now that you've all had a chance to read this, let's argue

#monsterdon

OH SURPRISE! LOVE STORY! #monsterdon

"But at what cost!?" 500 yen. #Monsterdon #Gojira

Dr. Kyohei Yamane is totally in love with the incarnate horror that is Godzilla-chan #monsterdon

@amyfou They didn't know they needed MASERS! #monsterdon

Interrupt shipping? Shit just got real. #Monsterdon

I just want to point out there were a couple of femmes dancing on that boat. #Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow The cruise is such a great deal. They even get a free meet and greet with Godzilla. #Monsterdon

look you can threaten a LOT but you DO NOT fuck with international shipping #monsterdon

"but i just wanted a beeeeerrrrr" -- Godzilla, probably.

#Monsterdon
#Godzilla
#Gojira

Lousy night for a booze cruise

#monsterdon #gojira #godzilla

Let's trample each other, because being INSIDE on the boat will be so much better! #Monsterdon

everyone: AAA IT'S GODZILLA
godzilla: :drgn_pleading: hi

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

and the band played on...
whoops, no there we go

#monsterdon

Worst party-crasher!!

#Monsterdon
#Godzilla
#Gojira

HERE COMES THE BOOOOYYYY

HELLOOOO BOYYYY

WELCOMEEEE

HE IS HERE

#monsterdon #gojira

Our first "It's Godzilla!!" #Monsterdon #Gojira

#Monsterdon Ah. Some "Our navy really did a great job 10-15 years ago." That's nice.

Dr. Kyohei Yamane was the original Dr John Hammond. If only there was a mosquito involved, we could have a zoo of Godzillas! #Monsterdon

Wow this feels like a replay of another Gojira film

#monsterdon

Whoops, bye bye to ship number... What, five? Six? #Monsterdon

no we HAVE to tilt the camera otherwise how will people know it's on a boat?? #monsterdon

is... is that luau music in Tokyo? #monsterdon

@Taweret Listen, I had a groupon and if you don't use it you lose it!
#monsterdon

it's like, i want them to have a glass of water and Jeff Goldblum there to tell them to go faster. A+ #monsterdon

people having a good time and dancing in a monster movie, WATCH OUT #Monsterdon

Surely nothing could ruin this fun night on party boat. #Monsterdon #Gojira

Star Trek could take a lesson from this scene on the boat, and put the sets on rockers so you could actually shake it. #monsterdon #gojira

spongebob-ass music on the party boat

#Monsterdon

i'm sure nothing can go wrong with this pleasant pleasure boat cruise

#monsterdon #gojira

I want that dinosaur skelton model for my desk TBH
#monsterdon

STEGOSAURUS SPOTTED!!!
#Godzilla #gojira #Monsterdon #SurpriseActualDinosaur

OH! Oh this is the dude the fairies visited later in that Mothra movie -- I recognize the styrofoam Stegosaur :D #Monsterdon

Monster of the century? I thought that was Curtis LeMay? #Monsterdon

japanese dads brooding in dark rooms since 5eva

#monsterdon #gojira

@steggy If they're still alive then maybe the movie was correct! #monsterdon

you know it's bad when the older dude is theorycrafting late into the night

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

CHEEZU #SignMeUp #monsterdon

He wants to jerk off

#monsterdon

"Godzilla, monster of the century..."

Monster of the century, /so far/, you mean

#monsterdon

Just a man sitting alone in the dark with his bones.

#Monsterdon #Gojira

Such jaunty music! Such hubris! Godzilla laughs!

#Monsterdon

I’m sure this tiny ship won’t come to any harm. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon More trivia: There is a short film titled "Bambi Meets Godzilla" from 1969. I will leave you to ponder what happens.

I still don't really understand the whole subplot of them like, adopting this random kid from the village earlier in the movie

it never really goes anywhere other than now that kid is around

#monsterdon

that's some cheerful bombing-music...
#Monsterdon
#Godzilla
#Gojira

"Turn off the light. I can't mope if it's not dark." #monsterdon #gojira

Huh, I wonder why it's a woman who believes the the public needs to be told about #Gojira when all the government dudes want to keep it secret 🤔

#monsterdon

My subtitles seem to have gotten in sync which is nice rather then 30 seconds ahead
#monsterdon

@georgieboy I mean, that checks out with the older crazy-ass geologists I know. Fun times #Monsterdon

feeling weirdly patriotic for the japanese navy rn

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

@georgieboy FWIW I think it sounded about right to me, or at least pretty plausible

#Monsterdon

♫ Jaunty theme of Military! ♫ #Monsterdon

Those are some sick depth charges >:) #monsterdon

you figure that they would've had worked on that disaster response centre after those Big Bombs instead of waiting for a Big Lizard attack but better late than never #Monsterdon

Order, please!

