What Mothy Things did you learn??

[RVR II]

Giant larva & moths are real

I learned that this is somehow not a parody. The idea of a MOTH being a giant kaiju monster seems like they were trying to parody the genre. Which by 1961 probably would have had enough movies to be able to do that. Or maybe somebody just bet the director that he couldn't make a monster movie out of the most innocuous thing. Yet somehow this character has gone on to become a beloved kaiju.

I learned that even the best Japanese Monster films are sillier than silly string and as riffable-if not more so-than classic MST3K movies like Extra-Terrestrial Visitors (i.e. Pod People) and The Final Sacrifice.

I learned that, for once, Japanese adults are actually capable of dealing with the situation, without the assistance obnoxious children.

I learned you can break a non-disclosure pact, kidnap 2 women, straight up gun down dozens of natives, publicly display said women as your slaves, and the law won't have a problem with any of that.

I learned that playing bells to attract the monster you know is attracted to the 2 girls singing, when you already have the girls and could have just put them on the symbol, seemed like a unnecessary step. But at least it made no sense.
