These creatures tormenting the blind dude are very Ableist, let him eat!

Oh they've taken his stick now!

#Monsterdon

then hercules goes off to do the two movies we watched last time

#monsterdon

The giant robot's weakness is the hatch in his heel, which you can unscrew, causing hot kool-aid to flow out of it, which deflates the robot and causes him to choke, then crack, then fall down, then shatter.

I'm not sure why the hatch needed to be in one of his heels, you'd think somewhere less accessible would be better, but I am not a bronze age giant robot designer yet.

#monsterdon

we were, all along, the best man among us

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

I don't mean to be a backseat adventurer, but Jason man you've used ALL of your wishes before the movie's half over! #Monsterdon

@bunnyhero or like Flattus Asa Pancakeus even

#Monsterdon

Well, maybe someone shouldn't have got all klepto with the first cool looking javelin he found, should he?

#monsterdon

Good luck getting warranty service on Talos...

I love a good ship-building montage

Are they building a ship or a trojan bunny?

#monsterdon

RIP to Hercules's twink.

@hollie Easily confused with a manhole cover

Rowboat 0
Bronze Robot 1

RIP Argo you will be missed.

#monsterdon

Just stand there while he defeats you. No big. #monsterdon

It's steam powered? Who woulda thought

#monsterdon
#JasonandtheArgonauts

Somehow a whispering Hera head is even creepier than a talking one. Like ASMR uncanny valley worst of both worlds.
#monsterdon

there should be more movies where a giant robot chases a rowboat.

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne maybe Daimajin? Daiei's giant statue on a rampage movie.
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

Water does not scale to miniature sizes, that or droplets used to be the size of yoga balls. #monsterdon

I switched off not long after this last time. So I don't actually know what happens past the next terrifying talking Hera head scene. #monsterdon

Whatever you do, don't look up!

#Monsterdon

"Yeah...and don't fucking come back!" -Talos

#Monsterdon

Wow, he abandoned quite a bit of his crew there...

#Monsterdon

these effects hold up! #monsterdon

The boat looks more wall-eyed than usual.

#Monsterdon

Ok, I am non-ironically loving that living bronze statue #Monsterdon

HASHTAG NOT MY HERCULES

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963 #NotMyHercules

Unsurprisingly we made some mistakes in our insane plan and now our crew is running out of water. The shipwright dismisses this as grumbling and tells them to um... drink brine? While he goes to tell them this, Jason asks the figurehead for help and she tells him to sail to "the island of bronze" which is where the gods were making weapons and then gives extra advice that will be revealed later.

#monsterdon

Hercules and his side twink ruin it for everyone. Spoiler alert. #Monsterdon

Sir, the papier mache boulder just... dissolved!

#Monsterdon

I like that Herc's kind of a dumbass. He _should_ be a dumbass.

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon painting the golden fleece on your sail?! You don't wear the band's t-shirt when you go see the band, Jason!

Absolutely nothing else.
Right Hercules.
Absolutely nothing else.
(Chekovs Hercules)
#monsterdon

#monsterdon They rowed themselves partially transparent. Bravo boys!

yeah see the risk of going around announcing that you're going to dethrone the king around the king's men is that you might actually be talking to the king himself

https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116236196847084416

#monsterdon

Is there any historical evidence for the rowing pacing drum trope or is just movie BS like vikings with horns on their helmets? #monsterdon

Should athletes be allowed to skip their disk in Olympics? DISCUSS!

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

why does hercules simply not yeet the entire boat to their destination?
#monsterdon

After this Jason goes to a ruined temple and Hermes appears to him and then turns into a giant and teleports him to Olympus.

Back on Olympus, Hera and Zeus are playing their game of risk when Hermes plops him on the board. I like how the gods have a cool risk board for meddling with mortals.

Zeus offers him a boat and he says no, because he's going to build a boat with the power of love; saying no to the gods is a risky move. Hera gives him directions tho.

#monsterdon

@mmezabet

Every heist movie has a "putting the crew together" segment

#Monsterdon

Mate I feel that finding the ship before the crew may have made more sense.

#Monsterdon

This Herc really doesn't match-up to our viewing standards
#Monsterdon

nice skipping technique!

#monsterdon

Hercules could yeet that discus into space so wtf?

This movie is bullshit!

#Monsterdon

@raindrops_and_roses lol, he is a wrong'un though and he deserves a slap! #Zeus #Monsterdon

"Discus?"

