I mean, y'all have been pretty fast and loose with the spacewalks so far, they could have just walked out and disappeared. #monsterdon

Frank's kinda fussy, huh? #Monsterdon

Wait does that tape machine say "Transformer" on it? It's very blurry.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Did they bring in a pro athelete to play Beecher? #monsterdon

We didn’t like your rocket, so we yeeted it

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Look, the woman playing the woman who doesn't talk could NOT be worse than any of these male actors, and she's a heckofalot more beautiful than they are dammit this is just the patriarchy in action boo boo boo boo

Summary: “well ,that’s impossible” #Monsterdon

This graph paper of a screen looks just like a space ship! #monsterdon

#Monsterdon in this movie, they do apparently just get up and walk off their rockets all the time

@Taweret will "float off into the nightmare void" be the new "fuck off into the sea"?

#monsterdon

"Well thank got we got the rocket back, balsa ain't cheap on the moon!"

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"I can't work under these conditions!" --Frankchapman #PhantomPlanet #Monsterdon

Still can't unsee the Judge Doom eyes in that airpack.

#monsterdon

"Two men just don't walk off a rocked in the middle of....... SPACE" Almost lost that one too. This guy needs cue cards too. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

"It seems serious, sir, he left all his Judas Priest tapes behind." #monsterdon

"... Instructions teletyped in your recorder..." Ah, the future
#Monsterdon

Space junk warning.

#monsterdon

"but it doesn't make sense" seems to fit well enough in this movie then. #monsterdon

I just realized one of the two women of Phantom planet is mute and the only other woman is the switchboard operator on the moon. This movie is not going to pass the Bechdel test, is it?

#monsterdon

The tape recorder looks like something out of Fallout or Starfield

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

No. You cannot seriously tell me you're doing a FREE JUMP *BETWEEN* SHIPS WITHOUT A TETHER

#monsterdon

"So, blast off, and good luck" — Edward R. Murtow

#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe counterpoint: THROW MORE MEN INTO SPAAAAAAACE

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

so the recorder was Chekov's Recorder #monsterdon

Spacewalk technique: just jump, it'll be fine

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
crotch shot!

@starkraving666 And space docking!

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@Taweret Gonna run out of eligible ladies as wives at this rate #monsterdon

Don’t just accept the bride selling! Geez #Monsterdon

Nobody told me there'd be sword fighting #Monsterdon #thephantomplanet

Hell of a jump. #monsterdon

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet
Balsam rocket #2 hanging in space.

FROGMEN

OF

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

That was 100% a spaceship sword fight. #Monsterdon

@Taweret *running into someone you know from space school even though you're on a mysterious unknown asteroid* Hey, small world

#monsterdon

Rocket ship controls look like a re-purposed washing machine.

#Monsterdon

@knifeslinger Only took 20 minutes to track it down (there is a surprising amount of queer space romance out there): "One Giant Leap" by Kay Simone. And I think my little ace heart enjoyed it because it's the definition of a slow burn (rocketry pun not intended, but I'm leaving it in) and the reader don't have to sit through too many sex scenes early on.

#Monsterdon

The rockets are gonna go ass to ass! SO HAWT

#monsterdon

Blue Danube should be playing about now. #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

🎶🎶”Sometimes, all they neeed is the air that they breathe…”🎵🎵
#Monsterdon

So to be clear this is a movie about astronauts looking for an astronaut who was looking for astronauts? #monsterdon

Zetha was hoping to go to Earth and check out some goth clubs.

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

#Monsterdon They keep sending people to investigate?!

the more spaceships disappear the more they send #monsterdon

BLAST OFF

TAKE OFF

MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND, WHICH IS IT?

#monsterdon #phantomplanet

oh no, they're gonna be smol

#monsterdon

ok so this is a new brunet and a new... less-blond guy right? #monsterdon

"So blast off, and good luck!"

I'd prefer the Beautiful luck, sir. #Monsterdon

The tiny men also put pillows under his blanket in his bunker so NASA would think he's asleep #monsterdon

And food replicators?!!! #Monsterdon

#monsterdon she cant speak but she fuuucks

@CactuarJoe Jokes on them, it's got a busted air line #monsterdon

Unidentified object! Because humans haven't discovered transponders yet?

