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

the #Monsterdon feed is fucking hilarious even without watching the movie

@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

@Binder magic, obviously

#Monsterdon

if they can move around in that golden doohickey jail, why can’t they move it back to their island?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

The dam is hatching!

#monsterdon

50s jet planes were so shiny

#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

#monsterdon Little golden chariot just flies right into a bug light, end of movie. Bzzzzzzap.

tiny ocean liner is gonna get Mothraed

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

I'm liking the actor playing Nelson (the evil ambassador) because he's got the slimy scumbag thing down pat.

#monsterdon

The fairy twins all grown up… up

#monsterdon #mothra

These two are walking shenanigans. #monsterdon

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

are these singers called The Peanuts?

#monsterdon
#mothradon

@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

If these are Uncontacted People then think of the diseases waiting to meet them 😬

Mothra can lay waste to this city for sure.

#Monsterdon

🎶 we're going to sing and fuck you up 🎵

#Monsterdon #Mothra

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

This act of kidnapping causes the natives to appear, giving us another ethnicity in this film. The natives appear out of nowhere and start banging drums.

Eventually this and the protests of the other explorers (both the japanese and also the russamerican doctor background character doctor) convince the russamericans with guns to unkidnap the tiny women.

#monsterdon

the gathering of the rock-thumpers

they just wanted to invite you to drum circle

#monsterdon

I found some documents on Infant Island but they were all blacked out

#Monsterdon

It's what you say when you're really excited about a moth! "Moth! Ra!" #Monsterdon

While the Japanese explorers act civilized, the Russamericans decide to kidnap the tiny women, lifting them up like barbie dolls and then pulling a gun on the other explorers.

#monsterdon

“Wouldn’t it be better just to leave this island alone?”

What if more humans had this attitude about more things? The world would be a much better place.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

#monsterdon Is it the flag of Japan on their helmets or is it just a blood type blot test card?

"Clark Nelson. History unknown."

All we have is a rental record for a column in Trafalgar. #Monsterdon

I'm into "petite" but 6" tall is taking it too far.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon There we go, they are pocket sized fairies! Also, we're all happy to see them!

#monsterdon The alarm tone eventually became an optional phone ringtone on Cisco VOIP phones.

#monsterdon That was a land speed record to hentai tentacle porn. Ohhhhtay.

"I wonder? Vampire plant?" #monsterdon

SOS alarm by Hammond Organs

#monsterdon

Same for "Extremely Small Humans!"

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon With that rifle he's a danger to everything in the air... BIRDS TOO!

I love how the White Guy is like just some simple background character that seems to be along for the ride...

#Monsterdon

Nice of this mysterious island to have a built-in alarm system

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

I like how our shore party is anti-radiation suits because we remember that the island was radioactive.

#monsterdon

I have no comment regarding tentacles in a Japanese movie. #monsterdon

vampire plant sounds like a #monsterdon movie

Tentacles!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

so the dramatic music is because they found a whole forest in the middle of a rock.

how do you say cayo in English? cay?

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Monsterdon

Anyway we're going on a science mission to the island via boat. The ambassador from Russamerica is there so I can know what I sounds like when I try to speak in Japanese. I think both of our scientists are there. And the rectangular reporter is there, disguised as a boat staff guy who tried to spy on the Russamerican guy, almost leading to him getting shot by the grumpy Russamerican until one of the scientist saved him.

#monsterdon

Got a free 1/8th at the dispensary last week and just opened it. Mellow, but strong. If someone wondered why they call it being 'stoned' this is what I would give them. Really heady buzz. #monsterdon

[menacing jungle orchestral sting]

#monsterdon

#monsterdon They had PPE. That's the last time anyone had PPE. CRAP. ;)

why do all the _uniforms_ have eject buttons?

#monsterdon

"Your protective equipment is thoroughly reliable and no emergency should occur."

Well they dead for sure!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon He gets officous sneer award. Ahhh-oooh-gah!

I wonder what the fairies are doing

#monsterdon

#monsterdon It's not an old rag! It's the Shroud of Turin!

Hey! Where's my bingo card? #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

Jerry Itô's slow stilted delivery of his Japanese dialog works for his character being a foreigner speaking Japanese.

But this was not intentional. Jerry Ito had only been studying the Japanese language for a short time and was not completely fluent.
