Echo cackling, very effective at establishing evilness

#monsterdon

Hold up, was that an alien device made of LEGO? lmao

#Monsterdon

First vulgarity I have heard in Japanese Kaiju?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I think we can all agree that the Titanosaurus gargle-howl is hilarious and adorable.

love the little toy tanks in these movies

#monsterdon

Split screen mini monster montages! #Monsterdon

some tea-and then, time for a blowjob helmet #monsterdon

Who the heck was the girl sneaking by in the restaurant?

#monsterdon

ooo nice fourway cutaway to previous kaiju!

#monsterdon

once again tapping the sign #monsterdon re: whip scene

@gnomon they don't make plots like that anymore #monsterdon

Oh looks, it's little red riding hood #monsterdon

"Where they spacemen"

"ok David Bowie, calm it down"

#monsterdon

what the fuck voice was THAT
#monsterdon

I feel like I should have studied before watching this movie #monsterdon

Katsura has a dark secret.

#Monsterdon

Heh, Katsura is in a different movie than everyone else. She's doing Emily Bronte in a soap opera while everyone else is sci fi :P #Monsterdon

there's no reason for the aliens' helmets to go this hard #monsterdon

*Shakes fist

"Damn Earthlings"

I hear ya man, I hear ya....

#monsterdon

cyborg woman with a pet dinosaur. how can you not love her? #monsterdon

#monsterdon Alien BDSM moment was unexpected.

would metaphor wear a 'circular firing squad' like this or liek this

#monsterdon

ooh I understood a word! (juu-hachi)

(for context I have been taking Japanese lessons for a couple months)

#Monsterdon

Ultra dramatic death from kid-Katsura, gotta ham it up when you only get one scene I guess

#Monsterdon

Oscillator!

#monsterdon

space titanium!

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

hahaha good electrocution death

#monsterdon

A Very Dramatic Electrocution in a sepia-toned flashback.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

so instead of the mile high club he is inviting her to the mile deep club?

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

#Monsterdon What possible purpose could those things on the helmet serve sticking out like that? Antennae? Handles? What?

that helmet is a pussy magnet #monsterdon

Dr. Sunk Cost Fallacy seems like a lousy dad

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Space titanium is special #monsterdon

Remember kids, never take space titanium from strangers.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

"That's strange, a gentle dinosaur" - I would think the fact of the dinosaur itself would be the strange thing? But I guess such is life in the Godzilla Cinematic Universe

#Monsterdon

I see lots of Fun Retro Control Panels ✅

#Monsterdon #MonsterdonBingo

#Monsterdon poverty and scorn because we spent your college fund on this cool underground lair.

We're building another sub to kill everyone inside. Come along! #monsterdon

this looks very Dr Doom from Matzinger. all we need is the She/Him henchperson to make it complete.

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

Itchy-nosey haha c'mon, for real?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon I will cleverly avoid detection by… having my daughter tell them I’m not home!

@MylesRyden It was a good year for Kool-Aid #monsterdon

"...shoot him!"
"But sir, we're standing in a circle..."

Everyone falls down.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Tight can o saurus?

I’d like to meet this creature.

#monsterdon

The aliens have perfected the circular firing squad!

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Tired: Return to work
Wired: WFH
Galaxy Brain: Cave Office
#Monsterdon

The "Ocean Exploitation Institute" -- Is that the same as Chevron?

#Monsterdon

Technical illustration of Mechagodzilla #Monsterdon

A jaded academic who accepts funding and support from an explicitly evil organization, just to get the work done

Realistic movie

#Monsterdon

WTF you have no right to enter into her house like that

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

does mention of fish count?

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

I'm half expecting moon maidens with purple hair in this lair (deep cut). #monsterdon

Shinji, get in the Mechagodzilla! #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#Tubi hitting us with some of the smarmiest ambulance-chaser lawyer ads evah.

#monsterdon

Hanging out in your spooky basement lab, drinking a snifter of hummingbird feeder juice, now that's the life #monsterdon

"dad, a guy from interpol is here to ask you about dinosaurs"

best movie ever

#monsterdon

Space Trotsky and Japanese Colonel Sanders are definitely up to no good.

