#monsterdon Thanks to @Taweret and @miru for the stream!

Thanks 🙏 to @Taweret

@saucerlost I hope this is how the USA ends, it seems quite plausible

#Monsterdon

@Binder
This is all getting needlessly messianic!

Tubi recommending the logical next choice for viewing after Solarbabies: season 1 episode 1 of Everybody Hates Chris

#monsterdon

Oh, Smokey, what were you thinking? That theme song is pretty bad.
#monsterdon #SolarBabies

@CactuarJoe ZARKORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

#monsterdon

#monsterdon so the whole Nazi org was just the one guy who bullies kids at the orphanage, that was lucky

Would something not need bowels to be disemboweled?

#monsterdon

End credits, and the Solarbabies fuck off into the ocean. Thus is the proper Monsterdon ending used.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Outside, the #SolarBabies see a thundercloud appear because water has returned, somehow. Then Bodhi escapes his orb and returns to his planet in shooting star form. Rainbow Hat announces that Bodhi is everywhere now. Then the whole team's hands glow and they touch each other.

Conclusion: all the Solarbabies now have parts of a Vorlon inside them. If they go to Zha'ha'dum, they will die.

#monsterdon

I wonder what the eco-warriors are up to

#monsterdon

If they know how to swim... #monsterdon

heh, heh heh
heh
heh heh

#Monsterdon

But Bodhi still possesses the Earthling youth! All Hail Bodhi!

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

This movie depended very heavily on post-production voice overs and redubbing. Like they had no idea what they were making until all the filming was done.

#monsterdon

"It's more than just a thunderstorm. Water is free again. It's free."

this movie was made in California, wasn't it

#monsterdon

Unwilling to repeat this mistake, the Evil General just picks up Rainbow Hat and asks him "is this your ball?" which is a perfect line. 10 out of 10, no notes.

But then he is pushed into the torture robot and crushed. The Evil Son frees him, but it is too late, he is already crushed.

Then the evil fortress collapses due to the lack of its load bearing villain as the #SolarBabies escape.

#monsterdon

ET Fuck Off Into Space

#monsterdon

The orb was within you the whole time!

#monsterdon #solarbabies1986

They let the magic smoke out

#monsterdon

RELEASE THE KRAKEN #Monsterdon

We get a fun scene where the Torture Robot is selecting the right drill bit to drill into the orb. Then later it overheats and explodes.

Then the #Solarbabies rollerblade in to the evil fortress and smash up the robot. Rainbow Hat goes to rescue Bodi; the Evil Son tries to shoot him but gets tackled. Then the orb turns red and blue. The Evil Science lady tries to take the Orb from Rainbow Hat, but it burns her hands.

#monsterdon

It's defending itself somehow! Impossible!!

Pushin' a dude down a manhole is peak 80s skater kid

#monsterdon

"Terminack can actually see the molecular structure. He'll find the flaw and punch home."

Look, it's obvious that we're supposed to find this robot thingy threatening, but it's just so floppy and janky that I can't even work up sympathetic concern about it. It's like five pairs of pliers duck taped to mop handles.

#monsterdon

We put you in a cage ... with your skates on.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

I'm not sure if it's a flaw in this movie or a thing I missed, but I have no idea why the evil people want to laser open and scramble this orb.

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

"Now, Terminac will introduce the orb to ancient Earth dental technology"

#Monsterdon

...now the robot wants to play chess with it?

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

Damn, Daniel #Monsterdon

I guess they had the pole-vaulting pole with them all along?

#monsterdon

I think dude's highest stat isn't INT, it's LUK. #Monsterdon

ok but a rollerskate/polevault competition might be fun to watch

#monsterdon

Now it's a rollerskating pole-vaulting flick

#monsterdon

With all these lasers flying around I don't think those little face masks will do much

Building a robot sadist is something a tech bros would do

Dude chooses his AI girlfriend over real life and wet human girl

#Monsterdon

The desert people have a secret garden thing with a giant glacier that provides them with water. Their boss is named Greentree because he's a druid and we learn the One Girl is his daughter and this is a secret elf village the Evil Government doesn't know about.

They used to be Eco Warriors but they lost the war with the Evil Government and so far are hiding and making babies.

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

Several of the actors in this flick were in the terrible "Dune" movie of 1984.

