but yer so purty
#monsterdon

Our protagonists arrive at Doctor Mifune's house and I'm _pretty damn sure_ all that bird noise was NOT actual crows.

#Monsterdon

I can practically see the rayon in those jackets #monsterdon

"This is a recording from the sub, just before it sank."

Ignore the screaming. #Monsterdon

Mood: Submarine design guy's lapels

#monsterdon

haunted house side quest?? #monsterdon

The Island of Dr. Mafune ... working title.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Shattered, shudubbie doobie

#Monsterdon

Turtleneck (from Sears?) and background music by flock of seagulls #monsterdon

"You'll find this interesting."

A... photo of a hubcap? In front of a headlight? #Monsterdon

Nice concrete mansion.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

I am actually quite glad for all that recap otherwise I wouldn't understand why these normal looking (well reasonably normal) dudes are talking about "earthlings"

#Monsterdon

Too bad this isn't "The Birds"

#Monsterdon

Home, home on the abyssal plains...

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

Meanwhile back in the completely rebuilt city...

The POLICE????? are on the case!

#Monsterdon

Oh wow, a new kaiju! Is this Glup Shitto?

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Ok I skipped forward 7 minutes, is everyone on the alien Yakuza guys bit #monsterdon

Little anchors ⚓️ on the submariners’ hats. In case they forget they’re underwater maybe. #monsterdon

"This is no time for a pole dance!"
#monsterdon

#monsterdon 🎼 We all live on a Kaiju submarine… 🎶

I think this plot was sucked into a black hole, but I'm keeping an open mind. And ignoring physics.

#Monsterdon

"one hour is worse than 1000 hours of space travel" they must have been flying No Frills WestJet
#monsterdon

The company car -- a Camaro?

#monsterdon

Will, he's right about one thing, the state of transportation on this planet IS abysmal

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

They must be searching the haunted area of the ocean.

#Monsterdon

These aliens have an exquisite taste on facial hair
#Monsterdon

"...an earthling?"
"Yeah, the Earth is crawling with the things."

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Those are totally porn glasses #monsterdon

I was going to say, looking rather polluted in Tokyo today

#monsterdon

So that's what happened to the OceanGate sub

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

The aliens are fans of urban planning. #Monsterdon

It's a nice looking sub model, tho #Monsterdon

#monsterdon "you're from the marine institute, what do you think?" "Well, it sounds like they're fucked, technically speaking"

I always love this. Everyone in the room is listening to this recording. It's obviously on speakers.

So what's this one guy doing with those headphones?

#monsterdon

Black box, boom box

#monsterdon

Me at work next year: "We must use the right time to exert our power".

#Monsterdon

Recording: Oh shiiiit, it's a dinosaur! #monsterdon

Wow that's some shaky handheld camera work.

#monsterdon

IT'S A'COMIN STRAIGHT FOR US [BLAM BLAM]

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

He works for OceanGate!
#monsterdon

You can tell this isn't set in the present day because they immediately discount human foolishness as a reason for a submarine accident #monsterdon

"It's a recording made from the sub just before it sank!"

Recording: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA <boom>"

#Monsterdon

Did he just say "Ocean Exploitation Institute"?

Yeah, it's unbelievable that the Ocean Exploitation Institute could be at fault.

#monsterdon

I love how people imagine amazing war machines having guns everywhere. #mechagodzilla has guns in his kneecaps! Like how do you even AIM that? #monsterdon

@Newpa_Hasai I think that was my first #Monsterdon flick! @plaidtron3000

Oh dang, the scene of Godzilla with the darts stuck in him is kinda hardcore #Monsterdon

@MylesRyden "about"? That's crazy talk 😛

#Monsterdon

HI AGENT OSEI

#monsterdon

What is going to be left for the movie to be about?

#Monsterdon

Umm. It’s a seahorse. #Monsterdon

lol "experimental sub sinks"

That ain't no mystery lads...

