#mst3k max

[cornsword]

This is the year TV’s Frank would have gotten his $20, here’s hoping that Max imherited this treasured heirloom and that cashing fourth party savings bonds is uh at all legal.

Oh, you're still into that? I was kinda hoping you had changed your mind.

[jaz-it-up]

further conclusions from the mst3k revival:

gpc's voice, while jarring, very much suits her

hampton yount (crow) and jonah ray were both clearly msties before joining the show

baron vaughn (tom) took an... interesting approach to tom, but it's not so bad that it's a disservice to kevin murphy. vaughn's tom is much more of a mean gay™ than murphy's and it's honestly really funny

it's so strange seeing tom and crow have arms that work. and seeing gpc all strung up in the ceiling like that. not in a bad way it's just strange

he's a drummer, he's a rapper, he's got a lovely singing voice, what can't he do? jonah's lovable, though not quite the blorbo material that joel and mike are

felicia day is serving so hard as kinga forrester go off girl. i do wonder exactly how she came about and how old she is, considering she's supposedly clayton's daughter and clayton died at some point between seasons 7 and 8, but that's also 500-ish years we're talking about there. whatever i'll figure out that whole timeline at some point

i really like all the little wooden models!! they're so cute!!

the theme song fucks!! the original should have had the trumpet parts and the bari sax and the epic drum fill that the new one has

oh so this is where the "the mads cut off oxygen in the sol during movie sign" thing came from

oh my god the hosts are the wiggles. joel is red, mike is blue, jonah is yellow and emily is purple

ONE OF CROW'S PUPPETEERS IS THE SANDERS SIDES PUPPETS GUY?????

jonah referring to kinga as "sir" gives me deep and indescribable gender envy

also really cool that baron vaughn was on dropout go off king

i hate the unrequited kinga/max subplot so much

jonah does the exact same little hops during movie sign that joel does omg jonah ray was 100% a hardcore mstie

there are. a lot more suicide jokes/references than in the original. were the writers okay?? i mean it's pretty in character, especially for crow, but like. y'all good??

there's so many songs!! i love it!!

[orbot5]

I need another Mst3k movie.NOW!!but they should do something like muppet caper bro it bee so good id eat it up IMMEDIATELY!!!like oh my god bro literally!!!like kinga and max have this idea to make there own bad movie, (maybe they’ve already done this idk,,) so it’d be like a mix of most wanted n muppet caper bro OH MY GOD PLS RIFFTAX🙏and they’d get to go to earth it be actually so cool please guys guys guys please…..(please🤗) (and mahbe they’ve already done this, if they have, please tell me!!!) (I love muppet caper so much)(the soundtrack goes so hard)

kinga tampers in god’s domain

(This MST3K monster au story is a collab with @classicrocker2000)

(Btw the monster au stories is in the same universe! Warning! Contains a dead body and spoilers for season 11 and 13)

Weddings don’t usually end with a dead groom, but tonight was a night to remember. Kinga watched Jonah get killed by Reptilicus and the carnage that followed. Now, she stood in her lab, still in her wedding veil and humming a little working song. On the bright side, Max’s little stunt has secured more funding for a second season and a trip to Mars for him. The downside however, was that Jonah was dead.

She didn’t mind though.

Kinga may not have been an inventor, but she was something else. Kinga continued humming as she laid down all the stuff needed to bring a man back to life: needle, thread, CDs, and of course, the body (coming soon, of course).

“Finally I get to play in my domain! Not those invention exchanges!” Kinga laughed. She poured a red bubbling liquid into a flask and mixed it with some glowing blue powder, producing a glowing purple liquid that she placed in a Gizmocratic institute patented fast fridge to keep it cool for the body much later.

She smiled. Everyone had their hobbies and her very girly hobby was messing with bodies, dead, living. Preferably dead and creating new life out of it. There was a certain thrill in modifying the building blocks of life. To mold flesh like clay into something new. She tapped her foot impatiently and pressed a button that was marked with the label Ardy.

