Some *great* miniature work here with the li'l sub. #Monsterdon

Ooo exploding title credits! Okay, I think we're FINALLY out of the recap now. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I like the sub-mariner caps. Very jaunty.

"...switch to deep sea lights"
"You mean the red ones?"
"Shut up Frank."

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@jonny I don't know but I wanna watch it on repeat

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon "Roxxxxannneee, you don't have to turn on the deep sea liight..."

five minutes in and I have no idea what's happening

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Annnnnd we’ve got aliens, complete with flying saucers 🛸.

“Godzilla the friend and ally.” Don’t mind all the collateral damage. Could be worse. Could be aliens.

Sooo excited to see the building of MechaGodzilla! #monsterdon

that submarine has an atypical number of fairy lights but it's kind of attractive

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Wait, there's a crawdad kaiju?!

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@nhgeek but sound by QUALITY SOUND!!!

#Monsterdon

@jsadow @brooke It's #Monsterdon, if you understand the plot then you didn't really understand the plot

ohh, cooked lobster #monsterdon

@aprilfollies Definitely not just Tokyo #monsterdon

That's a very detailed diagram #monsterdon

Ok I'm here I'm here! #monsterdon #terrorofmechagodzilla

Toy ship in a pool alert! #monsterdon

Also the Peacock version isn't subtitled or captioned. #Monsterdon

i have no idea if we are out of recap mode and this UFO invasion is happening in the timeline of the movie and the recap is diegetic or if there is going to be some second title card ... because we are 5 minutes into the recap and that is an AWFUL LOT of recap #monsterdon

"There's no way to stop this 600 ton monster"

Have you tried appeasement? It worked so well for Europe in the 30s.

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

well that was the recap folks, hoped that cleared everything up!

#monsterdon

He's no fun, he just fell over!

#Monsterdon

Lots of Godzilla lore dumped at the start of this one. Very helpful.

#Monsterdon

Okay, here we go...
#Monsterdon

Has the movie started yet? I can't tell if I'm still in the recap or the actual movie

#Monsterdon

Know your cuts of MechaGodzilla. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Does Mechagodzilla have a page on wikifoot with those sole-rockets #monsterdon

Righty tighty, lefty loosy!

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

I, for one, welcome our new robot Godzilla overlords #monsterdon

Like an animal attempting to defend his territory... Er, lunch

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon “Left the cities in ruins”? So it’s not just Tokyo?

@brooke Same and I'm sure I will not understand the plot now.

#monsterdon

I hope one of those doesn't translate to "The End"

#monsterdon
#TerrorofMechagodzilla

#Monsterdon YOU DON'T GET TO BEAT UP TOKYO! ONLY I GET TO BEAT UP TOKYO!

Outer space is a black hole?

Good to know...

#Monsterdon

WTH is this "previously on Godzilla" stuff? This ain't Batman, son

#monsterdon

In my cut there has been zero dialogue/monologue/narration so far, just Godzilla and Mechagodzilla duking it out with an occasional all-Japanese credit screen popping in

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon It's been a while since I've seen this one, we're in recap I think. If so honestly every one of these should start with a super-edit of "previous-movie-just-the-fight"

Oh no he, hit 'em right in the puss with that missile :-(

GODZILLA STICKS TO MAG-NEEEEEEEEET

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Turning himself into a giant magnet. How could I forget about that. Man that was kookie. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Holy crap I love the costumes of these sinister people from space do you think I could get away with wearing this to the grocery store

#Monsterdon

Are we getting spoilers of the big fight on opening credits?
#Monsterdon

that's a lot of blood considering the late showa era was mostly aimed at kids

#monsterdon

@moira wait it's just like silently showing godzilla clips lmao #monsterdon

Godzilla has a spurting neck wound and the film hasn't even really started yet ...

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

On the other hand this is some classic model destruction. Sort of a Best Of :D #Monsterdon

@Taweret@octodon.social There have to have been Godzilla branded fruit snacks, but are there any that aren't limited edition?

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Critical hit!

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

Our version does not have a narrator, just the recap

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

i love that we all have like completely diofferent versions of this movie #monsterdon

Turn to the camera then freeze frame credits are the pinnacle of cinematic art #monsterdon

All still not even coming close to hitting him.

#Monsterdon

Going to try to chime in here tonight, see if this avoids spamming the local timeline. Might have to bail, just had a unexpectedly stressful conversation with mom (let's just say she's liberal rather than left)
#Monsterdon

Ooh looks like a lot of people are watching the backstory version (I am not)

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon head-spinning action!

"The earth-shaking roar sent hundreds running for their lives...!"

Oh come on, don't try to milk this for pathos. This is the Japanese national sport at this point. #Monsterdon

I'm watching the version on Peacock so as to avoid the ads #monsterdon

Wouldn't it be the actual smashing of their homes that sends them running for their lives?

#Monsterdon

is he... "watch my head spin" #wrongMovie #monsterdon

oh weird my blu-ray glitched for a few seconds :( hope the disc is ok. i also hope my ps5 is ok 😬 #monsterdon

and i got some fruit snacks and they're pretty good

#monsterdon

Big G, don't shoot at the Zarya bubbles, it just supercharges her ray gun!

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Got back from laundry just in time for #Monsterdon! (And will have to skip out about halfway through to get stuff from the dryer.)

He's so SHINY 🤩 #Monsterdon

I'm gonna be late to the movie again but oh well. #monsterdon

Feels like this credit sequence is full of spoilers

#monsterdon
#TerrorofMechagodzilla

An AT field! #monsterdon

@Taweret some things are unknowable

#Monsterdon

Yeah, good times #monsterdon

I watched Jurassic World for my podcast's next episode and, spoiler alert, Godzilla in these scenes is the level of anthropomorphization they reach with the dinosaurs in the third act #monsterdon

#monsterdon
why are they pissing off godzilla so early on

Yes, the are "merely toys."

How refreshing of the director to admit that!

#Monsterdon

No opening credits? How are we supposed to know who to blame? #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#monsterdon Narration! Ding!

But at least we get a monster fight.

Did they just cross streams? #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Finally figured out how to get the computer to play to the TV/projector. Yay, archive!

#monsterdon coming out swinging with explosions and Godzilla fights. I assume this is footage from the climax of the last film?

Kaiju so bad he's MONOGRAMED. MG. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

im watching a dvd and i have no idea if its the same version as on tubi

#monsterdon

OW THAT HURT

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #CoffeeWatch is on the job!

minces slices kaiju dices

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Maybe if they tried actually hitting him with those modern weapons?

#Monsterdon

i'm starting with the subtitled version because i've mostly watched the english dub of this. i may switch over at some point though #monsterdon

GODZILLA VS. GODZILLA A TITAN VS. A TITAN

#Monsterdon

BANG BANG INTO THE ROOM #monsterdon

... and the flashbangs throw a huge shadow of Godzilla on the wall of the soundstage ...

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

It begins... Criterion Edition #monsterdon

I'm looking forward to finding out what scared Mechagodzilla so much.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

LETS

MECH-IN'

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#monsterdon

GO GO GO GO GODZILLA ok mecha #monsterdon #terrorofmechagodzilla