#monsterdon

HOW MUCH TIME, EXACTLY DID WE SKIP

#monsterdon

The Evil General has brought his Vorlon prisoner to the Evil Science Lab, where the Evil Science Lady says that her analysis of the orb will take time, but implies she will carnally entertain him in the meantime.

Meanwhile, the #SolarBabies boys have been captured by the Australians and are threatened homoerotically before being tied up and forced to walk along a rickshaw.

#monsterdon

uhoh the white Jawas!

I keep confusing the two beefy blonde dudes with each other. #Monsterdon

That's got to be a tiring way to escape

#Monsterdon #SolarBabies1986

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a glowing sphere.
#monsterdon

so did they shoot the interior of the tire-burning factory on two different days and the lighting crew didn't show up on the second one or

#Monsterdon

🎵 everybody was skate-punk fighting, their kicks were fast as lightning 🎵

#monsterdon

Ok NOW their hair looks realistic

#Monsterdon

I see they've got their Sixth Ranger, that's good. #Monsterdon

We're all upset about the owl murder tbh

#Monsterdon

Why isn't everyone tanned to the point of old leather?

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

#Monsterdon 🌞 👶 👶 👶 👶 😱 #Solarbabies

honestly the hair person for this movie has a lot to answer for

EXECUTE BODHI 66

#monsterdon

That 'acting' seems very much why, starting from around age 10, I thought 'children’s theatre' was adding insult to the injury of childhood.

#SolarBabies

@Taweret instead we get n95 masks in our future 😩

#monsterdon

just squeezin' someone else's potatoes

#monsterdon

what's the going rate for getting tied in shibari amid the desert wastes? do you pay for that in bottle caps, water rations, or what? asking for a post-apocalyptic friend

#Monsterdon

…and we're back into Mad Max on roller skates. It's a town made from wreckage, but with nice smooth rollerskating surfaces.

#monsterdon

"Could it destroy the sphere of Longinus?"

"Sure, I'll tie you up if you can afford it." :eyethink: :eyethink: :eyethink: :eyethink:

#monsterdon

Meanwhile the #SolarBabies are hanging out in a cave and then they find an old mural of "Eco-Warriors" (who are painted like Great Plains Amerindians instead of the ninjas we saw earlier) fighting the evil government.

#monsterdon

Ha! All the characters look like they're from '80s new wave bands.

#monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie That would be pretty wild if society collapsed in the middle of the World Cup so you just had these random pockets of now eternally-stranded international tourists.

#monsterdon #SolarBabies

look, this is a better movie than Battlefield Earth at least....

#Monsterdon

Prehistoric cave paintings of cybertrucks

#monsterdon

Oh good, thousand-year old Schlitz :/ #Monsterdon

whoa
literal torment nexus

#monsterdon

Ooh, it's a rat dispenser! #Monsterdon

The next day Rainbow Hat wanders into the wreckage of the Chikani village and the #Solarbabies catch up with him and give him uppies. They find the dead owl and are sad.

Meanwhile, the evil bumper car limosine for the evil general and his son arrives at the evil fortress, where they keep their australian stereotypes in a cage. They go inside to torture the village chief by tying him up and covering him with illusory bugs.

#monsterdon

Snitches get stiches....

#Monsterdon

...The Sphere of Longilus.

Uh huh. #Monsterdon

"The Sphere of Longiness" I see why Bodhi changed their name.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

Bounty hunter day laborers? is this some kind of comment? :/

#monsterdon

Does the E-vans bit mean that they're supposed to be solar electric vehicles?

The owl is not what it seems.

I mean are we sure 2040 isn't going to look like this?

#Monsterdon

After rollerblading down the smooth and easily followed road, the #SolarBabies find themselves pursued by evil dystopian bumper cars. One looks kind of like a WW2 german halftrack on wheels and the other is the strange trimaran thing we saw before.

Anyway, a canyon is in our way and the only way across is a bridge with a hole in it, so we have to rollerblade over it. The baddies try to pursue by launching motorcycles from their trimaran car, but they crash and explode.

#monsterdon

Oh, nice, giant desert demon head :D #Monsterdon

This soundtrack is trying very hard to channel Wendy Carlos's TRON œuvre

#monsterdon

It's a good thing the fascists let Darstar keep his falconing glove.

#monsterdon

we had to work an explosion in somehow, you know. Union rules.

#Monsterdon #Solarbabies1986

#Monsterdon Ha! The bad guys in cars are more all-terrain than our heros on ~foot~ skates.

Solarbabies assemble!