#monsterdon

so basically they could've ended up with this guy instead on dead boy detectives and didn't so got lucky

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#Monsterdon That sub looked so bad. Filmed in my bathtub bad.

Don't all talk at once please!
#monsterdon

MECHAGODSEAHORSE
#monsterdon

that poor little submarine! #monsterdon

hey, this isn't a Godzilla, or a Mothra!

#monsterdon

oh they have a washing machine on the bridge that's so convenient

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Backstory wraps up - and it's Mechagodzilla entering the storyline.

#monsterdon

We now join our movie, already in progress...

#Monsterdon

Always start your search looking for the head #monsterdon

Previously on Godzilla...

#Monsterdon

WHAT WAS THAT GODZILLA JUMPING DANCE #monsterdon

Wow that spaceship scene was a little “Futurama-esque”
#Monsterdon
#TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

That's a nice mechagodzilla poster

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

That blood spray is like the “Sam Peckinpah’s ‘Salad Days’” of Godzillas #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

oh yeah, seaview's definitely gonna have to rescue these guys

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Godzilla twisting Mechagodzilla's head around: ICE. FUCKING. COLD. #Monsterdon

‘tis but a flesh wound. #Monsterdon

Only 600 tons? In some shots G looks like more than 1000 tons #monsterdon

...apparently Godzilla has extreme healing powers and can also become magnetic on cue, this is new

#Monsterdon

Directed by... someone who probably had a lot of explaining to do afterward. #monsterdon

Just a BANGER of an opening fight scene. In medias res. Like the Iliad. #Monsterdon

aaaaand different movie

#monsterdon

600 tons, how did they weigh Godzilla?

#monsterdon

"Oh yeah, then we decided to add UFOs to the series!" #Monsterdon

The credits: STARRING [some human people]

Me: starring? haha I think not

#Monsterdon

Godzilla has fiery breath, like me after garlicky food.
#Monsterdon

I am now imagining all of these captions on the freeze frames in our recap breathlessly read by a Japanese eight-year-old.

"AND THEN GODZILLA FELL DOWN AND SPIT FIRE AND THEN MECHAGODZILLA SPUN HIS HEAD AND EVERYTHING EXPLODED AND THEN-—”

#Monsterdon

RIGHT PAW NORTH LEFT PAW SOUTH

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

"set the countryside aflame with its fiery breath"

That's RADIOACTIVE fiery breath, dude. Show some respect.

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#monsterdon Dude! Not in the face!

#Monsterdon the narrator of the Peacock dubbed version of #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla sounds like a bored substitute teacher reading from the textbook.

who ordered barbecue? #monsterdon

narrator presenting a very pro-godzilla take on events, because it is just a matter of fact that we shot first and godzilla was simply responding #monsterdon

“Last time on Godzilla…”

#Monsterdon

And then this other time MechaGodilla was all like "I'm gonna spin my head and call force field" then this other time Godzilla was like... #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#monsterdon The new godzilla sounds like an elephant to me.

#monsterdon You didn’t need those airplanes for anything, did you?

i think we've got like 6 different versions going tonight, so this should be EXTRA fun. (^_^) #monsterdon

This PREVIOUSLY ON scene makes me sad that this is the last Godzilla flick of this era. I want a NEXT WEEK ON GODZILLA sequence :D #Monsterdon

Mechagodzilla does a T-800 impression?

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

Starting strong with a marching drum and some kind of bweeeeeyooooooommmmm noise

#Monsterdon

Oh crap, you don't look like your tinder photo #monsterdon

#Monsterdon last minute participant! Enjoy everybody

#monsterdon off to a bang right out of the gate

PREVIOUSLY ON GODZILLA: some half-assed voiceover work

#Monsterdon

okay, we're really just starting off with the explosions, aren't we. #approve #monsterdon

This title card is 🔥 🔥 🔥

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#Monsterdon Toho! Lets go!
