#monsterdon Anyway, that finishes the Gargoyle movie. It was really kind of a bummer, what with all the genocide. I award it 3 giant fuzzy eggs out of 5, mostly because it was strange.
characters in decreasing order of likeability:
makeshift bikini girl
motel milf
designated egg petters
them 50 bloodhounds
the yazirian
doctor sniffles
wizened hat guy
captain demonology
wrongly accused motorcycle dudes
all other characters

#monsterdon anyway, this film seems to be taking a middle route between "humans are the real monsters!" and "no, the monsters are the real monsters!" in that the gargoyles are aggressive and dangerous but also seem to have good reason to fear and hate humans (who keep killing them over time, it seems).
It's more like a long running ethnic conflict between the humans and the winged reptile people, who can be understood as a displaced tribe.

Thanks to @Taweret@octodon.social for coordinating this weeks #monsterdon flick.
Hope the hurricanes are holding back, and gargoyles are not involved in any way.

oh man, Gargoyles came out in 1972. the first Alien movie was 1979. now we know what kinda movie Ridley Scott likes to steal from. those eggs are totally in Alien.
#monsterdon ...I have questions about the aerodynamics in this scene...
OH MY GOD IS THAT THE END!?!? The gargoyle and gargoylette just fucked off into the sΜΆeΜΆaΜΆ sky and we roll credits?!
Wow. Dang. That sure was a thing that just happened.
Thank you, @Taweret@octodon.social! Thank you for the bingo card, @cheribaker!

@floatybirb don't we all want to be covered in fur and petted? Particularly on Mastodon? #monsterdon

#monsterdon If the gargoyles have placed the survival of their species and thus the viability of their eggs at the absolute tip-top of their priority list, why did they just give their main prisoner a reason to believe that the genocide of his species was the near-term plan and then chuck him down into a pit, unsupervised, right near the egg chamber..?
I know everyone is busy here but that just sounds like poor planning. Maybe gargoyles are as incompetent at survival as giant pandas.
