EU remake of Mothra where she builds a coccoon against the Eiffel Tower. Thinly veiled America is still the villain.

i like the way nelson's henchmen call him Boss in english.

#monsterdon

"Nelson, gone?"

"You know what this means?"

"With those girls gone, it will be impossible to stop that monster now!"

Mothra: *completely stopped, busily building a cocoon, not destroying anything right now*

#monsterdon

"Atomic heat gun", hair of the dog that bit ya, eh

#monsterdon

Mothra: "Om nom nom"

#Monsterdon

I like the implied offscreen plot where the Japanese government is like "fuck kidnapping those faeries is gonna get us attacked by a kaiju" and the Russamerican government is like "but muh showbusiness money" and they're having this huge diplomatic fight that we only see when either nelson gets a phone call or the journalists read a ticker tape.

#monsterdon

@arrjay there goes Mothra, gentrifying the neighborhood

#monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Mothra says: Yes in your backyard!

is this what they call "urban renewal"

#monsterdon

Your little fairies are in the box.

#monsterdon

Well, the baby subplot was long-lasting and difficult to resolve

#monsterdon

One of the science masters has a plan to hide the faeries from Mothra in a magic shoebox. However, before that plan can get into fruition the JSDF has sighted Mothra (in her caterpillar form) approaching Tokyo (of course), so we have to scramble jets to shoot at her.

#monsterdon

roll that stock footage of jets taking off!

#Monsterdon

"sorry lads, you're fucked. You shouldn't have abducted us, ay?"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon The monster will attack Tokyo! Again! We just rebuilt the set! Craaaap. Find the matte painter, we’ll need more GRAY.

baby #Mothra has risen!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I think we can all agree Clark Nelson is a supreme asshole

#Monsterdon

this pixie island dance serving Rhythm Nation realness

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

This movie is really going to throw off the MTTK (Mean Time To Kaiju) metrics

#monsterdon

"My mysterious girls wouldn't sing if they weren't happy"

Bro, they tried to warn you BRO

#Monsterdon

MOTH-A-RAH?!?!?

he said it! he named it!

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Shoot ‘em all and let Mothra sort it out

#monsterdon #mothra

"Clark Nelson"

Should have gone with "Jonathan Americanman"

#Monsterdon

Don't worry, we won't nuke you. Just a few abductions.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

The blue helmet stripe means medical, the gold helmet stripe means command, the yellow helmet stripe means mustard, the red helmet stripe means ketchup, and no helmet stripe means you die in the second act. #monsterdon

Oh my god these natives ... are a ... thing?

#monsterdon

Man these practical effect plants are so much better than CG stuff

#monsterdon

So far Mothra is a kind of buddy journalist film.

#monsterdon

People *love* it when they say “no photos” and then you secretly take their photo

#monsterdon #mothra

I wonder why Japanese cinema was so focused on radiation there for a certain period of time? #monsterdon

Ok, it's my time to shine!

I was really young here, wildin out. I'm a different mostura now. Enjoy.

#Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰

Nelson's death was such a bummer. So much missed opportunity. Like, obviously, he should've been crushed personally by Mothra! Or maybe he should've given up the girls, but still been squished by Mothra out of spite!

Being bloodlessly shot by some random deputy on some random street? Where is the justice? Such a missed opportunity!

#Monsterdon

They say no man is an island. I'm fine with that; this island was kinda weird. Thanks again to @Taweret and the #Monsterdon employees of the moth!

On to #marsattacks ...

#monsterdon Welp. that fuckered off injto the sea faster than expected! Thanks everyone!

Well that was indeed how you make a Godzilla movie , bravo everyone!

Hail Mothra, the New Omega, Cleanser of Sin!

#Monsterdon

Didn't quite get #MonsterdonBingo, but that's okay, the fun is in the playing!

Edit: I am a fool, I have a diagonal bingo after all!

#Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag yeah, the english dub is 10 minutes shorter.

#monsterdon

PROTIP: pray the giant moth away.

#monsterdon

In the Future bulk cargo will be moved across the skies by Mothras

#Monsterdon

well whatever this new Religion is, let's wage a holy war across the planet for it, yeah?

#Monsterdon

@bstacey

Wikipedia even has a page on mothraism- oh wait

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism

#Monsterdon

Every time a bell rings, Mothra gets her wings!! 🔔

#monsterdon

Someone in the church quickly programmed the bells to play Mothras song, impressive. #monsterdon

How much damage would just the wing beats of a giant moth do? Someone must have worked it out....

#Monsterdon

thanks to our hosts and viewers, y'all be safe.
✌️😉

#monsterdon

fin

#monsterdon

Sorry Japan, bollywood has you beat for dance numbers

#monsterdon

@brennen Agreed. I genuinely voted for Godzilla 1998 as the worst of the year. Thinking that nothing else will be that bad.

I even enjoyed The Godmonster of Indian Flats more than Godzilla 1998. And that's SAYING something.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon

I love how the radio guy casually drops that the Russamerican air force was destroyed off screen by Mothra.

