I like how those titles just slam into your face!

The only rational thing to do really.

The dub commits to retconning or something. Godzilla is either a god or an ancient monster. He bats away various toy aircraft as if they were... toys. Seemingly the 1954 movie isn't canon, but Godzilla vs Motha and Destroy all Monsters might be? Also he masses only 600 tons.

@jonny

I mentioned this a while back. #Monsterdon

@randy_s lmao incredible tru tales from #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 #Monsterdon family tradition, woot!

@jonny I did enjoy seeing Godzilla doing the Safety Dance. #monsterdon #MenWithoutHats

@aprilfollies @diazona someone let the Copilot+ update install. #monsterdon

@aprilfollies @CactuarJoe That's the one I was reacting to with the #MonsterdonScience tag, it was just "...this isn't even our _universe_."

#monsterdon

Scrolling back through #monsterdon comments and it looks like some folks could use some clarification:

In science fiction, you have androids, and you have cyborgs.

Androids are (usually) full robots made to look like people (sometimes in earlier sci-fi they're artificially created human-shaped beings with biological parts but shh)

Cyborgs are when you take a regular human and replace some parts with/add some machine parts. They can still be mostly flesh and blood with robot-y *sections*.

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!

@jonny Great moments in cinema. #Monsterdon

@diazona #Monsterdon Checks out! No wonder she BSOD’d. 🟦 ☠️

"i may look like a girl but im not im a cyborg!!!"

#monsterdon #BestOfMonsterdon

@CactuarJoe #Monsterdon *Thank* you for calling that out. I didn’t even know where to begin. 😜

@cheribaker it makes it sound like she ate it #monsterdon

@jmelesky @moira That is no shame #monsterdon

@jonny oh my god the dub had a narrator? #monsterdon

@Seanleblanc Each week @Taweret arranges (hosts) the #Monsterdon spectacular - polling for which movie, letting us know where to find it, all that behind-the-scenes support.

@bk1e @annathepiper That’s a helluva coincidence. #Monsterdon

or make her much smaller. anyway. one of these days™ #monsterdon

@lytta I don't recall ever seeing her operated on at all, and then I saw posts about the mechanism inside her and got confused not knowing about the different edits #monsterdon

@lytta Having only seen the cyberboob-free version, I'm pretty sure they just zoomed the cut to just the open abdomen.
#monsterdon

@Sorl This is what it looks like when @starkraving666 and I make out.

#monsterdon

So, some of us got the boobs version and some did not. #Monsterdon

@steter Which version did you watch? Cyberboobs or no cyberboobs? Because that changes the rating. It goes to 34D+ if cyberboobs.

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @moira It’s only been an hour and I’ll admit I already can’t keep the cyborg timeline straight. #monsterdon.

@apLundell @Taweret It does not make for the best communal viewing experience, unfortunately. But how could we have known? #monsterdon

But I think there's also a scene where she's being operated on while wearing her silver sweater dress. Which doesn't really make sense but maybe they added that so censored cuts could still show she was a cyborg?? #monsterdon

"megagodzillas brain is installed in my stomach"
#monsterdon

glad this is over 😂

/facepalm. I missed #monsterdon, again. Does it still work like it did a few months back?

@moira @jmelesky I count that laser zap to the back of the head as getting shot, by a beam weapon thingie #monsterdon

@Elleaster "Great, Mistress, NOW I have a new kink!" #monsterdon

@steter Ain't that always the truth

#monsterdon

So in the subbed version, they show Katsura on an operating table, with prosthetic boobs (not particularly titillating, just physically extant) and her innards cut open to reveal her new life-saving mechanical parts in motion. Do they just leave out the 'show she's a cyborg' bits in the dub so they don't have to show the boobs? #monsterdon

@ottaross no, eegah is a different movie

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eegah

#monsterdon

@Zerofactorial @jmelesky She didn't get shot, she got lighteninged in an experiment?

Our version definitely had the "turn her into a cyborg" operating scene.

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

boosting when the theater crowd lets out #monsterdon

@jonny Huh maybe... I haven't really been keeping track too closely, but from what I can remember it's usually about 1.8k. I've seen 1.6k but that's a slow week. This is all instance-dependent of course.

#Monsterdon

@diazona i literally had to reconfigure our sidekiq services and split them up into multiple queues to be able to handle #monsterdon lmao

@diazona @Taweret I mean, at least the Godzilla-themed ones...

