** As the movie itself mostly glosses over Susan's time trapped in the monster base, plenty of fanfics - most notably ''Fanfic/GodHelpTheOutcasts'' - have expanded on it in some way.
** The movie's concept of monsters being imprisoned in a military base lends itself very well to stories about new, OC monsters suddenly being imprisoned and interacting with the main cast.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The film claims to be a B-Movie parody, [[ShallowParody but doesn't take the idea very far]]. If one replaced the smaller monsters with super-powered humans, the film would mostly be the same.

** The film mostly glosses over Susan's time in captivity, skipping ahead roughly three weeks after the first day to when the monsters are released to fight the giant robot. This means that we don't get to see Susan actually bond with any of the monsters in any meaningful capacity until much later on - meaning her "amazing!" speech at the gas station comes out of nowhere - even though seeing her gradually adjust to her captivity and interacting with the rest of the monsters would have added to their TrueCompanions dynamic and made for an interesting subplot in its own right.

** This movie features a blue-skinned alien with a giant forehead as the main villain. A mere year later, another Creator/DreamWorksAnimation movie, ''WesternAnimation/Megamind'', would also feature a blue-skinned alien with a giant forehead as the main villain... only this time, he's the main character and eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn.

* FanPreferredCouple: While Susan ultimately ends up [[NoRomanticResolution with nobody]], and the story makes it abundantly clear that she and Derek are [[FalseSoulmate not compatible]], some fans like to imagine Susan getting together with Dr. Cockroach, both because he was the [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan most helpful person to her]], and he was the [[FirstGirlWins first monster she met]].