"Whoops we used up all of our budget. hahahhahaha. Better do a narration!"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

Mosura is coming for the teensy women! Yay Mosura! Yay Teensy Women!

@apLundell a holy war has begun and I'm with the Mothrans #Monsterdon

mothra flies off to destroy rolisica, no one lifts a finger.

honestly, valid.

#monsterdon

Now Mothra is a being worth worshiping...

#Monsterdon

BELLS WE BE RINGING

THE SAD, SAD NEWS

OH, THIS HERE MOTHRA

HAS GOT THE BLUES...

#monsterdon

they're tryin' to take her out and she's turnin' and burnin' !

#monsterdon

I want Atomic Cannons

Nobody would fuck with my micro state then....

#Monsterdon

ah yes, one pair of glasses will protect me from being recognized by anyone at all.

#monsterdon

total FAFO now!

#monsterdon

The twins represent your fantastical dual boot setup that gave you the grub errors

#Monsterdon

Honestly, it's hard to riff this part because it's just so damn well done.

#monsterdon #mothra

this movie enters its infrastructure destruction phase, as Mothra starts walking over gas stations that explode with a satisfying crunch. The JSDF tries to missile her, to no avail, so then it deploys the toy tanks, each of which has an optional action figure standing in the commander's hatch.

Unconvinced of their ability to launch a successful defense, the civilians very logically being their panicked evacuation.

#monsterdon

We're all hoping Nelson gets squished

#MOnsterdon

I'm telling my kid this is the bean in Chicago.
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

Lovely model work....

#Monsterdon

Love that the kid took that guy out with a haymaker to the breadbasket

#Monsterdon

@ricci give the people what they want, immediate rezoning

#monsterdon

Great model work. #monsterdon

#iykyk #comicchat

#monsterdon

we all hate Nelson

#Monsterdon

Suggestion, try using your real air force and not the models

#monsterdon

NO ONE: can we please have more Rolisican politics?

#monsterdon #mothra

i wonder how big is the #Mothra they built for the aerial shots in the ocean. as big as a boat or a mini-submarine?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Oh no, a single innocent child has been imperiled by the dam collapse, brought about by a man seeking personal enrichment and ignoring the human cost of his single-minded pursuit

#monsterdon

“Ah, we can make a box out of this and put the girls in it to cut their communication with Mothra!”
“Exactly. A fairie-day cage.”

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@bunnyhero
"That didn't work. Now what?"
"Don't ask me. I always figured that would work."
#monsterdon

Best fight scene I've seen on Monsterdon yet. #Monsterdon

Uh oh, a caterpillar sank our toy boat! Oh no!

On the plus side, this movie has a toy boat!

#monsterdon

Typical that the mens first idea is to silence the women

#monsterdon #mothra

On one hand the "lets kidnap two tiny people and use them for a stage play" is a weird ass thing for a government to do, its not much weirder than some other things governments are doing now so... um... maybe the Russamericans in Mothra were ahead of their time.

#monsterdon

I'm not sure calling Mothra "dinosaur-like" is accurate

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

hahaha YES, YES

#monsterdon

Team Journalism and Team Science have decided that faerie rights matter and are going to confront the evil Russamerican ambassador about doing a slavery for show business, but he doesn't care, because money. He still lets them see the faeries, who make synthwave noises in an attempt at communication.

#monsterdon

MOSURA GA

KIMASU

They tried to warn you bro

#Monsterdon

Oh shit you guys, I think there's something in that egg

#monsterdon

Where I'm at:

I would like a giant moth to wreck these weirdo colonizers

#Monsterdon (also in general)

Oh right. The mothra song is more or less in Indonesian

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I hope that song is saying "Mothra come save us and whoop this mofo ass..." 🎶🎶🎶 #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

old guy showing his godlike huevo. this is a joke en español.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

The expedition returns to Japan, to the clamor of an excited press which wants to hear about the weird island with a mushroom forest and also tiny women.

Meanwhile the cunning linguist tries to decipher the mysterious text, talking about it with the rectangular journalist and concludes it says something about "Mothra" but we don't know what that is yet.

#monsterdon

Which Warriors gang is this one?

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"What is this symbol repeated here, and here?"

"\"Mothra\"."

*twelve-part xylophone symphony rings out*

*dancing bears begin an intricately choreographed aerial routine*

*rose petals fall from the heavens*

That is the name of the movie!

#monsterdon

I seem to remember not liking Mothra the first time I saw it, but I'm definitely enjoying it more on a second watch, and I'm not sure why?

#monsterdon

We were the kaiju to the fairies all along

#monsterdon #mothra

After the guy who was beeped to sleep wakes up in the boat sickbay, he tells the other boat people that he saw some small women and they beeped at him and he fell asleep, then he rolls over and falls asleep again.

So we send another explanation and find the tiny girls, who start making synthwave noises that the cunning linguist translates as "plz dont nuke our island" which is a reasonable thing to ask via synthwave noises.

#monsterdon

Wait. That's it. The expedition just went to some island, saw some tiny women, harassed them, then left?
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

That alarm has been going the whole time??
