It's like shaking hands with danger. Very big, scaly danger. #monsterdon

Uh, ...

Kat, I’m calling her Kat, is VERY dramatic. #Monsterdon

NEW OUTFITS! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla We return to the conference room where the puny humans are designing a Newer, Better Submarine that is Yellow because they like the Beetles. They mention that they found one of the mad scientist's notebooks.

Mad Scientist daughter visits them, and a deep voiced Biologist visits her and tells her how brilliant her dad's work is. Because he has a deep voice I assume he is a main character, and will call him the Cunning Linguist.

Minion helmet inspo post. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla next scene the mad scientist, the daughter and the bearded alien open a secret passage in a cave, revealing a very 2001: A Space Odyssey corridor that leads to an alien control room manned by the humanoid aliens. Outside, they have recovered MechaGodzilla and seem to be repairing him (it?) in some kind of hanger.

The Mad Scientist realizes that these are the aliens, and is surprised and Captain Sunglasses introduces themselves.

this dialogue doesn't need to be quite so breathless, doll

#monsterdon

@ottaross "Gentlemen, to evil!" 🥂 #monsterdon

Take evasive maneuvers!

*somersaults*

#Monsterdon

lol, unnecessary slow motion and dangerous crossfire situation, like a ballet

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla
The bearded guy (also an alien) explains that there's a smart doctor guy who hates earthlings and is a mad scientist and so might help them destroy the world. The mad scientist guy wanted to farm the oceans but the other scientists laughed at him because he found a dinosaur (dubbed Titanousaurs) that he could control.

Actually, they didn't laugh at him; they thought it was too much power for man to control dinosaurs that were not chickens.

@JoeWynne speed beard, for the jet set man #monsterdon

"Sure dad, sure...."

@paco I see a drone *sighs in 2024 #monsterdon

That goatee is prodigious.

"With a simple bit of facial hair, my alien origins will be hidden."

#monsterdon

Spooky chick answers door

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla the humans drive their submarine around to where they thing MechaGodzilla's body is, but they can't find it there. Then a suspiciously scaly tail does a swishy swish and knocks their toy submarine into a whirlpool as everyone does a Enterprise-Hit-By-Phaser-Fire jumping around all dramatically sequence.

It is revealed that the assailant is a weird dragon thing, that then smashes the sub and explodes it. RIP in peace toy boy, RIP in peace.

His fish experiments focused on rabbits

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla I'm wondering why submarines are often lit in red from the inside. Is that a similar rule to holograms usually being blue, or Kardashians usually being famous?

these opening credits are like a whole trailer for the movie, WTF

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla I think this concludes the recap episode summary of the anime as the credit sequence starts. We see a different Godzilla being shot by real Godzilla's atomic heat breath. But then I am surprised by even more recap, as this is indeed, the Second Time Godzilla has faced the dreaded MechaGodzilla.

In a montage of the past battle we see the best special effects, which are part 60s Doctor Who and part Child-Has--A-Lot-Of-Toys-And-An-Expensive-Camera.

Little known fact, Mechagodzilla is played by Henry Fonda, during breaks in filming his role in "On Golden Pond."

#notReally #wheresIMDBwhenYouWantIt #monsterdon

the little robot arm on the sub is very cute, love the model work on these movies, such detail!

#monsterdon

@Lazarou Maybe it works like meteoric iron?

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

am doing Cheri's #MonsterdonBingo card, we already had missiles, right?

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

The guy in the Gozilla suit doing the backstory sequence is really killing it. Both figuratively and literally.

Some excellent moves.

#monsterdon

"Last week, on Godzilla..."

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

WE GOT TOHO SIIIIIIIIIIIIGN

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@violetmadder @plaidtron3000 Technically Godzilla is naked in every Godzilla movie #monsterdon

woohoo just hit 2k this week! OK I can rest easy now

#Monsterdon

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS so the actor who played Ichinose? He's a) still alive, and b) has done a LOT of voice and dub work.

Including dubbing the voice of Theoden in The Lord of the Rings. :O

#Monsterdon

Godzilla kept the head. In a jar. In a car. In “Your Self Storage”. #Monsterdon

The moral of the story is putting a huge backstory infodump at the beginning of your story is tremendously confusing and pointless, I don't know why I have to tell a professional filmmaker this #monsterdon

Finally, a proper fucking into the oddly brown sea.

Fucking that's what you get for destroying all the sewage treatment plants in the battle. You have to fuck off into the bay of poop...

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

this time Godzilla says goodbye to the humans before fucking off into the sea #monsterdon

Also that red text wasn't translated but I assume it said "The End."

(finally I can go pee)

i think if i was the humans i would want to establish more regular lines of communication with godzilla, because this pattern of every time he or any other monster shows up not knowing whose side they are going to be on seems unsustainable #monsterdon

Two of my favorite things about tonight's #Monsterdon was that I had absolutely no idea where anything was happening at any point in time and that it was really unclear what the stakes were other than "obvious bad thing is obviously bad"

But yeah, MAN there was like eight movies in that movie @_@ #Monsterdon

Forget the monsters, the best part of that film was the ranting mad scientist who looked like Colonel Sanders.

We need more mad scientist #monsterdon films.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon. And a PROPER “fucking off into the sea” ending, thank you!

