@ohiofi don't shame my kink #Monsterdon #PaintTrucks

#Mothra was the Millennium Falcon before it was cool

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I can't remember whether it was Tsuburaya or his wife or both who was or were committed Christians…eventually leading to multiple Ultramen being crucified in one episode.

#monsterdon
#Mothra

NO ONE: can we please get several more minutes of paint trucks?

#monsterdon #mothra

so Mothra is Jesuschrist, but make it kaiju?!?!?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

i love how this american city is like Aryan nation with one filipino guy in the middle of the crowd

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

lol, Mothra is a Christian? This movie is delightfully wild, you can see where Neon Genesis Evangelion get's it's roots from.

#Monsterdon

ACAB but thanks I think? But fuck you.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

A Toho Production.

THE END

Still a good #monsterdon

The Ultra Nationalist message that if you let White People live in your neighbourhood their inevitable schemes will attract Kaiju....

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon #mothra

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

#monsterdon

He died doing what he loved, fleeing from actors in blackface

"Down goes Mothra! Down goes Mothra!" #monsterdon

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

#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 #mothra #mothradon

Mothra says: Yes in your backyard!

@ricci give the people what they want, immediate rezoning

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

Your little fairies are in the box.

#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

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

#monsterdon

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

The tiny twins. This really is top shelf kaiju cinema. #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

"and then they left the island, the end"

#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

Also wondering whether this Extremely American marching band music was original or not as well

#monsterdon

A TERRIFYING little clean, tame, soft mousie

#Monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

Obligatory fishing boat in distress, check!

#Monsterdon

Ok, it's my time to shine!

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

#Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰

WTF THAT’S A THIN JACK BLACK!!!

#Monsterdon #MarsAttack

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

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.

#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

So. Very. Weird. On so many levels.
#monsterdon

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

#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!

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

Hahah, Mothra, use the automobile to do your destruction for you! Yes!

#monsterdon

I want Atomic Cannons

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

⁉️ TRIVIAZILLA 🦋 🏙️💥🐛

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
🦋 Toho's most expensive film ever made up until that point
🦋 the most expensive film ever made in Japan at the time.

#Mothra1961

If the Feds ever want to look in my bag I'll tell them I am the Ambassador to Roslinka or what ever

#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

"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

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

Great model work. #monsterdon

#iykyk #comicchat

#monsterdon

YES now this kind of people running around in a blind panic I'm here for

#monsterdon

NO ONE: can we please have more Rolisican politics?

#monsterdon #mothra

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
