the Timeloop Café

It’s nice that the box was lined with padding and had pillows in it.

#Monsterdon

So…the krakken is the “last of the Titans?”

This will be a short film.

#Monsterdon

Zeus has many, many, many, many, many, many, many faults, as a god, but he does seem to genuinely care for his offspring…sometimes.

#Monsterdon

Dame Maggie Smith is the best.

#Monsterdon

The gods enjoy a great TTRPG with miniatures.

#Monsterdon

“Hi. I’m a poet. Who are you?”

“I’m the son of a god.”

“Oh, that tracks.”

#Monsterdon

“Once, he tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish.”

“Did he succeed?”

“No. I simply turned myself into a shark.”

I love Maggie Smith!

#Monsterdon

“It’s neither brass nor iron. It’s like no metal, I’ve ever seen.”

It’s probably steel. They would have been able to manufacture it around this time.

#Monsterdon

“The helmet has the power to render the wearer invisible.”

“Invisible?”

“Invisible.”

“Invisible?”

“Invisible…but you must take off all your clothes for it to work.”

#Monsterdon

“I’m invisible! Can’t you see that?”

“Well, no. Of course.”

#Monsterdon

He shouldn’t wear the helmet too much, lest the Dark Lord discover his whereabouts.

#Monsterdon

How did Perseus gain access to a sleeping princess’s chamber? WTF?! This is uber creeper level.

What did I miss?

#Monsterdon

So, she’s getting in the cage, but she’s not really getting in the cage because she’s asleep in the bed.

Meanwhile, Perseus is just standing there, invisible and gawking, like an idiot.

#Monsterdon

Does anyone understand why Pegasus even appeared randomly near Perseus?

#Monsterdon

Did they just flashback us to 5 minutes ago?

#Monsterdon

Andromeda, don’t go any farther! It’s a trap!

#Monsterdon

Oh, this is the guy she was supposed to marry and then she decided she hated him because a terrible accident deformed him.

#Monsterdon

It’s almost like she purposefully set up this wedding interruption.

#Monsterdon

“You know him?”

“Only…from…(I can’t tell her I saw him while my soul was captured by a giant vulture and taken to see Calibos)…a dream!”

#Monsterdon

Where can I get a tunic like Perseus?

#Monsterdon

“I saw you asleep.”

Creeper

#Monsterdon

“As she is my daughter, so Perseus becomes…my daughter, too.”

#Monsterdon

Gods are such dicks.

#Monsterdon

We have reached the slow part of the film.

#Monsterdon

True story. Shakespeare saw this movie, and it inspired Hamlet.

#Monsterdon

Zeus is a dick.

#Monsterdon

As a kid, I loved this mechanical owl.

#Monsterdon

YES! We have reached the Hamlet part of the film!

#Monsterdon

“The eye is all-powerful. Now, give us back the eye!”

You just told him it was all-powerful. Why would he even consider giving it back.

OMG! He gave it back! Idiot.

#Monsterdon

Who’s on #TeamMedusa? Come on! I’m rooting for Medusa. Perseus is a jackass.

#Monsterdon

This scene is after the bridge of death, where they have to answer the questions three, right?

#Monsterdon

Why did the water boil when the soldier fell in?

#Monsterdon

Dude, you threw away your shield. How can you even see anything now?

#Monsterdon

Got Medusa’s head in a bag? Check.

Got clockwork owl? Check.

Time to go kill a krakken.

#Monsterdon

Oh, right. This scene with the scorpions. I forgot about this.

#Monsterdon

Calibos was dealt a really bad hand. I can’t really blame him.

#Monsterdon

Why is Perseus crawling on the ground after drinking water? He seemed fine just a moment ago.

#Monsterdon

SIDE BOOB!

#Monsterdon

I guess she needed to bathe before she died.

#Monsterdon

Poseiden just gets to hang out in the water, all day and look floaty.

#Monsterdon

Pegasus is so slow!

#Monsterdon

You’d think with a task so important, he’d have already had Medusa’s head ready.

#Monsterdon

You can stop aiming the head, now, dude.

#Monsterdon

Everyone’s cheering, even though, moments earlier, they were all, like, “The gods demand this, so okay.”

#Monsterdon

This poet hasn’t once uttered one line of poetry during the entire film.

#Monsterdon

That was a movie!

Once again, thank you @Taweret for hosting, @Cherizilla for #MonsterdonBingo, and everyone else for making it awesome!

Cheers!
