Can we sent Mothra to Minneapolis, next?

#monsterdon #mothra

That really was a delight! Thanks @Taweret, @Cherizilla and @JoeWynne for tonight's wacky and uplifting #Monsterdon

bye, mothra! don't be a stranger!

#Monsterdon

@trixter *dang* they waited a long time for that uber #Monsterdon

Mothra screaming w/ excitement because she's a big fan of the fairies' tiktok #Monsterdon

"Yay, our ride's here!"

#monsterdon #mothra

I didn’t realize Mothra could read! #Monsterdon

Mothra coming in for a landing on VFR

#Monsterdon

Oh the flooding warehouses! Very nice models. #Monsterdon

@bstacey knew it! #Monsterdon

@trixter I can just imagine God being like "Hey Mothra, could you do me a favor, I'll totally owe you one"

Or maybe just sitting back and watching the destruction because they kind of earned it

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

yay to bingo

#monsterdon #mothradon

Hah, the comic relief crossing himself like a diamond was not lost on me 😂

#monsterdon

@Mikal This is fine

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@Lazarou

To be fair, his accent *was* quite thick

#Monsterdon

The priests be like "Maybe God can talk Mothra down."

#monsterdon #mothra

english dub is done, so i'm switching over to @miru stream of the japanese version and watching the end scenes again

#monsterdon

Tohoscope! A mark of quality.

Thank you @Taweret for hosting a wonderful real kaiju movie! This was an awesome #Monsterdon.

We love you #Mothra! We basically missed the #monsterdon but that's all right; we've seen the film before and will see it again, I'm sure.

"If we don't return the fairies quickly, New Kirk City will be destroyed!"

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

❤️ Thank you @Taweret for hosting this fantastical high flyer!

🅱️ and thanks @cherizilla for the Bingo card! My favorite: "Screeching"

🎞️ and more thanks to @paco for data analysis and @combatwombat for the replays and @randy_s for making the recommended cocktail.

🦖And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: What a scroll! I can tell everyone needed this one! Have a colorful week!

"If we don't return the faeries quickly, New Kirk City will be destroyed?"

The level of destruction is pretty high already but I mean he's got the right idea.

#Monsterdon

Imagine how confident you would be of your religion if your actual, physical God came to rescue you and laid waste to the cities and weapons of those who abused you?

Don't mess with the faeries.

#MonsterDon #TeamMothra

Yes, your island will never be disturbed again.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

The real monster is now dead.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

and we forgot to collect any evidence this ever happened.

#monsterdon

Why is there this weird enclave of White People? Fascinating alt-history

#MOnsterdon

New Kirk City appears to be San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York all rolled together.

#Monsterdon

o7 to whoever carefully comped in the actors over the studio-mandated stock footage of the USA

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon hehehehehe the tiny toy cars on the bridge

#monsterdon 🎶 HERE ON SHOBIJIN ISLE 🎶

(fun fact you can do the battle hymn of the republic to the tune of Gilligan's Isle, <strike>and a lot of Shakespeare fits in there too</strike>)

(I double checked and it's not Shakespeare, although the Australian Natl. Anthem and the original Pokémon theme work)

I'm surprised we don't conclude with Mothra eating the fairies, honestly.

#monsterdon

Mothra seems happy to see the twins, but she was just hatched and doesn’t know them. Make it make sense!

#Monsterdon

fezzik voice: does anybody want a peanut?

#Monsterdon

Well, our Uber's here. See ya losers. #Monsterdon #Mothra

I wanna watch Techmoan talk about that radio

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Imagine if Mothra instantly destroyed all the churches because it was attracted by the bells.

This is what happens when you try to use weapons on kaiju without declaring "FOR MY FAMILY!" first.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

MOTHRA

WITH WINGS UNFURLED!

#Monsterdon

And that's a PanAm 707!

#monsterdon

Aww, Moth Mothra is so cute!!! #Monsterdon

H E R

#monsterdon #mothra

The star has arrived! 🦋
#Monsterdon #Mothra

#Monsterdon

@cd0 It's Nelson!

Ha ha!
#monsterdon

@Lazarou 0

...wait hang on

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@cd0 ...gets cut in half (dad! Don't!) ... now it's a half nelson! #monsterdon

Have you ever considered Mothra's plan for your life? #Monsterdon

The scenes from inside the miniature stores with giant items blown down the street - then the "glass" being broken by stuff blown in - are superb.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon
#Mothra is the kewtest of kaiju!

