@apLundell@octodon.social Hey, probably a stupid question, but I've been trying to participate in #monsterdon and always miss the start. Is there a particular account that kicks things off each week? (I've tried to look through the posts for a clue but there are SO many each week)

What's this I see? #monsterdon

@SeanAloysiusOBrien They clearly are of the opinion Belvira was seduced by bad girl fashion and isn't irredemably evil #monsterdon

Also let's not forget the tens of thousands of people who definitely died when that dam collapsed but no mention was ever made of that #monsterdon

Maybe the moth fertilizer healed the tiny dragon also. He shouldn't have had to die after all #monsterdon

ty for joining, everyone!!!

#monsterdon

@robotcarsley It was carbon-neutral devastation #monsterdon

Mothra Sparkle Dust

Is there anything it can't do?

#Monsterdon

Oh hey, it was gonna take decades of hard work to restore the forest, but fortunately a benevolent demigod magically rejuvenated it! Looks like they resurrected all the dead animals too. Man, good thing we don't have to do a bunch of hard work to undo environmental devastation! #monsterdon

Good thing the trees grew back so when Dad is healthy he can cut them down again #monsterdon

i really kind of hoped it would just end with the barren burned land and them being like "welp we fucked up and our descendants have to live with it" #Monsterdon 🐘

Moth fertilizer is the best fertilizer #monsterdon

@Taweret it's ok the kids generally have better judgement than the adults in these movies anyways #Monsterdon

i feel like the environmentalist message would hit harder if the destruction had been caused by humans and not a magic space dragon

#monsterdon

@Taweret They're not the greatest parents #monsterdon

yes.... ride the MÖTH...... #Monsterdon 🐘

back in the 90s, parents would just let their kids go for rides on kaiju

#monsterdon

Good thing the final showdown happened within running distance from the hospital for Taiki and Wakaba #monsterdon

#monsterdon,

There. Problem solved, unless somebody decides to pick up a necklace they found in the woods.

Normally kaiju movies are pretty clear that nuclear weapons are bad, but that sure did look like Mothra nuked Ghidorah with a few bonus rainbow sparkles #monsterdon

saw Mothra II's abdomen and immediately thought of a zebra jumping spider

#Monsterdon 🐘

I'm thrilled that Mothra 2.0 still matches the upholstery of the living room furniture we had growing up in the 1970s #Monsterdon

aerial battle

nice

#monsterdon

"I'm back" #monsterdon

Lovely Kaiju Lullaby :blobmelt: #Monsterdon

I really sincerely appreciate Japan's passion for entomology #Monsterdon 🐘

#monsterdon You think the fairies just know these songs? Or do they have to practice them?

Oh good, a ten thousand year old cedar tree song #monsterdon

a lot of nice visuals in this honestly

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

This was still back when a character owning a cell-phone was how the writers let you know he was a self absorbed jerk.

The protester character would be more sympathetic if he didn't insist on chewing all the scenery #monsterdon

check out that brick-ass cell phone #Monsterdon 🐘

#monsterdon Kid, you're in a hospital. They've got sinks. You don't need to steal water.

on the archive.org page #Monsterdon 🐘

#monsterdon "What do you mean transform?"

The kid is a bit slow, isn't he?

MOSURA!!!! ;_;

#Monsterdon 🐘

Mothra is with Jack now #Monsterdon

Maybe they can do another recharge with the seal? #monsterdon

okay this is like honestly the saddest mothra death

and we've seen a few of them

#monsterdon

Kaiju Titanic Moment :blobcry: #Monsterdon

Mothra can't die with over a half hour left on the movie, no #monsterdon

#monsterdon "In the event of a water landing..."

Desughidorah self-own #monsterdon

Ohhhh shit

So much for that "reduced human cost" #monsterdon

Mothra PLEASE do not hover above the dam while taunting #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

I'm always amused by cliff edge scenes where people insist on clasping hands when there's actually plenty of hand-holds on the rock face.

You climbed this far, just go another three feet.

I wonder if this one happened entirely in an unpopulated area to make it more kid friendly by reducing the human cost #monsterdon

yeah that's just an elephant sound

#monsterdon

okay that's kinda brutal

#monsterdon

love the articulation on the caterpillar!

also, oh my god, is it spraying slime like a velvet worm??

