Buildings in Tokyo apparently built using pre-stressed bedsheets of enormous size. #Monsterdon

I'm not a biologist but I didn't think caterpillars hatched from eggs.
(Edit: Calcified oblong eggs like a bird or snake was what I had in mind, but yes the do come from eggs.) #monsterdon

Because the Faeries won't stop singing their Kaiju summoning song, the evil Russamericans are trying the shoebox plan and put a glass box around the faeries to hopefully hide them from Mothra.

#monsterdon

So Mothera busts down the dam and then just… fucks off I guess? #Monsterdon

A Trojan Chicken!
#Monsterdon #Mothra

That's Shibuya? They rebuilt it pretty nicely after this. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

⁉️ TRIVIAZILLA 🦋 🏙️💥🐛

These are the most detailed and intricate miniature effects work of any Toho production up until that point.

Japanese fans were treated to the Mothra larva traveling through known Tokyo neighborhoods: Ome Kaido, Dogenzaka, and Shibuya, depicted in massive sets built at a 1/20 scale.

#Mothra1961

@paco apparently the regenerative braking is so effective you barely need real breaks

(you still need them but)

#monsterdon #mothradon

Miru’s stream must be behind some viewers, because we’re just now getting to the endangered baby and the breaking dam

#Monsterdon

M'awww! Look at the sweet widdle bebe!! #Monsterdon #Mothra 🪰🎥

@GroupNebula563 yes thank you, that's the one. (^_^)

#monsterdon

this is some quality city destruction

#monsterdon

Mothra is still in her snouty worm stage. #Monsterdon

This scene of urban destruction brought to you by Mobilgas. When you need shit blown up, think Mobilgas. #Monsterdon

how long did it take them to realise the baby wasn't there?!

#Monsterdon

She's just gonna do the worm all the way to Tokyo huh? #monsterdon

C'mon Momthra, blow shit up! :D #Monsterdon

Mothra is really like caterpillar-ra, isn't she. I mean, I see no wings.
#Monsterdon
#Mothra

i think they should stop hurting mothra

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

there are a lot of very colorful floral arrangements in this film I did not expect that

The kid Shinji is like, "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you."

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Tied up, and *then* covered in furniture. How cruel. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

I love how all the cracks in the movie are fully just painted on whatever: the egg, the dam, etc.

#Monsterdon

*i shall do the thing harder* meme

#monsterdon

FAIRIES RELEASED VIA COURT ORDER

#monsterdon

I don't know if 'directly beneath it' is the OSHA standard dam inspection site. #Monsterdon

He was hiding in a chicken. #monsterdon

give the people what they want, Mothra

destroy the infrastructure!

#Monsterdon

@Lazarou ACAB then as now. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

I'll hide in this giant chicken suit and release the Norns telepathy. This movie has gone to plaid.

what would happen if you just let the fairies...out?

#monsterdon

His brother’s name is Jack. Captain Jack. He’ll take you to your special island.

#Monsterdon

Anyone know what all the planes in this movie are? I think the fighter jets are F-86 Sabres, but I'm not sure what the things uselessly dropping depth charges on Mothra are.

#monsterdon

The onigiri heard chomped from around the world.

#monsterdon #mothra

*picks up bowls and then drops them, for dramatic effect*

#Monsterdon

@GeoffWozniak dam bursting, on no there is a baby, baby saved

#monsterdon

i want those daifuku mochi (or whatever they are)

#monsterdon

Water always looks the same size. #monsterdon

Mothra's only weakness, lamp. #Monsterdon

These guys are walking without rhythm

#Monsterdon

Send Mothra to save the Twin Cities.

#Monsterdon

I’ve not yet seen any wings yet. Is this caterpillara? Mothrapillar? Of course caterpillars hatch from eggs.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

reporter saves the day again!

#monsterdon

Surprised Nelson didn't toast "to Evil!"

#Monsterdon

"Fire!"

"No, water. See? It's wet and blue."

