Monsters vs. Aliens/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* The fact that Susan is 49-and-a-half feet tall and lives in an extremely enclosed space with the other monsters opens up all sorts of uncomfortable possibilities. Does she ever roll over in her sleep and crush the Missing Link? (I assume both BOB and Dr. Cockroach are immute to extreme pressure). How is the government able to provide enough food for her? Going back to the "enclosed space" thing, how ''in the world'' are the other monsters able to put up with her farts? Really! How is her, ahem, "business" disposed of? Shall we move on to 49-and-a-half-foot periods, or shall we start overthinking about Insectosaurus?

** Rule #1 of giantess stories: those questions should never be asked, unless the author can use them for his story.

** [[~~Mathematicians~~ Answer|The same way they solved those problems for Insectosaurus.]] And if you ask how they solved ''her'' problems, money and an insane ammount of high end engineering. Where did they get the money? They opened a highly lucrative fertilizer/methane combustion power plant business that funds a good chunk of their expenses. ("When it rains lemons, make lemonade" and all that.)

** Um. Each monster has its own living quarters. Susan has her own room, as big for her as a dorm room would be for you and I. Each of the other monsters has a proportionally sized room, and even the big room they have communally isn't "extremely enclosed", as it's, well, ''really big''. Didn't you pay attention to her whole introduction to the facility?

** They at least lampshade Insectosaurus' waste when Susan upsets him. Link immediately tries to calm him down lest the inevitable flood occurs.

Line 57:

** Part of it is the monster's utter dependence on one another ''not'' to cause rampant chaos. Insectosaurus is essentially a massive puppy with about the same impulse control, BOB literally ''lacks a brain'', and nearly kills a few people on several different occasions due to it. And Dr. Cockroach...well, he was insane before, and he can only be ''more'' insane now.

** Monger's explanation was pretty much the reason [[Men in Black (Film)|Agent K]] gives as to why the presence of aliens is covered up in his movie - the public just doesn't want to know and aren't ready to. Also, {{spoiler|while Monger was shown to be pretty cool towards the monsters, there's the good chance that it wasn't his decision to keep them locked up.}}

* For those who saw the short "Night of the Living Carrots", a direct sequel to the mutant pumpkin special (and only available currently on the 3DS video service)...[[What Happened to The Mouse|where the hell was Susan during the zombie-carrot invasion?]]

* One thing that's bugged me is how people keep insisting that Insectosaurus is female just because of how he looks (IE: [[Teritary Sexual Characteristics|big eyelashes, lips, busty body when he's a butterfly]]). Insects in general don't follow the conventional means of male/female differences the way humans do. Likewise, it's possible for someone/something to look female but still be male (Which is why the term [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]] exists) since gender and sex are ''not'' the same thing (Hence why some people view themselves as of the female/male gender, but are of the male/female biological sex). Not to mention that gender/sex means ''nothing'' to insects since many species are able to change their sex when necessary.

** Insectosaurus is a cartoony insect rather than a realistic one. And in cartoon animals, [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]] normally indicate their sex.
