I hide in the grass like that all time in Zelda and Horizon. I guess that's where they got the idea. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Really not selling the robots as fearsome opponents here guys #monsterdon

@jonny they're with the (former) governor of delta-3, the ones deposed by Jack Palance #monsterdon

so the same model can detect one human from 3km but these editions of the same model can't detect two humans from 3m?

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

DON'T GO INTO THE LONG GRASS!

...Actually, do. Robots vs. Velociraptors sounds like an actually cool monster movie. #Monsterdon

wonder if they asked this farmer's permission before they stalked a bunch of "robots" through his wheat. #monsterdon

Are the robots the same actors from Argo Versus the Faceless Giants (who were neither faceless nor giant)?

#monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

The robots are stirring up the pollen hoping their allergies will kill them. #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Dude ODs on radiation for like 2 minutes and he is dying. Bunch of feral kids hiding from killer bots being rained on with radiation all their lives and they just have a bit of psoriasis. What is the deal here? #Monsterdon

Now the ship is rotating the other way

This is definitely the plot development we all needed

#Monsterdon

I don't feel anything either #monsterdon

"The Shape of things to Come" makes you long for the edge of your seat, frenetic pacing of Star Trek The Motion Picture.

#monsterdon

@jonny@neuromatch.social They're the faction that stayed loyal to the original governor of planet Wossit-3 and they're trying to stage a countercoup

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Humans not found. Hiding within foliage.

Activate flamethrowers.

#monsterdon

I'm pretty sure that the Orion Nebula isn't unbelievable.

#monsterdon

spectrum drives were notoriously unreliable, "stringy floppy" was such a bad idea

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Ohh! What does the Stabby button do? #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

The old guy must be in a different movie #monsterdon

Is that old man growling in his sleep? Aww he must be chasing a car in his dreams.
And I am collecting more shots of Starstreak's alt mode.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

Was Sparks using contractions before that mysterious incident he had?
#Monsterdon

@yatsu Oo, my DNA is unravelling, oo my telomeres are exploding, get a job! #Monsterdon

who are the red suit guys are they on our team or what are they doing over there #monsterdon

"We can get the RADIC and back to these kids in a few days."

600 hours times two. Yeah, that'll work.

#Monsterdon

why did our heroes abandon sick orphan kids when one of them could've just stayed with them tho?

#monsterdon

Person: let's get something to eat
Robot: none for me, thank you
Person: ...
Robot: Maybe later?

WTF?
#monsterdon

No one fucking asked you, Sparks. #Monsterdon

The ONE thing I respect in this film is that everyone has seatbelts.
#Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe people who think dying of radiation poisoning is a personality. #monsterdon

"I'm not tired. I just took a huuuuuge dump. Really takes it out of you sometimes."

#monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Sparks living up to his name. #monsterdon

did sparx just. uh.

#monsterdon

You can cut the romantic tension in this movie with a spoon

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Taking the tape out of sparks to wind it with a pencil through the spindle #monsterdon

Time for more sexy docking iiiiin spaaaaaace.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

@Taweret It's only for 25 days. They'll be fine #monsterdon

Tape

#monsterdon

In lieu of #monsterdon (who am I kidding I never do that anyways) i am running my first in person #ttrpg in a very long time tonight. 🎉🎉

In the future all robots are programmable by DIP switch.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Cheeky robot. #Monsterdon

I want sleeve pockets. #monsterdon

Oops. Sparks original programming coming through? Robot Wars II!

Please?

#monsterdon

The best plan for these kids is to abandon them.
I am all for this plan.
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

We're told the Robot Wars ended seven years ago. These children would have been really, really young back then.

#Monsterdon

why did we abandon sick children in a field again?

#monsterdon

The director told him to look like he was trying to eat a popsicle someone else was holding with his eyes closed. #Monsterdon

So they met some kids they couldn't help, found the dude they wanted to get repairs from was dead, and then left.

What, exactly was the point of the last twenty minutes of the film? #Monsterdon

"What a strange experience. I don't feel anything." - Me when trying to get high on weed. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

@Taweret They survived the almost total destruction of the human race, hanging around some field in Canada next to irradiated broken weapons for a few days should be easy.