No thanks, I just ate.

#Monsterdon

Content warning: The hercules in this movie is not a bodybuilder. #monsterdon

Oh and I invented the olympics to build a ship, bee tee dubs. #monsterdon

As you can see, it's the rare limited release Jason, with missing sandal

#Monsterdon

These effects were cutting edge. For its time this was 'Star Wars'. #monsterdon

It is at least a half decent Mount Olympus set and matte painting. #Monsterdon

The view from that angle 🔩

#Monsterdon

Oops, I totally forgot about #Monsterdon. I assume that's Jason and those are The Argonauts.

Check it out. I was Hermes all along. Pretty cool huh? #monsterdon

After the opening violence we get to see the gods hanging out on Mount Olympus, which looks like a classical temple but brighter and fancier than the one we saw earlier. Also they have a pool that is a TV and lets them spy on Earth... neat!

#monsterdon

Attack and dethrone the gods!

#Monsterdon

This is the time on #Monsterdon when we dance!

#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Yggdrasil? In this economy?! #monsterdon

I'm Jason, you might remember me from the title. #monsterdon

This guy looks like Vincent Price's stunt double.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 ah i love a good ren faire

oops. found him.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

lol, Hera popping out of the bushes!

#Monsterdon

Zeus has Plausible Deniability...

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The gods believe in free will

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Zeus' crib always looks like the most boring place in the universe

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963 MEANWHILE, on Mount Olympus (a totally climbable mountain)

They're certainly taking this seriously. #monsterdon

always blaming his actions on a prophecy, rich people everywhere.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Don't answer him lady, know your rights!

#Monsterdon

"You will win the throne of Thessela tonight, but in time, when Zeus ordains, you will lose it to one of the king's children."

"Then the king will have no children."

"The king has three: two daughters, and a son."

"Then two daughters and their son will die with their father tonight."

Hey this is just a wild idea, but how about no kids die no matter who is waging war. How about that. I think this is an idea worth considering

#monsterdon

The Greeks had a Purge night, clearly. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Highest Zeus, of these assholes! Fookin Greeks! Oddly specific, in the invocation…

Special shout-out to my #Monsterdon fam, I especially needed the camaraderie and feeling of belong to a community this week. Love you all! *hugs* ❤️

Tom, you speak French but you started in English? You dickhead.

#Monsterdon #MosnterdonDoubleFeature

"A girl like you, a paleontologist!" sure, I'm offended, but 6-year-old me, who went through a serious dinosaur phase, is seriously offended.

#Monsterdon

That “brontosaurus” skull looks sus. 🤔

#Monsterdon #Wrongzilla

Nova Scotia mentioned. Right next to the comic pages.
#Monsterdon #BeastFrom20000Fathoms

Overthinking #monsterdon
The skeleton warriors can't swim, but can't they still walk on the bottom of the sea and follow them back to Greece?

Bingo!

Feat of Strength - Hercules throwing the disc past the island
Teamwork - well... they were rowing together weren't they?

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

@diazona oh not yet..I'm not sure it's ever even named in the movie. I just know it from decades of monster books and web pages.
#Monsterdon #BeastFrom20000Fathoms

Is the Rhedosaurus the original big red dog of Kaiju? What color is the beast supposed to be?
#Monsterdon #BeastFrom20000Fathoms

@floatybirb I think the lesson was a bit more general: If you try to steal people's shit, they are going to fight you. Even if the gods told you to steal their shit.

#monsterdon

@floatybirb My favorite character was old man tighty whiteys, rockin’ the glorious dad bod.

#Monsterdon

This is Alpha Control saying great job again team, another movie launched into space, but we'll keep a copy of this one. And thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon More endings should just be...skeleton combat.

And that came to a rather abrupt end.

That was a lot of fun, gang. Y'all always make it better, and that one's pretty fun to begin with.

Anyway, I'm done for the night. Take care of each other. Be kind, spread love, watch all the Harryhausen you can.

Goodnight!

#Monsterdon

Thankyou for the stream, @miru !!

I'm off now to tell my GP that I died last week.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Yes, let's gloss over Medea killing her baby brother and the whole Circe thing...
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

Great show and riffs, thank you for all those responsible especially @miru for the great pre show!

In conclusion, we need more healing flowers

Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everybody for posting! Now on to The Beat from 20000 Fathoms....
