Convenient story-needed NPC ship ahoy!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

There she is, she doesn't seem to be in any great difficulty.

Yet.

#monsterdon

there has been way too many shots of this old sweaty guy in this movie
#monsterdon

#monsterdon This is why it's important to have ranged as well as melee party members.

Easy or WHAT?

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"ACASTUS!"

"Oh what have I done now?!"

#Monsterdon

Who put the oily bear in charge?

#Monsterdon

This feels more aimed at adults but more likely to appeal to pre-teen children. #monsterdon

"I know the sea god's moods. But… most of them are dangerous."

Okay that's tight, love that line

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Nice window rock scenery.

I'm gonna guess what made Phineas so frightened was the clashing rocks that were explicitly named Clashing Rocks

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

I dunno, row casual! #Monsterdon

It's quiet. Too q- HEY WE MAKE THE JOKES HERE OLD MAN #Monsterdon

brb, gotta shove this giant boulder... just a little further... perfect. one boulder disposed of, no one hurt.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Lovely crusty scenery

#Monsterdon

THIS IS LONDON CALLING! #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon i zoned out again 😅

EEEEEEEEASY-OOOOOOOOOOOOOR is Eeyore's cousin who saw a bloody therapist

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

"Beware of the Clashing Rocks!"
"How will we recognize them?"
"They'll be wearing checkered shirts, striped pants and orange and pink accessories."

#monsterdon

Why are the rocks "clashing"? Do the colors not match?

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

@jonny@neuromatch.social To reduce the amount of laundry they have to do, probably

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Row easy. The opposite of RowHammer. #Monsterdon

Damnit. Ivanka and Melania are back stealing the blind homeless man's food again. YAY! The gay men save the day! #monsterdon

ROCK the Casbah! #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

“There’s not much water here…even though it’s the ocean.”

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie the god of potassium, probably

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Ah, boat scenes before the invention of the steadicam 🤢 #Monsterdon

The Argo is just sailing back and forth in the same small (actual) area, isn't it.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Yeah you want separate cages for your harpies otherwise they just end up eating each other. How do they not know that? #Monsterdon

"Bon appetit!"
"Why are you using a weird dialect of those barbarians from the big peninsula west of civilization?"

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

wait
so
uh, they just leaving him there?

wasn't he supposed to guide them or something?
🥴
#monsterdon

That was 100% someone's rule 34 awakening, harpies in a cage at the mercy of their former tormentee. #Monsterdon

@neia damn. They are nonverbal. Just screeching monsters. Harpies failed the test. :(
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

I hope those harpies get free and come after them.

#Monsterdon

Sure take the blind man's only possession. Why not?
#Monsterdon

There’s not much water ANYWHERE because you brought, may I remind you, ONE JUG!! #Monsterdon

MASTER OF HARPIES IS PULLING YOUR WIIIIINGS!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon I'll bet before the advent of corrective lenses there were a lot of old men who were "struck blind".

"It's not much reward for what you've done"

"It's a neck Buddha! Thanks!"

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

So, who cooked the bird? #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

Oh the color choices on those rocks are AWFUL

#Monsterdon

*perky music* : “teehee slavery of mythical creatures is fun!!” #Monsterdon

"What are the clashing rocks"

They're Rocks. That Clash. Clashing Rocks, hence the name. #Monsterdon

The xylophone player in this orchestra was probably very underappreciated like the Bung Bong Drum Guy got all the attention #Monsterdon

The next scene is a ton of fruit they are laying out on the table. Did the harpies provide all that?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

They have a LOT of net, huh?

did greeks have bananas? 🤔
#monsterdon

This is a proper use of nets! The harpies get their wings tangled in the net when it falls on them, and the Argonauts have to rush in before they untangle themselves.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Find some wood to build a cage!

Maybe you should have thought of the cage _before_ you caught the harpies.

#monsterdon

Jason capturing the harpies before preparing wood with which to cage them

getting the sense Jason isn't a "planning" guy

#Monsterdon

"Find some wood to build a cage"
"Oh sure, I'll just run over to Domus Depot and get right on that."

