Ok so those looked like bluescreen, and not as good as the previous optical compositing shots. The lighting didn't match at all. #monsterdon

Nice clock. Where did you film this, Metropolis?

#Monsterdon

Nelson has decided to flee the country by pretending to be an embassy staff member and just taking a commercial flight back to Russamerica; he has the kidnapped faeries in his carry-on and uses diplomatic immunity to avoid a search.

#monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 called "Air-hen" #monsterdon ((geeze my old man phone skills suck!))

Release the Epstein Files! What happened to the girls, Nelson?!

#monsterdon #mothra

The Mothra peanut has everyone worried

#Monsterdon

"ATOMIC CANNONS!"

excellent

#Monsterdon

cya on the flipside Nelson

#monsterdon

Mothra-crafted anti-helicopter spray. The perfect gift for anyone in your life.
#monsterdon
#mothra

Use of pistols on a fleeing suspect seems very in character for Rolisican cop. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

@davesdogmaggie For me it's.....#monsterdon

the peanut!

#monsterdon

Presumably not sure where the faeries are at, Mothra has contented herself with attacking Tokyo Tower, because its really tall I guess. The army surrounds it and starts shooting her with missiles, tanks and different missiles, eventually knocking her to the ground (and breaking the tower, uh oh)

This causes Mothra to remember that she's a moth and so she starts spinning a cocoon, knocking down a helicopter as she goes, for bonus points.

#monsterdon

Mothra and Attack Of The Puppet People have both shown how hard it can be to transport tiny people.

Anyone with daughters would have known Barbie carrying cases would have been the way to go.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"New Kirk City"???

#monsterdon

Lightly char your Mothra to really bring out the flavor. #monsterdon

Oh no, Mothra is Wilford Brimley-ing!

#Monsterdon

Mothra coming out doesn't require a political response

#Monsterdon

oooo, she's making a cocoon!

#Monsterdon

now what did mothra *think* was gonna happen climbing that tower

#Monsterdon

these bad guys know how to really yuck it up lol

#monsterdon

Mon Mothra having a right old time Downtown!

#Monsterdon

Apparently, the Japanese government decided it fears a Kaiju attack more than the Russamericans being grumpy, so it sends some military police looking guys to back up the previous child-only rescue team and find the faeries, but alas, the faeries have been taken away.

#monsterdon

Tokyo tower
RIP
#Monsterdon

Loving the little tank models too

#Monsterdon

Excellent models. And now, a cocoon! #Monsterdon

Aw cute! When traversing land, makes me think of The Hungry, Hungry Mothrapillar
#monsterdon
#mothra

#Monsterdon

And Tokyo Tower was never the same after that!

#Mothra

hahaha take that, helicopter

#monsterdon

Because the grown ups have failed, it is time for the children to try to rescue the faeries. It seems to go as planned for a while, then more fisticuffs thugs stop them.

#monsterdon

This is the stuff Godzilla (1998) lacked. When Iguano-godzilla wrecked a building it was cheap CG crap that just looks silly now. This is the authentic model destruction, straight from the heart <3 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Fake Chicken Mascot Gag.

This is the part of the movie where we see lots of splashing and also screaming an then a journalist saves a baby in a wicker basket.

#monsterdon

The very hungry caterpillar... #monsterdon

I wouldn't trust children not to be weird with the fairy ladies, think they were toys or something...

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero pretty good for '62

#monsterdon

Why was the kid hiding in a chicken?!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Meanwhile outside a dam somewhere, Mothra stopped to bubble in the water for a while, triggering a minor panic, then started breaking a dam. The locals realize that they're in a kaiju movie now and so we get a Kaiju Movie Evacuation Scene! Hooray! Then Mothra splashes at them more.

#monsterdon

White Guy seems more fluent in Japanese than English

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter I think it's the sub being 10 minutes longer than the dub

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

This era of Kaiju films has the best cars #Monsterdon

Damn the dams. Damn them all to hell! #Monsterdon

Next time my boss gets mad at me, I'm just gonna sing the Mosura song.

#monsterdon

Poor kid, they binned him. #Monsterdon

Wow. Miniatures protip: Never use water, or if you do, don't use it with miniatures. #monsterdon

Look at the fins on that car! #Monsterdon

You (characters) should know Mothra can't be dead, we have like a third of a movie left

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@pngwen she's a lady with plans and a purpose

#Monsterdon

I feel really sad for the burning Mothra larvae.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

“The dam is about to go! Get back!” Ay, Potemkin steps! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

They should attract Mothra with a giant sweater.

