#monsterdon If they're going to show ads for something like this, they should at least be toy comercials

Julie would fall for every "hey it's me I need bail money" text scam

Boyfriend with a truth collar on? And she didn't ask him questions? They missed a real comedy moment here.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Gnome fella just pulls a gun on people when he's trying to work, we've all felt it

#monsterdon

I note how contemporary assault rifles would have ripped through those speakers

Those lasers are really shit

#monsterdon

Someone give Man-at-arms a protein bar. #monsterdon

Fortunately the collar can be removed by inputting the Konami Code #monsterdon

#monsterdon *James Tolkan staring at an empty space above the goofy Key prop, acting his absolute ass off* what are you, some kind of magician?

Again with the fried chicken, were they a sponsor?

#monsterdon

Damn. I thought I’d just keep this on in the background while I did other stuff, but it’s too interesting. Bad, unintentionally funny, and has scene-chewing villains. #monsterdon

Oh no the music is telling me Tom Paris is about to get drafted and sent to Vietnam

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon If the villains in this film spend every single fight sequence yelling at each other to do the thing that they're all doing as they're doing it I _might_ to mute this movie. I don't know why I find that so annoying but I do, extremely.

There's always a 'lizardman' in a motely crew of Space assassins, isn't there?

#monsterdon

Beastman who,s gimmick is effectively a gun?

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Growing up watching 80s movies made me never want to date guys in bands because every guy some girl was dating in a movie was in a damn band. #monsterdon

That meat could have been people for all they knew.....

Courtney Cox had a humble beginning

OH HI TOM

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Grooooooooss, her friend gave her a goodbye hug while holding a drumstick! She's got chicken grease all up in her fluffy hair now. Bleh.

Uh oh, freckles.

I have a weakness for freckles.

You might be thinking, "if I'd watched the cartoon show I would understand what's happening" but rest assured, you would not

"I don't like adventures."

Well, you're in the right movie. #monsterdon

This is fun, I should have gone to seen this as a kid

Meg Foster's Evil Lyn is going right up there in my pantheon of "Sexy Monsterdon Lady Baddies"

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I love a good matte painting! Excellent Castle Greyskull introduction!

Be the rainbow #monsterdon

I was drunk a lot in '87. I bet I would've enjoyed the movie more then.

#monsterdon

Post-credit scene - Skeletor says "I'll be back", which implies they were planning a sequel.

#monsterdon

Also why wasn't Fisto in the movies. Actually... wait... I think I know the answer to that. https://he-man.fandom.com/wiki/Fisto_(Filmation) #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

@Zerofactorial Did #monsterdon do Logan's Run? Are there monsters in that? All I remember is a cardboard box robot.

Here's the thing that always got me about the He-Man cartoon's theme song in the 80's: although the actual sequence of notes was _not_ the same, it had the same _rhythm_ as the second season (and later) theme from Remington Steele!

Compare them!

He-Man:

@ramsey @CactuarJoe I think Evil-Lyn was sabotaging Skeletor all along. She sent terrible henchmen but pretended to Skeletor they were the best. Maybe she wanted him to fail and get herself and her ship free. I'm not saying she was *good*, but maybe she was ready to move on. #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon OMG. They are ansurdly making a reboot movie and Idris Elba is Man-at-Arms. What. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_the_Universe_(2026_film)

@SordidAmok Don't be silly, we never watched that, it came in like fifth in the voting.

#monsterdon

good journey everyone! and thanks @Taweret for hosting!

meanwhile we can look forward to a new live-action HE-MAN movie that's in production, with skeletor played by... jared leto

#monsterdon

See kids? This is why you go gallivanting across the galaxy with strangers. You too can save your parents.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse1987

@kcarr2015 that was just crying out to be made into a gif! #monsterdon

@SordidAmok "Spear and magic heeelmet!" #WrongCartoon #Monsterdon

They have a magic key - they can just bounce back and forth between worlds

#monsterdon

So, are those kids stuck in a perpetual loop?

What happens a year from now when He-Man and his gang show up and lose their magic key?

#monsterdon

@helianthropy they couldn’t afford Highlander-style flint flakes. Either that, or they didn’t want to risk setting fire to the hair products and latex costumes. #monsterdon

Hahahaha, I did not know there was a post credit scene where Skeletor pops his head up and says, "I'll be back!" 👍
#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Dolf: I have the power (to kill a franchise)! #monsterdon

@apLundell@octodon.social I don't know what to call it, but it's a new type of crime, what he did there....

