@miru between the music and your interstitials, it feels like I'm watching Adult Swim between shows, and I love it.

#monsterdon #doublefeature

Well that was a delight. Yay Harryhausen! Practical fx beats the hell out of CGI so often.
#Monsterdon

Well that was perfect, @miru viewers stay tuned for MORE HARRYHAUSEN: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) https://miru.miyaku.media/

#Monsterdon

Jason WILL RETURN in ...

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Well I'm certainly not going to Schneer at _this_ production, for what it was that was pretty great. Phenominal work from Harryhausen, dang.

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Abrupt ending in the middle of the story, natch

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Abrupt ending, Right on time, just when you least expect it.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

Ahh, a much nicer ending for Medea than she gets in the old stories.

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Skeleton army final showdown was pretty awesome. Thanks #monsterdon ers. Tomorrow at 8 P ET #mondayactionmovie is featuring.....Take care. See ya soon.

I wonder if King Neckbeard is sending the skeletons against the argonauts because he knows his mooks won't be able to beat them - or perhaps because he wants to demonstrate the power of having a skeleton army under his command.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon one of the most abrupt endings, almost mid-fight

And they fucked off into the reflecting pool.

#Monsterdon

Oh, wow! That entire fight sequence with the skeletons was amazing.

#Monsterdon

The lesson here us that strength training is SO IMPORTANT you can't win a battle if you lack muscle tone #Monsterdon

zeus running from the kissing part? really? that seems hardly likely

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

sploosh and we win

which should have been done first

#Monsterdon

It's delightful how lively Jason's skirt is. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts 🍿🎥

Did they just use up all the power of the fleece? It’s no longer shiny.

#Monsterdon

@JoeWynne still holds up #monsterdon

lol, the one without a head!

#Monsterdon

Why would stabbing a skeleton have any effect at all

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon This is so much better than the Hydra fight.

This one actually feels like the monsters exist in the same universe as the human characters.

oh no, that one lost his head!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

The skeleton quailing and clutching its arm after it gets slashed!!

#Monsterdon

holy hell the motion smoothness, and the interaction, this is astounding

harryhausen really was a mad genius

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Oh wow you can see how his sword is all dinged up

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Attacking one at a time and can’t aim, clearly the skeletons of imperial stormtroopers #Monsterdon

This is gorgeous!
#Monsterdon

ALRIGHT IT'S ON :blobrainbow: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
Hey, what happens if you throw a golden fleece on a skeletor? Will he heal?

Ray did actually take lessons in swordsmanship so he could get the feel of it!

#monsterdon

While fleeing from the Colchisians with the glitter fleece, Medea gets shot by a Colchisian archer. But then we lay the glitter fleece on her to see if it can heal her and it does. So that's nice, we stole a magical healing fleece.

#monsterdon

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck lmao
#monsterdon

They should have bone swords and bone shields

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

Flank them until they get arthritis

#Monsterdon

"The skeletons were a big problem, they were only 8 inches high, and I had to conceal all of the ball joints and screw threads! ... My father actualy made the armatures for them on a lathe."

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne oooh neat detail about the shields

I see tentacles!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Those skeletons may be dead, but they still have a sense of style with those shields #monsterdon

These skeletons were awesome in their day. I remember seeing this as a kid and being pretty impressed.
#monsterdon

@trixter It's the bones of the hydra's previous victims

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

I like how King Neckbeard screams "The Children of the Night!" and then lightning flashes and the hydra immolates itself so his goons can go grap its teeth.

King Neckbeard's actor had the correct energy for that scene.

#monsterdon

@ottaross I would be very happy if the skeletons turned out to be a boy band and challenged the Argonauts to a dance-off

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

@Taweret Standard feature of summonings

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! The bone squad on deck.
#Monsterdon

I too afford my enemies the respect of completing their rituals to summon unstoppable monsters when I could simply cut them down where they stand. It's just sportsmanlike!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

yayy! Skeletons!

#Monsterdon

Uh, Dude! Why would you wait for the guy to toss the teeth around?!

#Monsterdon

where did the skeletons get swords

#monsterdon

@LuluHelle yeah seriously

They really should revisit the idea of leaving the fleece, taking the flower, and starting a biotech company

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Care for a Jelly Baby?

