Heck yeah Mothra! Make Tokyo pay for its celebration of fairy trafficking! #Monsterdon

I also love it when there's a white actor who speaks very natural-sounding Japanese.

I guess I just like cultural exchange in all its forms 🤷 (assuming that actor is not Japanese which feels like a gimme for 1961)

The Mothra larva's face was covered with barnacles and rattan to make it more organic.

@diazona must be that wave-particle duality i keep hearing about #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

whup

stagehand left a cleaning rag in the model

o noes

#monsterdon #mothradon

the model tanks! the model planes!

this movie is A++ would watch again models

#monsterdon

Mothra like, "Ugh, there is SO MUCH SHIT in this city, I'm doing you a FAVOR by clearing it out." #Monsterdon

*larval Mothra proceeds towards Tokyo across land, undeterred and unslowed by aerial bombardment, devouring every wool sweater in her path*

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

caterpillar mothra squishes by wriggling on things

Like, he took down 5 dudes. This man was bested by a mouse 20 minutes ago. I assume the mouse is still besting him #monsterdon

Man, after all that rebuilding after Gojira.

Also, those are the most adorable toy tanks.

#Monsterdon

"Mothra" Appears in Tokyo.

Nice sarcasm, newspaper.
#Monsterdon

Love how they bombard with obviously ineffective weapons but keep on trying, THIS is the barrage that's gonna do something.

#Monsterdon

This reporter is a total package.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

haha YES it is _now_ complete flee circus.

#monsterdon

I want one of those three-wheeler trucks. They're adorable. #Monsterdon

@Binder To be fair I think "there is a giant hole in the dam" doesn't really need an inspection

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Someone walked with rhythm! #mothra1961 #Monsterdon

Fukuda-saaaaan saving the baby uwaaaa :blobfoxpleading:

#Monsterdon

I love the mothra caterpillar face with the little glowy eyes. Definitely a cutie.
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

Oh no! They left the baby on the middle of the bridge as the flood is coming. Who's going to save them? No really is #Godzilla showing up? #Monsterdon #Mothra

How did Mothra get *upstream* of the dam with no one noticing?

Either way, this is one way to remove a dam. Much less hassle than all the usual environmental assessment bureaucracy.

#monsterdon

YES. destroy the Mobil Gas station.

#monsterdon

Whoopsie doodle! Ya dropped yer baby! #Monsterdon

The toy planes and their little toy missiles are my happy place. #Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Mothra's real plan is to corner the silk market. They must bow to his demands.

Infrastructure Week, #Mothradon style

#Monsterdon

@pngwen Well done! You are now able to use this swell mockup of Mothra in a festive hat! #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

The Bulldog is goin rabid #Monsterdon

NOW ON THE HORIZON

ACTUAL CATERPILLAR, NOT YET A MOTH

#monsterdon

"Promotional consideration from Bireley's and Mobilgas"

#Monsterdon

I dunno why but Nelson yelling at the telephone about his faerie exhibition show being cancelled is extremely funny to me.

#monsterdon

Every dam scene reminds me of Superman: The Movie.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

Have you considered firing moth balls at it? #Monsterdon

@pngwen congrats! 🎉

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

MOTHRA SMASH

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

That doesn't block their telepathy, it's just dim enough that the fairies think it’s night time & go to sleep. #Monsterdon

Nelson, you fool! You removed the telepathy barrier just to taunt the Shobijin? They'll contact Mothra!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

No no....it matters.

#Monsterdon

If Mothra comes there will be no "letting" involved

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

hahahahaha you didnt make the box sound proof you creeper goons
#Monsterdon

I blinked and somehow there was a baby on top of the collapsing dam. #Monsterdon #mothra

shinji get in the chicken

#monsterdon

A kaiju film made by Zucker/Abrahms/Zucker about a giant San Diego chicken.....#monsterdon

I'm gonna count confidently and incorrectly explaining that Mothra is dead as "Monstersplaining" for bingo purposes

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

"nihon no keisatsu wa hidoizou"

well, this doesn't contradict what I've heard, especially where a foreigner is concerned…

#Monsterdon

Me trying to get my gf to #Monsterdon

ladies and gentlemen, the republican party

#monsterdon #mothradon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

hidden in the chicken! well done small dude!

poor guy, he will never see his flirtation with the daifuku lady fulfilled.

