Giant roast peanut time! #Monsterdon

I'd want to read the safety warnings in the user's manual for that Atomic Heat Gun before firing that thing up #monsterdon

bit of a fast count there ken but i'll allow it

#monsterdon #mothra

"I looked directly at the rays, Ray" #Monsterdon #Mothra

Everyone put on your eclipse glasses. #monsterdon

that one tank like, "nevermind, i'm outta here." #Monsterdon

I was in my attic today looking for something and stumbled across a little black and white tv my grandmother bought me for my birthday when I was 5 or 6. It’s the one I first watched this, and many other monster movies on. I brought it down and plugged it in and the damn thing still works. #Monsterdon

It's got giant ketchup tanks, it's more of a KAZER. #Monsterdon

are these masers dalek powered?

#monsterdon #mothra

atomic hair dryer #monsterdon

maybe we should just give the kaiju back her fairies and stop doing things to piss her off more idk

#monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 Don't forget the critique of colonial rule #monsterdon

Masers. Looking good. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Damn, those white bombs on the artillery pieces were modeled on a nuclear round the US developed for "tactical use."

#MONSTERDON

@Zerofactorial It's okay Tokyo, you can just try again in a few movies...? #Monsterdon

IT'S A PEANUT #monsterdon

[lone confused barking dog] is the star of this scene

#monsterdon #mothra

@Zerofactorial Well, Mothra and the fairy twins are clearly a feminist revenge fantasy, so the tearing down of the tokyo tower is a direct threat of emasculation. In this thesis I will

#monsterdon #mothra

That's actually pretty nice mixing of miniature and live action stuff with the tanks in the street.

And Mothra takes out the Mobil gas station!

#Monsterdon

@trixter That's not silk! 😬 #Monsterdon

see now that is is in cocoon phase you can just sort of put it outside #monsterdon

Nice tower destruction by caterpillar Mothra! #Monsterdon

If a giant caterpillar as tall as a Godzilla comes to town, maybe even the military should run away. It's more armored than your tanks.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

What is the deconstruction of the tower a metaphor for, really? #monsterdon

SPITTING IS FOR QUITTERS. #monsterdon #mothra

Helicopter pilot training 101: Don't fly into the silly string. #Monsterdon #Mothra

@CactuarJoe The tower, the tower?! RaKaijuu! #WrongQuote #wrongMovie #Monsterdon

$50 fine for spitting. #monsterdon #mothra

ah, the beauty of nature's silly string

#monsterdon #mothra

You see, when a kaiju and a tower love each other very much….. #Monsterdon

you, uh, you might need more than one firetruck for that #monsterdon

I'm surprised the tower can withstand all those missiles and shells.

#monsterdon

Man, maybe the JSDF would be more effective if they stopped recruiting Ken. #Monsterdon

Mmm I am now hungry for some delicious Birelays... things.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

these people need to read some books that pupa is just trying to get to a place where it can make a cocoon and you can deal with it much more peacefully then #monsterdon

Did they put monsterproofing into the spec for Tokyo SkyTree?

#MONSTERDON

@peterdrake Seven! people in a suit.

#monsterdon #mothra

Only thirty minutes left, and still no Mothra, just Caterpillar Mothra.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Is Mothra (larval stage) a puppet or several people in a pantomime-horse-style suit? #monsterdon

@arisummerland He's the real Jiro of this movie! #Monsterdon

Kid in a pinata chicken rescues the Fae Sisters.

#Monsterdon

@forestine @joewynne oooo, good question!

#monsterdon #mothra

nelson literally can't get our of the car without trying to Style it up. loser. #Monsterdon

@joewynne is this the first time a kaiju smashes tokyo tower? #monsterdon

@sean Ref just glares, back to you Jim! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Let's air out the WWII grievance that the JDF is useless. Against Monsters.

Okay, this kid is badass. Following in his dad's footsteps.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

I report bingo! #Monsterdon

Snapping Turtle saves the baby!