“How’s the body retrieval Ardy?”

“We’ve got everything Kinga, you sure you want to do this?” The mysterious maintenance man said with hesitation in his voice.

“Of course I do! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Send it or else!” Kinga shrieked before calming down. 

“Whatever you say ma’am, Body in the hole,” Ardy said.

There was a thunk, then another and another and another, Kinga checked the chute to see some of the body parts of her lawfully deadded stunt husband.

She slipped the parts into the fast fridge as more body parts came down. Bits of a finger here, an arm there, a nearly intact head with smashed glasses and so many other parts.

“Well then, time to work.” Kinga said.

After many days of hard work, Kinga stepped back to admire her handiwork on the operating table, medical tools on the side bench and the purple liquid in a syringe waiting to be put in. Jonah’s body was covered in scars, on most of the joints was a connection stitch. Before anything else though, there was one more thing she needed to attach

The head.

Kinga kissed Jonah’s forehead and got to work on bringing his head together. She picked up his head and turned to see the back of his head, checking if the ears were sewn on properly, then she saw it. 

A tiny latch.

“What the hell?” Kinga said. She opened the latch and nearly dropped his head in shock.

Kinga was staring at a floppy disk slot. Holy shit. This was big.

Her stunt husband was a robot. He didn’t even know that he was a robot!

“So that’s why Reptilicus spat you out. Don’t worry Jonah, I won't break your world. I will put you back together and make you whole again!” Kinga said, she sang the last sentence with a giddy laugh and held Jonah’s head close, spinning as she did so. She placed Jonah’s head down onto his neck and carefully stitched it together, keeping the thoughts of the revelation at the back of her mind.

“You’re nearly ready for life, my test subject. But you need one more thing, my staff of life.” Kinga smirked, grabbing the syringe and injecting it into Jonah’s neck. Then with a flourish, Kinga laid down the syringe and twirled to a lever marked: HENCHMEN LEVER

“CLEAR!” Kinga yelled, pulling the lever.

The room dimmed as a circular hole opened up in the ceiling, down came an electric emitter which crackled to life. As it powered up, Kinga could feel her hair stand on end and frizz up, she smiled wildly as the bolt struck Jonah, causing all of his veins to glow purple for a moment.

Perfect. Kinga flicked the lights back on with a smile and loomed over Jonah.

Jonah’s eyes snapped open. He screamed.

“WELLLLCOME BACK JONAH!” Kinga said.

Jonah’s eyes darted around in a blind panic. The last thing he recalled was the crushing pain of getting chomped by Reptilicus and an overwhelming feeling of peace. Now, he was back on the moon, tied down and somehow alive.

“Kinga, what did you do?!”

“Isn’t it obvious, Heston? I tampered in God's domain and won! I brought you back from the dead. I—you get the picture.” Kinga said, untying Jonah and standing him up.

“You could’ve kidnapped someone else!”

“Pshaw, Netflix already asked for a season 12, and I have to build up your popularity. If you die, then we can’t have Joel vs. Mike vs. Jonah debates, can we?” Kinga smiled, grabbed Jonah’s hand and walked with the undead man.

Jonah couldn’t shake the feeling he was being paraded around like some trophy. An invention to be shown, a creation only belonging to her. Every bonehead he passed seemed to glance with a level of either horror or surprise.

Was he really that horrifying to look at, or was it that he came back? 

Either way the bots were going to have a nasty shock once he was back on the SOL.

On the SOL, while Tom was hovering in the background holding various doodads and knick-knacks for the goal of fixing m weavly, Crow was waiting by the umbillicus.

“Hey Crow, what are you doing?”

“Kinga told me she’s sending a surprise package. I’ve got 10 bucks it's the next poor sap who will get shot to space.”

“Yeah okay. Good luck.” Tom said, happily floating away.