#monsterdon

@moira (meant as the highest compliment, of course)

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@RufusJCooter @Taweret Maybe we should start saying grace before each #Monsterdon

@jmelesky Wasn't she shot more than once, when she was young and then as a cyborg? Searching through the film using the #peacock controller is hopeless, but I think maybe I didn't even see an operating table scene #monsterdon

@diazona didnt' that just hit 1k like a few months ago lol, or at least it did over here and i also see 1.9k now #monsterdon

@apLundell @Taweret I am definitely curious about Space Godzilla given that it's apparently not just regular Godzilla in space

#Monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow omfg 😂

#Monsterdon

One of the best parts of tonight's #monsterdon is that there was a Boob version and a Non-Boob version. It's too bad all our movies aren't like that. I for one would love to see the "Boob" version of "Attack of the Crab Monsters."

#Monsterdon Thank you @Taweret and all participants for this weeks mad chaos! It’s what we come here for!!

and lest i forget, thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting ^_^

#MonsterDon

@bunnyhero The daughter's tragic plot gets me right in my cyborg heart. #Monsterdon

The most important parts of Mechagodzilla were its infinite supply of projectiles, and its unlimited portable energy supply for beam weapons. I wished to learn more about this clever science, but was left feeling a bit disappointed. As a documentary, I really can't award it more than a D+.

#Monsterdon

Remember kids, your vote counts. #monsterdon is democracy in a nutshell. If you get a slate of shit to vote for, no matter what you get, you're gonna have shit on your plate.

We love you, @Taweret

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@apLundell@octodon.social that was some classic Mad Scientist action in tonight's movie, the sort of the thing The Venture Brothers would have

#monsterdon

they're kissing #monsterdon

@lytta yeah his name was mentioned about once in the entire rest of the movie (at least in the version I was watching, 1:23 with subtitles)

#Monsterdon

@fluffy yup sounds about right 😬

#Monsterdon

Godzilla, Interpol: get in the sea!
Orcas: YES
#Monsterdon

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

eh not my favorite godzilla film. worth it for the dancing "i just saved the earth" godzilla in the beginning, though #monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Quick goodbye tonight, as I am travelling. This was so great! What a battle! Loved the commentary!

Thanks for Bingo and Build-up fun!

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

And as Godzilla sinks slowly in the western seas, we say Aloha, Godzilla! And return to our duties. And let me remind you that Godzilla is open twenty-four hours for your dining and dancing pleasure. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Godzilla breath weapon slays Titan, shows importance of good dental hygiene.

and with a slight delay, godzilla fucks off into the sea #Monsterdon

Tune in next week, same 'Zilla station, same 'Zilla time!

#Monsterdon

"Why didn't you do that before? Couldn't stopped all this nonsense." when Godzilla finally breath-weapons titanosaurus

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

That cliff is MVP #Monsterdon

Godzilla needs some mouth wash for that white spit thing on the sides of his mouth

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla

#Monsterdon I love the color of the fucking off into the sea on this one.

I'M THE CHAMPION!!! I'M THE GOD!!!!

#Monsterdon

Godzilla appears to be giving Titanosaourus a wedgie #monsterdon

Mechagodzilla shuts down when the cyborg daughter commits suicide and gets blown up and/or buried by Godzilla. Except his head, which one hopes Godzilla kept as a trophy.

Titanosaurus backflips into the sea. Godzilla eventually wades out afterwards, in an artsy sunset on the ocean waves sort of way.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Saaaay, nice body you got there!

#Monsterdon

Godzillas like "Just a sec, tight-can-o-saurus, I gotta blow up some UFOs real quick"

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

Fucking off into the sea for the final time.

Again, I love the horror melodrama to this one, and the goofy villains don’t undercut it for me. They just underscore the unfeeling world that Katsura finds herself in.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@apLundell "cyborg sky burial" #Monsterdon

 Hooray!!! Japan is not quite destroyed!

#Monsterdon

As Godzilla strode into a chocolate sea, the audience is left wondering. Is the cyborg really dead? Guess so. Will her boyfriend ever recover? Guess so. And what was the point of this movie? We had toys to blow up.

Superb. Especially the dialog.

#Monsterdon

i don't really know how this movie is ending, all i know is that everything was blowing up for awhile and now it isn't anymore #monsterdon

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

#Monsterdon

Katsura you were my favorite Godzilla series human 😭 #monsterdon

"Hey how's godzilla going to beat the aliens?" #Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

@jmelesky Oh, maybe I haven't gotten to that point yet? #monsterdon

I don't think about it that much because of everything else that's fun about Godzilla, but his trademark screech is deeply unpleasant to hear

#Monsterdon

This is the procedure for cyborg burials. Just dump the body in a meadow and put a jacket over her. #monsterdon

Hush. No more yelling. Just dreams.

Noooooooooo cyborg girlfriend don't die #monsterdon

i am now watching along with the end of the longer version #monsterdon

#monsterdon “You have a human heart like anyone else!” Yes, I keep one in the fridge. 🫀

I was led to believe this would be a bad movie, but what I just watched was a cinematic masterpiece. 10/10, no notes

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

So we all agree MechaG's second head was stolen from Robby the Robot, right? #Monsterdon
