1* Why is it that in the show, Ickis always looks red, but outside of the show, he's purple?
2** Because the show was made in the 90's when characters and backgrounds were painted by hand. Later merchandise is colored by computers which cannot reproduce all the shades that were possible by mixing paints.
3*** I'm not sure I buy that. I mean, I buy that digital coloring can't create as many subtle shades of color as hand-painting. But purple is a whole different color, not just a different shade of red.
4*** Ickis describes himself as being magenta in "Attack Of The Blobs". Just looking at different brands of art supplies, magenta can be depicted as anything from a pinkish red to a purple shade. Within the show itself, other characters have described him as red (Bradley in "Into The Woods"), or purple (Zimbo in "Side by Side") so it could also be a matter of HairColorDissonance.
5* Is it ever explained why the monsters must scare people? What do they get out of this?
6** It's mentioned several times that monsters are the incarnation of human fear of the unknown, and only exist as long as this fear exists; including basing one entire episode around monsters disappearing because people no longer fear them.
7*** So basically [[PunchClockVillain it's their job.]]
8* It's shown multiple times that Ickis is a surprisingly good dancer, until that moment you take account that dancing seems to be part of monsterkind's [[BizarreAlienReproduction reproduction process]]...
9* What would happen if the characters went through a crisis where humans were no longer afraid of them, even if they were aware they existed. The characters in the film ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' face a similar problem, although it didn’t affect the monsters’ physical existence, just their electricity. Would the monsters in the show be able to find a solution if humans were no longer fearing them like the characters did in the Pixar film, or would they just disappear?
10* Where did Krumm's eyes come from? They're not attached to his body so he has to carry them around. Was he born without eyes or did the eyes detach from his body?
11* How come nobody other than Krumm and Oblina were able to tell Ickis and Nicky apart? They look almost nothing alike.
