Mothra literally just wanted you to leave the indigenous people the fuck alone because Mothra is the best kaiju

The End

#Monsterdon

EVERY single movie about a newspaper photographer has to end on that joke.

#monsterdon

you just wait 'till this angel gets their wings #Monsterdon @monsterdon

Lady: "if you just sent them back to their hone Mothra wouldn't have to come"

men: don't be silly we are making vtoo much money we should just imprison the smol telepaths in a Faraday cage and send soldiers to slay the Big Bug and cause immense destruction

why the hell don't they listen to the women in these movies?

do you know how many disasters could have been averted if you just LISTENED TO WOMEN?

#Monsterdon @monsterdon

i feel like those clear plastic face shields are not going to do a great job at protecting them from radiation

#Monsterdon

Thank you for getting us together for #Monsterdon @Taweret

The visuals and story were better than expected. A pretty solid "rich racist coloniser men who don't respect women ruin EVERYTHING" movie.

Shame the Powers that Be these days seem to follow it like an instruction manual rather than heed the warning.

Ah dangit I completely spaced on #monsterdon. Next time!

Thanks for joining everyone!

We'll probably do Godzilla v Mothra next? Sound good?

#Monsterdon
@monsterdon

"If you want to, come back some day!"

Not to New Kirk City, I mean Tokyo. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

#monsterdon

come back one day? yeahhhhh no

#Monsterdon @monsterdon

they have to walk like 10 miles now proportionally #monsterdon

Do they have churchbells in Japan?

Or is that something the audience would mostly know from American movies?

#monsterdon

The cross won't work, mothra is a nature spirit #monsterdon

some of these models are great

#Monsterdon

oh it's Jesus! Jesus is the answer! #monsterdon

we can't let these indigenous ppl out of the cage! they'll cause too much trouble! #monsterdon

Mothra is here to chew bubblegum and punish colonizers and she's all outta bubblegum

#Monsterdon

rip lol #monsterdon

I'm sure it's a coincidence there are so many white people in the part of Japan being attacked #monsterdon

#monsterdon well I'd like to see ol' Mothra wiggle her way out of this jam! *Mothra easily wiggles out* ah. Nevertheless,

i warned you about cocoons, bro. i told you dawg

#Monsterdon

Oh. The evil country is served by Pan-Am. Funny.

#monsterdon

okay to be fair. who could've guessed that a caterpillar in a cocoon would grow wings? #monsterdon

#monsterdon
IT's like everyone forgot how cocoons work.

there she is!!! #monsterdon

have they even tried the box yet? #monsterdon

#monsterdon gentlemen, we are all sons of bitches now

#monsterdon "A real victory for the atomic heat ray!"

Ooo, sounds like the atomic heat ray is going to make it to the playoffs.

Can't believe they invented the Havana Syndrome guns to fight moths #monsterdon

see? we won! :) #monsterdon

like a flame to a moth #Monsterdon @monsterdon

don't count so fast!

#monsterdon

@Taweret if I've learned from the last 2 years it's that closing air travel is worse than everyone dying #monsterdon

#monsterdon Mothra is blasting ropes. Repeat, Mothra is blasting ropes

i am skeptical that the airport would still be open and flights taking off during the kaiju attack

#Monsterdon

they're just letting it cocoon? do they not like, know anything about moths? #monsterdon

#monsterdon I love that they're firing what looks like IRBMs at it from point blank range

Tokyo is sooo...flammable

#Monsterdon @monsterdon

@Taweret well i don't see why we have to jump to extremes #monsterdon

oh look! we won! :)
#monsterdon

all the kaiju are horny for tokyo tower

#Monsterdon

Monsters basically keep Japan's military industrial complex alive.

#monsterdon

mothra is really fucking everything up, dude. probably should left the indigenous people alone, huh, bro?

#Monsterdon

I want a caterpillar puppet with glowing eyes now too #monsterdon

#monsterdon this movie sure does get a lot of mileage out of several people dramatically saying "Mothra!" in sequence

Every time someone mentions Mothra, everyone else has to shout "Oh! Mothra!" like they completely forgot that there was a monster.