#Monsterdon

@YsengrinWolf A call back to Battleship Potemkin's Odessa Steps #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe You know, if they were really mobile, they could just move! #OscarGetsAredCard #monsterdon

toy tanks are useless against mothra

#monsterdon

Aw yeah, Mothra rampage! C'mon Momthra, squish the tanks! #Monsterdon

WHAT? NO MAZERS?! #monsterdon #mothra

fuck up their shit, mothra

#monsterdon

Is that product placement? Did Mothra avoid the Texaco to stomp out the Mobil station? #monsterdon #mothra

look I love the models here the models are fucking FANTASTIC #monsterdon

Oh man, i love those three-wheeled taxi cab things. They're adorable. #Monsterdon

Ahhh, the ol' hide in a chicken trick!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Akihabara is really busy this time of ni - oh, shibuya, never mind

#monsterdon #mothra

Oh nice, Mobil Gas sponsored the film so they get crushed first <3 #Monsterdon

There we go - now I'm at the baby-on-the-bridge scene

#Monsterdon

screw you, mobile oil!

#monsterdon #mothra

Wait, the kid is Shinji? #monsterdon

dang that flyover miniature set

#monsterdon #mothra

that poor dude trying to evacuate them, like, bro if you get killed i'll be the one having to do the public apology, could you get off the bridge please. #Monsterdon

It's important to always wear a distinctive piece of clothing, so people can find it after an action scene. #monsterdon

Tokyo. Of course it's headed for Tokyo. If god himself wanted to stomp someplace flat, it'd be Tokyo. #Monsterdon

It's taking a long time to get to the effects shots, but when we get there they are _primo_. #Monsterdon #Mothra

oh dang an actual texico

#monsterdon #mothra

*Now* Nelson wants the Fae Sisters to shut up.

#Monsterdon

Time for CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS! #Monsterdon #Mothra

this our first plane of the movie? #monsterdon

🦋 Metamorphic Trivia 🦋

The Mothra caterpillar suit for land was the largest Toho had ever produced: 7 meters long. It required 5 to 6 actors inside to move it.

#Monsterdon

@trixter Get in the Mothra, etc etc #Monsterdon

Oh dam.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Actually, that scene was shocking. A Japanese kid snuck into a secure location and not only did NOT get away clean but actually got restrained! By ADULTS! O_O #Monsterdon

@arisummerland "... at least I have a husband!" #WrongMovie #monsterdon

...did they just bury the kid under some folding chairs? #monsterdon

CHEEZE IT, IT'S THE COPS

#monsterdon #mothra

When I was young I was certain the “kid” was Speed Racer’s younger brother. #Monsterdon

That's a nice bridge model. #Monsterdon

So straight up child abuse, that's how you know he's a bad guy. #monsterdon #mothra

@blogdiva Mothra is her preferred name after she's transitioned to her adult form #monsterdon

@paco in Kaiju Tradition, just putting children in harm's way right from birth #Monsterdon

Oh sure, gag him with your used tighty whities D: #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The fat kid with the mouse is the hero?!

Is that the Texaco logo on his jacket? #Monsterdon

did he pick up those tea cups just so he could drop them? i mean points for dedication to the bit, but minus several million for style, ne?#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe That's Gorges! 🤓 --John Lithgow #monsterdon

see what i am saying the CHILDREN WILL SAVE US #monsterdon

@CactuarJoe i really like him and wish he was in more of these #Monsterdon

Whoops, Chocobo spy #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Refugees with handcarts.

@joewynne No bridge is safe now #monsterdon

Stock footage of jet fighters taking off. Now we're looking at twin propeller bombers. Oh, NVM, here are the jets.

Mothra larva laughs at flaming water.

#Monsterdon

Man, they're really playing square guy up as a badass, I'm surprised. He's not the conventional shape for a hero of this era. #Monsterdon

@Zerofactorial
I smell rubble!

#Monsterdon

what...just put that anywhere, I guess #monsterdon #mothra

I got [pants] your baby [pants] and [pants] your cheese wheel

#monsterdon #mothra