:amaze:

New Kirk?

#Monsterdon

The most unrealistic thing about #mothra1962 is that the business tycoon villain is dispatched by the police #Mothradon #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Mothra tells them to put a pin in it!

Mothra and Rodan have the same physics defying wind weapon.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

they are not 'little girls'! They are 'teensy women'!

Is Mothra just flapping away the bullets? I don't think physics works like that. But I'm not a giant mythical moth chasing tiny women, so maybe?
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

Huh, someone is speaking German in this scene. Presumably another reporter. That's a nice touch!

#Monsterdon

@yatsu you need the moustache and nose too #monsterdon

danger peanut

#Monsterdon

Excellent, they're using Super Science now!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#Mothra EVOLVES!

Uh.... metamorphoses...

Okay, those MPs *are* all Roliscan.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

"A child could report on Mothra in a cocoon."

Great idea, boss, I'll go home, you get some kid to be near this death zone. #Monsterdon

Nice harmonizing by the Mothra girls.
Airplanes aren't the only things that can fly.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

Now that Mothra has metamorphosed, she can blow everything with her wing winds! Mothra 🌬️ 😱 💞

I will never not love Toho's miniature work. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon lmao get exploded, helicopter perverts!

"What's that Thread?"

It's an obsolete social network, but that's not important right now #Monsterdon

The thing about Mothra is that she started out as Bug/Flying but they switched her to Bug/Fairy after 6th gen. This early in the series she has trouble with Dragon-types, but since Godzilla's not in this film she's really on top of the meta. #Monsterdon

I think theres some deep metaphors going on with Nelson's dedication to being the twins' ummm... music agent? And the Roliscan Government being all white dudes who own everything and bomb everywhere without asking questions, like maybe? I havent quite pieced it together. #monsterdon #mothra

IN Britain middle aged ladies roll around war memorials on Saturday night like Mothra is doing with the Tokyo Tower

You go Girl!

#Monsterdon

Yeah but why are trucks and tanks flying thru the air?

#monsterdon #mothra

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

someday I hope that I, too, have reason to villain-laugh so closely to my mob boss while they also villain-laugh

@GeoffWozniak Mothra cares not for efficiency, only efficacy and style

As the kids say, she's aura farming

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou well, yeah!

#monsterdon #mothradon

Is this really an efficient way to retrieve the fairies? #Monsterdon

man, i don't know if those keitora can get up enough speed to escape mothra. maybe mothra can have mercy on those, at least. tiny trucks are too cute to wreck.

#monsterdon

Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh. #Monsterdon #Mothra

#monsterdon "This is a real victory for the atomic heat ray!"

Let's hope they can keep this momentum going for the play-offs!

@Lazarou the Tokyo Tower is just two days away from retirement, it'll be alright

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon A replacement Tokyo for an equal or greater Tokyo.

The two awkward soldiers in that shot, Biggs and Wedge are a multiversal constant, huh? They exist everywhere. #Monsterdon

STOP SHOOTING MOTHRA'S NUTS

#monsterdon #mothradon

Mothra's ♫ making her way downtown ♫

#Monsterdon

This movie's off the charts, but kudos to the special effects. #Monsterdon

Shit's really hitting the fan now right on :blobrainbow: #Monsterdon

Peanut #monsterdon

the model stuff looks pretty good!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

#Mothra attacks with SILK!

The Peanut!

#Monsterdon

I feel that Japan's longstanding cultural affinity for insects contributes to Mothra ultimately being a sympathetic kaiju rather than being portrayed as merely a horrific beast. In this essay I will

#Monsterdon

hehehe cute tanks

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon nooooooo not the Bireley's!! Not the Mobilgas!!!!

@OldRustBucket It's like the Golden Gate Bridge of Japan

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

We're seeing all sorts of early helicopters too!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

SILK SPITTING!

Jesus, Nelson. Once a human trafficker always a human trafficker, I guess. #Monsterdon

🦖#MONSTERDON 🎞️

⁉️ TRIVIAZILLA 🦋 🏙️💥🐛

Mothra's silk was created by dissolving rubber paste with thinner to produce "expanded Polystyrene". That liquid was sprayed through an airbrush installed in the larva's mouth.

🚨 This material burned the skin of the unfortunate crew members caught in its way.

#Mothra1961

@Lazarou Actually convincing
