We've tried not releasing the fairies and we are all out of ideas!
#monsterdon

Well yes, putting them in a box made from that synthetic material would cut the fairies off from Mothra. Because they'd suffocate and die. #monsterdon

A Faraday cage for fairies? Fairieday cage? #Monsterdon

Mosura? Ain't that that trendy houseplant with holes in the leaves?

#Monsterdon

Don't fool with Mother Nature and don't fuck with Mothra!

#monsterdon

kankei nai.

ass.

#monsterdon

Mothra be like "Fuck this ship in particular!"

#monsterdon #mothra

They think a faraday cage will stop Mothra. But they don't know she can use the last known signal. She's MOTHRA m'fers.

#Mothra

#monsterdon Maybe you could try some alternate language tracks, like this... Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn. I mean, south pacific, island, drives men maaaaaad. Tentacle porn, check... glorp glrop flap flap.

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

I'm glad they all missed but someone needs to get punched if I'm gonna get my #monsterdonBingo

The models are breaking and I am here for it. #Monsterdon

sorry guys, sucks to be you.

#monsterdon

Larvaeru!!!
#Monsterdon

now, if this was a more modern movie, they'd attempt to microwave the fairies, you cannot deny it

#monsterdon

...Radio waves, just like brainwaves.

Huh.

No.

#Monsterdon

“Nothing can stop her now.” Showtime-gotta go. #Monsterdon

Mothra smash!

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

Hard to port. Harder to port! #Monsterdon

Filmmaking had to relearn forced perspective after the CGI interregnum, you know. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe yay
#Monsterdon #Mothra

This must be the Shobijin song of preemptive mourning for your enemies.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Feels like we're still in Act One, but at least Mothra's a comin' #Monsterdon

#monsterdon ok but where are the fairies getting several sets of tiny, elaborate, matching costumes

@neia Not at all. But it seems like sending an elephant to try to find a couple ants.
#monsterdon

Now we will go sing the song of warning, which for some reason makes people cheer. #Monsterdon

🎵 Mothra is coming to town 🎵
#monsterdon

and now the fairies take their carriage back to Never-Never Land to avoid the carnage Mothra will bring to Tokyo

#monsterdon #mothradon

I mean, return them to their home?

#Monsterdon

zenichiro's fighting style is like drunken boxing but completely sober

#monsterdon

"Nope, you're fucked. Sorry champ. Good luck, Faeries OUT" #Monsterdon

Is this the Pacific Princess? #Monsterdon

The subtitles for the song disappeared 😅

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"What's a Mothra?"

My dude. They're singing about it through your whole friggin minstral show were you not even curious?? Geeeeez! #Monsterdon

cos that is how radio works you utter sponge cake
#Monsterdon

you see, he learned to fight dirty in journalism school

#monsterdon

Don't steal faerie twins from radioactive islands.

I mean, do you want Motheras? Because that's how you get Motheras.
#Monsterdon

ship goes *moooooooo*

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

mothra is on the way. she's gonna fuck you up

#monsterdon

Toy boat. #Monsterdon

@paco proportionate response (American)

#Monsterdon

Slapstick beating. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #Mothra

One ship down. Now we're getting some kaiju action!

y'know, gotta hand it to semi-comic-relief reporter guy

he can handle himself in a fight

#monsterdon #mothradon

This is not how to seal the Honmoon

#Monsterdon

Wow. Slapped him with paper. #mothra1961 #Monsterdon

The tiny women are sporting new and even better outfits. 10/10
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

@TerryHancock the reality of a finite budget (of this era) is that you can't front-load all the kaiju-ing, or you won't have anything left to escalate to!

#Monsterdon

@arrjay Well that man is definitely getting squashed

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

"the thing is, you have no proof. Now leave me alone!" <-- how I will now answer all student queries.

(Slapped by a piece of paper)
I'm dead, OMG, I'm dead!
#monsterdon

The drinking is helping, btw 🍻 #Monsterdon #Mothra

@paco@infosec.exchange Are you suggesting Mothra could be in the wrong? ​:floofAngry:​

#Monsterdon #Mothra

ONE MAN

STANDS BETWEEN MOTHRA AND TOKYO

#monsterdon

This building looks remarkably municipal. #monsterdon

@log @paco Now picturing Mothra with a ten-(thousand-)gallon hat

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

It's dinosaur-like. It's dinosaur-like? In what way is Mothra dinosaur-like? #Monsterdon

"Oh no that big round rock is cracking!"

Puts finger to ear piece.

"What?"

"Oh. Fuuu"

#monsterdon

mothra needs a bath before flying

#monsterdon

The power of the press!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Caterpillar emerges.

Kind of a slow burn, this movie, huh?

They are going to have an encounter with the VERY hungry caterpillar. #Monsterdon

She is so worth the wait.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

In the mothra cannon do they hatch a new mortars every time something goes wrong and they need one?

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

Mosura got hatched out of a giant i.e. bird egg; and appeared with caterpillar face. She's gonna haveta metamorphosize offscreen after swimming through the ocean I guess?

@wohali same. I think the dubbed version had some scenes cut #Monsterdon

Well, Nelson, you really put your foot.in it this time.
#Monsterdon

What an adorable monstrosity. #Monsterdon

A giant monster attack Tokyo!? Preposterous! #Monsterdon #Mothra

The 6" girls "don't speak a word of Japanese", but somehow can be convinced to sing and dance on cue?

Also, they don't speak Japanese but these dubbed people are speaking to them in English?

Oh wait, now they DO understand Japanese/English through telepathy!
#monsterdon

she H A T C H

#Monsterdon

This god is why no one on this island can wear a sweater. #Monsterdon

Two words: Bug zapper. #Monsterdon

I'm gonna get my SINK together, gonna DROWN like this for-e-ev-era

#monsterdon #mothradon

Big dance number is very 60s. It's a musical! #Monsterdon

this Mothra comes with built-in underwater lighting.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon BONK

a whole starfield of special effects and they let _three_ blink.

and they all blink at once.

c'mon team what

#monsterdon #mothradon

Mothra wakes up to tell them to cut out all this racket. #Monsterdon

Mothra, it's a Moth, but Ra #Monsterdon

Oh crap, I had a whole "And a young Stanley Kubrick had an idea…" joke for when the twins first showed up and I forgot it.

Oh well. Win some, lose some I guess.
#Monsterdon

@paco Those islanders must have gotten American-flavored radiation from the bomb tests. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Go Mothra! Arise!!!

Admiral Ackbar says:

"It's a trap!"

#monsterdon

Mothra's just fucking shit up on the way to save the tiny women because, why not?
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

@wohali dub or sub? the dub is shorter #monsterdon

I'm sure it looked like the largest seal in existence.

#Monsterdon

so you admit you're keeping slaves, Nelson?

#monsterdon

Innocent people will suffer? Merely being in the same city as Mothra is guilt enough, for Mothra can do nothing wrong!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

“Omar’s comin’!” was really a Mothra reference.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Heck yes!! #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

Sorry that our guardian is gonna fuck up your country but, like, you caused this. #Monsterdon

the solution here is to tie Nelson to a stake out in Tokyo Bay and leave him there for Mothra.

#monsterdon

[nervous, uncomfortable laughter]

#monsterdon #mothra

hm, think my copy must have an inserted scene or something, just got to the egg

#monsterdon

oh great the wee folks are telepathic.
the creepy salaryman is fooked now
#Monsterdon

"the press is obligated to tell the truth as we see it"

NOVEL!

I mean, of course they speak Japanese. #Monsterdon

Wow, the fairies can disassociate & put their feelings far, far away. #Monsterdon
