fukushima vibes #Monsterdon

the awesome power of nature can destroy even this flimsy tent! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon starts NOW! :ablobwobble:

Bug vs. Lizard...no contest?

You might be surprised!

Follow the hashtag to find out!

or filter it if you couldn't care less I dunno

when your restoration project is a miniature, you know that restoration isn't going to last long #monsterdon

Oh no, tomorrow's Fun Fair is RUINED #Monsterdon

i wish that intro sting would play when i walk into the room in a bad mood, to warn people #monsterdon

The American version is very disrespectful to Mothra, it's insulting. Calling her THE THING :/ #Monsterdon

Love starting #Monsterdon with that Godzilla theme, even though we know who the real star is this show is.

probably just mostly watching along tonight

but it's nice to see the sea into which we can all fuck off xD

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

no way, this opening track has been sampled somewhere in the hip hops, hasn't it? #monsterdon

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!

#monsterdon incoming - feel free to mute the hashtag if you'd rather not have both Mothra and Godzilla rampaging over your timeline for the next hour or two...

(But where would the fun be in avoiding that???)

@SRLevine #monsterdon I'll be honest I thought it's because they flew in on Mothra and were dressing up the way people used to dress up to get on a commercial flight in the 60's...

@ryan Right? Where do these padded, ornate, exactly the right size boxes come from? They're gorgeous. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

i only realise just now at this late hour that I should've been referring to moustache guy as Harry Dualshock tthe entire time xD

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@coprolite9000 Mothrata #monsterdon

@lytta yep goin' back to the beginning

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@brooke I feel like he was railroaded into a fight he never asked for #monsterdon

So Gojira next week? Get that poor lizard's origin story? 😭 #Monsterdon

So we end out broadcast day. And thank @Taweret for hosting another fun monster movie watchalong #Monsterdon

@gnomon

Great question...Godzilla arises and destroys...I have come to realize that, when my rose-colored glasses slip a bit, he is simply Insensate Evil.

#MothraVsGodzilla
#Monsterdon

@coprolite9000 @Taweret Hope you make it for next week's terrifically melancholy humdinger #monsterdon

@JoeWynne oh god I missed "Suck it, Harryhausen" xD xD xD

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Good night everyone! Amazing as always. Thanks @Taweret! #Monsterdon

Had monsterdon on the laptop and the Ducks/Preds game on the TV. One of these was significantly worse than the other.

(why couldn't Lankinen* have an off-night against the Silly Birds...)

*I assumed it was Saros because the goalie was doing well, my bad!

Looks like it will probably be 4-2 Preds over Ducks

@hnom
#Monsterdon
#FlyTogether #Smashville #NHL

@rwhe ...that _is_ what we're doing, isn't it? xD

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@coprolite9000 @Taweret I had also never seen the classics until #Monsterdon

oh no zapping him just made him even grumpier #monsterdon

@Andy I hate to break it to you, it was not team eepysnack #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Not enough female-identifying characters to give the Bechdel test much of a chance, and the fairies didn't have names anyway #monsterdon

And, a big thank you to @Taweret for another entertaining evening!

Grumpy Godzilla was most likely hungover (and clumsy).

#Monsterdon

Listen, we could make the world better or we could invest in construction company because Tokyo is going to need a lot of work...
#Monsterdon

@diazona @Taweret I love the blue mood of that film #monsterdon

"Shouldn't we thank them?"

"The only way to thank them is by making a better world."

"Oh, screw that then. Sayonara! "

#monsterdon

So ends another #Monsterdon. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and to all the posters and lurkers. And remember #Monsterdoners: Don't be discouraged; we'll write about this in the papers.

The moral of the story is that if you wake up hungry, the egg in front of you may not be the wisest choice. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@Taweret
Thank *you* for organising!

(Quite shamefully, this is the first of the classic Godzilla films I've seen. Thanks to #monsterdon, I am finally rectifying that long-standing omission.)

Having dispatched Godzilla with Nuclear Silly String the New Mothrii eff off into the ocean.

We must thank them by building a better world based on mutual trust.

But we won't of course :blobcheeky:

Still a good #Monsterdon thanks @Taweret for this evening's selection!

sayonara, mothra twins and also mothra's twins~ #monsterdon

Thanks all and particularly @Taweret for another fun evening! ❤️ #monsterdon

@apLundell 4th time is the charm!
#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe Go easy on him, he’d clearly had a rough night. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Uniess that island is on a volcanic trench, Godzilla rolled into water that's like knee deep. Scientists will be dissecting him for years. RIght?

Godzilla: Damn, them babies got hands actually. #Monsterdon

Godzilla fell off a cliff about as high as he is tall.

So we know he's dead and don't have to worry about him ever again.

