Thanks all! A great time as always! Thanks @Taweret for hosting!! #Monsterdon

What a classic #Monsterdon today. I had gotten too used to extremely dumb movies so this was refreshing. Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting!

Next week should be excellent 🙂

im glad mothra's line continues on, but I continue to feel real bad for gojira #Monsterdon

This kaiju battle is just satisfying storytelling compared to some of the other installments put out by Toho featuring longer lists of kaiju #monsterdon

@trixter We now know how many toddlers it would take to beat Godzilla

TWO

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Monsterdon

A good time was had by all (except for those killed in Tokyo)
#Monsterdon

godzilla didn't fuck off into the sea, he was fucked off into the sea there. #monsterdon

what a nice nice nice movie that was. :) bye everyone #monsterdon thanks @Taweret

We needed a proper kaiju flick this week and I'm glad we got one, thanks everybody and @Taweret for hosting!

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

And so another kaiju threat has been dealt with #Monsterdon

"Hurry. We'll be save up there."
Sorry lady but Godzilla is gonna make the whole island unsafe in about five minutes.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social #monsterdon
Thank you!
Good fun, as usual!

Now that's a proper fucking off into the ocean ending. And the Diet building made it through this one unscathed. Thanks everyone for a fun watch! and thanks as always for @Taweret for hosting! #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

And the Mothra larvae fucked of into the sea, as is right and proper. Good night, #monsterdon! We stan a fuzzy queen,

...Wait, that's it!? THAT'S THE END!?!?! THEY LITERALLY KILLED GODZILLA

WITH SILLY STRING???

WHAT

#Monsterdon

That was primo kaiju action. Well done all! See you next week! :D

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon As always Godzilla being way too relateable, this is me every single time I walk into a spider web I didn't see...

Oh, I get it, the grubs tied him up and threw him in the bay! Godzilla'll never mess with Cement Shoes Moth and Piano Wire Ra ever again! #Monsterdon

"Did someone say children?"
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon

The way Godzilla flaps around when the Mothra silly string hits him like "ew ew ew sticky ewww!" is fantastic this is rubber suit acting at its finest! #Monsterdon

Godzilla does not like it when you bite his tail. Bombs, tank shells, electricity, fire, he can handle, but do not bite his tail. #Monsterdon

man, godzilla just standing around, sighting his next target, and suddenly here's some angry babies on his tail - literally. poor guy. #monsterdon

Godzilla being thoroughly outwitted by a pair of newborn caterpillars here. #monsterdon

I think this is the most effective String Shot has *ever* been, anywhere. #Monsterdon

@LK_877 it's so cute! #monsterdon

only the silliest of strings for the Big G

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

It's a... pincer maneuver 🥁 #monsterdon

he must have a lot of nerve clusters at the tip of that tail

this has implications

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

The larvae are like Hello! My name is Mothra Montoya. You killed my mother. Prepare to die!

#Monsterdon

@gnomon radiation wakes him up and he Suffers. I really think the physical and figurative pain of his existence are what drive his rampages #Monsterdon

#monsterdon, honestly, the schoolkids are fine. Sending the boat just calls attention to them.

Baby Mothra A has learned BITE!

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

watching 2 worms on the dunes, this is basically dune 2 right #monsterdon

see this is when gamera needs to show up

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Hey, I think she laid twins in the egg! #MothraVsGodzilla #Monsterdon

Mothra twins!

#Monsterdon

aww it's grubra and larvra! #monsterdon

If Godzilla doesn’t stomp the greedy businessmen by the end of this I’m going to be VERY disappointed. #Monsterdon

It's twins!

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

This movie is testing my theory that every monster movie crowd fleeing scene in the 60s must include a guy wearing a red Gilligan shirt

#Monsterdon

and another musical-mothra-interlude...🎵

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

#monsterdon someone saw "20 mllion miles to earth" and was like "Let's show this Harryhausen how to net and electrocute a lizard"

Godzilla is secretly a cat that thinks the ground is just a big shelf that everything needs to be pushed off of.

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

plan C

#monsterdon

Those melting cables looked like actual wires with excessive current sent through them - albeit miniature. Nice effect - ditto the melting tanks! #monsterdon

i'm not enjoying the godzilla torture... you know he is already in pain *all the time* without that. that's why he's wandering around clumsily yelling and clawing at things #Monsterdon

OK, you guys are killing me with these comments...brb have to go breathe away from this scroll for a minute. 😆 😆😆

#MothraVsGodzilla
#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 4 of those big helio's. Plus Electric zaps. Plan B is pretty good.

I don't understand the point of the nets.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon Their switching substations wera already setup for monster-repelling? Wow. That's some planning.

