"At the centre of the Universe"

Genuinely interested if that's even a thing, Space is weird

#monsterdon

@sean Pachabel's Synth Canon when?

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Cannon films t was a nostalgia buzz

#monsterdon

@RamenCatholic You are right. This was pitch-perfect terrible. Watchable. Laughable. And good pace of crap-per-minute so one can toot all the snark. On the nose for #monsterdon

Can't get over the hoverboard. Weee! #monsterdon

We were robbed! No battle cat. No orko. No Prince Adam. And we had to wait to the very end for the catch phrase!

I did have a ton of fun watching it as an adult and referencing all of the other movies that came before and after. I never watched this as a child, but I doubt I would have enjoyed it as much. I feel my life is complete now that I've seen Dolph Lungren parade around in his underwear. 😂

#mastersoftheuniverse #Monsterdon

and belatedly thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

@RamenCatholic 100% agree, this was awesome.

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

When this came out I was too old for the cartoon series. But today, I found the film to be a hilarious, if clunky, genre explosion. I suspect I’d have eaten it up as a preteen. For tonight, it was a lovely palate cleanser. Thanks, @Taweret and company.
#Monsterdon

@apLundell Yes, it's senseless that the "good guys" "guard the secrets of Castle Greyskull" and the sword call is "By the powers of Greyskull", this is some necromancy. #AreWeTheBaddies #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

@Taweret @Cherizilla While I have your attention...

I mentioned this before the show, but in case you missed it, you really should watch this. It's an Internet classic, and it's required viewing if you want to be my friend.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon to anyone still running behind me: the post-credit scene is totally worth it, you guys.

Would a stranger on the internet lie to you?

@bunnyhero @Taweret I must admit I'm intrigued by Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn

#Monsterdon

Next week's #monsterdon is a double feature of Boxing Helena and Videodrome. Because fuck you that's why. You must be punished.

For a live-action cartoon & toy franchise movie, it isn't too bad.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse(1987)

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this derivative debacle! Loved it!

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: Armor: Sexy But ineffective.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: So many times Alert Viewers caught the same thing and responded with identical snark. This is peak cinematic quantum entanglement!

🚨 Reminder: There is Monsterdon Gear here!:
https://thediremushrump.threadless.com/designs/monsterdon-doodles-color/home/throw-pillow

shirts, pillows, hoodies, mouse pads, more!

Now my chief concern is whether #monsterdon will earn top place as trending hashtag by the morning

She sleeps in that?

#monsterdon

If you don't know the old cartoon, imagine hearing "there's a He-Man movie" and you expect this

https://youtu.be/7yeA7a0uS3A

And then you watch it and get... that movie

#Monsterdon

@paco when it comes to Dolph I kind of imagine "Trainer" as more of like training a puppy rather than like a personal trainer in the gym #Monsterdon

Sorry BRB, preheating...

@gnomon

I liked his float and costume changes best, and the props second best.

Third best I liked the inexplicable random sexual tension.

I did not like the gill slits or the plastic face make up.

And I wanted more sword fights.

#monsterdon

@Taweret @Cherizilla Oh, wait. What's that Skeletor? You'll be back?

...

...

When?

#Monsterdon

Plex is currently pointing me toward The Star Wars Holiday Special in the rotation of suggested watches

no, no, totally different kind of movie

#Monsterdon

Kill him, He-Man!

#monsterdon

@steggy it was cute #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

For some random, completely unrelated reason, I felt a need to look up the Evil Overlord list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_lord#Evil_Overlord_List

The moral of the story is that a thing can be loud and colorful and bland all at the same time and that's the way lots of people like it #monsterdon

Yay! Skeletor lives! He just needs a new outfit.
#Monsterdon

Twenty five years
And my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hoooooPE
For a destination

#monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse1987

TWENTY FIVE YEARS AND MY LIFE IS STILLLLL TRYING TO GET UP THAT GREAT BIG HILL OF HOOOOPPPPEEE

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse1987

@liferstate the Timeline is safe #monsterdon

I'LL BE BACK

Haha oh Skeletor, you were the best of us

#Monsterdon

Interestingly, shotgun blasts don’t seem to induce sparks in the armor.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse1987

Post-credit scene! #monsterdon #mastersoftheuniverse

"I could send you back in time..."

"No, that's ok. There's no tragedy in my recent past that I feel constant crippling guilt over. Nothing that I think of every day and wish I could go back and change."

Jeez.

Good thing Gwildor was just messing with her and had already set the time coordinates or whatever.

