"ISTG, Goro, if you say one more ignorant patronizing thing to me about how to act on my island..." #Monsterdon

The golf clap the mantis did was a sick burn #monsterdon

Just casually walk up to The Professor and don't tell him about the giant-ass spider you were running away from til it shows up. Great instincts!

#monsterdon

@lytta The swedes don't wear lederho... #WrongMovie #monsterdon

She's no Raquel Welch, but what a butt #MONSTERDON

It's all right now

[me: dude, movie's still got another 26 minutes]

[giant spider sprays them with giant spider silk]

[me: see?]

#monsterdon

RIP those white pants #monsterdon

Giant puppet of a finger, not giant finger puppet. Those are different things #Monsterdon

"Be quiet. I'm hunting wabbits!"

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

So, can spiders really shoot silk from their mouth? I'm pretty sure they cannot do that.

#monsterdon

I wonder what they used on the set to shoot the spider silk?

#monsterdon

i bet burning giant spider web smells TERRIBLE #monsterdon

More on the AgI MSDS:

"Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment."

Yeeeeeah I don't think this experiment was a particularly good idea #monsterdon

Kumonga spider accuracy:

- two body segments
- legs attach to cephalothorax
- power (spitting silk) found in real-life spiders (spitting spiders, family Scytodidae)

point subtracted for single claw on foot with no scopulae

result: PRETTY GOOD.

#Monsterdon

I couldn't tell if that was a giant finger puppet or if it was composited in. I hope it was real and someone just has it somewhere.#Monsterdon

Quick! squeeze into this tiny space so we can get webbed in here. #monsterdon

@lytta i also don't think they spray it usually but they also aren't usually giant either so lots of evolutionary novelty going on #monsterdon

huh didn't know spiders had trunks

#monsterdon

Shooting ONE of its legs is not gonna help at ALL, bud.

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe It's okay, these morons never try fire! #StillScarredFromMonthsAgo #monsterdon

Embarrassing to have a forty foot insect catch you by surprise like that #monsterdon

"How did the praying mantis get that big?" Because it wasn't already impossibly large *before*

#monsterdon

hmmm ambush predator spiders who hide in ground holes don't usually have sticky web, do they? #monsterdon ...and also I don't think web comes out the spider's mouth

Oh man, no, NEVER get silly string near an open flame D: #MONSTERDON

@Telstar He's growing up so fast #monsterdon

I could have believed that Sicnarf Loopstock was a mantis

#Monsterdon

what is the amount of time that has elapsed in this movie because the baby godzilla went from being like 3 feet long to now being like 15 ft. like if it's been months then that really strengthens the case that these researchers aren't actually researchers but are in exile on the island and the "research project" is just to keep them thinking like they're doing something important #monsterdon

honestly seems pretty immune to flamethrower too lmao

#monsterdon

Spiga uses Silly String. It's super effective. #monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Imagine being a small wrestler and then one day someone stuffs you into a little lizard costume with almost no visibility and threatens you with a giant pointy mantis marionette?
#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

And then the mantis killed Baby Godzilla in seconds because it's about three time his size. The End.

#monsterdon

Yep that's a spider all right. #monsterdon

The more difficulty he runs into, the harder he tries! Doesn't he know that difficulty means you should have an *easier* time? #monsterdon

@diazona Johnny Mantis does? #IcanHazSportsBall #Monsterdon

WEeeeee-eee-ee-eee we need to run away!

a-WEeeeee-eee-ee-eee we need to run away!

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Does Godzilla always have to turn his entire upper body to look around, like he’s Michael Keaton Batman?

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

we gotta get dad back here to step on his foot. #monsterdon

Saeko's knife sheath is leopard print. I don't know if it's weirder that they had a leopard print sheath with them when her family came to this island, or if this island *also* has leopards.

#Monsterdon

my dad's gonna beat you up!

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

@nev Cucamonga #monsterdon

smoke rings! #monsterdon

Never disturb giant spider’s nap

Also, it me

#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

#Monsterdon Wow. Clapping at his own move. That mantis is pretty full of himself.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the spider sleeps tonight

#Monsterdon

@paco ..it could be botox? #JustSpitballin #monsterdon

mantis bitch-slaps minizilla. audience cheers. #monsterdon

We're not laughing WITH you, little Godzilla #monsterdon

wow, sudden narration too, like we're watching a fairy tale and not a monster movie

#monsterdon

KUMONGA? #monsterdon

Oh I think we're about to get something depressingly wacky happening. #MONSTERDON

@RobynGoodfellow now i’m imagining a kaiju truman show #monsterdon

I don't understand how people can accidentally be surprised by monsters the size of buildings. #monsterdon

Baby horror VS huge bug.
Who will win? Is baby gonna cry?
#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Me: OMG, she is in so much danger, how tense!!
Movie: LOL, no, here is some comical music and Minilla!
#Monsterdon

what weak smoke rings. where's gandolf when you need him. #monsterdon

"...we meet again at last Mantis. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the leaner. Now, I am the Godziller!"

