what did we just watch exactly?
#Monsterdon

the Fafonian ship has been felled!

#Monsterdon

@gnomon I was thinking seagulls

#monsterdon

Had a power outage so I'm now way behind but I needed to say this even if it was late:

BY TALOS THIS CANT BE HAPPENING #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Phineas and Ferb. That’s Jason. Jason is Ferb.

everything looks so good until you get to the water

never have miniatures interacting with water

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Payback for taking old men trinkets and one water jug. Now you die by stop motion.
#Monsterdon

"Be prepared to give.me an easy stroke!"

That's what *HE* said! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh no! It's the Ever Given!

Aaaaand squish. #Monsterdon

"The rock walls were constructed on rubber tires, inflated tubes underneath each one, so they could rock them. And then of course the miniature itself was about 8 feet high... we would build the rock facing separately, and rods underneath that we would pull out to release the rocks when we needed them.

-Ray

#monsterdon

ah nothing more attractive than an oiled-up elderly man

in his underwear no less

#Monsterdon

stroke stroke stroke yer boat
this is not an analogy

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

@wesbat probably the same place the argonauts got their shiny leather armor? #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie that kangaroo they have on board as well.... #Monsterdon

I feel like canonically Jason & the Argonauts is just one long frat weekend

The myth firstly, but also the movie

#Monsterdon

Probably a good thing he can't see how rickety that cage is

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
They left him a giant bag of harpy chow.

#monsterdon "what Gods protect you?"

None, now that Jason wasted all his wishes asking stupid questions.

and so phineas kept the harpies as screeching pets

#monsterdon

christ these harpies, they're worse than guinea pigs

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

@srol I don't mind it actually, it's kind of fun. Monsters abound in these Greek gods films.

#Monsterdon

woah woah woah, where'd they get the uniforms from?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Gravity does what heroes can't. #Monsterdon

I understand why this movie was groundbreaking, and it's definitely better than the Hercules ones we just watched. But I think after three weeks I'm tired of ancient Greece by-way-of Hollywood.

#monsterdon

Music director: "Now just run up and down the xylophone with this chopstick for 10 minutes!"

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

"Tonight we dine on HARPY!"

#Monsterdon

Score notes for percussion here just read "go nuts on xylophone"

#Monsterdon

Harpy cage fight!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

God damn these argonauts were well prepared for contingencies.

#Monsterdon

Solid gold commentary from the #monsterdon crew.

The ruins are all certainly very worn down for this point in time. #Monsterdon

how nice of Jason and his pals to prepare these ancient ruins for restoration. gotta protect people inside with a big net.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Harpies are supposed to be half bird, not terrifying bat thing. #monsterdon

Harpies in fishnets. If I had a dollar for every time. #Monsterdon

in real life you really do trap bats with mist nets

#Monsterdon

I would simply take my lunch indoors

#monsterdon

HARPIES! One of them is named "Melania" #monsterdon

Tell me more about becoming a master of harpies. That sounds boss. #Monsterdon

Gods were more responsive back then.

#Monsterdon

Oh I guess that explains why he doesn't know what his tormentors look like. The whole being blinded by Zeus thing. #Monsterdon

Oh hey nice wardrobe change Jason

#Monsterdon

Worst. Blind man impression. Ever.

#Monsterdon

My mom: "Those ruins weren't a wreck when the ancient greeks were alive, were they? Why are they like that?"

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Ok, where'd the armor come from? And why didn't they wear them on the last island?

#monsterdon

They hadn't invented audio description tracks yet: YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY BLUE BATWINGED THINGAMAJIGS. #monsterdon

“I don’t sin every day” is perhaps the greatest defense I’ve ever heard.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
But I didn't sin every day..
Yeah?

Ah yes, the very Greek notions of sin and demons.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

It’s the SASH! Flying monkeys hate sashes!

