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 Iβm telling people. This paradox caused an imbalance and triggered the Final Destination movies. Fanfic time. #monsterdon
thanks so much #Monsterdon. Great movie pick and great people.. have a good night everyone
#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 Shiny Golden Skeletor is hilarious but they're wasting a tremendous opportunity here, they should have had him delivering a completely unhinged monologue during this entire fight scene instead of just having him spout belligerent one-liners.
(Yes, yes, I should have worked "a golden opportunity" into that sentence, give me a break)
I love how Evil Lyn is seeing which way this battle is going and running away, smart evil lady.
#monsterdon
notice that Skeletor's plan goes wrong when he stops being goth #monsterdon
Dude, you can just take drugs to feel a part of the cosmos, no need for all the S&M....
Awww man, Skeletor is getting so turned on seeing He-Man being whipped...and tbh.....
How many barely disguised fetishes are in this movie?
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse
The parallels between this and Highlander II are astounding. In this paper I will #monsterdon
#monsterdon (there are 35 minutes left in this? So that's at least one more plot beat before the dΓ©nouement then?)
#monsterdon _Skeletor approaches on a decently well-made Thanksgiving parade float_
Never trust a ghost mom. #monsterdon
#monsterdon Julie's mother is back from the dead! Channelling a bit of Stanislaw Lem's Solaris now?
(edit: yes, yes, of course it's Evil-lyn, we all know)
hut hut hut hut hut hut hut hut
Evil-Lyn > Skeletor #monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse
He Man is a gentleman because he gives the lady his cape
One thing I can already say is this is effing Citizen Kane compared to βInvasion of the Star Creaturesβ #monsterdon
[sounds of SnoopJ furiously scribbling out "SYNTH MUSIC" on his #Monsterdon bingo card]
Oh god, that is him, isn't it?
Tom Paris!
RENORMALIZATION MENTIONED
"Literally anywhere in the Multiverse. Sorry about that"
#monsterdon Why does everyone keep calling Gwildor a worm? He doesn't really merit that particular label, I think. More... shrew-like?
We're 16 minutes in and we know what Skeletor wants, who he considers to be his enemies, and how he intends to achieve his goals. That's pretty good leadership from a technical perspective! Still waiting to see how our merry band of misfits here measures up.
Dude brought a sword to a laser pistol fight. #monsterdon
Nowadays this would have been at least three movies and they wouldn't get to Earth until the end of the first
Tonight's #Monsterdon was terrible, and I loved every second of it. A+ selection, team.
You know, I never understood why He-Man lived in "Castle Greyskull". Thematically, shouldn't Skeletor live there?
That's needlessly confusing.
#monsterdon
@futurebird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_IV_(1974_film) you mean? Seems like not my kind of movie (although it could be great for #Monsterdon)
TBH I'm probably going to be watching Dimension 20 again. I always plan to queue up something good after #Monsterdon
#monsterdon I never knew there was an after credits bit! That's awesome! Thanks @Taweret@octodon.social for hosting as always! Yay!
βIβll be back.β Oh Frank. If only. You were awesome. You could have had a whole ironic Jack Palance self-parody career. Imma go back and watch your Dracula now. #monsterdon
#monsterdon As bad as that movie was, I enjoyed it way more than the veg-men from last week. Similar costumes though, now that I think about it...
Crossover prequel! This movie triggers the events of the Final Destination movies! Whereβs Tony Todd #monsterdon
I think Teela had the eye for Monica from Friends and the 2020s remake would have gone there
Backup sword!
Slow motion is the only way to fall. #monsterdon
Oh that's very Return of the Jedi...
#monsterdon There's a clean part of the town that's just empty now. Part of a car, part of a building, the smell of burnt hair..
Skeletor has levelled up
#monsterdon "I'll never kneel to you!"
"Yes you will! Yes you will, or I shall reapΒΉ unforgettable harm on you!"
ΒΉ: ahem, "wreak"
When my evil army invades a town, we usually go a little faster down Main Str
White boy doesn't feel special.....watch out everyone!