#monsterdon

That was the worst warp drive activation sequence ever in terms of coolness per unit time

#Monsterdon

Saucer section docked

VICTORY MUSIC

#Monsterdon

"i don't feel anything"
yeah, we can see that, you just left a dozen kids in a field on an irradiated planet. #monsterdon

@plaidtron3000 was trying to make fun of the guy's weird breathing and now he's choking on his own spit lmao #monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Best shot we've had of the Starstreak yet. A little too long, but A+ for the camera position.

#Monsterdon

These kids have been living in the field for years. Eating .... what? #monsterdon

Children! Mutant children!

#Monsterdon

“god I knew I shouldn’t have eaten all that chili before we went on this mission” #monsterdon

"I guess the children don't like me, a robot, because robots slaughtered their entire families" well well well looks like the woke mob is putting critical race theory in their sci fi! #monsterdon

And the TRIUMPHANT MUSIC swells in the background, as our heroes depart, having solved ALL THE PROBLEMS ON EARTH!

...Right? #Monsterdon

seems like one of them could've stayed with the kids instead of just abandoning them in a field

#monsterdon

joy that stick dude

joy that stick

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

Oooo space docking! So hawt. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

BACK DAT ASS UP. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

@Taweret In 600 hours

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"...initiating docking maneuvers with mother ship."
<everyone says "eeewwwwwww!">

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@apLundell They return 20 years later to a ring of small skeletons.

#monsterdon

Guy clutching his face and gasping. Looks just like me when I've been eating Chipotle. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

“No, I feel fine…I’ve made it this far, I’ll make it through to the end” the audience buckling in #monsterdon

that's a lot of switches, most of this set's budget must've gone to the local radio shack

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

So they just dragged the kids out of their shelter so that they could leave them in a field? What were they trying to do here? #Monsterdon

@amyfou They even whitened up the non-white kids with those wigs

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

"You kids just stay here."

Does she mean, right there on that spot? Or just On Earth?

#monsterdon

i guess once grampa dies, they can give the kids his rations? what's the plan here, peoples. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon hey, how come only one of these kids isn't a Children of the Corn? #TheShapeOfThingsToCome1979

"They're children..."
OF THE DAMNED!
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

...Aaaaand the kids jump up and begin eating Jason alive.

No?

...Please? #Monsterdon

Sparks can sense Kim's lifesigns from long distances but not the garbage bag creatures in the woods right by them? #monsterdon

Why are half of these kids Children of the Not Corn with white fright wigs? #Monsterdon

they've got enough to do. so finding my irradiated corpse won't be a problem at all. it'll be fiiiiine.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

This movie cribbed a bunch of stuff from ST:TOS, and then I guess ST:TNG cribbed stuff from this movie. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

"They children!" um yeah, they are obviously children from the Village of the Damned, no thank you #monsterdon

#Monsterdon Children of the Corn!

“Listen babe, I just don’t do kids. Ya dig?”

#Monsterdon

i bet you feel like a real JERK now jason! #monsterdon

53 minutes in and not a single event or character in this movie is an odd choice #monsterdon

So many people need RADIC-Q-2, but they wont' receive it for reasons not yet explained. #monsterdon #theshapeofthingstocome

Dude, are you going Cold Equations?
#Monsterdon

In this movie, radiation sickness is like having a mild bad trip.

#monsterdon

That was what he was thinking about being in the film too

#monsterdon

Did they run out of wigs for the kids? #Monsterdon

are they taking the children with them? i, uh... i'm not sure how i feel about that, actually. #monsterdon

"Always you with your dead bodies! Can't you see we have crusty muppet children to deal with!?" #monsterdon

Adults not caring about kids' consent, round ... heck, I'm too tired to count. Just remove their ghille suit and push their sleeves up without even asking.

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

robot fucks off rather than hang around with the kids

#monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

@apLundell Maybe it will turn into a zombie movie?

#Monsterdon #TheShapeOfThingsToCome

I like to think that the guy in the Sparks the Robot costume and the guy in the Baba Yaga's house costume from the Soviet Jack Frost movie became penpals #monsterdon

And he walks in the shot right after I make that joke...
#Monsterdon #ShapeOfThingsToCome

..and they're all the same age...o.O

#Monsterdon #TheShapeofThingstoCome

If Sparks can teleport, why does he even need to ride in the Jeep? #monsterdon

@blogdiva the wigs are killing me someone get wardrobe on the phone #monsterdon

I thought they were going to the planet with the medicine. Why are they on earth? Is it so they can save on sets? #monsterdon
