Bye Mothra, thanks for coming!

#Monsterdon

Meanwhile, safely home in Russamerica, Nelson and cronies hear on the radio that Mothra has been destroyed and so they take the glass box off of the faeries, who start singing the Mothra song again.

Things to do not go as planned, because then the giant burning peanut hatches, revealing Mothra in her mothiest form yet! She starts flhying away, and her flapping wings jostle all the model cars around. We deduce that she is flying toward Russamerica.

#monsterdon

Shame they couldn't keep that tiny carriage though. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

Mothra is very large. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Oh yeah, absolutely not the US despite US Route 6

#monsterdon

that's gotta be like a three mile run for those tiny women

#monsterdon

Mothra has very strategic wing beat wind, she can toss jeeps and cars around, while keeping people standing.

#monsterdon

i know i'm coming in late here, but every single thing about this is less annoying than godzilla 1998.

#monsterdon

Ok three o clock, precisely.
Ok three o clock.
Ok three o clock precisely.
#monsterdon

Oh man, back when a person could get up & walk around in flight. #Monsterdon

Uber Mothra #Monsterdon

@whiskeysailor I think they'd be more likely to team up

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

brief airplane smoking lounge interlude

#Monsterdon

Our ride is here. See ya. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

The real heroes of flick were the paint truck drivers. #Monsterdon #Mothra

BELLS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rva8XTxmbbk

TIL what the word "ecloses" means.. thanks, #Monsterdon

Yes, Mothra, destroy not-America, give the people what they want.

#monsterdon #mothra

#monsterdon lol I love that they didn't just call it "the ranch", there's also wall-to-wall chintz fabric and mooing cows

YEEEAAAH MOTHRA

#Monsterdon

@paco @cd0 #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

So many angels getting their wings.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

oh no those obviously completely empty tall brick buildings fell over in the Mothra winds!

Precisely! #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

Toy jeeps. #Monsterdon

Mothra ecloses like a boss!

#Monsterdon

Okay, Mothra is very huggable. #Monsterdon

MOTHRA MY BELOVERA #Monsterdon

oooh they really wanted to run that oceanside flood just a little longer

all those little moving cars getting carried away when the water hits

that was magnetic car movement, gotta be

#monsterdon #mothradon

Yeah, you better run!
#Monsterdon

@Mikal :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #monsterdon

Left truck or right truck?

#Monsterdon

😆😆😆😆

#Monsterdon

What did I tell you about patronizing the fairies

#Monsterdon

Mothra's cocoon looks like diplococci. #Monsterdon

"I think its hurt" YOU FOOLS. #Monsterdon

Everyone is so proud that is how you know they failed miserably #Monsterdon

They even say "boss" in English. That's how you know they're top-tier goons.

#Monsterdon

She really hates Kirk City Motors. #monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

A sign from God? Wut?

3 o'clock. Exactly. Precisely. Exactly.

#monsterdon
#Mothra

"The heat ray machine has scored a victory!" lol

#Monsterdon

@ryan @gnomon

and that nobody would be sad to see it destroyed?

#Monsterdon

Precisely. 3:00. Right on the hour. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

“If we could, it would really do the trick” #Monsterdon

"We'll run it up."

There's a Kinko's right down the street. #Monsterdon

Mothra don't care about your atomic heat beams! They just keep here toast as she awakes!

#monsterdon

Roasted peanut #Monsterdon

This movie invented a western looking country with a city of New Kirk to be destroyed? 🤦‍♂️😆

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Roasted peanut.

#monsterdon #mothra

Roasted giant peanut, coming to stores near you this summar

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Wait, did we suddenly switch into High and Low (1963)? 😉

#monsterdon

@gnomon the writers wanted an “American” city that wasn’t identifiable as a real city after just setting it in New York City was rejected, they first went for “Newark City” but someone pointed out there was a city named Newark #monsterdon

oh I forgot about THE POWER OF JESUS in this movie

#monsterdon

I really did not see Morthra being Christian coming. #monsterdon

Cool pyrotechnical. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Oops we should have lined that with a puppy pad I guess"

1000s dead, city in ruin, what can be done?
time to pray to Jesus
#monsterdon

Very important to count down to turning on the atomic heat ray because of all the intricately scheduled tasks that are happening in advance

...I said, intricately scheduled tasks happening in advance

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Car tornado!
#Monsterdon

NEITHER A BORROWER NOR A LENDER BE

#monsterdon #mothradon

A hunting rifle on the wall in the first act will be no use against singing 6" tall women in the third act.

#monsterdon

Jesus vs Mothra, just like the Bible said
#monsterdon

I love how some people are putting on protective glasses, while others are staring at it through binoculars.
#Monsterdon

mmmmm that's some good destruction

#monsterdon

I didn’t have bitch slap on my bingo card. #Monsterdon #mothra

@bstacey

I'm cuckoo for cocooned moths!

#Monsterdon

Mmmmm, roasted peanut.

#monsterdon

Wait, a second. They’re using radiation on this…presumably radiation fed kaiju?

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

Mob to the left of me, Mothra to the right, here I am...

#monsterdon

Mothra is fun because it's one of the few times the movie actually *wants* you to root for the monster. Which I usually do anyway <3 #Monsterdon

So far Mothra's main power seems to be nigh invulnerability.

#Monsterdon

Mothra looks like Mr. Peanut right now

Sans top hat & spats #Monsterdon

These miniatures are more engaging than anything ever rendered by a computer. #Monsterdon

Mothra is GIANT PEANUT leave giant peanut alone! #Monsterdon

My favourite part of these movies is how it basically ignores what is happening in everyday life.

Seems they still read the papers... #Monsterdon

Atomic heat cannon? Are you sure it's not a maser?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

There is no way to spell "cocooned" that looks right.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

wish mothra would come and blow all the cars away for good
#monsterdon

Blow those streets clean! #Monsterdon

When does Batman show up? And where the hell is Commissioner Gordon?!

#monsterdon #mothradon

Good day to stay indoors. #monsterdon

Mothra's cocoon is a giant peanut?

#monsterdon

#mothra1962
#mothradon
#monsterdon
What was that? A giant megaphone? Are they trying to wake Mothra?

That's due process for a non-white, I guess. #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

I wasn't paying attention. We're going to microwave the radiation monster?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"Atomic Heat Ray Brigade"

We all dreamt of this

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

I too would like to tear down Tokyo Tower and then cocoon for a while. Just be a cozy peanut.

#monsterdon #mothra

Atomic Heat Ray Brigade? Um, you mean they work on their tans? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh I see, we need to put the shobijin in a wicker man!

RE: https://mas.to/@flowerpot/115919568760739401

Somewhere Anish Kapoor screams yet again “It’s name is CLOUD GATE!!!!” #Monsterdon

This is Japan? That's route 6 going to Harbor Freeway?

#monsterdon

she's so fluffy!

#monsterdon

@brennen It's still going! Mothra has just coccooned in Tokyo Tower

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Nelson was gunned down in the street by milkmen. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

You're taking the wrong route!
Shut up!

<Complete silence>

These little vehicle models are cute.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

@apLundell if America were a giant doughnut (topologically speaking)

that would be yummy

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

It's Captain Nihongo Jouzu again!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

wow was he trying to steal that old guy's cane while making his exit? what an ass
#monsterdon
