Still sad that we never got to see Fisto. #monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse

Monsterdon last week at 11pm: “We’re so over”
Monsterdon this week: “We’re sooooooo back!”

@diazona

So uh.... what about something a little deeper. like um... uh Phase IV? #monsterdon

It's almost *too good* of a movie. But it's also very fun.

Masters of the Universe was awful, but still preferable to the sportsball game.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon SKELETOR DIDN'T DIE AFTER ALL and he just threatened us with a sequel, unacceptable

But on the plus side he did apparently fuck off into a sparkly pink sea of some kind, so we'll always have that at least

lol, the 'Submission Collar'

These people are kinky AF

#monsterdon

Tom Paris from Voyager and Monica from Friends, this is top level Monsterdon casting!

#monsterdon

#mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon

When is the Evil-lyn movie? #mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon

How skeletor looks to me in that helmet: #monsterdon

My GOSH that was fun. I needed this. Bad movies are, like, in my blood. #monsterdon

Remember when we used to watch good movies? Like Invasion of the Star Creatures?

#monsterdon

It's okay, Chekhov's Perfect Pitch is going to save the day

#Monsterdon

"Holy shit!" gives me #MonsterdonBingo!

#Monsterdon

Ha! This is so corny and I love it. #monsterdon

Tom Paris, the lost years... #monsterdon

@diazona @futurebird

Phase IV is definitely a #Monsterdon movie.

The ant funeral scene - wow!

That was fun! A zillion thanks to @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting us, and also to @JoeWynne for the fun movie trivia. 🙏 #monsterdon

#monsterdon Time-traveling Julie back before the fatal crash of her parents so she can prevent their death feels like a very weird emotional beat after the unrelenting goofiness of the last 1h41m

Oh wow, that last "I HAVE THE POWER" holler was
I mean it was consistent with the quality of the rest of this production I guess

#monsterdon _Skeletor falls from a great height, presumably to his death, also presumably because you can show characters fighting with swords but not *actually killing* each other with swords, you have to leave that part to gravity_

Sorry, Hans Gruber did it better

#monsterdon "Yes! Let this be our final battle!"

o god please yes let it

#monsterdon Skeletor's fatal weakness is that he is completely incapable of resisting the opportunity to monologue

Skeletor giving a standard Ted Talk. #monsterdon

[smirking directly into the camera] Woman at arms

#Monsterdon

I feel like you could have given these humans a Speak-and-Spell and they be equally entranced, for days. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Technically He-Man works like a radio button. He's He-Man, then Adam, then He-Man, depending on how he unsheaths his sword and claims his power. Otherwise, he's a milquetoast moralizer with Daddy issues. Unsheaths... his... sword… for… power… LOL. And people wonder why #GenX is so queer. Fur lined loincloths.

Is that the evil guy falling down the shaft scene from Return Of The Jedi?

#monsterdon

and the movie fucks off into the orb for one last shot of Mr. Meatball himself

#Monsterdon

This ending is trying to cash a check that the rest of the movie didn't write. #monsterdon

uh, thank you for this magic space-jewelry, it's very inconveniently sized

#Monsterdon

The space sphincter closes, it's time for some sweet sweet denouement.

#Monsterdon

"I was in Korea, I never saw anything like this" would hit differently today I think.

Some wild things happen in K-Dramas

#monsterdon

"Circus act?"

Cosplay mate, it will be called Cosplay

#monsterdon

It's like the worst of Flash Gordon, Krull and Dark Crystal blended together with a dash of gay porn

#monsterdon

At least there were no racist depictions of First Nations. That's the best thing I can say about it.

#monsterdon

lol "It was all a Tom Paris holodeck episode, but the jizz on the floor afterwards was real"

#monsterdon

Well, that was fun and it took my mind off of... waves broadly... for a while. #monsterdon

Skeletor’s new look
#monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse

The loneliness of Good vs the loneliness of Evil would be interesting in a very different movie.

Here it's just a line.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

was not expected a space sphincter in this movie

#Monsterdon

Blade and Evil-Lyn sharing a look right before the whipping definitely suggests that they're doing this for fun.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Dolph Lundgren really just gettin through his lines

he has been nothing in his career if not consistent

#Monsterdon

Did anybody see The Beastmaster? It sucked, sorta like this, but it had ferrets.

#monsterdon

I can't get over young Courteney Cox

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's goofy and terrible, the plot is embarrassingly bad, and Gwildor needs to not exist, but it's hard to fault the pacing: it's pretty well structured in terms of establishing motivations, setting the scene, and then moving the plot forward.

The ray guns used by these characters definitely seem to be from the same arms dealers that supplied the Autobots and Decepticons. Massive property damage, lots of sparks, limited lethality?

Note to self: Don't leave photographs and news clippings of my personal traumas laying around in convenient heaps for antagonists to use against me. #monsterdon

Explaining to your girlfriend that Meg Foster holding you in a submission collar is NOT cheating...

#monsterdon

If "kink" were on my bingo card I would defnitely go ahead and tick it off right now

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Again, Skeletor with the clear communication about priorities, judicious delegation of resource allocation decisions to the domain experts, and follow-through on delivery expectations and timelines. Vaporizing Saurod there was arguably a waste of a potentially useful individual contributor, but pobody's nerfect.

Frank really wishes this was Shakespeare but the script does not call for Shakespeare, just Ham

#monsterdon

Give us an Evil Lyn spinoff you cowards!