Crow, meanwhile, sighed to himself. Once again, they were alone, and would soon have to get used to another new face. He always wondered what happened to the guy before Jonah but he shouldn’t think about that.

There was a thunk.

“Huh, that's one way to send up a captive.” Crow said. He opened the hatch and was immediately hit by a body.

“She sent up a corpse?! TOM! SHE SENT UP A CORPSE, OH THE HORROR! THE HORROR!” 

Tom flew in response to Crow’s screams, it wasn’t long until he started screaming too.

“Guys it’s me!” The body yelled over the panicked bots screams.

The body got up and dusted himself off, Crow in his panic noticed the body was covered in scars and how it was familiar with thick black glasses and the yellow jumpsuit. Wait a second.

“Jonah, is that you?”

Jonah nodded. 

“Kinga brought me back to life, not sure if I’m thankful or not.” Jonah said with a confused smile.

“Where’s your hand?!” Crow screamed.

Jonah yelped. His right hand had fallen clean off and was on the floor, moving as if it was still attached to his body. Jonah froze in place. This wasn’t happening. He shouldn’t actually be able to move his hand.

Yet the disattached hand moved towards the space trucker. Crawling up Jonah’s right leg before he grabbed his hand and cleanly put it back on.

“Seems I got a Re-animator thing going on.” 

“Wait you do? Freaky.” Tom said. Jonah walked over to the bench, observing the pile of M.Weavly’s parts on it, he looked up at Tom with some confusion and a little smile.

“Looky here, seems like someone wants to do some little robotics, want some help?” Jonah smirked. He was about to reach for the toolbox on the bench when Crow tugged him on the jumpsuit. He looked down at the golden robot with some confusion.

“What do you want, Crow?”

Crow stayed quiet and hugged Jonah’s torso.

“I'm happy you’re back.” 

Jonah didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know how they thought of him, they liked him? They actually missed him? Jonah didn’t know what to say except to hug Crow back. While he embraced the snarky golden robot, Tom floated to Jonah.

“I would hug you Jonah but I have no working arms.” Tom said he was just about to hover away when Jonah brought the robot into the embrace.

They do care.

(I don’t know how many people watched season 13 but basically in Gamera vs Jigar, one of the host segments has the revelation that jonah is actually an animatronic so um yeah, that’s put in here too. That’s why it’s marked for season 13 spoilers)

[emilysidhe]

Looks like Mystery Science Theater is showing a livestream on YouTube of their previously paywalled Season 13 episodes.

This might be my favorite overall season of the show, so I recommend joining in if you haven’t seen it yet!

HOOOOOOLY CRAP! 33 NOTES ON MY SINGULAR POST ABOUT MY MST3K ART?

OKAY, GUYS, FEAST ON THIS!

A WHOLE COLLECTION!

[monkeypretzel]

In MST3K canon, Mike Nelson promised Tom Servo and Crow that he wouldn’t leave the Satellite of Love without them. and he didn’t. After it crashed, they lived together in a half-bath garden apartment on the bus line and watched bad movies because they wanted to, on Earth.

In canon, Joel Robinson of a thousand years in the future casually mentioned that his Tom Servo and Crow (because I guess it doesn’t matter how many of them there are, they’re interchangeable now according to the Word of God) are floating around in space with nowhere to go, since Dr. Erhardt pulled the Satellite of Love (that I guess never crashed) back through time while Tom and Crow were out on a space walk, because Dr. Kabahl told Kinga and Max they needed a third Test Subject.

This leads me to two conclusions:

One: Do not ever let me see anyone who thinks that the Season 13 storyline is funny and great and fantastic also bitch about how bad the Season 8 storyline was, because you know something? Season 8 is Shakespeare in plot and pace compared to Season 13′s monkeys with typewriters spewing shit like I summarized above; and 

Two: Hands down Mike Nelson is more of a father, and a goddamn better one, than Joel Robinson ever was to those bots. This is not up for debate.