"Make this the headline. Famous Last Words: Mothra Definitely, Absolutely, Positively to be Annihilated at Sea"

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

It's a moth worm! Quick, hide all the textiles! #Monsterdon

The dam is hatching!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The team that brought you the wiffle ball and bat set.

How could it possibly be an important call? It didn't come in on the red phone.
#monsterdon

Just leave the large larva intent on revenge alone!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"Uh, hey, I beat up all the guards, so I think we can just carry the cage out of here"

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

The stage play has upgraded because now the faeries can suddenly sing words in Japanese now, which a radio announcer lampshades as mysterious and weird.

Anyway, their song is being played on the radio as a boat sails somewhere (normal) but also a large caterpillar starts sailing to it (weird).

#monsterdon

tiny ocean liner is gonna get Mothraed

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

@devilgirlbot There is one thing: Telepathy

#monsterdon

The fairy twins all grown up… up

#monsterdon #mothra

After the faeries explain that Mothra will rescue them, we go back to the island for "Mothra Dance Party the Music Video" and the Mothra theme cranks up to 42, then natives start bowing and the egg hatches and a weird brown caterpillar emerges.

#monsterdon

Maybe my whole life is taking place in a tiny flying carriage

#Monsterdon

looks like Mosura's doing the breast-stroke

#monsterdon

"Also they sang that whole song about Mothra in front of an auditorium full of people"

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Monsterdon

waving his ticker-tape in the Editors face...

#Monsterdon

there's the divine vengance of Mon Mothra!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon haha we can speak Japanese, we were just kidding around with the electric organ noises

This photographer is dedicated. Four separate cameras.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

Back on the island, the real natives are having their own dance party around a giant egg.

I take back what I said about the real and fake natives looking similar; the fake natives actually look more fake because the real natives are in like... not blackface but grey face? Are they supposed to be dirty?

#monsterdon

@nev They haven't run over a dog and kept driving yet on their way to a business deal.

#Monsterdon

Attack of the Puppet Fairies

#monsterdon #mothra

They sing because they are afraid, you monsters!

#Monsterdon

"Don't try any smart tricks." If I had a dime....#monsterdon

After being removed from our carriage, the two faeries start singing the Infamous Mothra Song while some pretend natives (who actually look like the real natives in this movie) dance behind them.

#monsterdon

everybody's getting juiced-up on red goo
#monsterdon
#mothradon

& now, your Red Juice Dancers #Monsterdon

@diazona maybe they asked the doll maker from attack of the puppet people #monsterdon

#monsterdon The little fairies are actually K-Pop Demon Hunters, and the demons are really just derelict World War 2 gremlins that fell out of fighter jets. It's all one big shared universe! *sweeps table clean and gestures to evidence board covered in string and tacks*

This counts as brownface, right? They missed a few spots. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

@arrjay

Oh yeah, it's kind of a flea circus

#Monsterdon

All kaiju films should have a dream ballet

#monsterdon #mothra

So how did they arrange for the fairies to get new clothes

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Ladies and gentlemen, your Mothra Solid Gold dancers!!! #Monsterdon

The Russamericans have decided that the end goal of Imperialism is show business and are taking their kidnapped tiny ladies to a theater.

#monsterdon

Whoa they have 🗿 !

#monsterdon

In England the flying carriages happen a lot around November....

#Monsterdon

Is "we now live in the atomic age" a crowd-pleasing opening line in Japan?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Sing along everyone!

#Monsterdon

Showbiz sisters?! Hmm… now I want to see a spin-off with the fairies that’s basically the plot of “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane”

#monsterdon #mothra

This clearly isn't the same timeline as "King Kong" or the Newspaper guys would be saying "Not this again" with the 'Exotic' being brought back to Civilisation in chains as Entertainment.

#Monsterdon

So uh... what if these "explorers" are the real monsters? Just saying #monsterdon

#monsterdon The natives are doing the Monty Python horse-clopping with coconuts gag.

now they've *really* fucked up

#Monsterdon

They suddenly petrify when picked up by the giants 😂

#Monsterdon

(likely going to be doing more watching than heckling tonight, I have a bag of dill pickle popcorn and I hate rushing back and forth to wash my hands before typing)

#monsterdon

Shenanigans are afoot
