I like a good game of prophecy chess.

Olympians & Oliphants war gaming. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon I love the board games the Gods are always playing.

Hey it’s FTD florist guy came to take Jason to the gods.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@neia fair point

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Man tripping on volcanic fumes must really be something.

#Monsterdon

In a cruel jest, the gods make a vape out of Jason. #Monsterdon

So, the old soothsayer was Hermes all along.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

i was too busy thinking about cheese and missed something
#monsterdon

Team rocket's blasting off agaiiiiiiiin' #monsterdon

@diazona@techhub.social Wouldn't you, if you were a god?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Jeez, the gods were vain.

#Monsterdon

Ah yes, Hermes. Bringer of dreams, writer of Hamilton …

#Monsterdon

wait what
#monsterdon

#monsterdon I was Hermes the whole time! Hiding as an old guy for this prank for 20 years!! You should see your face!!!

'No no no I asked for a giant WOMAN' #monsterdon

'sup hermes #monsterdon

Greeksleeves was all my love, Greeksleeves was my delight.... #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

wait where'd the huge man go
#monsterdon

Oh this is absolutely one of the worst episodes of original Star Trek

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Seriously, this Faith vs. No Faith thing was big in the Sword & Sandals epics: Ben Hur, The Robe, The Ten Commandments

#Monsterdon

"Hi, I'm your host, Hermes. I've been here the whollllle time." #Monsterdon

Does Jason not wonder why there are so many royal guards hanging out at this camp?

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Okay but it is kind of clever to send the guy prophesied to kill you off on a quest to find something unfindable because best case scenario he does in fact find it because fate needs him to make it back to kill you.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

"We needed a transition to get Jason to visit the gods.... and we finally arrived at htis particular way of transporting Jason, which has to be a rather mystical way" - Harryhausen

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 couldn't one of the guys in Superfriends do this?

it's the flowers guy!

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

MAX KLINGER!? #Monsterdon

how come this dude is wearing a bag #monsterdon

Okay, chicks dancing. For sure at an orgy now. #monsterdon

That's right, step onto the Transporter pad aaaaaaand #Monsterdon

"Come with me"

Jason: "why?"

Instantly smarter than almost every other character in #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@Taweret Mythical chic. It was like the shiplap of the BCE times.

#monsterdon

This movie is too religious. Always the gods this, and the gods that.

#Monsterdon

If you want to be angry the entire time you watch this movie, just replace "gods" with "AI".

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

"The statue was the god Hermes." Why isn't it just like a pillar with a penis? That's the traditional thing, innit?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon
I think Jason is getting fleeced.

Gnome Ann can tell you where to find the fleece! Go find her, quickly! #Monsterdon

“While he is searching for the golden fleece, he will be at the ends of the earth” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Pellias more risk-tolerant than most people on the sharp end of a prophesy.

"Sometimes the gods argue amongst themselves, then great winds blow."

Yeah, tension makes me farty too.

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

It's almost like they were dancing to nonexistant music that was changed between shooting and editing!

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

We have…Bad Day-for-Night! Truly, the free space on any Monsterdon bingo

#Monsterdon

“Great winds blow, temples fall” dogs and cats living together #Monsterdon

why are the ruins already ruins? its ancient times

#monsterdon

RE: https://mstdn.plus/@JoeWynne/116236145118217479

For anyone else trying to find this.

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@cptbutton The dance of joy?!

#Monsterdon

Lyre, lyre

PANTS ON FIRE

#Monsterdon

TBH if I were Pelias, I'd figure out my retirement now. Alas, humility is not a strong suit of, well, anyone in ancient Greek writing.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

So Jason didn't think to ask, "Hey, what's your name, dude I saved from drowning?" #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 <Anakin voice> "Lyre!"

That famous old Greek tune, Greensleeves.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Jason just got golden fleeced #Monsterdon

"My companions are yours to command" He's so welcoming of his would-be usurper. #Monsterdon

Don't feel bad about only having one sandal, these dancers are barefoot.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Yeah, sure. A tree at the end of the world? That's a fantastic idea, why don't you go do that?
#monsterdon

I've read Argonautica. You have dudes with these cool sounding names like Acastus and Orphius...and then this bro...named...Jason. Who has a lot of delis named after him. #monsterdon

The tree at the end of this week's Monsterdon?
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

Jason, Jason, Jason... #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963 #iykyk

Is the tree at the end of the world like the restaurant at the end of the universe?

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 so there's thing thing that heals the sick and brings peace and they want to go steal it from the place where it currently, presumably, is healing the sick and bringing peace

'I'm putting together a team' #monsterdon

Jason: Hi, random stranger. How about I tell you my secret identity and goals? I'm sure that since I save you from the stream, you'll help me! #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

#monsterdon
Jason, be advised by me..
Awkward wording, there..

@banderkat kaiju, maybe?

#monsterdon

Jason's shooting for the mayorship of NYC. #Monsterdon

This “fleece” sounds more like a sampo #Monsterdon

Endless gold can do all sorts of things.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

This is a very intense conversation #monsterdon

It took Polias 20 *years* to do that?

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts

Take Ben Hur + either of the last two Hercules movies and that’s where you find this acting and this dialogue

#Monsterdon

Jason has approximately no boundaries. Is he a tabby? #Monsterdon

Heh I noticed Pelias not specifying *who* he was fighting for

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"i could find pelias and kill him"

evidence suggests you couldn't.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

"I have waited for you for twenty years." But you haven't aged, you just added a bit of gray dye to your beard?

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Yeah, that's no big deal. My house is lousy with dancing maidens.

#monsterdon

damn, jason, just spill your whole life story, why don't you. chill dude.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The fun never ends at Pelias camp
#monsterdon

The ash man reminds me of Michael Palin dressed as the “it man” from Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

#Monsterdon

Ah yeah, the famous "I've got scabies" dance of the wet veils.
#Monsterdon

Dangit my streaming froze #monsterdon

Now do the frug!

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

"You must accept the hospitality of my camp... Well, it's more kitsch than camp."

#Monsterdon

That guy is mad at Jason because he usually sits in that chair. #Monsterdon

I remember enjoying tonight's #Monsterdon watching it on broadcast as a kid.

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/11533

I was fascinated by the special effects, of course, and the high adventure. I don't remember Jason and the Argonauts being so theatrical.

Behold! The dalmatian!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Welcome to my renfaire!

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Don't think that should count against her 5

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

Mom: "Guess he doesn't travel light, does he?"

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Cue the orion slave women #monsterdon

Why is it always liturgical dance :/ #Monsterdon

“no i just said, *palace*” #monsterdon

#monsterdon
And now, some writhing..

NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT

#Monsterdon

Oh hello dancers #Monsterdon

Prophecy mentioned his one sandal but not his fetching sack dress #Monsterdon

@whiskeysailor

Entirely true to mythology, then.

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The ghost smoke needs to decide which way it's going