#Monsterdon

@strangefour

Just a reminder to all that Lou Ferrigno didn't even know he was making a second Hercules movie, Cannon tricked him into thinking he was just doing reshoots for Seven Magnificent Gladiators

#Monsterdon

Why are the harpies fucking with Phineas? What did he do to his mother?

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

C'mon guys keep it straight: on *this* island you can take food, on *that* island you can take jewelry

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

No more phone-a-friends, Jason, now you can only ask the audience. #monsterdon

whelp we all knew it

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

oh yeah the harpies! so cool

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Q the winged serpent" totally quoted this scene with Hilas for "The demise of Mime Cop"

"Hercules has other movies to make. He stays here halfway into a movie that feels like it just started. Also you have used your last Benny. The GM can no longer help you solve the simple dungeon puzzle anymore."
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

Only the blinded man can help guide you now...

Good thing we figured a few things out since ancient Greece

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon getting 5 boons and blowing them all at the very first port, great job Jason

He's using all his wishes, sigh. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

Hercules can just tie a rock to a chariot and throw the rock into space and ride the chariot to the moon so he'll be fine

the other movie taught us that

#monsterdon

hylas is now lowlas

#monsterdon

Mutiny on the ... what is the name of this ship again?

#Monsterdon

I don’t know if I’d call him the *BEST* man!

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

Awww....look a the little men throwing toothpicks at the giant collosus. Wow. It's a steampunk doo hickey statue. #monsterdon

Mutiny!!!
#monsterdon

"will you abandon Hercules"

yes, the answer should be yes.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Because the robot smashed our boat, we have to go onshore to fight it. Hera, in her floating figurehead form, told Jason that he needs to attack the robot's ankle, so Jason is holding a spear trying to figure out how to do that.

Meanwhile the other heroes are um... throwing rocks at the giant robot.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon First the magic smoke came out, then the holy kool-aid!

It was hard to rebuild the ship's wooden frame but I don't want to be an adze about it #monsterdon

A basket of wax fruit… for ambiance.

#Monsterdon

Noooo my frisbee team

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Dammit they fixed the Hera head.
Not burned it alive as they should have.
#monsterdon sterdon

Good 'ol Greek craftsmanship to the rescue

#Monsterdon

Oh so Theseus's ship was named the Argo. I get it now.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

Oh no the argonaut who had the cool plan was crushed. Well, that should teach the rest of you to keep your mouths shut. #Monsterdon

Never go back for the Hat Pin Of The Gods.

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

*conk*

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

ah, RIP brains. we're gonna have to rely only on brawn from here on in

#Monsterdon

@nev Ray said he thought the empty eyes were the thing that made Talos look the most creepy!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Worst beach party ever!

Jello steam powered! #Monsterdon

Oh, nice, he IS full of goo! #Monsterdon

Wait is this technically steampunk

#Monsterdon

Oh, Talos has an exaust port on his ankles!
#monsterdon

lefty loosey
#monsterdon

Talos has an Achilles heel

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

Oh hey, the off switch.

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

So Jason named the boat after the boat wright & the crew are named after the boat so is this all about setting Argo up as a patsy for the several lawsuits this quest will result in? #Monsterdon

This version of Shadow of the Colossus is actually pretty good!

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

I tell you again, do not look directly at Talos' taint! DO NOT

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Hercules you caused this mess you fix it. Throw it into space #Monsterdon

Don't touch the treasure you idiot. Go back and get the goat!

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Run away! Run away!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon finally though, a fuckable Hercules

#monsterdon If the Goddess had told me not to waste one of my wishes, I would not have wasted it.

Those dudes are catching some gnarly waves. Surfin' Jason style.

#monsterdon

why does zeus need a robot army?

#monsterdon

Anyway we sail to the bronze island. two argonauts... Hercules and... somebody else... go chase after a goat to eat and find some giant bronze god statues then they find a treasure room from which they take some spears. But taking spears makes the giant statues mad so one starts moving and glaring at them, then enters pursuit.