#monsterdon

@Taweret oh i know! let's try nuclear! that always works! #monsterdon

im sure conventional weapons will work this time

#Monsterdon

i must not have been paying attention when whoever this kid is was established but he rules #monsterdon

oh i fuckin hate it when my baby falls off the back of my cart on top of a bursting dam, it sucks #monsterdon

someone should just go kick the rich guy in the dick and make him give the fairies back

#Monsterdon

That's a nice model.
#monsterdon

oh look, a dam. this should be fine #monsterdon

#monsterdon
Sure. That's how moths work.

"if he hadn't kidnapped those girls mothra wouldn't have to come here" sounds like some mothraist propaganda 🙄 #monsterdon

Step 2: put the girls in a box
#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Sure, I'm sure Mothra won't have any problems with the girls' brain-waves suddenly going silent. It won't be alarmed by that at all.

#monsterdon
They got the girls nice costume, though.

You think they're barbie scale? That would have saved a lot of time.

#monsterdon "we've done nothing wrong," says man currently managing a stage show starring slaves

#monsterdon
"They're not doing anything wrong."

It's true. Thanks to a legal technicality, enslaving islander girls and forcing them to perform in a stage show is only a crime if the girls are taller than a foot.

when the chickens come home to roost at the colonizers I simply pog out me gourd #monsterdon

do moths work underwater? #monsterdon

CC @monsterdon #Monsterdon

mothra has come to wreck your shit because you wouldn't leave the indigenous people alone

#Monsterdon

just say Kaiju #monsterdon

I warned you about taking those fairies, bro. i told you, dawg

#Monsterdon

a guilded cage is still a cage #Monsterdon @monsterdon

honestly the dubbing Is pretty good and thankfully they didn't do Japanese accents #Monsterdon

The audience in this show can't see ANYTHING.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon ah, the anti-radiation juice

the brownface in this movie, is not good #Monsterdon

#monsterdon but doesn't it present certain difficulties to show off something really tiny in a theater? It's fine, we'll just have them sing a song that probably translates to "Mothra is coming to kick all y'all's asses"

the mothra song slaps tho

#Monsterdon

why does this guy sound like he is maybe from Transylvania? Dies he have that accent in the Japanese version too?

#Monsterdon @monsterdon

uh.. you should probably not let your tiny prisoners sing their special Kaiju Summoning song

#Monsterdon

Nothing went wrong when that guy in America did his stage show about the gorilla, I'll do it too with my island cryptids #monsterdon

#monsterdon whether you got a really big ape, or two really tiny girls, clearly the best course of action is to show them off in a theater

i hope capturing and displaying these tiny women doesn't somehow piss off a giant moth

#Monsterdon

That big auditorium might not be the right venue to show off a pair of girls 10 inches tall.

#monsterdon

all of us felt. it was best to leave them as they were. #monsterdon

Newspaper editors are always so angry in movies.

I wonder if that's realistic.

#monsterdon

Their flags only show up in certain shots.

Magic flags.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon

So the tiny girls are attracted to the sound of fire alarms?

they really took the discovery of very tiny people in stride, didn't they?

#Monsterdon

if your scientific expeditions don't start and end with bands playing marching music, what are you even doing?

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon This is probably a dumb question, but what's that flag that some of the soldiers are wearing?

#monsterdon or maybe Alien

#monsterdon urotsukidoji prequel?

#monsterdon

"Vampire plant" he says, as though that explains something.

@apLundell that's the sound of Science #Monsterdon

oh this island has pussy???? #monsterdon

The Shobijin are here

finally

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon What are the red buttons on their shoulders?

Is that what's making the noise?

aw hell yeah it's the mothra twins #monsterdon

#monsterdon

It makes total sense that you would give the comedy relief reporter guy a rifle.

this cave is amazingly well lit

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon what is the name of this fictional country? It seems pretty unquestionably America but also the flag has a crescent and star?

ah yes, radioactivity, famous for maintaining a particular location, especially in water #monsterdon

i feel like once we get to Mysterious Radiation Island, these interpersonal conflicts will become irrelevant

#Monsterdon

@georgespolitzer I'm using the hashtag so ppl can filter it easily #monsterdon