I'll have the atomic tuna on rye, please!

#Monsterdon

Everywhere is a media circus. #Monsterdon

surprised to hear the first solution to blow it up with depth charges, figured that was more American #monsterdon

Atomic Tuna was the title character in my failed graphic novel. #Monsterdon

"I barely escaped the bombing of Nagasaki and now this." Damn. #Monsterdon

wartime footage japanese imperial navy y/n?

#monsterdon #gojira

Wait wait. You're in a standoff with Godzilla and YOU'RE GONNA SHOOT FIRST??

...Nice knowin' you, champ. :/ #Monsterdon

i love that Minus One also includes a coverup so that despite it being set only a few years before this one, it's still plausibly new information #Monsterdon

If all the H-bombs did was irradiate Godzilla, why do you think depth charges would do anything other than annoy him? #monsterdon #gojira

getting this audio cued up for Gojira's next appearance https://youtu.be/KTlCIwsBQow
#monsterdon #gojira

If only they had Masers... they could waste their time trying that
#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Reptiles are a kind of snake, we have established this. #monsterdon

wait I'm interested in this...Atomic Tuna? #monsterdon

The gods benighted Americans irradiated our sacred monster with their bomb! #Monsterdon

"Anti-Godzilla Frigate Fleet"

Oh those boys are dead

#monsterdon

Aw man, of all the reasons to keep a giant 50m-tall lizard secret, you're going with *diplomacy*? I am disappoint

Godzilla would be disappoint

#Monsterdon

Already attempting a cover-up over the existence of Godzilla? That was quick - and ineffective. #monsterdon

Godzilla in Tokyo Bay? Don't be silly. #Monsterdon #Gojira

@Newpa_Hasai at least their science wasn't 100% out the window then :D #monsterdon

Gotta say, the scientific exposition in this has way more verisimilitude than the average kaiju flick

#monsterdon

good to know that even radioactive folk gods won't stop politics. #monsterdon

I have a feeling no one is going to listen to the smart lady #Monsterdon

Godzilla's introduction is weird and quick and horrifying. But in broad daylight. The true horror of his monsterous scale is better told in the beach matte painting than him popping over a hill.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

You can tell this isn’t an American movie from this time because there’s a government outside of the military. #monsterdon

...Some of this scientific information is just *straight up wrong.* Like I'm not 100% sure but I think trilobites are Arthropods? And if Brontosaurs were alive 2 million years ago shit would've been WEIRD.

1950s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Monsterdon

"anyways, thanks for coming to my godzilla ted talk."

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

strontium-90 seems like the most plausible thing so far (I know nothing at all about isotopes) #monsterdon

"But don't swallow any, because damn, that stuff hates human bones."

#monsterdon #gojira

so like. are trilobites marine footlice? #Monsterdon

🚨 Watch those Bingo cards if you are playing. 🦖

#Monsterdon #Gojira

because the whole damn thing's so radioactive that we should really evacuate the whole village, that's how. stop questioning a guy who clearly knows more than you do, sir. #monsterdon

don't you know about the three lobes? #monsterdon

those dinos look chonky...
#monsterdon
#godzilla
#gojira

Here comes the boy~
RUN FOR YOU LIVES!
#Gojira #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Gojira

Good job getting the picture! #Monsterdon

Trilobites! #Monsterdon

Okay. Someone could have been given a little more time on that "looking over the hill" slide painting. #Monsterdon #Gojira

So..habitat destruction has unintended consequences?? #Monsterdon

"why would this creature show up on our shores?"

because... it... can?

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

@plaidtron3000 they knew such formations existed already even if they didn't know why

#monsterdon #gojira

...I was waiting for him to follow Odo Island tradition and prepare a sacrifice #monsterdon

So, have we thought about human sacrifice again? I mean, if it worked...
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Classic swords.
