

"..so, that's Mothra"
"yeeeup"

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

@diazona Maybe if you had a thousand of them #monsterdon

"That's ridiculous you fool! Never admit liability!" #monsterdon

A bridge is destroyed! DRINK! #Monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 she is sort of dressed like a human sized fairy, or at least the presence of two adult human women is rare enough in these movies that it seems like that's what they're doing #monsterdon

I kind of wonder if Mothra is even really aware she's being shot at

#Monsterdon

jesus mothra is killing so many people smashing her way through town

#monsterdon

So, sister is inexplicably psychic? Or did I miss an actual explanation? #Monsterdon #GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth

"...fight the Great War"
"sorry, that one already happened."

#Monsterdon #GodzillaVsMothra

Did they fuck? Did the divorced couple get back together before we are even halfway into this movie?
#Monsterdon #Godzilla #Battra
