WTF THATβS A THIN JACK BLACK!!!
@ohiofi don't shame my kink #Monsterdon #PaintTrucks
#Mothra was the Millennium Falcon before it was cool
I can't remember whether it was Tsuburaya or his wife or both who was or were committed Christiansβ¦eventually leading to multiple Ultramen being crucified in one episode.
NO ONE: can we please get several more minutes of paint trucks?
so Mothra is Jesuschrist, but make it kaiju?!?!?
So. Very. Weird. On so many levels.
#monsterdon
lol, Mothra is a Christian? This movie is delightfully wild, you can see where Neon Genesis Evangelion get's it's roots from.
ACAB but thanks I think? But fuck you.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
The Ultra Nationalist message that if you let White People live in your neighbourhood their inevitable schemes will attract Kaiju....
Mothra is mom, Mothra is life
Shooting heat rays at Mothra's cocoon: "She's cooked"
Mothra hatches and flies away with hurricane force winds: "Oh no we're cooked!"
#Monsterdon #Mothra
Ask not for whom the bells tolls. It tolls for Mothra. #monsterdon
EU remake of Mothra where she builds a coccoon against the Eiffel Tower. Thinly veiled America is still the villain.
#Monsterdon #Mothra
oh I forgot about THE POWER OF JESUS in this movie
He died doing what he loved, fleeing from actors in blackface
If the Feds ever want to look in my bag I'll tell them I am the Ambassador to Roslinka or what ever
Building all of these miniatures jut to smash them, this is what art is about
"Down goes Mothra! Down goes Mothra!" #monsterdon
i like the way nelson's henchmen call him Boss in english.
"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*
"Atomic heat gun", hair of the dog that bit ya, eh
Mothra: "Om nom nom"
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.
@arrjay there goes Mothra, gentrifying the neighborhood
#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon
Mothra says: Yes in your backyard!
is this what they call "urban renewal"
Your little fairies are in the box.
Well, the baby subplot was long-lasting and difficult to resolve
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.
roll that stock footage of jets taking off!
"sorry lads, you're fucked. You shouldn't have abducted us, ay?"
#monsterdon The monster will attack Tokyo! Again! We just rebuilt the set! Craaaap. Find the matte painter, weβll need more GRAY.
baby #Mothra has risen!
I think we can all agree Clark Nelson is a supreme asshole
this pixie island dance serving Rhythm Nation realness
This movie is really going to throw off the MTTK (Mean Time To Kaiju) metrics
Shoot βem all and let Mothra sort it out
The tiny twins. This really is top shelf kaiju cinema. #monsterdon
Don't worry, we won't nuke you. Just a few abductions.
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?
Man these practical effect plants are so much better than CG stuff
So far Mothra is a kind of buddy journalist film.
People *love* it when they say βno photosβ and then you secretly take their photo
A TERRIFYING little clean, tame, soft mousie
I wonder why Japanese cinema was so focused on radiation there for a certain period of time? #monsterdon
"we were protected by the juice" <- easily misheard
Obligatory fishing boat in distress, check!
Ok, it's my time to shine!
I was really young here, wildin out. I'm a different mostura now. Enjoy.

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!
I give Mothra 5 out of 5 blackpowder explosions, because I'm feeling generous and it had a lot of toy boats in it. I'm not sure why I didn't like it as much the first time I saw it.
The best characters are the greasy weirdo Nelson and also the giant moth who knocks everything over.
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!
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!
@otheorange_tag yeah, the english dub is 10 minutes shorter.
PROTIP: pray the giant moth away.
In the Future bulk cargo will be moved across the skies by Mothras
well whatever this new Religion is, let's wage a holy war across the planet for it, yeah?
Wikipedia even has a page on mothraism- oh wait
Every time a bell rings, Mothra gets her wings!! π
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....
thanks to our hosts and viewers, y'all be safe.

I remember one time I worked at a KFC and my boss got shot and I had to deal with his suitcase full of tiny women
what a hassle

Sorry Japan, bollywood has you beat for dance numbers
@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
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!"

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
Now Mothra is a being worth worshiping...
they're tryin' to take her out and she's turnin' and burnin' !

Columbia Pictures threatened to cancel the entire film if new budget-friendly scenes set in fictional "New Kirk City" were not included.
These scenes were mostly created from library footage from California.
With the additional funds from Columbia Pictures, Mothra became
π¦ Toho's most expensive film ever made up until that point
π¦ the most expensive film ever made in Japan at the time.
ah yes, one pair of glasses will protect me from being recognized by anyone at all.
total FAFO now!
The twins represent your fantastical dual boot setup that gave you the grub errors
Honestly, it's hard to riff this part because it's just so damn well done.
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.
We're all hoping Nelson gets squished
I'm telling my kid this is the bean in Chicago.
#Monsterdon
#Mothra
Lovely model work....
Love that the kid took that guy out with a haymaker to the breadbasket
@ricci give the people what they want, immediate rezoning
Great model work. #monsterdon
we all hate Nelson
Suggestion, try using your real air force and not the models
