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

Team Journalism and Team Science have now combined into Team Ethics and are trying to rescue the faeries to stop a kaiju attack. Naturally the faeries are kept as prisoner beyond a college staircase and protected by goons trained in fisticuffsmanship. But the journalists have better fisticuffsmanship and so defeat them and communicate with the faeries who are like "i dunno we can't do anything i think ur fucked"

#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.”

@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

@blogdiva I was thinking thought that the Mothra exploration team is more logically equipped than Star Trek away missions were - like they have actual protective gear instead of just their clothing.

#monsterdon

That alarm has been going the whole time??

#Monsterdon

If I saw 'fairies' on a radiation island I'd think I'd only have a few messy days to live...

#Monsterdon

STOP WITH THE LEWDPOSTING ON MY TIMELINE I'M TRYING TO WATCH MOTHRA /j

#Monsterdon

"and then they left the island, the end"

#monsterdon

So much broccoli

#Monsterdon

Who did we just get a literal Checkov's Gun

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

d’awwwwwww our tubby hero makes his first appearance. he always reminds me of Russell from Up

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Chekhov’s mouse

#monsterdon #mothra

WAIT!

açaí means red in japanese?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

The juice

#monsterdon #mothra

If you're stranded on an island, summon a giant headline

#Monsterdon

*Sees one Martian on TV*

Suddenly they have internal diagrams of their organ and bone structure.

*Sees they have a large head.*

"Clearly they have telepathy."

#Monsterdon

@blogdiva

... Is #monsterdon #marsattacks tonight?! Damnit! The wife and I had an unscheduled-relationship-adjustment-meeting (low-key fight)... We could've been watching #marsattacks with all of #monsterdon instead?!

A few minutes before #Monsterdon began, I closed my eyes for a moment.

A moment later, it was 8:00.

I've had 1 cup of coffee today, I then discovered, to my horror. 😱

If you want to know what life will be like once the changing climate wipes out coffee crops, I call it "siesta." 🥱

I've gotten a lot of sleep today. Tonight will surely be special.

this movie has blackjack and hookers!

#Monsterdon

@Mikal yeah, miru's streaming it!

https://miru.miyaku.media/

#monsterdon #mothradon

The Lady did us proud tonight! #Monsterdon #MonMothra #Mothra

I’m sorry, y’all, I can handle Mothra and women from Mars and Frankenstein vs. Dracula, but I cannot with the nonsense that is #MarsAttacks #Monsterdon

Current status: listening to The Peanuts albums (there are a lot!)

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@klu9 @bstacey incidentally Raised By Wolves is about as nuts as this movie and worth a watch even though they did not finish it and I mourn this every day

#Monsterdon #RaisedByWolves

That’s a wrap for another Monsterdon! Thanks, @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, @JoeWynne for #MonsterdonDrink, @ryan for #MonsterdonStream, and all of you for making it awesome!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Three BINGOs!!!

Mothra is a cuddly kaiju.

Gotta feel the husky guy did most of the work out of the Journalists...

#Monsterdon

Can't you hear the bells sing in Cologne? You won't hear it on the radio.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Holy shit more Toy Boats! This movie has a veritable flotilla of doomed toy boats.

#monsterdon

Because we're fuck all out of ideas we decide to get the clergy to help.

Then we realize that the ringing church bells are kind of like Mothra's song, only not, and than the Infant island natives also like crosses. So we get a plan to um... ring all the bells at once and I guess coordinate the return of the kidnapped faeries with Mothra.

#monsterdon

oh yeah it's all fine, we're just all about to die, no problem.

#monsterdon

All the American cars have more fins than a fish
#monsterdon
#mothradon

the toy trucks are just squee
#monsterdon
#mothradon

wow New Kirk Motors sure is taking a beating.

#monsterdon
#mothradon

They're not real White People because they're learned the language of the neighbours...

#Monsterdon

This reminds me of when the people of Hartlepool hung a monkey as a French spy in a panic....

....it was a while ago, don't worry

#Monsterdon

On top of Nelson being the general bad guy, he had to wrestle a walking cane from an elderly man, then throw it to the ground to continue running, before being shot to death.

That’s bad a bad guy he is.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Team Ethics is taking a toy airplane to Russamerica to try to save the day. It is a Panamerican toy airplane, making me wonder if the US is also a country in this universe (I was assuming that it was replaced by Russamerica).

#monsterdon

@pngwen

Mothra died, was resurrected, and then ascended into the sky

#monsterdon #mothra

Mothra: *lulled by the sweet sound of ground to air gunfire and church bells, lands on the Mothra symbol painted on an airstrip and has a lil snooze*

Yeah you've earned that, have a good nap

#monsterdon

I used to think nobody would be as evil and selfish as a character like Nelson....

#Monsterdon

PanAm airplane!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Mothra sounds kinda like the Whales in Star Trek IV.

#Monsterdon

via our Light Bulbs of Radiation we have successfully lit the giant peanut on fire.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I hope 3:00 is soon.

There's kind of a lot of destruction happening.

"Everyone don your anti-radiation sunglasses before we fire the death ray."

#monsterdon

ITS NELSON!
#monsterdon

"What did you do with those little girls, Nelson‽"

Nelson: *pulls a gun on the crowd, runs for it*

Police: *ventilate Nelson thoroughly*

😬

#monsterdon

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

#monsterdon

@SnoopJ “Fires and kaiju are the flowers of Edo”

#Monsterdon

Are we still calling them “tiny beauties?”

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

NO ONE: Please tell us more about the Rolisican embassy

#monsterdon #mothra

lol, Nelson's evil as he saw the fully convincing disguise

#Monsterdon

while our special effects budget escalates, Nelson is trying to escape in a car, presumably with the kidnapped faeries, but all the panicked civilians and general violence is blocking his escape, so he asks them to turn around so he can escape a different way.

#monsterdon

So how does it undergo metamorphosis when there are no naturally occurring radio towers on which to spin its cocoon? #monsterdon

this movie has a floatybirb approved level of explosions.

#monsterdon

[atomic sounds intensify]

#monsterdon

[Imagine I made this joke about 30 minutes ago when the fairies were in their golden carriage]

More like CIRCUS PEANUTS, amirite?!

#monsterdon #mothra

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

#monsterdon

Mobil Stations Destroyed By Mothra Counter: 000002

#Monsterdon

evacuation scenes! mah favorite!

#monsterdon

"You know what a love letter from me is? A bullet from a fucking gun." Mothra probably. #monsterdon

Tonight on #Monsterdon : the entire life cycle of a moth

BTW the casual gringo colonialism by nuclear detente is… very gringo

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#monsterdon The little kid needs a propeller attached to the top of his cap.

Shinji. Get in the big chicken, or Rei is going to have to pilot again.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Kinda jealous of people watching the Tubi version getting to watch kaiju smashes 7 minutes earlier than I do

It's okay though, it's worth the wait
