now that you've all had a chance to read this, let's argue
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.
Lousy night for a booze cruise
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
and the band played on...
whoops, no there we go
Worst party-crasher!!
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
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
i'm sure nothing can go wrong with this pleasant pleasure boat cruise
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
@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
CHEEZU #SignMeUp #monsterdon
He wants to jerk off
Just a man sitting alone in the dark with his bones.
Such jaunty music! Such hubris! Godzilla laughs!
Iβm sure this tiny ship wonβt 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
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 π€
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
@georgieboy FWIW I think it sounded about right to me, or at least pretty plausible
β« Jaunty theme of Military! β« #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
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?
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
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
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
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 isnβt an American movie from this time because thereβs 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 Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
"anyways, thanks for coming to my godzilla ted talk."
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."
so like. are trilobites marine footlice? #Monsterdon
π¨ Watch those Bingo cards if you are playing. π¦
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
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
@plaidtron3000 they knew such formations existed already even if they didn't know why
...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.
