* Why does B.O.B. mistake Susan for a boy because of her "boobies" (besides him being a non-human blob who's also an idiot)? Since he gestures to the very male Link's chest when he says "look at his boobies", there's a very good chance he thought Susan had man-boobs like Link.

* If aliens hadn't invaded when they did, what are the odds that Susan would have spent her entire life in captivity until she died like the poor Invisible Man did?

* How did the people at the facility manage to undress Susan and re-dress her while she was unconscious? Changing an unconscious person's clothes is difficult at best, and when the person in question is that big, it would be a truly, well, enormous challenge.
** One way to solve this challenge would be to cut her out of her wedding dress to undress her, then drape cloth around her and sew the hemlines, etc, onto her. Essentially make the clothing around her. At that size difference, this would be much easier than trying to move pre-sewn clothing around, let alone dress her. The real question is why would they go to that much trouble? It would be much easier to leave her in her wedding dress, leave the clothes in a pile next to her bed, and when she wakes up say "Please change into the clothes provided and place your soiled clothes into the receptacle." If they really needed to get her out of the dress right away (say they need to study it for the Phlebtonium it may have absorbed), it would be much easier to dress her in a hospital gown and made her change when she got up. That's kinda the point of hospital gowns.
* How long was Susan knocked out by the stuff in the oversized needle? Long enough to move her from Modesto, obviously, but how long after that? Long enough for them to make/obtain clothes for a 49-foot-11 1/2-inch tall woman? And construct a table and chair for her proportions? While having rooms the right size for her is believable (Insectosaurus's presence proving they deal with giant monsters occasionally), having the rest of the stuff on hand is stretching things beyond CrazyPrepared.
** Maybe it's like Area 51 in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', where the staff were even prepared for the ridiculously unlikely scenario of being attacked by a giant poodle and rescued by a giant naked mole rat; considering their experience of monsters, they probably had some kind of resources available to be prepared in the event of encountering a giant human.

** What's more, the superstition applies when the groom hasn't even met the bride in person. In a sense, Derek hadn't met the ''real'' Susan. And the real Susan (Ginormica) isn't the same woman as the bride who told him [[BlatantLies she thought Fresno was even more romantic than Paris]].

* In an early scene, General Monger tells Susan not to cry because "it makes [his] knees hurt". It might seem like a nonsequiter, but a lot of injuries or just plain old age can make someone's joints hurt when bad weather is about to roll in--the General was telling Susan not to cry because, at her size, it would be like causing a rainstorm.

* Some find it strange that Area 52 is ''massive'' despite holding less than ten inmates. Even with Insectosaurus it seems excessive - except we've seen the whole place is CrazyPrepared. The facility is ''ready'' for the unlikely event of holding hundreds of monsters, as seen by the multiple cell doors in the main area. And unlike most fictional super prisons, it really is inescapable. It ''is'' excessive, that's why it works.
** Insectosaurus may have been the first monster captured, suggesting the facility was built to accomodate it, hence why it's spacious enough for Ginormica to comfortably walk around.

* Derek saw Susan in her wedding dress before the ceremony. It may seem like stereotypical bad luck resulting from the dress. But according to the superstition, the groom isn't allowed to see the bride, ''or he'll get cold feet''. The brilliance comes when you take note that Derek ''indeed'' got ([[{{Jerkass}} inexcusably]]) cold feet later in the movie: the moment Susan became more famous than him, he's already made up his mind he can't marry a girl who casts a big shadow over his own fame. Guess it wasn't just superstition when Susan said it was bad luck to see her in her wedding dress.

And seeing as he already expressed disgust with her form and the clothes she was wearing before wouldn't fit her anymore, he probably wanted to spare his own sight and mind from the sight.

** We've seen him crushed under a giant robot's foot. We've never seen him survive extreme heat or high speed pressure waves. An explosion may still kill him. You could make the same argument that Dr. Cockroach would survive, because the entire point of becoming a cockroach was to have the survivability of cockroaches (which are commonly believed to be able to survive a nuclear war. They can't, but this movie's logic would say that they can, and thus Dr. Cockroach would also).
