we had more closure on the volcano than the bugs #monsterdon

"it was always said of Rodan that he knew how to keep christmas well. may that truly be said of us..."

#monsterdon

As a precaution they should have prepared a round consisting of a kiloton of Maalox to drop into the crater just in case #monsterdon

Oh no they’re dying together 😭 #monsterdon

This guy's bad reading is absolutely ruining this narration

"I wondered if I could die as well" and "holocast"

#Monsterdon

they died because they were in LOVE and now they are LEARNING from their death????? and the lesson you take from this is that we need to make sure to always kill everything?????? #monsterdon

The JSDF has such heroic music. But they never succeed against that overly large god monsters.
And my brain is always trying to make up silly lyrics to the tune like "We've got some juice and lemonaid~"
#MONSTERDON

#Monsterdon Scientist CC: I wonder what Rodan yakitori would taste like?

Oh, good lava! Nicely done. Roman candle volcano's a little wonky, tho #monsterdon

oh I'm sure you can die as well, I mean, we all... oooooooh #monsterdon

@Louisa yeah they explained those away with one line and i MISSED IT #monsterdon

Thanks for explaining how we're supposed to feel about the movie, narrator

#Monsterdon

So much narration
#monsterdon

Let’s stand on this exposed hilltop as the monster flies in. #Monsterdon

Rodan from the cave mouth "Hey, do you MIND!???" #monsterdon

that volcano was their house damn it! typical move by the state. #monsterdon

Mm, devil's food cake dirt. Delicious. #monsterdon

Well fuck that jeep right into a mountain.
Maybe Kong will save us?
#MONSTERDON

But I really want to know whatever happened to the traumatized newlyweds. Did they have to split up? #monsterdon

What is that reporter writing? He should consider using that camera.

#monsterdon

“‘How’s the battle going??’ Not great, Bob!” #monsterdon

you got your "bcschhewwaahh" "ptyewwwwh" and your "ssshhhhhaaaaggh" #monsterdon

idk i feel like some of these repeated shots could've been in the 10 minutes you cut
#monsterdon

so, like, boyfriend dude underwent retrograde amnesia and brain surgery in the first third of the movie, and the point was...? #monsterdon

@coriander 100% #monsterdon

You show that rock wall who's boss #monsterdon

@KanaMauna NO. MUST USE MISSILES. #Monsterdon

i count 3, maybe 4 unique rocket sounds #monsterdon

The mountain wasn’t exactly moving very fast, couldn’t have just driven up with some charges, and drove away. #monsterdon

Jamie and Adam, off in the distance, hoping the high-speed camera operator got the shot #monsterdon

Like wow that landslide actually looks real because it's real dirt and not something from a video game

#Monsterdon

Chekhov's Volcano over the mantlepiece #monsterdon

More...More....More!!!
#monsterdon

This has exactly what I want from these movies: Very good models and very bad science. #Monsterdon

Ah, now they're moving the experimental proton cannon into place and linking it into the combined power grid of all Japan. #monsterdon

@bunnyhero @coriander It's like the choice faced by everyone who discovers they've been born into a sumo wrestler's body #monsterdon

THE HIIIIIIILLS ARE ALIIIIIVE WITH THE SOUND OF ROOOOOOODAN #monsterdon

If Rodan was hatched from an egg down in a mine why is the film called "Giant Monster from the Sky?" #monsterdon

Boston marathon is well-attended this year, huh? #monsterdon

@strangefour Possibly as much as a MEGABYTE! #Monsterdon

Time for everyone to run past the camera again #monsterdon

Omg the size of that computer... it must have a whole RAM!
#MONSTERDON

@coriander one of my favourite quotes is by the director (Ishirō Honda): "Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy." #monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow This is one of those old jobs I end up wishing I could have. Building little models to destroy. #monsterdon

@moira @Zerofactorial F@çk yeah #MonsterDon

The unfortunate thing is that Gamera had been called away to guard some other part of the universe #monsterdon

"reptiles, a member of the snake family" hey professor where did you say you got your degree #monsterdon

That's a nice, pillowy map they've got there. Wonder what its thread count is. #monsterdon

So now the flying reptiles are snakes??? #monsterdon

and we only narrowly avoided massacring the conveniently placed SuperMegaTourGroup! #monsterdon

Reptiles are... a member of the... Snake family? 🤔 #Monsterdon

"Reptiles. A member of the snake family."