#monsterdon

@moira We are in alignment #monsterdon

Thanks for saving us all, little grub caterpillars! Sorry about your mom (Mothra). #monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

jeez, these babies just don't quit. - godzilla, i think. #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza ...yes? What part of that is difficult to understand?

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

I was expecting a WHOLE OTHER FIGHT SEQUENCE! Mothra ALWAYS goes cocoon and THEN the final battle!

Who WAS this Godzilla, he got jacked by LITERAL BABIES #Monsterdon

@strangefour I envision a modern adaptation where the fairies are hip-hop artists

#Monsterdon

Yaaaaaaay! Mothra inspires a better world and goes home! #monsterdon

#monsterdon Fun show, thanks!

@Zerofactorial Like I said - good end! :D

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Too bad that Kurayama isn't around to see what came out of the egg he went and bought. Oh well, he's in hell now #monsterdon

alright another proper fucking off into the sea, thanks all for a great #monsterdon and to @Taweret for organizing!

wheee! the babies won!
and i'm off to bed. thanks for playing, folks!

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

... and the mini-Mothrae fuck off into the sea. Sayonara, friends! #monsterdon

Hah. When the grubs are knocked back, they fall like muppets.

You can tell they're pivoting at the pupeteer's shoulder, not where the grub would actually be touching the ground.

#monsterdon

Mothra awaken awaken go spin some silk you must be makin`.
#GodzillavsTheThing #Monsterdon

@Configures maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s several tons of grub spray capable of taking down Godzilla #monsterdon

There we go - wrapped up *and* fucked off into the sea.

#Monsterdon

So this scene just keeps happening, huh?

#monsterdon

And the mothra larva swim off into the sunset?

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@davesdogmaggie Clingfilm I think?

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

"...how was school today?"
"ummmmmm...."

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

What do they call this kind of porn? #Monsterdon

Godzilla is not so much webbed as wrapped in a sheet.

#Monsterdon

@ryan How MUCH of that spray do they have? #monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@sean lol this is way better than mine

#Monsterdon

Sillystring saves the day. #Monsterdon

Mothra's babies have such worried little faces.

#Monsterdon

mothra grubs make wrapstuff! (and it's weirdly effective!)

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Did you know the first developmental stage of a newly hatched baby Mothra is actually Spiderman

Er, Spiderbaby I guess

#Monsterdon

Wonder if Miss Kobayashi's first name is Maru?

#monsterdon
#MothraVsGodzilla

Stick and move baby Mothras. Stick and move. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

"EW, MORE BABY SPIT" -- Godzilla, probably

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@blogdiva baby barf is worse! #monsterdon

@gnomon seems like godzilla woke up like ‘where am i?’ with a bad hangover and is just trying to find somewhere to get coffee #Monsterdon

Spider-Grub, Spider-Grub,
Does what ever a Spider-Grub does,
Spins a web, any size,
Catches Kaiju just like flies,
Look out
Here comes Spider-Grub!

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

spray him before he reaches for the mothballs! #monsterdon

The twin caterpillars, that is ... Are they trying to save the schoolchildren? Really, the Mothra babies are pretty cute. I'm rooting for them! #monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

#monsterdon is the subbed version using the classic Godzilla theme? It sounds like they've taken liberties with the music a little for the dubbed one...

What will Godzilla metamorphize into if they cocoon him?

#monsterdon
#MothraVsGodzilla

i like how like all babies they look like grumpy old men

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Godzilla: GODDAMN GOPHERS #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Caterpies ... electrowebs! or String Shot! ... Okay, how about Bug Bite! ... Snore? Oh, come on, just do something, you two!

#Monsterdon. Everyone! Up to the highest part of the little boat! Crowd into the fly-bridge!

Great "What the SHIT!?" look on Big G's face when baby Mothra glommed onto his tail. #Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Heh, you can see the plastic joints on the Mothra grub as it whips around :P #Monsterdon

@annathepiper Honestly they're getting pretty good air even without wings

#Monsterdon

Godzilla has spent a lot of this movie in a panic about stuff on his tail.

#Monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

OH they're gonna do that, okay

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

Mothra used String Shot!

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie :ms_eyes: :ablobcatgooglymlemjumping: #monsterdon

If the Mothra caterpillars can't take out Godzilla maybe they could shriek loud enough to summon the Space Whales from Star Trek IV to help

#Monsterdon

what're the grubs gonna do tho

nibble his ankles to death?

#monsterdon #MothraVsGodzilla

@ryan Dune x Godzilla, the cross over we all want
#Monsterdon

Go Mothra grubs, go! #monsterdon

They’re… they’re doing the butterfly stoke. #Monsterdon
