And now the Mothra twins #Monsterdon

Why does this floating uterus have a face
#Monsterdon

Mothra fairies??? #Monsterdon

#monsterdon 7 mighty thunderbolts? Well you know what they say. If you've got no power when the power's out, you ain't got no real power.

Is that the twins from Mothra?

Are they gonna sing now?

#monsterdon

I see the costume director is still mostly working with swimsuits.

#monsterdon

These otherworldly twins kind of resemble uteruses.

#Monsterdon

Hercules II: the Quest for Hercules. #Monsterdon

They’re just gonna cheap out with one single actress for the Little People?? #Monsterdon

Moons are coming to Earth... sure

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Seeking the help of Spinal Tap #Monsterdon

Things must be hard up for the Mothra twins to need a side gig.

#monsterdon #theadventuresofherculues1985

Fire oracles clearly rejects from the Star Wars Holiday Special.

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Sing the Mothra song!

#monsterdon

Hercules! Herculai! Herculaaaaaaa! Hercu-lalalalalala

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

The Adventures of Hercules

Written by Roland Emmerich #monsterdon

The visual effects are in a category of their own - a low one #monsterdon #hercules1985

Hey! Mad Planets! I've played this video game. #monsterdon #Hercules1985

So Space:1999 in reverse?

#Monsterdon
#Hercules1985

I WAS JOKING O_O

#Monsterdon

the... fire twins? this movie would be improved by a summoning of Mothra.

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

HOLY FUCK why are the mothra twins here?

#monsterdon

@jonny Well, that’s something, anyway #Monsterdon

What is this tattle tale twin? Two burning chickens? #Monsterdon

Wait, is this a Mothera movie? #Monsterdon

Are we summoning Mothra?

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

it is not scientific, but she is using the fairies to ask Mothra for help

#Monsterdon

"We need cunning! I'll go to the little people"

"Yes, they use cunning to survive!"

When Bougie people are under strain

#Monsterdon
#TheAdventuresOfHercules

“With cunning!” 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.

#Monsterdon🧔‍♂️ 💪 ⛰️⚡ ⛈️ 🌌 😱

fiery twins!

“I’ll use cunning. I’ll go to the little people.”

“Yes. They use cunning.”

“What does cunning look like?”

“I think it’s a long wooden spear.”

#Monsterdon

Was there a 3D version? The foregrounded hands in the prayer to the little people is ... striking.
#monsterdon #hercules1985

They will summon Mothra!

#Monsterdon
#Hercules1985

Will the little people be the fairies from Mothra?

#Monsterdon

"Little people, friends of Zeus"

#Monsterdon #AdventuresOfHercules1985

What's a crude torii gate doing here?

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

MOTHRA TWINS?! #monsterdon

Why do they sound like her?

#monsterdon

...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.

#monsterdon

leprechauns are friends with Zeus?

#monsterdon

That outfit really flatters her flanks. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon
#Hercules1985
Oh gods, not the Little People. Didn't you read #1Q84?

Yes. Let's use "cunning". That will do the trick.
#Monsterdon

Use all of your Cunning to survive. Specifically your cunning linguistics... #Monsterdon

Stonehenge?! (Spinal Tap sense) #Monsterdon

#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.

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/30577

So far, rather more talking than zany. And did they re-use that animation from Forbidden Planet?

that expression was blank enough to serve as a demo for the Kuleshov effect

#Monsterdon

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?

#Monsterdon #TheAdventuresOfHercules

@SnoopJ maybe?

#monsterdon

Cunning Glossia!

#Monsterdon

"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

Screw Hercules. Give me Marina Sirtis kicking some greco-roman divine ass.

#monsterdon #theadventuresofherculues1985

Is she a Terakian?

#Monsterdon
#Hercules1985

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???

#Monsterdon

"I'd be willing to die"

Listen lady, *I'LL* make the jokes about the atrocious writing, thank you.

#Monsterdon

Destroy it w/ cunning & uh like some kind of a weapon, probably. #Monsterdon

dialogue is occurring

#Monsterdon

@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.

#Monsterdon

"I'd be willing to die. If it will get me out of this movie in Act 1."

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧔‍♂️ 💪 ⛰️⚡ ⛈️ 🌌 😱

this horse just gets to eat

When did we stop putting rivets in clothing, and why

#Monsterdon
#TheAdventuresOfHercules

I think Antius the fire monster had ✅ horns

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

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.
#Monsterdon

Flaming uteruses give the best prophecies
#monsterdon #Hercules1985

"Has it revealed itself?"

"No, I think it's too early."

#Monsterdon #AdventuresOfHercules1985

Will fifty gallons be sufficient?

#Monsterdon
#Hercules1985

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"

#Monsterdon
#TheAdventuresOfHercules

certified #bechdelPass in the first 12 minutes btw #monsterdon

No don't blame the gods.

Actually, fuck that, the gods are total dicks. Blame them all.

#monsterdon

"our fate is in your destiny"

who let these people near a pencil???

#monsterdon #Hercules1985

Studio head at the initial screening: "Is the whole thing like this?" #monsterdon

Dang, troi has a 6 pack.

#monsterdon #theadventuresofherculues1985

Oh SHE's the chosen sister. #Monsterdon

#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

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Hot women embracing in front of a majestic horse..

Munches popcorn...

This movie could redeem itself if these two were to hook up.

#Monsterdon

Ok that was a pretty gnarly dummy. #Monsterdon

Razzies all around for Xena and girlfriend #monsterdon #hercules1985

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

I sense lesbian vibes #monsterdon #hercules1985

Is there a story? How novel! #Monsterdon

Mars sounds like a bowling ball #Monsterdon

#monsterdon We said that Electricity was a killer imp, now you see what we mean. It's a lightning based... bear maybe?

Between the costume and his use of phrases like "Silken Flanks," this guy will die a bachelor.

#monsterdon

@trixter Yeah, especially when it was used the first time in Forbidden Planet. #monsterdon #Hercules1985

@flowerpot Nothing has happened so far, you're good

#Monsterdon #Hercules1985

Was not expecting the deep fried maiden jumpscare.
