The string showing was intentional. Nice.
Where's your atomic ray now? #Monsterdon
But you've got its vulnerable impenetrable armor plates exposed now is the time to blast it?

America: "we're sending over to you our newest weapons!"
Japan: "Thanks, but we're good."
#monsterdon I gotta be honest, I didn't expect Mothra to be a gross larva for most of the movie, I can't blame everyone for bombing her to hell
I guess you're not gonna call Ghostbusters now...
Mothra went from egg to cocoon in like 30 minutes. I'm sure it doesn't have long.

To make the wings flap more realistically, the Mothra models were suspended on wires from an overhead motorized brace that would open and close.
The wires were attached at the center of the wings, allowing the wings to flap at the edges.
Yeah, mothra, I had to rescue a monarch from doing that on our watermelon plant this summer.
I do love Mothra
#monsterdon
Wheeeeeee down comes the tower!
Is Mothra going to metamorphose hanging from Tokyo Tower like a giant Monarch butterfly?
@socketwench yeah true
I suppose we can always riff off the characters making terrible decisions and such but there's a certain underlying respect
Ah yes the mothra creamy shower
ATOMIC TYPHOON WING POWERS, ACTIVATE
#monsterdon terdon
Guess who's back!! #Monsterdon #Mothra πͺ°π₯
Those are some slow ass rockets
Is Mothra looking to cocoon on wrong Eiffel Tower?
Mothra used Gust! #Monsterdon
Here she comes, with her big wing wind! #Monsterdon
@blogdiva I especially liked when the cute tanks had to turn around and run away quickly.
#monsterdon I still can't help wondering what it was like for the fairies to be bouncing around in the briefcase.
How are they even still alive?
22 hundred hours 15 minutes. Mothra has reached Tokyo Tower. I have finished my muffin.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
IshirΕ Honda watching King Kong climbing the Empire State Building: "write that down, write that down!!"
Mothra will blow you away!
Oh shit. Now Y'all are in it. #Monsterdon #Mothra
you know, you didn't need to be all in the fairies' faces about the death of mothra
Momthra! #Monsterdon

Self congratulatory villain laughter, with extra hubris. To make the next scene extra satisfying. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

I just this minute thought to wonder if Empress Bulblax is a Mothrapillar homage #Monsterdon
oh no not the Eiffel Tower!
There are the wings. And big, wind creating wings they are. π

He may be evil, but that red vest looks sharp! #Monsterdon
there's nothing to stop us from showing our weird little vaudeville act!
@davesdogmaggie That atomic heatray definitely should exist now. We were robbed. #Monsterdon #Mothra πͺ°π₯
Making these scenes must've been fun what with all the toy tanks and helicopters and Smol Destruction #Monsterdon
Peeekabooooo
I study nuclear science, I love my classes. I've got a crazy general who wears dark glasses. Things are going great, and they're only getting better...
LANDMARK ALERT
Woof, goin' up like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. #Monsterdon
Are they trying to roast the giant peanut? #mothra1961 #Monsterdon
Mothra has just arrived at the fireworks factory in my version. But it's yet at the tower.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
@arrjay the heat is stored in the balls
That burning cocoon odor, smiles like....victory. #Monsterdon
"mission accomplished"
Note how much damage is being done to the city by Mothra vs how much is being done by the military
and compare to last week
City of Townsville in flames. #Monsterdon
It's Clobberin' Time!
Ohoho the cute little tanks

Typical teenager. Get mad and strike out. Then cocoon yourself away.
ouch, macrowaved in the balls.
model day-for-night requires using a tiny sun
They got that tech from the spy sent to live inside Godzilla's mouth. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962
what if they're just making mothra more cozy in there?
Mothra Larval Form uses Dig. Itβs Supereffective
Mothra: "I may have been born at night but I wasn't born last n-... oh ... " #Monsterdon #Mothra πͺ°π₯
Mothra wants the girls, but Mothra gonna smash up Tokyo Tower just to spite you!
What could this caterpillar named Mothra be doing creating a cocoon?
Very exciting countdown.
I mean, direct hits from battleship destroying depth charges had no effect, but sure, roll out the tanks I guess.
Nice.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
Good thing all those public clocks remained unpulverized by giant monsters. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962
ATTENTION PLEASE
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
THE COCOON AREA IS FOR MOTHRA UNLOADING ONLY
And mazers! #Monsterdon #Mothra
@GeoffWozniak #Monsterdon can have a bunch of miniatures. As a treat, for sitting through all the establishment :ablobfoxbongo:
Toy tanks. #Monsterdon
I believe "Mothra Attacks with Silk" was the title of her 80s R&B ballads compilation
I swear I just saw two tanks abruptly freeze in place
oh, isn't that the Brown Note device?
THERE'S the peanut :D #Monsterdon
We're gonna need all the napthalene in the empire. #Monsterdon
@cocaine_owlbear When I hear his name, I keep thinking of Evangelion, too.
Oh who was that Mermaid?

This is fun, but I gotta say, there is something more dramatic about a monster stomping on a building vs crawling across it.
#monsterdon Some of the voice actors are not fantastic at doing a Japanese accent.
Most of them are fine. But a few of them sound they're about to tell a racist joke.
EGG 2
Forbidden peanut! #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962
Do you have anything to declare? Fruits, vegetables, electronics, small women? #mothra1961 #Monsterdon
Did they just chroma-key a random shot of guys yelling in the street?
Mothra is the honey badger of monsters. Mothra dont care! Mothra don't give a fuck about your tanks and missiles!
And the priest behind Nelson is carrying blood diamonds, right? #Monsterdon
Gorgeous models. #Monsterdon
Now it's time for Mothra to hide in the sewers and lay 100 eggs in a stadium. #monsterdon
bwahahhahahahaha at the plastic army man in a plastic tank trundling along
#Monsterdon
Appreciate the early... I guess it's not even blue screening, It's just compositing for the crowds in the street. #Monsterdon #Mothra
Also, because I haven't seen anyone else reference it yet⦠I wonder if Eric Carle likes this movie.
Is it just me, or might it have been better strategy to just screw around in the ocean eating radioactive krill until just before cocoon time, instead of all the overland rampaging with the bombs and rockets and whatnot? #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962
#monsterdon "Oh no! That's Tokyo Tower, it's going to destroy it" /Larval Mothra starts humping the tower...
#monsterdon ooh those are some NICE fire engines
