Ooo, has Morbius finally accepted his shadow self? Get him an Evoker, see if he's got a Persona! #Monsterdon

C'mon over here, honey, let's watch your home blow up. How romantic. #Monsterdon

Yeah yeah, as though a million souls cried out at once and then were silenced. Lunch? #Monsterdon

The end! Yeah, so nobody in the 50s knew how to write a believable romance, huh? #Monsterdon

But yeah, that was fun! You can see what *literally every sci fi movie made for four decades after* was chasing, huh. #Monsterdon

Shower thoughts about Forbidden Planet:

Y'know, I think that might've been the first 1950s movie we've seen in a LONG time where the monster was NOT Communism. #Monsterdon

Also, I'm a little annoyed the opening narration *specifically says* "Men AND women in rocket ships" and then gives us an all-male crew #Monsterdon

Anyway I'm headcanoning Cookie as an egg just to shore up the numbers, anybody with me? #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe moreover, the film was made in 1956 with an all-white crew, even though the US military was desegregated in 1948 and real ship and air crews were mixed-race by then. We can only assume the United Planet government is pro-eugenics and has "abolished DEI" in the intervening century ;_;
