** Amazing Girl was [[XanatosGambit prepared for her own failure]] and this failure automatically activates the backup plan.
** It only looked like the wrong plan; Amazing Girl in fact hit [[ExactlyWhatIAimedAt Exactly What She Aimed At]].
** She is, however, better at improvising things on the fly than good old Indy because she took time to develop a very varied skill set.

**4.) With a little GambitSpeedChess, she makes the "wrong" plan work for the situation.
**5.) When the IndyPloy is revealed, Amazing Girl insists that she ''really did have a plan'', it just had a mere 5 steps instead of the usual 20. She improvised the other 15 steps.

** The aliens kill Amazing Girl. Her friends find out the hard way that she really didn't had a plan in place for that eventuality.
* '''Discussed''': "I've been traveling with Amazing Girl for years, and so far I haven't encountered a single situation which she doesn't have a plan for. It's actually kind of creepy, really".

** Since there is absolutely no way that Amazing Girl could conceivably plan for every single eventuality, Amazing Girl's plans look good on paper but are inevitably flawed when they come into contact with real situations.
** Because Amazing Girl's plans are that good, [[CassandraDidIt people begin to suspect that she's in on it,]] since ''no one'' could be that well prepared.
** Amazing Girl's mind is slowly shattering under the strain of trying to prepare for ''every'' eventuality, no matter how unlikely.
** Amazing Girl prepared for everything... except the sheer WEIGHT of all those wonderful toys. As a result, she has to abandon her preparations and end up going into [[IndyPloy battle barehanded and unprepared.]]
** Amazing Girl's greatest weakness is DidntSeeThatComing. While the reaction of most people having a SpannerInTheWorks appearing would be them going "OhCrap" while they try to figure things out, she instead freezes to the point she has risked getting herself (and other people) killed.
** Amazing Girl's plan, for reasons beyond her control or comprehension, becomes a CorruptedContingency. Now she is going to have to look at the survivors in the eye and admit that whatever horrors they endured were ''her'' idea.

** Although Amazing Girl's plans can't cover everything, they are at least good enough to work from, and Amazing Girl is adept at [[XanatosSpeedChess adjusting them to compensate for situational and contextual differences]].
** Amazing Girl is prepared for people suspecting that she's in on it, and she has a {{plan}} how to prove her innocence.
** Amazing Girl's mind has already shattered, and [[PowerBornOfMadness this is precisely why she is so obsessively prepared]].
** Amazing Girl is not only prepared for anything, but the items she has used to prepare herself are all multifunctional and relatively light, allowing her to carry them about fairly easily.
** None of Amazing Girl's plans ever come in handy, but the practice of constantly making plans for new scenarios makes her an expert at the IndyPloy.
** As horrible as things got because Amazing Girl's contingency plan backfired/misfired/was hijacked, they could have been [[GodzillaThreshold a hell of a lot worse]].

IndyPloy. She doesn't freeze because her plan for "If I freeze because of something unexpected" is to train herself to think "move to the next plan", and this enables her to continue functioning, even if the next plan is "make something up as I go".

** Amazing Girl's preparedness makes her the DeusExMachina to the tale of [[HeroOfAnotherStory Jim]], the guy who has busted himself to the bone trying to survive the alien invasion. For further comedy points, her role as the Deus Ex Machina happens at the exact time and place that makes Jim's [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome efforts]] a [[AllForNothing complete]] waste [[ShaggyDogStory of time]].
