o/~ fuck this shit I'm out o/~ -- gojira, probably

#monsterdon #gojira

Takashi Shimura's haunted stare is legitimately upsetting and so well-placed in this movie. Yamane is being forced to reconsider his worldview in the face of all this destruction and loss of life.

Gut-wrenching stuff

#Monsterdon

so what we've learned is, the army can hit the broadside of a barn, but the air force, not so much. #monsterdon

godzilla's spa day: ruined, abort :(

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

@diazona well, one has to make allowances for movies made after 1980 :) #monsterdon

holy fuckshit they showed the bodies falling from the tower
gojira goes HARD
#Monsterdon

okay swatting the missiles is just pretty funny #monsterdon

@paco Maybe Godzilla is just inspecting their work and is displeased

#Monsterdon

And they STILL can't aim for shit! #Monsterdon

godzilla doesn't like your shitty fake planes

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

How are these jets pilots missing!? He's roughly the size of.. well HIM. #Monsterdon #Gojira

GODZILLA ENJOYS YOUR BOTTLE ROCKETS. #monsterdon #gojira

My buddy Matt only has 2 of these left. I just got the 3rd to last. #Monsterdon

Oh good, fighter jets, maybe they'll make it ANGRIER. #Monsterdon

are there 3 airplanes or did they only have 3 models? #monsterdon

@georgieboy although from the description on Wikipedia it sounds like it would not be quite as compelling as found-footage Godzilla - I mean, there's a love story and a bunch of other nonsense to distract from the essence of "monster smash"

#Monsterdon

love these very real planes being shown very flying for real in at least 3 different angles

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

Toy planes! Toy Planes! Check! #Monsterdon #Gojira

Not just the tower falling but the people falling off the tower. Horrifying.
#Monsterdon # Gojira

Thinking about how by the 90s Toho wouldn’t let Godzilla directly kill anyone, which came up when making the US Godzilla movie. #monsterdon

Nobody tells Godzilla when it's time to go home! *SMASH*
#Monsterdon

fuck your bridge

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

RIP everyone on that tower.
#Godzilla #Gojira #Monsterdon

#monsterdon this image is making me lose it

That was quite a lot of carnage. #Monsterdon #Gojira

We ded. Ending Transmission. #Monsterdon

Oh, the glowy back fins! #monsterdon

the steel towers are sort of like bamboo for a godzilla, crunchy, tasty, not very nutritious but full of fiber #monsterdon

THE TOWER! #monsterdon

Wow the flash photography is going to super annoy anyone. The paps just won’t quit. #Monsterdon

Godzilla hates paparazzi #monsterdon

"we are actively going to die! wow!!!"

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

stupid press flashing the flashlights. get ’em all #Monsterdon

Going to join daddy? That's sweet to think you're all going to the same place.

#Monsterdon

godzilla does some remodeling downtown

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

Fuck your infrastructure. No bridge for you.
#Gojira #Monsterdon

Ok, all you tanks have your turns? Ben? Joe? Sue? Cool, cool.

My turn.

#Monsterdon

@yatsu @CactuarJoe oh gods

#monsterdon #gojira

@socketwench yaa that was a big oof for a small bit.. #monsterdon

I mean the reporters during the Godzilla attack, different but also very similar feel and understanding
#monsterdon

@diazona Cloverfield would like a word #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe is this why kids always have some kind of Sense about him later on? the ghosts of murdered children helping them out? #monsterdon

how... how do we know how old it is :blobfoxconfused:

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

@chirpbirb god damnit, it's not even light out yet #monsterdon

I love how they reproduced this scene of the newsman breathlessly reporting live as he watches godzilla stomp right in front of him

#Monsterdon

...Man, I haven't seen a Godzilla movie that hates kids this much in a *while.* #Monsterdon

"Initiate Security Command Code 729!"

more like Plan 9, amirite?

#monsterdon

japanese reporters: Oh the humanity! #monsterdon

that’s how you treat an alarm clock #Monsterdon

let's be real, none of us like alarm clocks. godzilla is valid

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

I feel the same way about my alarm in the morning #monsterdon #gojira

Again, Tokyo learned about fighting firestorms because of LeMay.

Yes, I'm going to keep calling out LeMay.

We was a genocidal fool and nearly started a nuclear war a few years after this movie was made.

