technically it was a Bechdel pass, though? so that's⦠something.
there's plenty of runtime left for the male gaze

Wait, is this a Mothera movie? #Monsterdon
Are we summoning Mothra?
it is not scientific, but she is using the fairies to ask Mothra for help
"We need cunning! I'll go to the little people"
"Yes, they use cunning to survive!"
When Bougie people are under strain
βWith cunning!β Well this is going to be a short movie #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Ilya, the cooked and the dead. Wait... early microwave accident? Or perhaps too close to a high tension power station. Who can say.
A torii gate made of Stonehenge rocks? Little people? Twin Fairies!?

fiery twins!
βIβll use cunning. Iβll go to the little people.β
βYes. They use cunning.β
βWhat does cunning look like?β
βI think itβs a long wooden spear.β
Was there a 3D version? The foregrounded hands in the prayer to the little people is ... striking.
#monsterdon #hercules1985
They will summon Mothra!
NEVERMIND THE INCONGRUENT ARCH
Will the little people be the fairies from Mothra?
"Little people, friends of Zeus"
What's a crude torii gate doing here?
MOTHRA TWINS?! #monsterdon
Why do they sound like her?
...You couldn't find footage of a bird flying at sunset? You had to do a seven-frame animation of one? #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Ahh yes, the altar to Pi!
They use cunning to survive.
Yes, their words are cunning.
They are cunning linguists.
...
Ok, I'll let myself out.
leprechauns are friends with Zeus?
That outfit really flatters her flanks. #Monsterdon

#Hercules1985
Oh gods, not the Little People. Didn't you read #1Q84?
Yes. Let's use "cunning". That will do the trick.
#Monsterdon
Stonehenge?! (Spinal Tap sense) #Monsterdon
Use all of your Cunning to survive. Specifically your cunning linguistics... #Monsterdon
Either you die, or your career dies.
I don't think even the zaniness of The Adventures of Hercules which I only learned existed during last week's #Monsterdon can overcome clock silliness.

So far, rather more talking than zany. And did they re-use that animation from Forbidden Planet?
There's some sort of Ferrigno-less exposition happening. Why? Not sure. #monsterdon
that expression was blank enough to serve as a demo for the Kuleshov effect
Are they just showing the best scenes during the opening credits? #Monsterdon
ancient greek torii #monsterdon
Isn't that fire monster the animated monster from #ForbidddenPlanet?
@SnoopJ maybe?
TORII! TORII! TORII!
Cunning Glossia!
"i'm sure the people who use cunning to survive will give me the right answer" this dialogue fucking owns 10/10 #monsterdon
"the little people use cunning to survive?"
i.e. they're a bunch of cunning runts?
am I following this dialog correctly?

#monsterdon
Hey. Early Bechdel pass. Talking about your imminent doom counts. #Monsterdon #Hercules1985
Is she a Terakian?
Screw Hercules. Give me Marina Sirtis kicking some greco-roman divine ass.
Once again, these hand-drawn animated effects 1) look like they had a budget of $5, but 2) actually look really good for whatever they had to work with???
"I'd be willing to die"
Listen lady, *I'LL* make the jokes about the atrocious writing, thank you.
Destroy it w/ cunning & uh like some kind of a weapon, probably. #Monsterdon
dialogue is occurring
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza I too add a leather hem to my garments. It makes washing them fun!
#Monsterdon #Hercules1985
@YsengrinWolf Bowie. Reminds me of Bowie.
"I'd be willing to die. If it will get me out of this movie in Act 1."

When did we stop putting rivets in clothing, and why
I think Antius the fire monster had β horns
As a funny coincidence "Why did the gods permit it?" was the opening of a critic's review of this film. #Monsterdon
Ah yes, the Ancient Times wardrobe: cloth, leather, and midriffs.

SPEAK UP! #monsterdon #Hercules1985
"It is said" what a passive oracular gift. #Monsterdon
"Having faith is difficult, my sister, when your perm turned out so much better than mine"
certified #bechdelPass in the first 12 minutes btw #monsterdon
Studio head at the initial screening: "Is the whole thing like this?" #monsterdon
Fire monsters? Eating MY destiny?!
Dang, troi has a 6 pack.
Oh SHE's the chosen sister. #Monsterdon

but there's also a chestnut horsie butt in this frame --- oh whait, there's her whole self - having a little graze
what is with the audio range in this film? I can't hear anyone
This movie could redeem itself if these two were to hook up.
Ok that was a pretty gnarly dummy. #Monsterdon
Could've chained her to a more comfortable-looking rock for the sacrifice. That's just unnecessarily mea... OH HOLY BULGING EYEBALLS BATMAN. #Monsterdon #Hercules1985
Razzies all around for Xena and girlfriend #monsterdon #hercules1985
I sense lesbian vibes #monsterdon #hercules1985
Is there a story? How novel! #Monsterdon
#monsterdon We said that Electricity was a killer imp, now you see what we mean. It's a lightning based... bear maybe?
Mars sounds like a bowling ball #Monsterdon
Between the costume and his use of phrases like "Silken Flanks," this guy will die a bachelor.
@trixter Yeah, especially when it was used the first time in Forbidden Planet. #monsterdon #Hercules1985
@flowerpot Nothing has happened so far, you're good
Was not expecting the deep fried maiden jumpscare.
Hey, let's light the grassland trail with lit torches. That sounds like a good idea.
@cocaine_owlbear It fell on hard times and had to get any acting job it could. #monsterdon

@Taweret@timeloop.cafe Such a description, and yet I know exactly what you're talking about!

HORSEY
Jumping onto #Monsterdon late. Since it's the sequel, "The Adventures of Hercules", I figure I can just fast-forward and won't miss much.
I see the costumes for the female characters continue to be comfortable. #monsterdon
like the guy was the monster? it was like a projection of him or something
I don't remember #monsterdon
Its like watching mashed potatoes act.
@trixter taken from Forbidden Planet
Hey, this guy, the electric monster thing, was in Forbidden Planet! #Monsterdon
Monster from the Id! So nice to see it found other work! π #Monsterdon
So they did the monster the same way as in Forbidden Planet... despite 3 decades of progress in SFX?
