#Monsterdon who are the solarites? they're the bad guys, duh. come on man keep up

Herron is holding this knife just like he knows nothing about how to hold a knife in a threatening manner.

#Monsterdon

i admit it's a pretty advanced civilisation that can make a theremin out of broken wine glasses

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@Taweret But the execution was much less developed #monsterdon

Ah, Solarites. Those are @moira 's kids. #Monsterdon

I am also from the sun satellite and also the only one of their monsters that didn't die in the attack and also crash into an invisible wall that made a big hit at MIT.

#Monsterdon

They spent a lot of money on that helmet prop/set and by god they were gonna use it as much as they could. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

This is the worst Shave As You Sleep service ever! Zero stars.

#monsterdon

@RobynGoodfellow yeah, that's not a knife, pretty sure #Monsterdon

These two oughta start an incel club #monsterdon

#Monsterdon weird duel

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
"I inspected your giant suit"

#Monsterdon JUST KISS HIM ALREADY.

“You can’t force it. You can’t command it. If you do that you’ll never find it.”

I’m getting mixed messages about consent.
#monsterdon

I gotta be honest, having only watched like 5% of original Star Trek, it all seemed to be the same as parts of this movie

#Monsterdon

@lytta "I don't even know if I like women!" #monsterdon

@moira Yeah, he's gotta get back to Spacestation Crushing Boredom! #Monsterdon

it's trial by wishbone! here on the chicken nugget planet #monsterdon

That said, Zetha deserves a LOT better than Frank Chappedass

#Monsterdon

She is just upset because her parley didn't hit, but thanks to Phantom Planet Shove Kings you get 50% more per a bet!!
#monsterdon

Frank seems to be not at all effective at the whole "choosing a woman" thing

...I guess he has good reason, sort of

#Monsterdon

"No Liara, I don't love you. I don't even know if I like you!"

#monsterdon

Liara is getting pretty excited by the gravity plate. #monsterdon

He lived, but with the horrible knowledge of his inadequate 'scaping of his midriff.

#monsterdon

You want to leave Planet Crushing Boredom?! But why?!

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Frank, c'mon. Liara's just looking for a guy who's good with his combat rod. #Monsterdon

why wouldn't you fight to the death for a woman you literally met today?

#monsterdon

It's the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
#Monsterdon

Phantom Planet is kind of more of a Phantom Co-ed Dorm. #monsterdon

“I don’t want to kill you. I—“
#monsterdon

That wasn't so hard. Herron probably doesn't even lift #monsterdon

@combatwombat oh, I think he's been here for some time! #Monsterdon

"I love you"

You only just met him lady, Frank is no fool

#monsterdon

That immediate disintegration didn't seem very immediate.

#monsterdon

IMO, the best strategy in this duel would be to reduce the force of your own push and slide quickly to the right or left, turning the rod to the side. Now, your opponent has to exert tremendous power to force you back toward the plates.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
Chapman totally stepped on the gravity plate and nothing happened. He cheated.

The bloodlust is strong in the jury.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"I don't wanna kill you."

Can't you see I LOVE YOU <3 #Monsterdon

mercy from the Earthman. This reminds me of Flash Gordon #monsterdon

OH, SUDDENLY THEY CAN TALK HUH #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet

So much phallic imagery. It's like dick-a-palooza. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

The dueling rod is really a very large 'I' but with serifs

The musical score of this fight scene is lame. There's no drama, no passion. #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

Shirtless men pushing their rods at each other until one of them goes down.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

"I like you. I'll kill you last."

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

okay this is the stupidest looking duel i have ever seen in scifi or anything anywhere #monsterdon

@paco I dunno what that is, but it isn't a duel!? #Monsterdon

500 quatloons on the Earthman!! #monsterdon

I'll churn you senseless!

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon this is just like MTVs The Challenge! Yes. Awesome 😎

whomever breaks the gian IUD first, gets to keep the bangmaiden

#Monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

Ok, so blonde lady just likes to watch the world burn. #Monsterdon

I still don't understand the rules for this dual, can we have a practice match first?
@monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Is there a sci fi movie that has the chutzpah to make the alien duel a dance contest #monsterdon

The people are tiny, and so is the amount of excitement you'll feel! #monsterdon

@Louisa a bit faster than the usual disintegration rate for a rock tho

#monsterdon

A test of bravery where you win by shoving your opponent onto a death plate. Because strength is the same as bravery.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

He is a guru of love.

#Monsterdon

You cannot have a Duel of Bravery to the death while wearing shirts that is Universal Law #Monsterdon

this is a stupid way to duel

#monsterdon

Oh, OF COURSE they take their shirts off for a duel.
#Monsterdon

Classics Captain Kirk “take off your shirts” moment…
#monsterdon

@himbovoorhees I just though of somethi.... I'm being told to shut up. #Monsterdon

@70sgayspaceangel 😆
#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

the combat rod is three discarded q-tips brought to tiny town.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"Get ready."

Prepare for waxing!

#monsterdon

No quarter called and no quarter given. Wow. #monsterdon Can you afford duels to the death on this planet?

Quarter? I wouldn't give this guy a nickel!

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

And once again, Gravity Doesn't Work Like That #Monsterdon

Shirtless wrestling with a rod? #Monsterdon

Combat rod? Hey now. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
Is everyone humming to make the sound of the "gravity/vaporizing plates"?

Apparently the atmosphere makes you smaller AND grow moss on your chest. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

This this literally the Kal-if-fee from Star Trek.

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

I think Chesty McBrilloHair has a real edge in this sumo match

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

when’s the monster showing up? #monsterdon

THE duel #Monsterdon

put your hand in the box

#monsterdon

The Combat Rod
is that what they call it on this asteroid? #monsterdon

#monsterdon King Wally kind of sounds like Bane with less highs and much less subwoofer. It's there though-

"You merely adopted the mcnugget, I was _born in it_"

So, how would the gra ity plates affect the air? Or are they activated by some minimum mass stuck on them?

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Put the WHAT in WHERE!? #Monsterdon

I see they managed to get their shirts off

#Monsterdon

gravitysumo #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

OK now they've settled on 'RAY-TON, primary and secondary stresses like 'raccoon'

@Violinknitter Though to be fair I think he was actually working on stuff kind of along these lines when he died

Or, close enough, accounting for the level of nonsense in this movie

#Monsterdon

This mute Raytonian woman Zaitha reminds me of the woman in the Star Trek episode The Empath.
#Monsterdon

Didn't look very immediate to me. #monsterdon

"I'd like to hang one on you."

#Monsterdon

Chapman: "I'd like to hang one on you."

Herron: "Hang what?"

#Monsterdon

These Raytons sure like making assumptions about how much this earth guy knows about their culture that they've told him literally nothing about and in some cases told him that they won't tell him about at all anyway.

@monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

We are getting tantalizingly close to a Gilbert and Sullivan musical number about the school that teaches the rules of duels on Rayton. #monsterdon

Maybe civilizations with only a few dozen citizens should have duels to the death. #monsterdon

First we’ve strip down to our skivvies. Then we fight. #Monsterdon

Death Linoleum STRIKES

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

The dialoge in this movie feels like it was AI generated.
#Monsterdon

"I'd like to hang one on ya!"
That sure sounds like flirting to me.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

#monsterdon "Dad Bods in Space!!"

*more* explaining.
