Monsters vs. Aliens/YMMV

"Susan: Are the cameras running, sweetie?
 * Badass Decay: The Missing Link apparently once held his own against the navy, the national guard and some baywatchers.
 * According to his website profile, he was a real badass.
 * Not to mention he's been cooped up in Area 52 for several decades. Note the beer belly.
 * Cargo Ship: B.O.B./Green Jello. A match made in mixers.
 * Complete Monster: Gallaxhar. He destroyed his own planet to gain the quantonium, sent down a rampaging robot to collect it into a populated city, and was willing to kill the inhabitants of Earth just For the Evulz. It counts.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Oh, there's a LIST for this one.
 * B.O.B. for the kids and the merchandise. Not really surprising he's the kid appeal character; he's the silliest looking monster, and the funniest character.
 * Dr. Cockroach hit it off with fangirls.
 * Well he is voiced by Hugh Laurie...
 * And there's the president, where every moment involving him is one of the most hilarious things you'll ever see.
 * Well his voice actor was Steven Colbert
 * Fetish Fuel: Where to start?! The movie should have been titled Viewers Vs Fetishes. Only a few minutes in, and our attractive female protagonist grows to 50 feet tall against her will, wedding dress tearing, straps popping, moaning the whole while and begging for it to stop. Then, over the course of the movie, she is strapped down with steel cables against her will and drugged, assaulted by a giant robot and an alien with tentacles, electrocuted and caged repeatedly. Twice she wakes up in different clothing (skintight leather at one point) and she nearly kisses her fiance's head off. Not to forget the camera angled at Susan from below, capturing her gigantic bottom in glorious 3D... Is this really for kids?
 * From the sound of it, Gallaxhar outfitted his computer with the voice of a sexbot. Just imagine the countdown in a different setting...
 * Ship to Ship Combat: The fandom is a bit split when it comes to who Susan gets paired with. Given the lack of Token Romance within the film, many tend to gravitate towards Dr. Cockroach/Susan since he takes an active role in trying to reduce her size and they seem to converse the most (also, they're the only two monsters who used to be human). But Link/Susan has its share of fans as well, considering that Link's whole deal is that he chases beautiful babes anyways. God help you if you're on the fence...
 * The whole ship-to-ship combat situation for this fandom is not that bad. There are at least fans who can tolerate both points of view on the matter no matter which side they're on (if they're even on one in the first place). There are plenty of fandoms that are much worse.
 * Tear Jerker: C'mon, Susan reached Buffy level Woobie-ness when she arrived at Area 52. Then there's Link with Insectosaurus
 * Also
 * Ugly Cute: Pretty much all of the other monsters aside from Susan herself.
 * Uncanny Valley: The stylized inhuman "Monsters" are a bit easier to watch than the actual humans.
 * To paraphrase the movie description at the top of the page, aside from the monsters, all the humans basically look like live action versions of the humans you'd see in mags like Cracked or Mad. Kinda off-putting at first, but you get used to it.
 * Viewer Gender Confusion: The movie calls the monster, but a behind-the-scenes book lists . This has lead to a Broken Base amongst the fans of the movie as to which is truly canon regarding the monster's gender.
 * Not necessarily. Remember, in the animal kingdom, Pretty does NOT always equal female.
 * Also in the animal kingdom sex is not always a fixed thing...
 * If Insectosaurus was only a larva, then it may not have even had a gender or anatomical indicators thereof. Calling it "he", as with B.O.B., could've been purely a convenience.
 * What an Idiot: Derek dumps Susan for the sake of his career without considering the worldwide fame their continued relationship would bring him, not to mention the millions of dollars in book deals and movie rights. Sure, he'd need a raincoat to have any hope of ever pleasing her, but it's still a very stupid decision from someone who's already been characterized as a selfish asshole. Letting that detail slip only reinforced his stupidity.

Derek: Why, of course they are!

Viewers (facepalm)"

""I don't want a poster. I want a real kitten, hanging from a real tree.""
 * According to the commentary, one possible (deleted) follow-up to Derek dumping Susan has said Hot Amazon going on a rampage through town to try and crush Derek. It would have been somewhat out of character for Susan to do this at this point of the movie, but that doesn't remove the fact that she could have done it, thus further reinforcing Derek's idiocy.
 * The Woobie: Susan. After Derek dumped her, she looked so much like a kicked puppy.


 * The monsters, after they scare off the party.
 * Link. The poor guy gets his butt kicked several times during the battle against the robot probe, and even gets knocked out after it's already been defeated. He was so obviously downbeat about his performance that one almost expected him to do a Face Heel Turn.
