Well okay Swamp Thing wasn't the first plant monster out for revenge in comics. But he was the first one with a long running series at a major publisher that lasted until today right? Right?
The aren't two things from the swamp from the summer of 1971 are there??
There are.
#Monsterdon #SwampThing
#monsterdon Swamp booth ... now if I can only dial the right IQ..
Loving the phone booth in the middle of the jungle #monsterdon #TheSwampThing
Sir, there's a monster outside. #monsterdon
he's right about the trouble
@jonny I know, plus it is just missing too many standard functions.
What is that box she is standing in?
#monsterdon Swamp Payphone. Brought to you by AT&T... YOU WILLβ¦
Why was six afraid of seven? Because seven had the explodey plantimal formula in it. #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982
heβs the skinny manβs Oliver Reed
so this australian/german/french guy has a bunch of attractive women working for him who all apparently spend their time telling him how amazing he is, and instead he's worried about this formula and the seventh notebook. i mean okay, but.
βhe said it was the titular βSwamp Thingβ?β #monsterdon
#monsterdon Everyone looks harmless with glasses like that on. Clark Kent knew what he was doing.
Ah yes .The real star of the film. Hey Jude. Good to see you. #Monsterdon #SwampThing
These guys supposed to be operatives? In all this mismatched camo? And Faux Rambo?
#Monsterdon #SwampThing ah finally a phone booth! quick call the operator for an exit
The sound mixing on the Amazon version is a fucking shit show. I need to download a compressor for audio output or something. #monsterdon
I can't decide if this guy wants to work at Fantasy Island or exact revenge on Captain Kirk from these vibes #Monsterdon
Of course the important missing notebook is Notebook No. 7 #Monsterdon
So if they had to helicopter in... how did he get his limo in?
βHe said something, about a Thing. In the Swamp, sirβ #monsterdon
TYRONE NOOOOOOOOO
This guy is *moderately* flamboyant, but he needs to be at least a good 75% more flamboyant to deserve to be called "Arcane".
Why the heck doesn't that limo sink?
Bingo! @Cherizilla

@jsadow incorrect. far too prescriptive. protagonists needing to hunt is far from universal. they are often hunted, ambivalent, or become the antagonists. the only thing that is required after the monster introduction point is that the monster do monster things and everything beyond that is the domain of subgenre #monsterdon
Willie dead #monsterdon
@fabio Ferret is discount Stallone #monsterdon
@cargot_robbie It's the little things
Specifically, the little things being missing that normally lets you know you're really in a #Monsterdon movie, but everything is strange this week I guess
eeeeew clone lady is a butt smoocher
#Monsterdon
Job description.
Blond, big eyes, great at flattery. Must be able to hand tea cup to me and listen to my evil plans.
You know, you are allowed to use the same transition more than once in one movie
The brightest minds on the planet, and the best they could come up with is "the substance"?
Who is this notebook guy, and who is the blonde who is fawning over him?
and here's Not Steve Jobs, preparing to clone THE SWAMP STUFF
No one seems to care much about Tyrone.
Louis really outacting the script.
#monsterdon It's lovely not to sleep knowing that I will soon make the substance for myself.. DIALOGUE!!
Good thing there are zany wipes⦠otherwise these transitions might feel *random* /s
The moral of this film so far is that you should always accept the creepy advances of men in the workplace, just in case they're going to turn into Swamp Things and save you from drowning one day. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon Bingo!
I appreciate that the goons are keeping track of the violence for me. The accessibility I never knew to ask for.
do as the nice clone lady says and sleep you crazed scientist
#Monsterdon
Loved the βsasquatch walking in the middle distanceβ bit. Swamp Thing says βcryptid solidarityβ. #monsterdon
fuckin' killed tyrone and didn't even check the body
Ok, sentimental mercenary an't too bright.
@diazona One of the books he found was by Mary Shelley.
It's swinging Swamp Thinging time!
You should sleep sir.
I can't. It was all so near. I almost had the lyrics down.
I'm the operator with my pocket... confabulator? Laser razor? Big Gator?
Damn it I am so close!
A bit of a two stooges moment there. #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982
#Monsterdon π¨βπ¬ πͺ π§ββοΈ π₯¬ π ββοΈ π±
Why are these rambos called those things?
RIP, Willie. #monsterdon
the Stupid Swamp Boys are AT IT AGAIN!
Not Tyrone! #monsterdon #TheSwampThing
Was this film the inspiration for Rambo? minus the swamp of course.
#monsterdon
Own goal! #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982
@jmelesky oh yes of course. i would count foreshadowing as monster introduction, but in those cases you need to take care that the mosnter has enough time to do things and be all cool and stuff before it either destroys everything or is destroyed #monsterdon
Their friendly fire accuracy is amazing. #Monsterdon
Jesus, Danny! #Monsterdon
Shlorp, shlorp, shlorp
"...come on Danny, not again!"
@maple Unless you want Ram-bro to win. #monsterdon
Our Female Protagonist seriously needs to find better hiding places #Monsterdon
I would ditch that Red shirt if I were here.
@jonny I googled and found this which I don't think Aristotle would have approved of.

I think it's pretty clear at this point that the "Swamp Thing" is not, in fact, the monster in this film...
if the guys firing are unfriendly itβs not friendly fire just fire #Monsterdon
Friendly fire?
Willie, Tyrone! Shoot the damn thing. #monsterdon
lol, they shot they're own guy
Tactical error to not control the rifle barrel before throwing the guy holding it 10m. #Monsterdon #SwampThing1982
Classic creature with draped womam pose #Monsterdon
The next day, the girl is trying to escape with her secret notes, but the rambos catch her and take a boat out to drown her in the swamp, I guess because shooting her was too efficient.
The lead rambo dumps her into the water and appears to drown her, but then his rowboat is overturned by a SURPRISE SWAMP THING. They try to use guns against the swamp thing, but its not very effective. Meanwhile, Swampy has dragged Agent Big Hair to the shore.
I'm trying to come up with a scenario in which the twigs on the commandos' hats are actually going to come in useful for hiding, and drawing a blank
What are the rambo people?
#Monsterdon
that rambo is a total flanker
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon Now, for anyone heavy into DC, Swamp Thing is in the swamp. He's literally knee-deep in his power. Frikken unstoppable almost. The power of The Green.
#Monsterdon #SwampThing π΅ that's me in the swamp now / i've got a girl to save / and i'm not sure if i can do it / oh no i've swamped too much / i haven't swamped enough π΅
Guess who!
Nice camera work delaying the full reveal of the suit, too.
fuck trigger discipline, just be manhandling and squeezing that thing the entire time #monsterdon
Rambo and the two bush-heads are toast!
Swamp Thing caress.
#Monsterdon
Please say she's just pretending to drown. #monsterdon
I brought pizza for Swamp Thing. Eat up, darling!
Monster paw!
@klu9 lol, yes! #Monsterdon
we have swamp thing!!!! right on cue. but also we have no non-monster protagonists. so our only choice is to hope that the swamp thing overcomes the militia and is accepted into society #monsterdon
@LuluHelle To her credit she does appear to be choosing watery death
Those mercenaries are a bunch of knuckleheads. The only reason they made it this far is because of the inside guy. #Monsterdon
Is this David Hess' most, uh, normal role? #Monsterdon
Is Ferret his given name or his family name? #monsterdon
We have swamp arm!
#Monsterdon
I think there must have been this one stuntman who specialized in running while on fire. He was in a lot of stuff in the 80s! #Monsterdon
boyfriend says hi.