#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Welcome to Lake Sangria #monsterdon

in the jungle the quiet jungle the spygir sleeps tonight

in the jungle the quiet jungle the spygir sleeps tonight

a-ruuuuuuuuuuuuuu-uuuu-uuuu-uun it's time to run away

ruuuuuuuuuuuuun-uuu-uuu-uun it's time to run away

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Giant Mantis, Godzilla, everybody is dying with fever and the whole encampment destroyed, but when they shoot the Professor, that's the time to gom home!
#monsterdon

I was hoping she'd lead Gimantis to the giant spider friend. Ah well, maybe Gimantis 2?

#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Don't give up the experiment! I was really invested in how your phallic towers were going to ruin the environment. #Monsterdon

Minilla's playing Halo with the mantis GET IT ar ar ar ar ar ar ar ar

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

@CactuarJoe Isn't that redun... nuthin! #monsterdon

Those seams in the sky are really distracting. #monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Now that's what I call MACRO fauna #monsterdon

It's a shame they're giving up the experiment, but there might still be a chance at publication if you write a paper about the giant mantis.

#monsterdon

Is it just me or do the mantises seem to be getting bigger every time we meet one?

#Monsterdon

i love big mantis though lmao

#monsterdon

just gonna try freezing the whole island from a weather balloon, huh? what could possibly go wrong?

also, that's a different meaning of "weather balloon"

#monsterdon

@moira you may have beat me to that toot! #points #monsterdon

"...she went off to find me some herb"
"It's four-twenty somewhere!"

#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

I guess this is where the matnis crashed.... OH IT DIDN'T CRASH

#monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

Margaritaville shirt, khakis, and a straw hat straight off a plantation worker, and yet somehow on her it works? #MONSTERDON

See, radiated blood water is good for you!
#Monsterdon

Seems specific to whatever translation was used for this specific dub unfortunately, the English-language .srt I found was somewhat different in that section

oh well

so anyway how about those laws of thermodynamics? #monsterdon

"The men are a little woozy from the red water."

Me too, man. Gonna go get me some red water... #monsterdon

Saeko's name is Reiko in the dub, apparently? Wonder what that's all about.

#Monsterdon

ma'am looks like a mushroom in that red top... #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Here have some grenadine from a seashell." Just tell me you didn't find those shells in the No-2 bathroom...

the baby spits radioactive fire too?

cool, cool

and you watched him spit it into this water that you're making me drink?

#monsterdon

Godzilla tunes in the kid none too soon #Monsterdon

Reiko has a pretty great sense of style for someone who grew up basically alone on a remote island

#Monsterdon

Seriously why does the jumpiest guy have the only gun on the island? #Monsterdon

hee haw mother fuckers

#monsterdon

Dude's about to run off into the jungle and become a mushroom man. #MONSTERDON

Aw. GodIlla is the big spoon

#monsterdon

"There are two refreshments in your world the colour of red wine. This is not red wine"

#monsterdon

So now we know what Godzilla does when it's isn't destroying Tokio. It's sleeping.
#monsterdon

I would drink the red water to wash down the Matango mushrooms #Monsterdon

Manic fever guy actor sees his moment and GRABS IT WITH BOTH HANDS. #Monsterdon

Red Koolaid health potion #Monsterdon

Mini-lla is afraid of fire? Learn to spit fire boy!
#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

red water or crotch water, you decide. #monsterdon

@Taweret Koolaid man bursts through the wall! #monsterdon

Before Red Bull there was Red Godzilla Water

#Monsterdon #SonOfGodzilla

dude do not just feed me a shell full of red lake when i am sick #monsterdon

Oh, THAT's what the three seashells are for. #MONSTERDON

I was thinking that the atomic breath scene was gonna let Goji get a "good parenting" stamp on the bingo card

aaaand then he stepped on the baby's tail 🤷

#Monsterdon

Baby Godzilla's been reminding me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it. But I think I just figured it out. #Monsterdon

@Taweret Probably tastes like hot Hawaiian punch #monsterdon