#monsterdon PLAN B!

GODZILLA CRAVES A GIANT SCOTCH EGG!
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon

EGGSTREME TRIVIA

🦖🔥 Notice Godzilla's head on fire there? That's a famous scene. Toho had to have a second movie fast after this movie because, believe it or not, Kurosawa (!) was late on his movie.

🦖They started Ghidora, but had to put a new head on the rubber G-suit for that movie because of the short time frame ... and the melting.

#MothraVsGodzilla
#Monsterdon

"As we explained"

Look, if you people would just listen to the fairies, most of this could have been avoided.

#Monsterdon

Aww I kind of feel bad for Godzilla

#Monsterdon

omg look at those tiny tanks go #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Operation A feels like something they would have on Seseme Street. "One of the kaiju is not like the others. One of these kaiju just doesn't belong."

lol, are they just going to fall back and leave those two dudes to fight the monster?

#monsterdon

just imagine being in a heavy rubber monster suit standing in fire, your costume also on fire. big props to the suit actors #Monsterdon

hand drawn lightning!

#monsterdon

We were just agreeing over here that the Criterion Collection print is high-quality -- 4K? #monsterdon

@diazona @gnomon Egg-layers usually are #monsterdon

"All aircraft attack target! But leave the Bad Bath and Beyond alone - it's already dead!"

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@gnomon Translation issue maybe? I thought it was canonical that Mothra is female

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon HIgh on pollen, Godzilla rolls into a ditch?

@joewynne @raindrops_and_roses just follow the hashtags #monsterdon and #MonsterdonAlert (this one for info, polls and reminders)

#Monsterdon Box of tiny women (™) Solves a lot of problems.

mothra no :( it's not his fault he doesn't have a home... mothra the humans have already hurt him so much! #Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag @brooke Though to be fair this movie makes more sense than a lot of other ones we watch for #Monsterdon

uh-oh, the old girl is down

#monsterdon

And Mothra drags Godzilla back into the ring, she's got no respect for the man now, it's horrifying! How can you call this a legitimate sport, I'm Howard Cosell... #Monsterdon

Zooming in on Godzilla doing the Kubrick Stare, very good.

#Monsterdon

The first time you destroy sometime with your tail is an accident. The second, coincidence. More than that is malice. #Monsterdon

"Does this bug you? Does this bug you? DOES THIS BUG YOU?"

#Monsterdon

@joewynne Hi! Just found out about #Monsterdon. Are you the organiser?

@trixter I heard it was because the US distributor did not have rights to the name #monsterdon

Thinking laying that egg must be really hard for Mothra. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon GOT YER TAIL

@raindrops_and_roses @jsit @joewynne @Thomas Hooray!

#Monsterdon

Honestly both Mothra and Godzilla are both just having a bad day. This isn't anyone's fault.

Except for maybe capitalism. I don't think this would've happened if not for capitalism. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

"Yes, we always keep our promises. You will learn to fear that!"

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Getting annoying the dub keeps calling Mothra "The Thing!"

"Look, it's The Thing!" Bitch that is MOTHRA put some respect on her name! #Monsterdon

🤯 If you go the Mastodon "Explore" tab/column, my toot on SKELETURTLE is at the top (of all Masto toots at the moment).

🦖Absurdity rules in this watch party!

#MothraVsGodzilla
#Monsterdon

Godzilla says throw off the chains of capitalist oppressors
#Monsterdon

Go go Godzilla

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Now the capitalists are fighting! While Godzilla approaches!

(I'm on Godzilla's side, obviously.) #monsterdon

I know I bring this up every Mothra movie, but look how they're running around with that box!

There are two live barbie-scale girls in that box. No seats, no seatbelts, just two fairies.

IMAGINE how they must be bouncing around in there!

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Can someone explain the whole #Monsterdon thing to me? Much obliged.

Let them fight
#Monsterdon

"I'm not as afraid of Godzilla as I am of the Editor" Yeah. That's a news man allright. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

#monsterdon Capitalism stripped of its glamor

"I'm not as afraid of Godzilla as I am of [my boss]"

again too real

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

keep your eyes on the egg? so no one walks off with it?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Ah, I see. Industry: the cause of and solution for this current crisis..? Wait no, apparently it's not industry after all, it's tanks. Tanks are the solution for the crisis.

"Will it work?"

"Yes, I'm confident it will"

...there's your problem

#Monsterdon

We expect 0% success and 100% losses. #Monsterdon

Mothra is the sweetest kaiju #Monsterdon

The Mothra song is a combo of Malay and Japanese. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon MOTHRA MOTHRA MOTHRA MOTHRA MOTHRA

(lights off, everyone, just for safety)