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I think at this point the 100-minute cut and 90-minute cut are properly desynced :blobfoxangrylaugh:

#Monsterdon

OH LAWD SHE COMIN

#monsterdon #mothra

I don't think Mothra has grown her wings yet

#Monsterdon

conventional weapons have no effect! everybody have a cookie.

#monsterdon

Worse securing of the baby ever. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

MOSURA is coming THROUGH the giant concrete dam gooooo masura!

Not a bad dam disaster scene, actually. Usually here on #Monsterdon the dams we get are more like darns.

Get it girl. Fuck that dam up!

#Monsterdon

These miniatures are some of Toho's best ever. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Oh dam!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Does anyone want to even guess as to how they put together such elaborate teeny tiny dresses and jewelry? No? Nah, me neither.

aw I thought Mothra was going to stick out her tongue and chomp the fighter jet

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

ah, a red line on a map, that's never good.

#monsterdon

When you are concerned about a dam, stand at the bottom to ponder it.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon However, I do like the scenes where one person says "Mothra" and everyone else says "Mothra?"

"Blocks all forms of wave energy" and yet you can see through it

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Wait you can drop bombs without a cartoonish whistling sound? Who knew?
#monsterdon

Mosura is their El Guapo.

#monsterdon

To be fair, just saying how you want things to be and grinning evilly has a pretty good track record for this guy. #Monsterdon

The fairies are all … “well, this is the found out part”

#Monsterdon #Mothra

what is in the box?

pain.

and fairies.

#monsterdon

Okay, this fight was adorably choreographed.

#Monsterdon

the dude has moves...

#monsterdon

Short king in a chair is my favorite security system

#Monsterdon

Okay so telepathy is just radio. I'm glad someone finally said it. #monsterdon

They're dropping cans of beef broth on Mothra, you bastards! #Monsterdon

why are we attacking it?

#monsterdon

obligatory futile conventional weapon attack!

#monsterdon

Nothing can stop her now?

Uh what if we take you back where you belong? No? We're not gonna just posit the most obvious solution. Okay.
#monsterdon

#monsterdon It's funny how Japanese movies are completely willing to give monsters a name. One person mentions the monster's name, and suddenly that's the official name being used by everybody.

In a USAian movie they'd all be saying things like "The unidentified life-form."

I don’t understand why Mothra swims instead of flies at first?? #Monsterdon

Do not sail between a bug and her girls.

#monsterdon #mothra

lol, Nelson is a such an asshole though, he's loving all this

#Monsterdon

TOY PLANES!! TOY PLANES!! It's been too long! #Monsterdon #Mothra

"Hard to port!"

"Which one is that?"

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

You'd think a tiny set could be more extravagant

#Monsterdon

reverse! reverse!
#monsterdon
#mothradon

Hrm, now the twins (are required to?) sing in Japanese?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

I forgot how happily doomer these fairies are

#monsterdon

@Terencio or perhaps the beast-stroke

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@blogdiva Jeez Liza. #Monsterdon

hashtag team sub gets more scenes 😤

#monsterdon

"This is going to kill it on Youtube Shorts" -Nelson (I assume) #Mothra #Mothera #Monsterdon

The newspaper is a weapon of war

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Really teeny tiny Babel Fish…

#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon

Trippy flying carriage to swimming Mothra sequence!

twinkle twinkle blink blink blink

now your ship is gonna sink

#monsterdon #mothradon

So, the thing is that you discover a society of 3mm tall humanoids and you ask no questions, kill most of them, abduct 2 of them. And your first instinct is to put on a stage play. #monsterdon

#monsterdon We can't let you see them... they aren't done yet, in my pants. ;)

forbidden jelly bean
#Monsterdon

The normal-size people dancing the Mothra-summoning dance probably would have made a better show than the fairies

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

Okay, but I'm not entirely uncertain that choreography didn't have some elements of European court dancing

#Monsterdon #Mothra

@paco
Sometimes I wish life was more like this.

MOSURA!!