#monsterdon Evil magic wound could be healed with penicilin. But, okay.
C'mon Tom Paris, your mediocre music skills are needed
#monsterdon Oh no Julie is suffering from third degree Skeletor-zap burns on over 20 percent of her right calf, all is lost
My wife is one of those people fascinated by icky wounds, cherish them
@SRLevine his henchmen are really shit though, I'm feeling it #monsterdon
Skeletor about to play some Sun-Ra style space jazz!
#monsterdon It's a +10 βAnguished Cry Of The Incredibly Gullibleβ
Team Evil-lyn
C'mon Monica, weird alien shenanigans and your Ma is back from the dead?
think girl, THINK!
I like how in the 80s women are now allowed to be fighters
Some rather cruel social engineering being done on Monica there....
Gotta go, I inexplicably see the ghost of my mom #monsterdon
#monsterdon The piles of dead bodies will keep the medical examiner busy for a long long time. Since none of them are exactly human.
Gwildor loves free jazz
I keep expecting Boba Fett to be among the mercenaries
Bald cops in the 80s always smoked when they were illegally in somebody's girlfriend's parents' house
...So they just leave the hypno collar behind? That thing's gotta be expensive. #Monsterdon
#monsterdon We've killed the LG Microwave, sir. Just a button, just like the manual said.
#monsterdon How is it that the cop realizes it's not a synth but the musician doesn't?
#monsterdon The penalty for failure is waiting around for the next episode, or, being vaporized, fleh. Either way.
"And that's why I'm not wearing any clothes." #monsterdon
Presses the wrong button on the Wormhole generator and kills everyone with gamma radiation.
Kids, be careful when messing with SpaceTime
So they're vegetarians?
#monsterdon Let's just hope that the Cosmic Key doesn't fall into the dastardly grip of Depeche Mode, huh!?!
If this band doesnβt sound like Devo or Talking Heads, then Iβm going back to Eternia #monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse
Japanese synthesizer cemetery #mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon
Oh crap, they're on Earth.
I like this scanner. That's a cool prop. #monsterdon
Dolph is really struggling with complex lines like "Let her go."
Teela is missing her cobra staff and outfit
I swear I heard an Indiana Jones riff
You see, the thing about action is that the audience doesn't really need to keep track of where things are relative to each other in the scene.
@RobynGoodfellow he would be dangerous for kids to Google, for one thing #monsterdon
Ok, so when you're adapting a fantasy property and have no idea what to do, even though kids JUST WANT TO SEE THE CHARACTERS DOING WHAT THEY ALREADY DO IN THE TV SHOW, you traditionally pull the ridiculous fantasy hero into the real world
You do this for cheap sets but also the cheap joy of a huge muscleman in a fur loincloth and cape at the mall saying "this is what you humans call... a twisty cone?"
This movie didn't have a single moment of that
@futurebird Oh that's good! Though TBH now it's sounding so perfect for #Monsterdon that I kind of don't want to spoil it in hopes that we'll see it on the poll eventually
@CactuarJoe I really think this was an underlying theme throughout most of the cartoon, too. Evil-Lyn was really too good for Skeletor, and she just didn't know it. She could have done so much more evil on her own, without Skeletor weighing her down.
Spoiler if you're behind - her parents live. Yeah, I know.
Needs more cow
Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! We had some fun tonight.
@pixelstick This movie WAS a winner. At least, it's the best thing that happened to me this week. #monsterdon
@paco bless, they tried #monsterdon
Lundgren had both a Drama Coach AND a _doctor_ Speech Coach. #monsterdon
"i'll be back"
after theeeese messages
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon (post-credits bit!) bwahahahahahaha
alas he did not come back
That was a silly movie. Lots of fun bits, though.
Another #monsterdon in the can. This one was nostalgic for me yet still burned with that sweet, sweet bad movie mojo.
People, there's an after credits scene...
So do they have knowledge of the next few weeks of history or something?
#monsterdon Keep this, and Eternia will always be near, or, hair loss, sterilization, and endless choices of cake or death.