#Monsterdon 🐘

If they saw the caterpillar hatch on the island, why did it have to swim across the ocean just to arrive back on the same island? #monsterdon

the fact that desghidorah's lightning is rainbow colored is a nice touch

#monsterdon

unfortunately a level one larva form mothra only knows the move string shot

#monsterdon

Girl just misgendered Mothra smdh #monsterdon

#monsterdon

If the girl knows how to use the medallion, why doesn't SHE do it?

I'm happy this movie is free of military types, but now would be a good time for a little help to show up #monsterdon

The Smol Ladies have sung it's gonna get real good now :ameowbongo: #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

In hindsight, I don't know why we expected a moth to kill a firebreathing dragon.

they didn't dub the songs…small mercies #Monsterdon 🐘

Oh, good, there's a backup Mothra. There's *always* a backup Mothra #monsterdon

i agree that desghidorah looks cooler than he has any right to #Monsterdon 🐘

larva form mothra gets its own song?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon "Where'd you learn to bind an ankle?"

Well, lady, I've got bad news for you. He has absolutely no idea how to bind an ankle.

I hope Mothra has a maser #monsterdon

im thoroughly enjoying all the creature effects

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

"Your children are safe." the fairies said.

A couple of pre-teens wandering through the woods on their own is perfectly safe, of course.

Desghidorah looks way cooler than it needs to for a kids movie

#monsterdon

@msh I feel like they wasted a lot of money on all the pyrotechnics, because they could have gotten away with just half as many #monsterdon

Such a badass Kaiju that they hit the budget wall and had to just use stock elephant sound effects SMDH #Monsterdon

mothra used stun spore

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Younger viewers might not realize, but back in the 90s you couldn't sing a song without a music video.

Their version of the Mothra Song slaps #monsterdon

What Would Mothra Do? #WWMD #Monsterdon

#monsterdon

You think they let the fairies keep the Barbie outfits?

mothra song time

hell yeah

#monsterdon

They know better than to put their trust in Godzilla stopping the space Ghidorah #monsterdon

#monsterdon

After all that, you're just giving it to a kid?

OK, Ghidorah is looking good as hell in this one #monsterdon

#monsterdon

You gotta feel bad for the visual effects guy whose boss said "Yeah, I know the movement doesn't match up, we're not doing a re-shoot. Just figure it out."

hey, the lighting matched in that composited nighttime flying shot #Monsterdon 🐘

Desghidorah knows how to make an entrance

#monsterdon

OK, that was literally just an elephant noise #monsterdon

I thought she was calling her husband "Luigi" but it's probably Ryuichi #monsterdon

#monsterdon

I had a control-line kite when I was that kid's age.

I never had the patience to learn how to pilot it.

I don't think it was ever in the air for more than ten seconds in a row.

#monsterdon, unfortunately since debris was thrown for thousands of ft, all our heroes were in the shrapnel zone and died horribly.

The end.

Sorry, I'm not buying that this wears a suit to the jobsite ass white collar manager is going to charge towards danger #monsterdon

#monsterdon

"Hey, you! Where did the dynamite go?"

That's a great line that will definitely have a perfectly reasonable answer.

#monsterdon

The ancients need to stop sealing away great evils and then forgetting about them.

How many video game protagonists have had to suffer because of this irresponsible attitude to monsters?

Maybe they should offer Fairy some moth food. Old sweaters or something #monsterdon

#monsterdon That timber businessman must be loaded. That house would be huge even in USA.

it is a bit confusing that the fairies named their mount 'fairy'

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Ah the 80s and 90s with their excellent practical effects, but their horrible compositing.

i'm trying to figure out how much is CGI vs. miniatures etc. i think the shots where the moths/dragons are very small & you can't see the riders in detail may be CGI? #Monsterdon 🐘

smol dragon puppet is so expressive

#monsterdon

I'm not surprised by the evil triplet, but man, the good fairies sure are carelessly slinging those plasma bolts close to those kids, huh #monsterdon

#monsterdon

Even the MUSIC is kinda Star Wars.

The smol Kaiju have smol lasers this is so awesome :blobaww: #Monsterdon

Why

Why do you keep calling the carved stone a fossil #monsterdon