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

In some ways this seems like a precursor to “Space 1999”, minus the awesome uniforms.
#monsterdon

Now that they offered him a woman. Misogyny is out there.
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Why are the ships always flying the long way?

My future on Rayton.
#Monsterdon

Well dicks. #monsterdon

...Wait, this is Dude, Where's My Car? but in outer space. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon hahaha

ah, of course, this movie is just whole-ass capitalist propaganda #monsterdon

Chapman is having women thrown at him and he just wants to go home. Mhmm. #Monsterdon

Sorry you can't go back to earth but you are a free subject of the planet and oh also here have a wife too #Monsterdon

Me at work this year: "So,blast off, and good luck."

#Monsterdon

Welcome to space. You have total freedom. And by that we mean you're free to do exactly what we tell you and you can choose from any one of these two choices. #Monsterdon

the original breatharians #monsterdon

This town is like if Bedrock had a carbon monoxide leak. #monsterdon

Bad neighborhood. They hotwired his rocket #monsterdon

You TRASHED MY RIDE!? #Monsterdon

You just know he's going to choose the woman who doesn't speak. As is right and proper etc.

#monsterdon

Is the brunette a robot? She turns off when people leave the room she is always standing it.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Spoke too soon! Popular Girl is jealously loved by Local Man after all

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon ohh noo i have to live on this capitalist dream world where everyone tells me im smart and they offer me all their daughters to marry oh the horror

Ah, yes, oxygen, the base of the food pyramid
#monsterdon

We don't eat because we breathe nutrient dense air that's really smol!

@monsterdon

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

Smol oxygen means we’re not only small but we don’t need to eat much either
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon earthmen are dicks.

"It's good, what is it?"
"It's one of those asteroids from 20 minutes ago" #Monsterdon

Your whole planet is a piece of popcorn chicken, I think you're pretty set on food

#Monsterdon

Their advanced technology includes stone mattresses!

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

@SnoopJ it could still be top-down communism... i'm definitely getting more of a dystopian* communism vibe

*so far the main dystopian thing is just the compulsory heterosexuality, but i'm expecting more

#monsterdon

"This is good what is it?" It's the equivalent of your Earth's sweet meats' #Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

The hot one is mute? Get her some paper and pencil.
#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

@uptownsongclub tiny oxygen... eats man... woman inherits the earth. #monsterdon

I'm not seeing very much actual work happening here though. Lotta talking.

#monsterdon

oh lordt, is that "female jealousy" gonna spell these people's downfall? i mean 1961 is 1961 but like... #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👨‍🚀 👩‍🚀 🚀 ☄️🪐 😱

Do you think that the Raytonians like chonky chains on their jewelry or did Sessom find the human sized tiny chain and it just looks that big on him?

"...drink this to wash down your chemical bread."

#Monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

@ramsey@phpc.social Lady astronauts? Unthinkable!

#Monsterdon #PhantomPlanet

nothing grows here on planet tinypeanuts

#monsterdon #ThePhantomPlanet

Oxygen restores you to your original size. Yes, I see. #monsterdon

"Earthlings can eat rocks, right?" #monsterdon

It's true, nobody knows how to cope with free time. Too much free time, too little work, get your noses to the grindstone plebs!

#monsterdon

space protestants or smth
tiny cyberamish
#monsterdon

Ooooh, so we solve war by making everyone drones. #Monsterdon

Why not both?

#monsterdon
#ThePhantomPlanet

If this was a musical, there would be song called "You're a Strange One, Frankchapman."

@tag-monsterdon
#Monsterdon

Which classic scifi plot do we get? Local Woman instantly falls in love with Hero when he discovers their society, making Local Man incredibly jealous?

Ah no, I see it's Popular Girl tries to seduce Hero, while Good-hearted Shy Girl* is the one Hero should really be with

*The movies always imply or say she's less attractive, but it's a movie so she's just as conventionally beautiful

#Monsterdon

I think Herrom is going to be a problem.

#Monsterdon