#monsterdon

Courteney Cox is so stinkin' cute in this, I can't

#Monsterdon

HE SAID IT! 🤩 #monsterdon

(ha ha yes I am easily amused)

The Thing has been said!

#Monsterdon

They blew the budget on hand-drawn lightning
#monsterdon

["Mission Impossible" briefly threatens to take over the score]

#Monsterdon

I'm getting some ESCAPE FROM L.A. vibes

#Monsterdon

This is fun. Stupid fun, but fun.

#Monsterdon

She has to stare at her locket because iphones weren't invented yet

#monsterdon

wow you fuckers post A LOT.. can't even keep up with ya. So sorry if i don't give ya a fav. there too damn many of you.
#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This movie is really wasting no time at all on telling us anything about the characters or the world they come from, are they? Just completely relying on the audience already knowing all the lore and picking right up where the last Saturday morning cartoon left off. Kind of like diving in to the Fast and the Furious franchise at movie six.

(Ah, so the sounds from the Cosmic Key are definitely diegetic then, good to know.)

I like the way the key goes beep boop

#Monsterdon

Shockingly, this film lost more money than it made

#monsterdon

One of the few Monsterdon movies where 'Man' is not the monster perhaps, though that cop was a bit iffy...

#monsterdon

Post-credits establish that Skeletor takes fall damage like an FPS character (a bit of water and he's fine)

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

#monsterdon And that's a wreck! The Eternians continue to exist in their parallel Matteliverse, Julie and Kevin remember everything that happened but nobody else in the world does, and she's not moving away anymore after all? Maybe she also didn't quit her job at the rib restaurant? It's very unclear. But definitely nobody fucked off into the sea, and Beast-Man did not kill and eat Gwildor after all.

Thank you for hosting, @Taweret@octodon.social! This was truly one of the films of all time.

He keeps racking that shotgun and then when he starts shooting, it's an automatic

#monsterdon

"Parents are alive but Hitler won the war...swings and roundabouts"

Don't fuck with the Timeline

#monsterdon

One third of the people of Eternia will welcome Skeletor's dominion....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "I give you a choice. Return with me to Eternia as my slave, and save their despicable lives, or perish with them on this primitive and tasteless planet."

who are you calling tasteless

#monsterdon There might still be enough time for Beast-Man to kill and eat Gwildor

I love 80s/90s explosion and fire stunts. It was a time, man.

#Monsterdon

pew pewwww
boop boop
bzewww pew pew pow
boop boop beep boop beep

#Monsterdon

Periodically I consider actually watching the #monsterdon movie but honestly just following along with the hashtag is entertaining enough. Thank you all!

This is *awesome*. How have I never seen this movie before. #monsterdon

".62 Cronons to Moonrise" is an album title

#monsterdon

#monsterdon _four characters burst through the same front door_

_Teela hollers_ ALL CLEAR OVER HERE

(they're all standing literally shoulder to shoulder with each other in exactly the same place, looking in exactly the same direction)

Thanks Teela
Top spotting job

All good couples have a code for when one of them isn't free to talk on the phone due to kidnapping

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Is that Principal Strickland from Back to the Future!? Except that in this one the authority figure he represents is the police instead of the education system?

_throwing popcorn at the TV_ CALL HIM A SLACKER

Why don’t people ever think to take the MacGuffin to a pawn shop? #monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse

Fun pew-pew VFX

#Monsterdon

The guys-in-suits acting by the baddies has me feeling bad for picking on the movie's action earlier. That gym sequence was fun to watch

#Monsterdon

Blade’s martial arts kiai is “Yeah! Yeah! Yeeaaahh!” #monsterdon

Love how these guys come straight to Earth and start punching people and setting fire to things, no messing around.

#monsterdon

Lol, what if you did see that wormhole open up and all those weird fetish people jump out, would you just pretend it all away?

#monsterdon

Too Easy!!! *flexes* #monsterdon #monsterdonbingo

I think we all know where this 'tragic family death' subplot is going, especially with wormholes.

Back in the 80s we thought all our problems could be solved with Wormholes, little did we know our problems were only beginning....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Nobody wants to bring up biological issues on simply dropping in on a planet like Earth. I kind of wonder what they'll encounter first, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, TB, just keep on going…

Awwww, 1980s Courtney Cox, bless!

#monsterdon

A locksmith longs for the days when they didn't have to lock their doors

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Dolph Lundgren as He-Man there was uhhh seasoned with a truly lamentable quantity of salad dressing in that first fight scene there

Oh get ready, folks! Here's Bob Morris' review from the Orlando Sentinel: "If nothing else, we can probably thank Lundgren for ensuring that there will be no more Rambo movies in the near future because he has obviously depleted the world supply of body grease." #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe She became the secret villain of Twin Peaks: The Return. #crossover #fanfic #monsterdon

@ramsey @CactuarJoe No, Evil-Lyn DID know she was too good for Skeletor... #monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf I’m telling people. This paradox caused an imbalance and triggered the Final Destination movies. Fanfic time. #monsterdon

HE SAID THE LINE!

HE SAID IT!

RIGHT AT THE END LIKE A CUMSHOT!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The cosmic key put her in bed, put her in her jammies. Pretty solid Macguffin.

it's ok. Skeletor managed to hang on to some bars and didn't fall. meanwhile Han and Chewie are on the way.
#Monsterdon

I like that the throne room has "Battle Lights Mode" for that classic 80s sword battle look

#monsterdon
