Added DiffLines:

* 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.

* 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.
** [[MathematiciansAnswer The same way they solved those problems for Insectosaurus.]] And if you ask how they solved ''her'' problems, money and an insane amount 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.)
** 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?

** Feeding and maintaining a 50-foot woman seems pretty trivial given government resources, far easier than, say, running a zoo. What I always wondered was how they managed to dress her while she was unconscious. Mad Science? Lots of cranes?
*** Yeah, even at her size she probably doesn't need as much food as you might think. At 50ft tall she can probably consume, what, maybe 3 cows per day? The average steer will yield about 350 pounds of meat, so for Susan that's roughly 1050 pounds of food daily. To put that in perspective, the Toronto Zoo requires about [[http://torontozoo.com/EducationAndCamps/FeedingAnimals.pdf 1 to 1.5 metric tons of food per day]] to feed their animals. Since they only have one giantess to deal with, keeping her fed wouldn't be too much of a problem.

* I can't possibly be the first person to notice that Insectosaurus looks more like a giant HAMSTER from the advertisements than an insect. What gives?
** Maybe if he looked too much like an insect, it'd be easy to figure out that he's [[spoiler: Mothra?]]
** You're definitely not alone in thinking that, and this is from the person who added the WingPull entry. I figured suddenly growing wings to be just as unlikely for that very reason, having missed out on it being called Insectosaurus.
*** This troper assumed that the reason it looks like a hamster is because certain insects are covering with hairs thus the giant insect may look very furry.
*** It looks like a hamster because a 350 tall bug that ''looked'' like an actual insect would have been [[NightmareFuel horrifying]].
*** Why it does "normal" eyes, rather than insect eyes? And also, how did the army knew what it was before it was transformed?
*** Huge, wobbly mammal/reptile/amphibian eyes, buck ''teeth'', a mammal- or (at most) reptile-like nose, a mandible that moves vertically to open? That's not just a red herring, it's a whole freaking herring hatchery that they pulled a [[spoiler: Mothra]]-fish out of.

*** (original poster) ... Holy ####, you CAN? Color me jealous!
** Maybe ''you'' can't. Dr. Cockroach is simply that awesome.

* We have a 300-foot insect monster and a 300-foot alien robot. The laws of film state, nay, ''demand'' that when two such entities are within several miles of each other, they must roar and punch and slash and wrestle and generally cause chaos and madness. In the movie, Insectosaurus and the Probe just stare at each other with the Golden Gate Bridge between them, Insectosaurus sneezes into the Probe's eye, and then the Probe hypnotizes Insectosaurus. He. Did. NOTHING. To help in that fight. I know it was to let Susan accomplish something and feel better about herself and all, but she could have done that just as easily after the Probe defeated Insectosaurus in battle; heck, she'd feel even more empowered to have beaten something that beat their BigGuy. They could have at least locked limbs together and push-fought each other while Susan and the others did their thing.
** But Insectosaurus has the mind of a bug, and while he seems to be the [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] at first, he is mesmerised by the lighting eye of the robot (that's how all of the other characters move him around too). As for the robot, he isn't interested in Insectosaurus at all, he's only programmed to get Ginormica/Susan because she absorbed the Quantonium.
*** Insectosaurus must have ''some'' intelligence, considering it helped the Missing Link cheat at Go Fish against B.O.B. It's at least smart enough to count to three and/or recognize the numbers on cards. Being mesmerized by light is simply the big bug's WeaksauceWeakness, not a sign of mindlessness.

* I doubt Susan's life as a giant will be as fulfilling as she expects it to be. Yes, you saved the world from an alien invasion, and while I'm sure that was a lot of fun, how often does that happen? Earthly monster attacks don't seem to be all that frequent either. So the vast majority of her time will be spent in the government facility, doing absolutely nothing, unable to interact without human society without destroying it. A "Five years later" epilogue would have made the ending pretty depressing.
** After Susan and the other monsters take down Gallaxhar, they are free from the confinement facility; they can do whatever they choose. In the Halloween special, they seem to share some sort of base and fight off crime whenever there's trouble.
** Alternatively, [[ILoveNuclearPower 1950's Hollywood Radiation]] from the nukes causes a massive outbreak of monsters (less sane than they) that they have to keep in check.
*** That too, I'd imagine they could easily make that BrickJoke into a retroactive SequelHook.
** And outside of the freedom they now have, her size doesn't really stop her from all that much. She could still do scientific research (might be easier to in some fields). She could still do physical activities. She can still travel the world. The logistics might be a little more challenging, but certainly nothing completely insurmountable. About the only activities she couldn't do without trouble would be anything that requires actual physical contact with another human being and that's a very small realm. Even something like teaching or going to school could be done via Skype or some such.

** To be fair, apparently most of the monsters have, upon their initial emergence, gone on a rampage. Insectosaurus ate part of Tokyo, B.O.B. ate a bunch of stuff, the Missing Link started kidnapping hot babes on his favourite beach (and fought off a few branches of the military) and Susan (accidentally) nearly crushed her fiance and a number of others to death. Dr. Cockroach is perhaps exempt, but then again, he ''is'' a self-described ''mad'' scientist, and is shown at one point attempting to construct a nuclear missile out of building blocks. They're probably too dangerous to let out without training or heavy supervision, except in situations where they are ''supposed'' to break things.
** And the Missing Link is emphatically unrepentant about what he did; he's not only ''proud'' but he can't wait to do it again.
** 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 [[Film/MenInBlack 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.]]

* One thing that's bugged me is how people keep insisting that Insectosaurus is female just because of how he looks (IE: [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics 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.
** Insectosaurus is a cartoony insect rather than a realistic one. And in cartoon animals, TertiarySexualCharacteristics normally indicate their sex.
** I vaguely recall Link or BOB referring to it with female pronouns at some point in the sequel.
* Besides the fact that it makes for a nice TitleDrop, why does Gallaxhar call his army of clones "aliens"? They're not aliens to ''him'', they're the same race as he is.