#Monsterdon
#JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Too good. Just too good!

#monsterdon #jasonandtheargonauts1963

#monsterdon here we fuckin gooooooooo

I don't know what spell he is casting, but let's all stand here slack-jawed and find out!
#monsterdon

That flower did a better job healing than the fleece

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon
When you go to the hospital and their is just a room with a golden fleece in it..

"It's true, it does have the power to heal. And it's not bad at a make-up redo either!"

#Monsterdon

It's not golden or fleece, it's just tinsel.

#monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts

a warm blanket WILL do wonders, that much is true.

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Give me the fleece, it has the power to heal!

It does?

Yeah, I read the manual.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

FLAMEZES!

That was almost a Wilhelm scream. #Monsterdon

I miss shag carpeting

#Monsterdon

jesus christ you can't just cut music and arrow the savior woman in the back what is wrong with you #monsterdon

The Golden Fleece looks to me like a great big tangle of Christmas tree tinsel.

#monsterdon

Taking out the traitor first....

#Monsterdon

If the hydra's teeth are so dangerous how are you handling them with your bare hands? #monsterdon

In mythology the hydra was slain by the hero Bellerophon while riding Pegasus by stuffing a molton lump of lead down its throat.

It is little known fact that all metaphorical hydras can be slain this way as well.

#Monsterdon

well, I see _some_ screenwriter read The Lord of the Rings

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Secret Society of Silly Hats #Monsterdon

Hecate's ultimate rains fire from the sky only to set the hydra on fire huh

kinda underwhelming

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

They cut Jason fighting Cerberus, the 3 headed dog, from the film for budget reasons.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon the children of the niiiight! What beautiful fleeces they make

Oh cheese and rice, that IS a cunning hat!

(I am slowly falling further and further behind everyone else as the Tubi ads roll.)

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

the children of the day-for-night!!!

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

It's around about now that we all realize that the fleece would be much more useful in its original live flying giant riding ram aspect. #Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts1963

Oooo....hydra. Those are a real thing. They're little microscopic critters that are immortal. I don't think they hiss like that tho. #monsterdon

Oh Medea loves Jason, huh? Makes sense. He's the hero and she's known him for two whole days. #Monsterdon

Why does old man tighty whitey have a tunic on?

#Monsterdon

What is going on with the costume department for the Colchisians?

I mean, I guess the guard in scythian clothes makes sense.

#monsterdon

A hydra killed WITHOUT FIRE? The heck? What kinda myth is this?
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

Best delayed death ever

#Monsterdon

Jason, what've I told you? ALWAYS DOUBLE STAB

#monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

That’s the way to kill a hydra. Don’t bother with its heads. Go straight for its heart.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

#monsterdon
Jason, when I said you needed to keep hydrated I didn't mean.. Oh never mind..

Jason, stawp, you're embarassing yourself.

#Monsterdon

Man, he really does not know how to use a shield, does he?

#Monsterdon #JaconAndTheArgonauts1963

Jason will connect in a second
#Monsterdon

The fleece, "would you like to live deliciously?"
The hydra, "hisss hisss hisss hisssss hiss hisssss"
#Monsterdon #JasonandtheArgonauts

oh I LOVE the hydra POV panning shot, so cool

#Monsterdon

lol, so that's where Acrastas is....

#Monsterdon

@moira I mean, really. It’s just asking to be stolen.

#Monsterdon

Hydra just want friend

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

7 headed serpent, hello
#Monsterdon

Yep, that's a good hydra

#Monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts1963

Zeus' holy Brillo pad

#Monsterdon

:blobastonished: #ItsATrap #Monsterdon

King Neckbeard he thanks the son of King Pelias for revealing this plot (he was secretly the argonaut who mutinied I think, but I guess he was alive and not drowned).

Medea is sad about this because she wanted the cute boy she met to get the fleece even though its treason and is telling Hecate this during the underground temple's after hours.

#monsterdon

How long are they going to continue this DAY POSING AS NIGHT charade?

#Monsterdon

All of this fighting over the Golden Fleece, and I am not hearing a single person asking if there's some sort of flock of Golden Sheep somewhere so that EVERYBODY can have a Golden Fleece...?

#monsterdon
