== [[Monsters vs. Aliens]] takes place in a universe where [[Stephen Colbert]] is president. ==
* The President resembles [[Stephen Colbert]].
Line 11:
 
== Mirage from [[The Incredibles]] is related to Susan. ==
Possibly her [[Separated Atat Birth|sister]], possibly [[Oblivious Adoption|her]] [[Parental Abandonment|mother]], depending on Mirage's powers (or lack thereof). White hair, [[Mundane Fantastic]] universe, and seriously, you'd probably have to be [[The Incredibles (Animation)/WMG|a super]] to ''survive'' the meteor, let alone turn into a giant from it.
* How about this: Mirage was hit by the same as Susan, and mutated the same eyes and hair. Notice, Susan looked just like a regular dark-haired, doe-eyed woman before the meteor.
** Mirage might had be a far family member that also happened to be walking around near the meteorite crash site with Susan, but it took longer to recover and no one notices her after all the wedding ''interruption''.
Line 22:
== B.O.B. has psychic powers ==
This would explain why he keeps confusing his own memories with those of his friends.
** [[I Knew It!|Confirmed]], somewhat by [[Spin -Off|Bob's Big Break]].
 
== The Earth in the movie is the Cylon Earth from [[Battlestar Galactica]]. It was destroyed when {{spoiler|the president hit the button that launched all the nukes.}} ==
Line 31:
 
== The General W.R. Monger is, despite his claims to the contrary, actually a cyborg. ==
Think about it, after the credits the man appears and says he's ninety years old. Pushing ninety doesn't look like you're forty-to-sixty. Plus, how does a 'Nam vet collect enough experience, strength, and resources to hog tie MONSTERS? As in the mad science, nuclear mutation variety? Maybe [[Hellboy (Comic Bookcomics)|monsters can only fight monsters]]? And why just keep them confined? Wouldn't it be cheaper to exterminate them? Or even go the Dr. Cockroach route, experiment on them? Keeping them all in the same location, letting the monsters interact, form bonds, become a band of brothers? Sounds like a revolt waiting to happen. Or maybe he was gathering an army, in case something like the world invasion happened? Or rise and over throw the Buffoon President?
* He has been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh. He has been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the world goes dim and cold. He is hero.
** Maybe he himself is a longevity empowered monster of some kind.
** He might be a ''[[WW 2]]'' veteran, for that matter - assuming that it takes place roughly in the present day, he would have been about twenty years old in 1940.
== The General W.R. Monger is actually [[Twenty Four24|Jack Bauer]] in disguise. ==
Of character!Colbert's world? (See above WG) I could go for that!
* He is General George S. Patton's most recent reincarnation.
Line 52:
 
== Gallaxhar's evil scheme is all because he's a giant prude. ==
His [[Noodle Incident]]-laden [[Start of Darkness]] apparently began when he found some dreadful fact about his parents, and apparently he was happily married at one point, up until his new wife wanted to do ''something''. Since this is only a PG movie, we can't go into the sordid details, but one can infer his plan to conquer the universe and populate it with clones of himself is because of [[Freud Was Right|a gigantic fear of sex]]. It also provides a handy [[Hand Wave]] for why [[Go -Go Enslavement|he put Susan in the "one-size-fits-all" unitard]]: he didn't want to see her naked after he sucked the Quantonium out of her and returned her to normal size.
* [[Fridge Logic]] says he would've had to have seen her naked if he changed her into that unitard while she was unconscious.
** Maybe he had a robot do it.
 
== Area 52 is the North American branch of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|SEELE]] ==
(Or whatever they're called, I've only seen [[Did Not Do the Research|two episodes]]) A massive underground base that holds both (super)natural and man-made monsters, including a giant [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]] and a [[Mad Scientist]], with the (eventual) mission to quell an alien threat. ''They're practically identical!''
* Or maybe it's an alternative version of the NGE base(s), considering the surprising lack of [[Plan|plansplan]]s or [[Man Behind the Man|Men Behind the Men]].
* OP: Hmmm...
 
== MVA is NGE in a world where [[Darker and Edgier]] and [[Bloodier and Gorier]] never developed, thus the (apparent) lack of [[The Plan|plans, confusing and otherwise]] and [[Body Horror|Body Horrors]]s. ==
Or maybe we over-ernest [[Eagle Land|EagleLanders]] just aren't as good at those as we think.
 
== Dr Cockroach is related to [[Black AdderBlackadder|Lieutenant George]] ==
They have the same actor. A possible means for this to happen is: George has a child, or perhaps children. One of them, despairing of the general naivety of his family, emigrates to the US and becomes an accomplished scientist-then transforms himself into Dr Cockroach.
* Oh God, someone please expand this to include EVERY CHARACTER LAURIE HAS PLAYED. It's just about canon that all Laurieettes (Both Georges, Ludwig, That-guy-from-Series-2) from Blackadder are related, and it's not too far a stretch to include a certain doctor, or Bertie Wooster...
Line 89:
== Susan Has Yet To Discover All Her Powers. ==
Quantonium is supposed to be the most powerful element in the Universe, Right? So it seems likely that it can do more than just make someone fifty feet tall. Susan has all sorts of awesome powers she deosn't even know about yet.
* [[Square -Cube Law|She can support her weight without crushing all her bones]], indicating some kind of mass or gravity power.
* Well, she did punch through a supposedly impentrable energy field with relative ease, and through alien metal like they were wet paper. Even without the [[Square -Cube Law]], that's pretty strong.
** I was actually rather impressed with the writers for how they handled this. Yes, they gave Susan nothing but size and standard non-flying brick package for powers, but they then ''let her use them''. There was literally no point at which she attempted to use brute strength for anything and it failed, except when she took ''a little too long'' to break the jar/cage her powers were drained in (and it was about to shatter if she'd had a few seconds longer). And once she gained her confidence (aka by the time she was abducted), she ''realized'' and ''accepted'' this fact and started throwing brute strength around as a solution even when standard movie/videogame logic tells her she should be helpless.
* Sort of personal cannon, but I consider high durability as one of her powers after that scene.
Line 109:
 
Furthermore, she's unknowingly already done it once already; when Dr. Cockroach was experimenting on her and thought that she'd grown a couple of inches taller it wasn't actually his machine that did it, it was her body unconsciously deciding that the fastest way to get away from the pain was to shoot up a little more so the electrodes would either be yanked off her face or their wires torn out of the machine by her head suddenly being further away than the cords could reach.
* Makes sense. Her first growth spurt takes long enough for her to get from the field to the church, cleaned up, and to reach the altar. Her subconcioussubconscious knew what she hadn't yet admitted (that her [[Disposable FianceFiancé|fiancé]] is a [[Jerkass|jerkass]]), so her body decided that she needed a way out of this wedding. Cue glowing and massive growth.
 
== B.O.B would've survived the Self-Destruction of Gallaxhar's ship. ==
Line 123:
 
== Everything happens in the same setting as District 9, give or take a few decades ==
Disregarding the [[Rule of Cool|idea of Ginormica meeting Christopher]], consider that no one seems to be as alarmed by Gallaxhar as they normally would be in a first contact scenario: this is because they already know about aliens! The ones that landed in Johannsburg a few decades ago. Then more of them showed up, took their people away, and left. (After branding Earth as an [[Crapsack World|intergalactic]] [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|hellhole]], of course.) So they were hoping to find actually human-ish looking benevolent aliens; also why they tried conventional weapons. They worked pretty well against the prawns, right?
* Although in MVA they do a bit of [[Lampshade Hanging]] on that aliens always land in America - and don't mention anything about them landing in South Africa before.