Ok now it's over. That was amazing #monsterdon #terrorofmechagodzilla thanks again to @tawaret

Well that was absurd. And fun.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

I've not really been paying much attention this movie and I'm also 45 minutes or so behind but apparently the girl is a cyborg and also the alien leader feels it necessary to whip people right before sentencing them to death? What a jerk.

#monsterdon

Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975): 5/5
"what"

#MonsterdonReviews #monsterdon

Did he just fall off the edge of the earth? FLAT EARTH IS REAL #monsterdon #terrorofmechagodzilla

top 3 best #FuckOffIntoTheSea #FOITS of all time #monsterdon

Oh wow, that was highly enjoyable on every possible level, just fantastic

#Monsterdon

that's a weird one but I don't really know why it did so badly at the box office, unless I guess people were just bored of it

that was pretty good, i liked some of the sets, it needed more proper fighting but what it had was solid, particularly at the end

maybe a shortened second reel, I think that would've helped

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

and as Godzilla fucks off into the sea, we all know the rightful order has been restored. Good job everybody!

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Totally don't understand what the purpose of ripping off the alien's face to reveal that underneath he looks - basically the same but a bit slimy? - was

#Monsterdon

Sure Godzilla can smash Mechagodzillas corpse to bits but somebody will just rebuild it again.....

#monsterdon

Katsura: "Mechagodzilla's brain is installed in my stomach!"

Joel and the Bots: "HUH!?!"

#Monsterdon

only thing missing from this WWF match is a folding chair and a blind ref
#monsterdon

Damn, how many times Katsura died already?
#monsterdon

illegal explanetary aliens forgot to pay their electricity bill

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

a lot of dramatic deaths

#monsterdon

LOOK INSIDE AND YOU WILL FIND

POKEMON

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

It really has to be said that Mifune's role in this story is basically that of a Sinster Pokemon Trainer. #Monsterdon

Who choreographed these fight scenes. They are a bit like “the Three Stooges”

#Monsterdon

The humans use tinnitus! It's HIGHLY EFFECTIVE!

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

I'm pretty sure that many alpha strikes will overheat mechagodzilla

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

Love to fire a big red rocket out of a helicopter in a last minute bid to save Tokyo....

#monsterdon

*trips over apartment building*

I meant to do that!

#Monsterdon

shutup you

#monsterdon

Mechagodzilla or Infinite fingers Godzilla? #Monsterdon

Titanosaurus using a very unconventional mouth-centric grapple

#Monsterdon

Pretty accurate depiction of a Titanosaurus.

#Monsterdon

Godzilla's fighting like a Marine

#monsterdon

Explode all the things!

#Monsterdon

Did they decide not to fight and just fuck shit up together? I can get behind that
#monsterdon

Superpower: farting?

#monsterdon

hand guns can melt steel beams

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

Sweep the leg, Godzilla! Sweep the leg!

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Wait, they blew up *how* much of that set?

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

Shake shake shake
shake shake shake
shake your kaiju
#monsterdon

"Where is Godzilla?!"

Lazy lizard, slacking off!

#monsterdon

It's just as well Tokyo is so big it can just brush off these constant monster attacks.

#monsterdon

Oh no! They've got one of those 70s lights that looks like an atom!

#monsterdon

"Spacemen controlled monsters are attacking our city"

"again?! Fuck's sake..."

#monsterdon

We have come to save Earth from the Earthmen who are destroying it, by destroying it.

#Monsterdon

Man this guy is obsessed with Interpol and they haven't put out a new record in forever....weird

#monsterdon

Their health and safety folks are gonna have to have a word about all the welding they're doing with no eye protection, no hand protection, and like 2 feet away from some dudes that are just having a conversation. #monsterdon

#monsterdon Idk what's the point of the aliens, I guess the writers thought it was cool to add them in the story.

Aliens: we put your daughter's brain in Mechagodzilla. Hope you don't mind.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

HOW DOES GODZILLA *AMBUSH* ANYBODY!? #Monsterdon

Are all dinosaurs this durable? Tempted to become an evil scientist and resurrect Compsognathus sp. to check

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla Well anyway, Titanosaurus appears from the sea and the humans are like "oh fuck we don't have a sound cannon; better send some fighter planes and cross our fingers guys!"

naturally, a panicked evacuation scene ensues as all the civilians run away. In the background, Titanosaur starts smashing buildings as airplanes and tanks shoot at him.

"We'll have Godzilla fight multiple monsters one after the other! This is a tactic that has never been tried before, and will definitely work! We're geniuses!" #Monsterdon

This scene. #Monsterdon

Ummm FAKE breasts?

#monsterdon

New reaction image just dropped #monsterdon

lol @ Cyborg laser eyes

#monsterdon

I am glad they got real, full-size tanks for this movie.

#Monsterdon

Their plan seems overly complex and evil. #Monsterdon

@JoeWynne Still makes more sense than Timecode (2000)

#Monsterdon

I don't remember the model tanks being that fancy. Also, F4 for the aircraft.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

The 70s fashions of the extras fleeing in panic is intense

Some lovely building smashing there, satisfying

#monsterdon

"They've got special space guns. Anyway, can we go on full alert?"

"Mmm, I dunno, full alert sounds like a lot of work. Could we do half alert? Maybe a brief attentive phase?"

#Monsterdon