#monsterdon

Superb food based physical comedy, lads. Way to lighten the impending doom's mood. #Monsterdon

Surprise! the object we've been tracking this whole time arrived unexpectedly!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

[MEN YELLING] #monsterdon

"The Japanese Police are cruel"

same the world over Nelson

#Monsterdon

I bet that kid is a friend of Gamera's too #Monsterdon

Whoops, stealth mission fail. #Monsterdon

Don’t choke dude!

[eating daifuku in terror]

#Monsterdon

the #Monsterdon feed is fucking hilarious even without watching the movie

Earnest mouse child doin' a rescue! #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

Oh great, the fairies have gone viral. Now everybody is summoning Mothra. #Monsterdon

Wow, they can just invent a mesh that blocks telepathy now?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon bye bye bb bye bye

lol, comedy bao bun

#Monsterdon

curses

foiled again!

#monsterdon #mothradon

Tokka is probably my favorite snapping turtle but Zen is alright

#Monsterdon

NO ONE SUSPECTS THE CHICKEN!

#monsterdon

How can anyone even see him? Doesn't he just blend in with the wallpaper?

#monsterdon #mothra

#monsterdon That's not Mothra! That's Shai Hu'lud! Kinda having a bad day, with the ocean on fire and all. Sand would be better.

"We better find that kid!"

Japanese children are notoriously impossible to keep out of places, you might as well just give up. #Monsterdon

These model effects look amazing any scene that doesn't involve a building. I don't know why, the buildings break the illusion for me. #monsterdon

How exactly did Mothra get *upstream* of this dam by swimming 🤔

#monsterdon

Also these explosions are pathetic

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

the fondant dam has fallen!

#monsterdon #mothradon

@SnoopJ yup definitely

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Ah yes, the obligatory baby imperiled trope.

#Monsterdon

INCONVENIENT BABY

#monsterdon

Terrible idea: a machine hooked up to an RSS reader that prints out the titles (and a QR code linking to the post) on a long long roll of skinny paper tape

#Monsterdon

Level bombing lives down to its reputation

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@saucerlost/115919488467127285

The money that could’ve gone for the set was used for Tiny Twins costumes instead #Monsterdon

Just gonna keep my baby in a basket in the back of my truck. Because it's 1962 and child safety won't be invented for another 20 years. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

HulkBusters '62 #Monsterdon

They didn't have that baby secured worth a damn. #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

Of course there's a baby. #Monsterdon #Mothra

uh you missed

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Damn Rolisicans! Can't we deport these MFers?
*Siad in Japanese*

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Team Journalism and Team Science have now combined into Team Ethics and are trying to rescue the faeries to stop a kaiju attack. Naturally the faeries are kept as prisoner beyond a college staircase and protected by goons trained in fisticuffsmanship. But the journalists have better fisticuffsmanship and so defeat them and communicate with the faeries who are like "i dunno we can't do anything i think ur fucked"

#monsterdon

Who leaves a baby on a bridge when running from a monster? WTF
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

Those are F-86 Sabres! Neato. #monsterdonaviation

#monsterdon

Not a bad dam disaster scene, actually. Usually here on #Monsterdon the dams we get are more like darns.

oh yes, a dam failure is totally something you can just walk away from, uhuh

#monsterdon

So, as a giant monster approaches, their plan is to… hide the twins.

Yes, I'm sure there's no obvious way that making the telepathic bond with the twins vanish could backfire. 🤡

#Monsterdon

Dispatch B team to film at the airport now

#Monsterdon

@Binder magic, obviously

#Monsterdon

if they can move around in that golden doohickey jail, why can’t they move it back to their island?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

No, not the babies!

#Monsterdon

Broad safety tip: When there's trouble with a dam, go away from the dam. #monsterdon
