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

@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

"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

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Trippy flying carriage to swimming Mothra sequence!

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

Okay, but I'm not entirely uncertain that choreography didn't have some elements of European court dancing

#Monsterdon #Mothra

#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!

#monsterdon

Clocking first monster appearance at 50% of runtime. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

@paco@infosec.exchange not proportional response but logarithmic response?​:godzilla:​

#Monsterdon #Mothra

I mean, of course they speak Japanese. #Monsterdon

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

tedepasy

#monsterdon
#mothradon

D'aaaw baby :3 #Monsterdon

aww yeah, doodled on that egg

#monsterdon

how is a moth going to come out of an egg?

#Monsterdon

I'm no scientician but don't moths emerge from cocoons, not eggs?

#Monsterdon

(me leaning over and whispering)
That's Mothra
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Infant Island is a non-stop party.

They basically just do this all day.

So is this a baby Mothra laid by the previous one? Or does Mothra just be an egg sometimes. #monsterdon

This kid is my new favorite character

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

"If you can read this Mothra is about to kill you" #Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Why not use telepathy earlier? Hmmm...

I mean - it's not like the twins didn't try to warn them.

#MonsterDon #TeamMothra

Patented Mothra butt-shimmy #Monsterdon

Dude, do NOT patronize the fairies. They will fuck you up for generations. #Monsterdon

MOTHRA

WILL SOON BE HERE

IN STEREO

#monsterdon

@sean "You throw me the egg and I'll throw you the whip!" *splat*
#Monsterdon #Mothra

could these guys be even more cravenly villainous

#Monsterdon

or telepathic, universal communicator fairies

that's more useful than THE SHOW, NELSON!

#monsterdon

Oh, AND - they're telepaths.

Don't mess with the faerie twins.

#MonsterDon

I'm amused that this scene has a random white guy as set dressing. Entirely superfluous, just wants his participation trophy ​:floofLol:​

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"Hey stop iit, stop it, you better stop it"

English speaking guy has the best lines.

#monsterdon

"Those fairies aren't human. They're merchandise."

If we take fairies as a slur this is awfully true for plenty of modern stuff too...

#Monsterdon

oo that's a big ol' face #Monsterdon

Woo hoo I'd play 3 minutes in heaven w/ these fairies #Monsterdon

love how 1 dimensional the White characters are, lol

#Monsterdon

Spy camera—yeah! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

"Oh how cute" <--- obviously the plan

Telepathy? So just normal twin stuff? Got it! #Monsterdon

Oh good.Not all of the island women are 1' tall. I was having concerns about the population.

#Monsterdon

"Strictly speaking, they're just scientific data"

OK, fair, but. So are you. #Monsterdon

Same fairies whose traditional song is in Japanese don't understand speech

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

THE FAIRIES LEARN ENGLISH

#monsterdon

It's not meddling, it's an interview! So that someone else can meddle. #Monsterdon

THREE MINUTES

NO CALLING YOUR LAWYERS

#monsterdon

#monsterdon it may sound primitive and unscientific but through the faries we could summon a voice actor who's not doing a racist impression of the wrong accent

while typing: Egg spotted. That brings the egg count to: 00 (counting the bonus starting egg I made up.) This must not be the one where the reporter keeps pulling eggs out of his coat, it would have already been a running gag at this point.

I think you're maybe overestimating how much a show of two tiny ladies singing mostly the same word over and over will scale. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Mothra can only be summoned by Shitake Mushroom Circles. Somewhat sad and floppy, but tasty with lemongrass and some galangal.

"Don't try any of your smart tricks. Or anything foolish!" What about chicanery or maybe shenanigans? #Monsterdon #Mothra

"I will let you all go in.... but not come out." #Monsterdon

Oh yeah, serious Conan the Barbarian vibes here. #Monsterdon

You can all go in... but can't come out! [Villain laughter.] #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962