#Monsterdon

Those flames shooting up in an inhabited area are genuinely horrifying #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Okay, guys, one more interactive post here. Choose your favorite: #Gojira (#Godzilla) VS. ....

I really feel like while Godzilla Minus One the film makers made a different movie they understood this movie. They didn't remake it but it feels like one that is very close spiritually
#monsterdon

Oh nice, the shots of an empty Tokyo are good and freaky. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon also just damn, that poor guy in the suit

@SnoopJ If there is a nuke to stop all nukes...humanity would deploy that nuke. Big rubber suit monster smash miniatures!!! (sorry, I'm getting too cynical) #monsterdon

when we talk about masculinity and emotional wellbeing we never talk about the lizard intersection and i think thats terrible #Monsterdon

that's IT! that's the secret. dinosaur+radiation=dragon.

#Monsterdon
#Godzilla
#Gojira

godzilla, seeing they didn't free the birds: >:V

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

eeeesh, that is rough. #monsterdon

for a _moment_ I thought they trapped Godzilla in a GIANT BIRDCAGE #monsterdon

Godzilla looks at the birds trapped in the Aviary, and looks appalled. Liberates birds. #monsterdon #gojira

#Monsterdon omg
Like for every cheesy close up of Godzilla’s face, there’s some absolutely gorgeous smoky silhouette

"Initiate Security Co- Whoops, forget that, SCRAM!" #Monsterdon

Destroyed a whole division, time to concentrate on firefighting and rescue is the first sensible thing a human has said all movie #monsterdon

But first Security Code #110
GTFO

#monsterdon

the flames over the city, holy shit

#Monsterdon

Code 129? Oh fuuuuuudge. #Monsterdon

calling radar secret service, calling radar secret service

#monsterdon #gojira

@steggy @SarraceniaWilds that's kind of like that joke about where does a 300 pound gorilla sleep? anywhere they like #monsterdon

The entire 49th Armored Division destroyed? That sounds time consuming even for Godzilla! #monsterdon #gojira

Wow, tanks that can actually shoot at Godzilla and *not* miss. This is why you send your best soldiers back to the classroom to teach others, later tank commanders lost that skill. #Monsterdon

@georgieboy @SarraceniaWilds not stopping to ask for directions either #Monsterdon

@SnoopJ I think there's also a pandora's box element of Godzilla. Once were talking about more and more powerful nukes, he symbolizes that there IS no end to nuclear war. Humanities impotence to stop him is a symbol of not being able to stop the horrors of nuclear annihilation if unleashed #Monsterdon

Toy tanks! Toy Tanks! Check! #Monsterdon #Gojira

Heh, y'know, the model work was really great right up to the Ken dolls on the fire trucks ^^;; #Monsterdon

Stop-motion fire engine rollover? Nice. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe kinda the opposite...

#Monsterdon

There is such good use of light here #Monsterdon

The little crashing fire trucks are pretty great. #monsterdon

#monsterdon "I wasn't very tactful" Kind of the understatement of the decade there. Also was thinking that's some "Night of the hunter" outdoor set vibes there right before the electricution scene but that movie came out the following year if the internet is to be believed

Gojira's back lights up just like a Cylon doing the nasty? #Monsterdon

Oof, straight up roasting folk in the streets, that's cold. #Monsterdon

This is Radio BBC xylophone. Time to die. Good evening.
#Monsterdon

time for more great miniatures #monsterdon

Godzilla's morning breath is the worst!

#Monsterdon #Gojira

Halitosis of Death. #Monsterdon

@Kinetograph I basically have to post this every week now lol

#Monsterdon

Atomic Breath gives me my #MonsterdonBingo but I think we're going for a blackout here.

#Monsterdon

@Kinetograph baby tank doo doo do-doo do-doo

#Monsterdon

FX somehow more realistic in this b/w progenitor #monsterdon

@chirpbirb bath bombs out of control #Monsterdon

... and the 'fence' - and machine guns, and artillery fire prove utterly ineffective. Except Godzilla now demonstrates steel-melting incendiary fire-breath? Yikes. #monsterdon

godzilla, just trying to light some incense for his spa day smh

#monsterdon #godzilla #gojira

I love when Godzilla says "It's Godzilling time!"
#monsterdon

wow how cold does steel need to be to melt #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Gojira

🦖Send the fire trucks to save the white shirt factory!!