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Why is He-Man standing in front of Space Battleship Yamato at the end? Also this ending theme is going extra hard. They just threw every other action/fantasy movie's theme into a blender and this is what came out. The Cochicken of end-credits themes.

@paco They have tried everything, but they couldn't build an actor. #monsterdon

He's gonna tell me about the S.K.E.L.E.T.O.R. Initiative #monsterdon

Moral of the story:

Never leave home without your octode rectifier.

#monsterdon

I didn't mind the post-credit Terminator call back.

#Monsterdon

See. Sometimes we deserve a good movie on #Monsterdon
Thanks @Taweret for another week of movie monster mayhem.

I know I have a soft spot of punkish villainesses, but Evil Lyn can stay. She seriously needs to find some better henchmen, but I feel like she could do a decent Dark Sorceress thing on her own.

She just needs to take this opportunity to step out of Skeletor's shadow, spread her wings of darkness. She should go on a trip, really find herself, buy a new wardrobe and come back and stomp He-man flat. :D #Monsterdon

I loved this film. It has an endearing, nostalgic quality, and it's a nice palate cleanser, after an otherwise horrible week. It's a horrible He-Man story, though.

Thanks, @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and everyone else for the fun!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I love the names of these people. Paulette Smook-Marshall. Smook. You kept that?

@trixter wholesome #monsterdon

@paco lol, that would have been badass #monsterdon

lol, hey now....that was silly fun! You can't argue with that!

#monsterdon

OK, that was the Schikiest Schlock of the month yet! So much fun.

Thanks to @Taweret and @joewynne and @Cherizilla and @Louisa everyone else who made tonight super fun.

See you next week!!!

#monsterdon

Now we're talking about loneliness.

#monsterdon

This is how you get Final Destinationed #monsterdon

THAT WAS STUPID AND GREAT

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

After all the titties-out we've been getting lately, I love her absurdly chaste nightgown.

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon that nightgown, dang. we *are* in the 80s

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

🌌 MASTERS OF THE TRIVIA 🌌

This movie and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace both flopped, killing Cannon films about 3 years later.

#MastersOfTheUniverse

I like how the gnome is sticking with the genderqueer thing.
In the 80s no less.

#monsterdon

castle greyskull is not osha compliant

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The stargate annulus is closing. Yay, you won, sorta.

List of 80s movies that ended with throwing the bad guy off of a high place

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Every evil throne room has got an infinite pit with no railings

#monsterdon

Were they on the Death Star?

#Monsterdon

I'm surprised the fall didn't have the wilhelm scream. :/ #monsterdon

Quick He Man, the death star is falling apart!

#monsterdon

"Give He-Man some cover action."

#Monsterdon

The Terran shotgun being the only weapon that can actually kill people, nothing but shitty lasers

#monsterdon

#monsterdon It's always best, that once you are done with your power soliloquy that you emit a teeny tiny little fart when it's all done. Poot.

#Monsterdon Evil-Lyn: It should have been me. I did most of the work!

Skeletor now guards the Soul stone. #Monsterdon

I am more than LIFE

I .. AM... DISCO

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

New fit!

#mastersoftheuniverse #monsterdon

Gwildor about to save the day with the greatest weapon of all… synth jazz!

Play some Herbie Hancock Headhunters, Gwildor!

#monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse

PEOPLE OF ETERNIA,

Yes that's right all 12 of you

#Monsterdon

Skeletor is soooooo into He-man being tortured. He's shivering with anticipation.
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

@plaidtron3000 Maybe he's supposed to be the evil version of man-at-arms?

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

@lorgonumputz Directors Cut #monsterdon

It's a good thing the cosmic key uses a twelve-tone system just like western music

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon fuck yeah Skeletor ride that floaty throne like a king!

Is there going to be a green tiger at some point?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon If we make the force lightning purple, George can't sue us!

Gwildor’s classic catchphrase, “Aagh!” #monsterdon

"He's behind us isn't he."
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

#monsterdon He can hardly aim all movie but is like 8/10 while flying a hoverboard at 40mph

Oh yeah, the old dead mom trick.

#monsterdon

Naturally He-Man only kills the faceless goons, leaving the more expensive toys standing

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

#monsterdon Really looking forward to seeing them feature Fisto. “He-Man, I couldn't fist them all!” But he'll try, and everyone will have huge smiles on their faces.