#monsterdon

“They speak for themselves, don’t they??” and you speak for the audience #Monsterdon

OK I definitely saw one of those leaves twitching

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@diazona

The studio demanded the 15-minute net-weaving montage be cut

#Monsterdon

So now we band and release them right?

#Monsterdon

Poor harpies. Had to settle for a percentage of the net. #Monsterdon

Well that's a net loss for HARPYS today. Down nearly 100%

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

lol no one is grunting with exertion or making any noises

this is so awkward
#monsterdon

@wesbat I guess…they stored it in the hold on their boat?

#Monsterdon

How convenient that they had a temple-sized net sitting around

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Armor, now a giant net, that boat had hidden depths.

#monsterdon

And elsewhere in the battle, a man takes a nap. #Monsterdon

Now a cat is playing a xylophone in the background of the scene. For no reason
#Monsterdon

two harpy enter, no harpy leave.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

There's one whole side that's open, not covered by the net.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Lord, don't let the harpies unwind me!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Nice sphinx statue as Jason landed, btw.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Gonna build a giant bird cage for the harpies? Why the xylophone in the music?
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

Interesting that Harpy catching is very similar to modern drone warfare defense.

#monsterdon

Jason’s net budget is HUGE!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Where the heck did that amount of netting come from?
#monsterdon

@Taweret it's worse than gulls! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Well, that's alarming. We need some giant flypaper, stat!

I wonder how many extras fell off that ledge

#Monsterdon

some people would pay a lot to be tormented by harpies

#monsterdon

They harpies are fliers. Shouldn't they have seen the argonauts hiding on TOP of the ruins on their way down?

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Like, dudes, the harpies are just doing their harpy things. Don’t mess with them, and they won’t mess with you.

#Monsterdon

Shouldn't feed wildlife, they get aggressive and lose their wild skills. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

“Good thing we brought this building sized net instead of water, right guys??” #Monsterdon

You're saying all I had to do not to have dinner stolen is MOVE MY TABLE? SERIOUSLY?! gods above i'm so stupid

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Phineas: Growl at me all you want, Zeus!

Zeus: <ZOT>

#Monsterdon

“You growl away all you want, Zeus” #Monsterdon

The old man is being punished for calling Zeus “Juice”.

#Monsterdon

This guy being “Master Of The Harpys” is a movie only available on PornHub #Monsterdon

Oh, that's nice of them to bring food for the homeless person squatting in the abandoned temple. #monsterdon

I may be unable to watch #monsterdon because small human, but I feel like I’m watching along anyway thanks to all the people I follow who post about it.

#monsterdon
The Gods have gone too far with me.. brother, I hear ya.

I guess the Argonauts’ new outfits were in the boot of the boat.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

I love quick time harch

#Monsterdon

Free me from these tormenting Arby's!

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Jason tells Hercules that Hylus, I think the dude he was goat chasing with is missing and probably dead, so Hercules decides to stay on the island to look for him.

This triggers a partial mutiny which Jason puts down by asking Hera to tell the boys that Hylus is dead and Hercules is not fated to go on this boat ride, so they should sail on without him and to Phyrgia to find a guy named Finneas (and probably Ferb), and that subdues the mutiny.

#monsterdon

So, as the resident fictional creature, I just want to say that harpies are perfectly nice people. They get unfairly maligned in the media.

Oh, sure, some of them are assholes, but isn't that true of every group other than owlbears?

#Monsterdon

Ooh! Batwing Harpies!

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

No ... wait ... they're seagulls.

No, harpies. Seagulls. With a side order of corella.

More ruins? #monsterdon

#monsterdon I imagine living in ancient Greece must have sucked big time. Dudes with Timpani always following you everywhere playing I-V-I-V over and over. Trying to eat some fig, bung bong bung bong. Trying to use the crapper in peace, bung bong bung bong.

If he's Phineas, where the hell is Ferb?!

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Honestly if you did sin *every* day that would be impressive dedication

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

One way Harryhausen saved money was by buying only 2 timpani drums for the orchestra. Bum dum bum dum
