yay! that was fun. thanks, @miru !
@moira yeah can't argue with that
i absolutely would've used this noise when i was a recording musician
i don't know what for but i'd've used it
(maybe kaiju meat?)
okay I don't know where the foley team found that HRNNNNNN noise, but it's pretty great
oh dang dragon guy has more heads than anpanman!
@diazona Oh, I don't think it needs one. It's doing just fine without
puppy charge!
@diazona @moira @conquest_of_biscuits I wonder if regional pronunciation breaks speech too much. Doesn't subtle intonation change the meanings of words with same basic phonetics? It would seem logical that writing would eliminate that. (Whether it's in pen or just tracing the character out on the palm of your hand)
Wow those Deadly Light Blades live up to their name
BE LIKE BILLY
@allanb @moira @conquest_of_biscuits Oh that's interesting, I hadn't heard about that! I guess it makes sense, although I wouldn't expect that situations where you need to disambiguate by writing are all that common... I should ask some of my Chinese friends.
Those are serious golden boobies.

Glacier Queen's bra is made from giant metal apostrophes.
That speedboat scene could spawn a whole series
I'm thinking Charlie's Angels but with monsters
Those are... rivets?
#monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #superinframan
@Terencio yeah, because it's _cool_
I just realised she took over the Time Tunnel first. That's good planning!
@allanb Yeah good point. I guess I was thinking, to me that seems like a less obvious difference than the tonality, if you don't know either language, but that could definitely be a matter of opinion.
@conquest_of_biscuits @moira @allanb huh, not that I'd know, but those seem like very odd words to show up in any dialect/variant of Chinese.
megahertz, volts, whatever works
IMPERIAL BATTLESHIP! STOP THE etc
it's like she's wearing a candy corn cravat
oh gross, I wasn't expecting him to get squashed like that
I'm gonna... serve you... with copious amounts... of BUTTER! [flings]
wut Inframan can grow too? That came out of nowhere
Okay, that GROW! was pretty good.
A good maniacal laugh is the most important weapon of all
that bug certainly has lasted
Inframan has revealed his secret identity though
This may be the closest I've seen any #Monsterdon movie (official or double feature) get to Turkish Star Wars, and I am here for it
Always wear a helmet kids.
I feel like we watched this one before, and pretty recently. #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #inframan
OK just so you know dude, this is the exact opposite of "watch him" as you were ordered to do
not only are the inframan blueprints in there, but probably also the mantis fist diagrams
@starkraving666 I'd like to get to know her, see if we have any chemistry before I commit to anything.
I dunno, I'm kinda lusting over Witch Eye there, and her Really Bullets Bra.
i'm p sure that whatever is going on with his eyes is the same as what was happening with the mummy's eyes #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature
I mean I wouldn't mind having the monster eat someone at some point
but where's the floppy disk? she had to put his memories on a floppy disk! it's the rules.
This scene is giving me vibes of Invasion of the Bee Girls
(I'm surprised, I thought I had blocked that one out)
wow these guys really do look like the Boneheads, don't they
Well, as a viewer I appreciate that extended battle sequence, but as a practical matter you could have tried vaporizing the monster *first*
Makes showers of sparks. Light fuse and get away. #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature #inframan
(She said just as we get into a fighting scene that is _pure_ HK fighting cinema style. But before that!)
Oh maybe the monster *is* trained in kung fu (or some martial art)
You can _really_ see the Chinese Opera influence on the fighting styles in this film, even as they're copying Japanese kaiju tropes. It's neat.
aww, mom and son have matching hair, how sweet #monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature
"Why are you wrecking my interiors, dolt?"
Apparently Dragon Moms original name is Demon Princess Elzebub. #monsterdon #monstermiru #inframan
I like the robot medical set a lot.
team rotary saw to the rescue!
wait, these guys stole alien space balls _too_?
Go Tentacle Monster Go!
We have cow tipping, they have car tipping
oh man they're maxing out all three primary ink colours! how can we survive this?
And that's what SDF Elvis Presley gets for driving a Volkswagon!
The guards look like puppies
I want them to be puppies
Roger Ebert gave Inframan 3 out of 4 stars btw https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/infra-man-1976 (the US release dropped the "super" prefix)
You can't tell me that fountain water _doesn't_ taste like strawberry
it absolutely tastes like strawberry
Sure, can't be worse. #monsterdon #monstermiru #InfraMan
I really want this glasses-wearing general guy to be a secret supervillain
@bunnyhero If we did what we should, none of us would be here
i am half-watching #SuperInframan on #monsterdonDoubleFeature, i've seen this many times, it's one of my favourites! but i should probably get ready for bed soon
So they're Ice Age monsters but are buried under *earth* 🤔
Wait I thought the glacier queen ran away and froze herself up on a mountain
There was a hit song and everything
#Monsterdon #MonsterdonDoubleFeature #SuperInfraMan #WrongFrozen
wuuuuut underground kaiju
Just turn the knob to "Normal", that makes everything work
This escalated quickly
