** If she had stood still or run in the opposite direction, she still would have been the closest person to the meteor. We don't know how the phlebotinum works; maybe it would have made the closest person grow whether she's under it or 50 yards away. Either way, though, ''[[CompletelyMissingThePoint that]]'' [[CompletelyMissingThePoint bugs you]]?

* Susan's hair turned from brown to white when she grew into a giantess, obviously as a side effect from absorbing the quantonium-filled meteor. Why didn't her turn back to brown when Gallaxhar drained the quantonium from her, turning her to normal size?

***** Or "[[DeadLikeMe Oh, shi-]]", and her legs (well, lower consciousness, the bit that sets up the fight-or-flight response, you know what I mean) did the running.

** In Kafka's {{Metamorphosis}}, after turning into a giant vermin, Gregor Samsa suddenly finds that he no longer likes his favorite human foods, and prefers old rotten stuff instead. Perhaps it's the same here.

* One thing that's bugged me is how people keep insisting that Insectosaurus is female just because of how he looks (IE: [[TeritarySexualCharacteristics 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 DudeLooksLikeALady 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.

** This is just a tiny subset of the question, "Why does he speak English?" See TranslatorMicrobes and TranslationConvention.

** [[MathematiciansAnswer 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?

** I vaguely recall Link or BOB referring to it with female pronouns at some point in the sequel.