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Wow that is really one WIDE necktie

#monsterdon

MUSTACHE!

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

Of course it wasn't an explosion. Explosions don't leave claw marks.

#Monsterdon

Lol, translating "senpai" as "old buddy" is a choice

#Monsterdon

How come Godzilla movies hate submarines so much? If you see a submarine in a Godzilla movie you can pretty much count on it getting exploded like a hotdog in a microwave. #Monsterdon

Yeah yeah, that's enough SCIENCE, time for giant monsters now #monsterdon

Extra points for forward growing beard.

#Monsterdon

i like the 70s fashions but 70s cars have nothing on giant 50s cars

#monsterdon

that dude doesn't have a mustache but his unibrow should count as one

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

Pretty accurate the Aliens turning to the cranks of Humanity as possible traitors

#monsterdon

"I'd like you to look at this. If you see a UFO, you're a sexual deviant. If you see a lawnmower, you're a hard worker. If you see #godzilla you're obsessive."
#monsterdon

So are the Aliens in league with the Kaiju or is that what this movie is all about?

#monsterdon

There's a lot happening, and they haven't really started working on the story telling yet.

#monsterdon

tiny grainy photos are excellent proof of aliens, well done folks

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon This recap is like those anime my kids watched with Super sayan or whatever, "More powerful than ever before!"

#monsterdon “Godzilla almost met his match.” Oh. The. Tension. Is. Killing. Me.

Mechagodzilla really doesn't have to go this hard

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

I am starting to question the accuracy of this documentary.

#Monsterdon

Space Titanium! It's like regular Titanium only Spacier! #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Confused? You won't be after this episode of Soap

#Monsterdon

"It would be in our best interest to collect the head"

uh...

#Monsterdon

Classic 'Terminator II' setup, "let's find bits of the robot monster and make another one"

#monsterdon

Special effects by... the fine folks at 'Cardboard,Tinfoil and Rubber Suits, Inc #monsterdon

MONSTER IN WATER!

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

So is this just recap, or will all this fighting be on the quiz?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla opens with a TOHO logo, followed by Godzilla, followed by a narrator explaining that Godzilla is probably an ancient god and also likes smashing things.

The narrator goes on to explain that all of man's military might has no effect on Godzilla, and we get a montage of various military hardware (fighter jets, tanks, rocket monsters) trying to stop Godzilla, who is unimpressed and continues to stomp his way through cities.

This is a lot of recap. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Rotating head gimmick

#monsterdon

Starting with a little back story info for those who don’t know the big guy. #monsterdon

So......Godzilla has an evil robot brother?

#monsterdon

Came in with a bang, right down to business
#monsterdon

…and we're away with an opening Godzilla monster scene, and a convincing narrator.

#monsterdon

TOHO-LL THE BELLS #Monsterdon

Previously, on Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

5..4..3..2..1.. GOGO

#monsterdon

Or the evil of banality.

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

I’m going to assume that the cyborg was leaking ATF, not blood, when shot in the arm. So she didn’t die, she just became immobile and floppy when she ran out of hydraulic fluid.

She’s not dead, just experiencing locked in syndrome, basically, until someone tops up her hydraulics and fixes the leaks. And y’all left her in a meadow. To suffer in perpetuity. And from the sounds of her screams when shot, in pain

This is the banality of evil

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

I had my mom and two of my kids over for tonight’s #monsterdon. Our first 3-generation Monsterdon! Will bring the granddaughter over for it when she’s old enough to really dig it and we’ll have 4-gen Monsterdon!

@aprilfollies @Seanleblanc just follow the hashtag #MonsterdonAlert for updates and polls deciding the week's movie and #monsterdon for the actual event

@lytta Yes, I don't even quite get why Godzilla felt he *had* to be involved in the action at all (though it's a good thing for Japan that he did) #monsterdon

@Lazarou 💯 agree. #Monsterdon

someday i need to finish this sketch i started almost 10 (!!) years ago now of katsura and her pet monsters. i need to make it clear that the monsters are far away in the background—maybe i'll put some buildings in front of them or something #monsterdon
