COME BACK HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

that wasn't #Mothra in the water just yet. that was Caterpie

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

and just like that, neocolonialism has been defeated if but for a day.

thanks @Taweret@octodon.social and @cheribaker for another wonderful #Monsterdon and #MonsterdonBingo

this made my #COVID19 isolation a bit better

and now for the interpretative dance portion of the segment
#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

No Mothra yet, just Caterpie vibing while leaving a trail of destruction on its road to meet the Pixies

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Counting the evacuation of the dam and calling my #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon

tired: Golden Showers

wired: Caterpie Shooting its wad at the moon

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon #GenX #rock

OBLIGATORY close up of baby crying just in time for the annoying chubby guy to save them

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

🦋 Metamorphic Trivia 🦋

Originally Mothra was going to create a cocoon on the Diet building. But the brand spanking new Tokyo Tower was much too tempting to resist.

#Monsterdon

the RC tanks are adorable

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

🦋 Metamorphic Trivia 🦋

Mothra destroys 3 neighborhoods. They were created at 1/20 scale to be *identical* to the real buildings on a huge set.

The production staff was excited to build and destroy the miniature Tokyo Tower. The real one had only been built 3 years earlier.

#Monsterdon

evil Mr. Nelson must be destroyed. for the culture

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

“My girls don’t speak a word of Japanese anyhow.”

But I heard them singing in Japanese…

#Monsterdon #Mothra

uh-oh... they've awakened the Egg

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

this movie is Orientalism but in reverse.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

We have faerie sign!

#Monsterdon

girls, stop talking and run the fuck out of there!

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Oh, the huge-mothity!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

This really is some of the best miniature work we've seen in one of these. Those rocket launchers are THE S**T. It's too bad it's so dark. #Monsterdon #Mothra

look, if you're a kaiju visiting tokyo, you gotta fuck up tokyo tower. its like if you're human and you visit LA, you take your pic in front of hollywood sign. its just a thing you gotta do while you're there

#monsterdon

am sorry, that fairy stage coach is kinda freaky

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

the bad guy in this movie looks like a young Singaporean version of Randall Duk Kim, the actor that played Po's dad in Kung Fu Panda.

i hate this guy.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Do you think the Mothra girls are like "You want a show. Fine we'll give you a show" *sing a song that's basically 'Mothra come quick and kill everyone'* "There. There's your show." #Monsterdon #Mothra

moZOOlaYA!
moZOOlaYA!
#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

These fairies transfixed me when I was a kid. Their song just stuck in my head.

#Monsterdon 🦋 #Mothra

"And now we will sing our song to our giant moth god who is now going to come and destroy your entire culture! Enjoy!" #Monsterdon

so protip, if you kidnap fairies, you should probably try to prevent them from singing their special kaiju summmoning song

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

They did not pay the mouse enough for his contribution to this movie. I’m sure of it.
#Monsterdon

Thanks to @Taweret for an entertaining monster flick (and commentary)!

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something in those extra ten minutes made the film better. May have to run 'em side by side to see what made the difference.

#Monsterdon

fucked off over the sea

#monsterdon

and so Mothra fucked off to her island and all was well until the next movie

ty for joining, everyone!!

#monsterdon

why are they in some European country?!?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

There must be an overlap between model railroad enthusiasts and kaiju movie fans. #monsterdon.

Atomic heat gun? ...Is this the first MAZER? #Monsterdon

nice model work. this is all really well shot

#monsterdon

Mothra is doing the… butterfly stroke. #Monsterdon

Some cinematographer has got to be deliriously happy about that mist rainbow in that shot. And well deserved. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Wow, you gotta admit that the cinematography in this movie is gorgeous.

#monsterdon

Caterpie getting fatter as it gets closer to shore. must be eating up a lot of seaweed... or retaining water.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

...a faerieday cage #monsterdon #ugh

PAPERSLAP #monsterdon

If you kidnap native people and make them perform for you and what they perform brings down a destructive force of nature on you, that’s your own fault. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Oh yeah the Mothra in this movie is the largest incarnation of Mothra. And the largest kaiju in the Showa era period.

#monsterdon You don't really need notes from other expeditions to translate that symbol, just ask Kurt Vonnegut

song is a banger tho

#monsterdon

Translation:

🎵“Hello my honey, hello my darling…” 🎵

#Monsterdon

🐛🥚👀

#Monsterdon

This was back when you had to decipher kaiju names from mysterious jungle writings, they hadn’t yet established the Kaiju Naming Authority. #Monsterdon #Mothra

it's Pix Pix Pixies of the Jungle.
WAAAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAAH

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

i think i saw a remake of this movie when i was on my TOHOpalooza bindgeathon

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

who is the creepy guy with the weird teeth the gun and that wonky eye?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

"And like the guillotine, you don't always know when your picture has been taken." -- #Monsterdon

I don't think she knows what a guillotine is. It's not really a subtle device.

Hello Doctor.

#MONSTERDON

Like this bit. Some good mouse comedy. A great rodent actor at the peak of his craft.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

"...it was the red juice!"
"red juice?"
<crashing sound as a wall explodes, and a large figure jumps through yelling>
"OHHH YEAHHH!"

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Proper mask safety is important. Don't want to catch any radiation.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Those poor women had so far to run on the airport strip. Give them a golf cart or something. Door to door service. In the theater they had a golden chariot; put some wheels on that shit. #Monsterdon

i love how they smile and wave and say sayonara even in this one where mothra destroyed a lot of things. night everyone! #Monsterdon

@webbj feel free to join us, Sunday nights at 8pm US Central Time! Is fun! #Monsterdon

We even end on a gag. Everyone laughed.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Another #Monsterdon is in the can!

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting!

Tonight's feature returned us to the wonderful world of kaiju. We had:

* Shobijin that speak in theremin!
* Guillotine cameras!
* Mold Mutations!
* Some really amazing miniatures! The little cars, trucks, and tanks were exquisite!
* Nowhere near enough Mothra!

#Mothra

and off she goes!

SAYONARA!!!

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

That was fun, and oh man that model work was 💯 . See y’all next week! #Monsterdon #Mothra

Remember kids, don't test nuclear weapons on indigenous land. #MONSTERDON

That was _quality_ :D

#monsterdon #mothra

we have completely sensible plot with satisfying, non-rushed ending, and a prosocial moral of the story to not do colonialism, am i even watching a #monsterdon movie

Plot twist...the monster fucked off into the sky #Monsterdon

TIL about the #monsterdon tag. #Mothra (1961) was one of my very favorite movies as a kid in the '80s.
❤️👯‍♀️❤️🥚❤️🐛❤️🦋❤️

"If you want to come back some day..."

Yeah, Mothra only killed a couple thousand people. Small price to pay for a visit from a friend <3 #Monsterdon

Momthra, you are cleared to taxi on runway 1, OH GOD NO AAAAUGH #Monsterdon

RIP Nelson.If only he hadn't fled to Rolicica where every citizen carries a gun.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

all those nazis needed jobs after war, i guess.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

escape from new kirk #monsterdon

The slowly unfolding moth wings is really cool.
Less cool all the hurricane force winds wrecking the city even more.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon Oh, hey, those AA guns in New Kirk City are triple mounted Type 96 25 mm ones...

🦋 Metamorphic Trivia 🦋

Mothra's detailed compound eyes were constructed from plastic with electrical lights inside. To perfect the look, countless round dents were poked into the soft hardening plastic.