No?????

#Monsterdon

"reptiles, a member of the snake family"

is there someone else we can talk to?

#monsterdon

@moira Has anyone done a supercut of architectural models collapsing? Cause I'd watch that #monsterdon

...reptiles are a member of the snake family? #monsterdon

RIP that city. #Monsterdon

NOW do we use masers?

#Monsterdon

Eat At Joes, Eat At Joes #monsterdon

Auntie Em! Auntie Em! #monsterdon

that was some first class kaiju destruction

#monsterdon

Those sets with all the miniatures blowing apart most have been Glorious Chaos. I don't envy the interns that had to clean those up. #Monsterdon #rodan.

#Monsterdon That's not the stare at the impending approaching menace siren!!!

army literally doing nothing but making them mad lol #monsterdon

this is amazing.

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial _Exactly_. It was the bridge deck that really set it above and beyond. Great work from the modelmakers. #monsterdon

Rodan appears to be doing the Funky Chicken #monsterdon

He haw! #monsterdon

This military operation cost five whole box tops. #monsterdon

damn. the models are good in this

#monsterdon

rodan is screaming this city apart! #monsterdon

Rodan appears to have ~60 nipples #monsterdon

Does that sign say “Gamera?”? #monsterdon

rodan's kind of got that vampire in a leather cape style action going #monsterdon

@jonny It's like Banshee from X-Men! #Monsterdon

why do the tanks make lil pew pew noises?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon The 13th Kamakaze Wing goes into action.

Nice bridge deck collapse 5 stars #monsterdon

that car was utterly obliterated #monsterdon

Rodan’s doing its signature “punishment pass” #monsterdon

yeeeesssssss city model destruction time, the best time #Monsterdon

Amazing work with those miniatures, looks better than most superhero movies today. #monsterdon

The scale of the baby Rodan puppet eating the teeny tiny bugs that murdered a dozen men is a nice escalation of the size of the horror.
#MONSTERDON

in this universe, acoustic waves are the same thing as wind, which explains why the shockwaves destroy buildings and also how rodan can fly by screaming #monsterdon

If this was made now there'd be like 100 people in the street making TikTok videos. #Monsterdon #rodan

@trixter It was filmed on Taco Tuesday #monsterdon

asahi beer! everybody #drink #monsterdon

rodan must be jet powered because i aint seen those wings flap. #monsterdon

Mad props to a superior bridge model #monsterdon #rodan

Yes, we all knew the bridge was doomed.

#monsterdon

Okay, flag on this play. This is flagrant abuse of stock footage, compounded by ex- that is the THIRD TIME you have played the SAME plane exploding! Stop showing it, you spent that nickel! #monsterdon

again, beautiful model work. that was a damn fine bridge collapse. #monsterdon

Uh oh, the water is Godzilla's turf! #Monsterdon

Aww the bugs give hugs~
And someone's egg just cracked. Good for her.
#MONSTERDON

#Monsterdon Good old radiation=giant kaiju trope.

wait, did they reuse that bridge shot?

Or was it just in the trailer?

#monsterdon

@Taweret R̶̪̯̀̋̒o̷͎̓ḑ̸̹͖̜̺̪̦̾̇̇̀̎̽a̷̡̮̘̟͓̫̽͊́̓̂̚͜n̴̝̫̼̻̭̯̎͆͑͑̃̃́ #monsterdon

…why would I immediately think the egg came from space #monsterdon

You don't want to know what those Rodan contrails really are. #Monsterdon

OK so based on the sound Rodan actually does have a jet engine, so at least that explains the contrail. Maybe an internal nuclear reactor like godzilla, but powering a steam turbine? #monsterdon