#monsterdon

yeaaaaaahhhhhh

na y'wont

xD

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

#Monsterdon I think everybody in 1987 wandered how it was Conan never had a crazy fight like this.
#MastersOfTheUniverse

@amyfou innit?! #monsterdon

A perfect movie for everyone trying to find the perfect synthesizer settings. #Monsterdon

That was a very sweaty toy commercial. #Monsterdon

that was a blast. good journey everyone

#monsterdon

BUT WAIT! THERE"S A POST CREDITS SCENE!
Not the first but a very early one.
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

The END!! Now I can PEE!!! #monsterdon

PIGBOY?? #monsterdon

Dolph, you don't have the power, you doofus.

#Monsterdon

Yeah, let's have a big honking time paradox to destabilize everything.

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse(1987)

Masters of the Universe: A Choose Your Own Adventure

#Monsterdon

Oh, no wonder, it was a Golan-Globus film. They did Alien from L.A. #Monsterdon

Y'ALL THERE'S AN AFTER-CREDITS STING.

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

This movie was ungood. #Monsterdon

that is not how the portal worked

anyway, ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature, #MastersOfTheUniverse, from 1987, was a camproarious adventure, pitting Dolph-Man against the evil Skeletor! We also had:

Computer. End program.

Finally! Fuck!

#monsterdon

I mean, it kinda feels like a dick move to send someone back in time against their will...

#Monsterdon

Where we're going we don't need roads. #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

oh her dad was FLYING the plane

right choice lmfao

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 💪 🪐 🌌 💀 😱

That cop did *not* earn this.

And then they commit her to the sanitarium... #monsterdon

The real story here is the redemption arc involving Detective Lubic.

#Monsterdon

THIS NIGHTGOWN IS MPAA APPROVED FOR ALL AUDIENCES #monsterdon

Dads' big "80s Serial Killer" glasses

#monsterdon

So they go to the beach and the whole family dies in a car wreck, right? #monsterdon

#monsterdon _Julie hugs Salad Dressing Covered Dolph Lundgren_

grossssss, now she has chicken grease in her hair and olive oil all over her jean jacket

Always wild to see cops before they were in full military gear

#monsterdon

RIP Palpatine.
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

So they just provided the angry cop with a young woman huh

#Monsterdon

I am so invested this so so sad
#monsterdon

The lesson about safety railings in evil lairs holds true once again.

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Lubic does not deserve arm candy #monsterdon

#Monsterdon as a bad guy, I would never have a chasm next to my throne. It's just asking for trouble!

Eternia can keep the cop, earth doesn't want him

#monsterdon

He falls down a shaft? What is he, a Jedi?

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse1987

He man seemed to enjoy watching that fall.

I feel less bad about how this show messed with me. I wasn't projecting. I got projected on. This stuff was very strange and full of random tensions never mentioned in the plot.

But I love all the props and costumes!

#monsterdon

Skeletor's gonna land right next to the emperor. They can be shaft buddies. #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Falling down chute: Star wars rip off #181 #monsterdon

"christ this guy takes forever to fall to his death"

#monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

okay I take back everything I said about not using the death pit

#monsterdon

He was in Korea and he never saw aliens in bondage gear?

#monsterdon

I bet Skeletor's toilet is golden now too #monsterdon

@allanb he said AY AV OWOWOW!!! #monsterdon

About right now, we need the He-Man theme music playing, and someone, for the love of gods, needs to say, "By the power of Grayskull. I have the power!"

#Monsterdon

I'm disappointed that the statue didn't land on anyone

#Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

"I call forth the spirits of Kieth Emerson and Rick Wakeman!" #monsterdon

Can we add electro play to the writer's fetish list?

#Monsterdon

All your fancy lasers are no match for a cliche with a pump action shot gun. #Monsterdon #MastersOfTheUniverse

Skeletor giving off Loki vibes

Or kinda Ra from Stargate

#Monsterdon

Billy Barty was everything Peter Dinklage struggles to overcome.

#monsterdon

"the loneliness of evil..."

Seems to be the case from what I can see. Cool

#monsterdon

Good thing they went to the Star Wars Empire Trooper School of Marksmanship
#monsterdon

Lol why did you put a silver pignose on your god-helmet Skeletor, you used to be cool

#Monsterdon

who is this neal guy that skeletor is obsessed with?

#monsterdon

you would think becoming one with the cosmos would've made him less petty

#monsterdon

Skeletor has become a god. He is the Master of the Universe. The set has been completely swallowed whole.
#Monsterdon #MasteroftheUniverse

oh! his HP bar refilled and he got a new form! #monsterdon

now he looks like a Power Rangers villain #Monsterdon

oh we got to "pure unstoppable power" this won't end well. #monsterdon

Skeleton: [Gives an impassioned rant about conquering the universe]
Kang: [immobilized by facial prosthetics, twitches slightly]

#Monsterdon

Skeletor deserves so much better than these horrible hench people he has been dealt.

#Monsterdon

lol, Evil Lyn remains unconvinced. #monsterdon
