I appreciate how vindictive Godzilla is in this movie. Like, he's a real heel here. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
This scene with the mushroom cloud is really far more effective than the rest of the film it's in. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Like, that's not a scene that should be in a movie that spends this much time trying to convince people that monsters are being led to battle by vengeful souls trapped in rocks. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Ooooh, that's a callback to Godzilla's first appearance in the first movie :D
I like being able to catch stuff like this now :D #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
(though honestly I think it was more effective in the first film) #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Godzilla like, "God damn it, I hate moles." #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
"I thought you said your dog doesn't bite."
"That is not my dog." #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Mean to puppy :( #monsterdon

Looney Tunes closing music plays #monsterdon

"Hey miss, will we die?"
Well, I'm over twenty five, so I should be fine. You're a kid, tho, so you're probably boned. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Alright, who dropped the giant styrofoam packing peanut in the ocean -_- #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
I do love the bargain basement of the airwaves <3 Let's hear it for the losers :D #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Hi Momthra :D #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
"I taught my men to be proud of what they did!"
They didn't do anything. A scientist who didn't trust your fucking military took Godzilla out with a superweapon that he took to his grave to keep out of your hands #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Man, fuck being a reporter, Yuri should join the Tour de France. Woman's keeping up with Godzilla on a bike #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
SARGEANT SHOUTY!!
SPECIAL DEFENSE SQUAD!!!!
REPORTING FOR DUTY!!!!!! #monsterdon

"It's the first time I've seen action."
...I thought you had a daughter, sir? #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Hold on, I'm just gonna remember that one time Godzilla got got by a pair of Mothra grubs :D
They literally String Shot him to death and kicked his ass into the ocean :D
Oh yeah, that's a fun memory :D #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
So, Tackle, Poison Needle... You think Mothra's got Fairy Wind, or is this more of a Gen 1 situation? #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Godzilla's pretty crunchy in this one. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Mm, Ghidora's full of red tempera paint. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Godzilla like, "What part of 'Embodiment of Human Technological Hubris' did you not understand?" #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Mothra like, "I'm a support Pokemon, I do know Sacrifice." #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Ghidora's gonna drown Godzilla like a New Jersey mafia don. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
"Why does the commander have to go himself!?"
Because I'm a man's man, kid. I'm a man's man's man. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
"Promise you'll come back alive."
Sure, kid. I mean, I haven't got a quarter of the cojones on that pacifist scientist from the first movie, so I'm sure I'll be fine. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Yes folks, the military's out there fighting Godzilla for our freedom! How Godzilla got our freedom, I'll never know. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Ghidora like, "Oh shit, you found my missing temporal lobe! Thanks guys, I should be okay from here." #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Ghidora learned Draco Meteor! #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
...So if the Guardian Monsters are specifically empowered by the souls of people who died in WWII, precisely which souls are, at this moment, frying Godzilla with a bug zapper? Is this a Manchuria thing or more of a gift from the Phillipenes? #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Though I suppose in retrospect the whole resurrection thing makes sense. Probably the answer to the question of how you kill a monster made of the souls of the dead is NOT, "durrrr maybe try murder." #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Yup, that sure is a Godzilla sphincter right there. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Turns out the real solution to the problem of nuclear vengeance was just "give him a stomach ulcer." #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
So how long you figure it takes before dad's skin starts sloughing off from radiation poisoning? #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Well done, General Schwartzkopf. #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Yes, thank the entire military for protecting us from the threat of nuclear annihilation! Don't stop to ask where that threat actually comes from, just salute like a good girl! #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
Good CG heart, tho #monsterdon
Cactuar Joe@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza
All-Out Attack does have one of the better plots for a Godzilla flick -- it's far more coherent, for a start -- but the pro-military bits really do irritate the shit out of me >_> #monsterdon
Paco Hope@paco@infosec.exchange
@CactuarJoe@retro.pizza I thought Godzilla was sometimes the good guy. Is it always that they want to kill him? I thought he saved Japan from some of these monsters in the past. I was confused that they were happy to see him die.

@paco@infosec.exchange @CactuarJoe@retro.pizza For whatever reason, Godzilla seemed much more hostile and destructive this time around, so I understand the hostility towards him. Also, those glassy/milky eyes! #Monsterdon
