jonny (good kind)Can't guarantee I'll make it through this one. Hercules was kind of an exception to my typical "no period pieces/no Greek/roman stuff" rules #monsterdon
maybe dont go around announcing you're going to dethrone the king around a bunch of the kings men and whatnot #monsterdon
how come this dude is wearing a bag #monsterdon
dude you want to pick people based on how good of sailors they are not... whatever this is #monsterdon
the costume department is like "hmm what did ancient guys wear, probably like diapers and pillowcases" #monsterdon
what in the fuck is that. do not leave that animatronic snake babe on my ship #monsterdon
boat knowers of #monsterdon, is that sail what you'd be needing to go to the edge of the earth #monsterdon
just dessicate my ass on deck in my diaper #monsterdon
yeah see the risk of going around announcing that you're going to dethrone the king around the king's men is that you might actually be talking to the king himself
obviously when the giant statue comes alive and starts coming after you you just drop the god damn brooch pin and scram #monsterdon
of course! the giant statue is only held together by the diesel engine in its ankle!
#monsterdon
#monsterdon
well now that the statue is dead, waste not want not, go and get your ass equipped with giant anal beads and whatever else was in there. the gods probably smile upon that kind of shit #monsterdon
i looked away for five seconds and now a bunch of demons have baited a blind guy into an open field torment sesh with a plate of grapes #monsterdon
was greek mythology concerned with sin? i didn't think it had like a set of commandments or the concept of sin #monsterdon
homies have had the concept of fashion and not wearing only diapers this whole time they just choose to diaper up and get a full body sunburn for fun #monsterdon
Neia masks@jonny To reduce the amount of laundry they have to do, probably

so they're doing all this to go get some rug and convince everyone that the gods are real and therefore inspire a popular revolt that installs this guy as the king? #Monsterdon
i am literally asking because some stories don't have like a narrative arc and that's fine, epics can just be epics and lengthy series of things happening one after another, but it's also a movie and usually movies have plots #monsterdon
Plaid@jonny Greek historical mythos. The raving lunacy of horny teens. And the writing quality to match. #monsterdon #JasonAndTheArgonauts
don't question me while i'm holding my little guy obelisk necklace, diaper man #monsterdon
what the hell man i literally just deployed my giant fish man to save your ass and how you're throwing your little guy obelisk necklace overboard and suggesting as king you will promote a secular society less reliant on the gods? #monsterdon
throw the guy a courtesy wave as you pass by or something man, #monsterdon
SnoopJ@jonny don't forget to tip your god of the sea
never question a captain who never takes a turn rowing and dives overboard to bring an unknown dame on board and tells her our entire mission #monsterdon
David Zaslavsky@jonny He did offer to steer that one time
although I guess he didn't
yeah i guess that's what you get for having a crew of mercenaries that you chose just because they are the strongest guys without them having any ideological alignment or commitments #monsterdon
having a bunch of exactly the same looking ladies dancing around at all times is a cultural universal #monsterdon
how do you go so wrong as to end up with this lego wig guy as your king #monsterdon
is that guy captain picard or what #monsterdon
see, dumbass, you told the king to his face that you were going on a mission to dethrone him, and then even when you realized the person you told your whole plan to was the king himself, you did nothing to follow up on how that might have compromised your opsec, and now look at you. the kings son was just on your boat the whole time #monsterdon
20 minutes left to escape prison, steal the fleece, sail home, marry the babe, dethrone the king, and revitalize the religious beliefs of your countrymen #monsterdon
fuck me up with this hydra, as usual in harryhausen movie, the final-15 monster shoudl have been the whole movie #monsterdon
i wonder what uh king pelias is up to #monsterdon
jesus christ you can't just cut music and arrow the savior woman in the back what is wrong with you #monsterdon
you know what fuck it, 5 minutes left, skeletons. let's go. #monsterdon
honestly if more movies had the courage to abandon everything and pivot to a skeleton war instead of trying to resolve their plot... #monsterdon
fuck yeah dude!!! with these skeletons!!!! all things are possible!!!! only skeletons in anything forever!@!!! #monsterdon
the skeletons fucking rule! long live the skeletons! fuck the gods! fuck the kings! only the skeletons! #monsterdon
ONE MINUTE LEFT IN THE MOVIE "oh no i guess that didn't work out. THE END" #monsterdon
Blake C. Stacey@jonny the crew of the Argo did not include a hero named OPSECos
[object Object]@jonny The fleece can cure plagues and famines across an entire nation. Pelias had a usurious reign. It's not stated outright, but we can infer that he caused famines and/or plagues, I think. So this is the "and once you have the throne, then what?" planning?
