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"

MIND CONTROL!

#Monsterdon #Mechgodzilla #MonsterdonBingo

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

There's definitely no doubt he is saying "dinosaur".

#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

These aliens really see themselves as style icons. #monsterdon

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

I like how Godzilla gets hit by the alien ray and then jumps up and down like Yosemite Sam. #Monsterdon

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

Knocked his block off

#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

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

Is this a yo mama joke?

#monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

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!

"No one knows the origin of this monster..."

In spite of the fact that we've given a couple dozen different origin stories for him... #Monsterdon

I like how those titles just slam into your face!

#monsterdon

@ottaross #monsterdon
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.

#Monsterdon #TerrorOfMechaGodzilla

TOHOOOOOOO #monsterdon

Henry G -- As in Godzilla -- Saperstein??

You have my full attention!

#Monsterdon

The movie exploded. Who was smoking too close to the movie? #monsterdon #TerrorOfMechagodzilla

#MonsterdonAlert

#monsterdon

GO GO GO!!!!

@jonny

I mentioned this a while back. #Monsterdon

https://mstdn.social/@davesdogmaggie/112554561073666975

@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*.

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

@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
