you know, I was going to be fair and say that nostalgia plays a big part in my enjoyment of Monsters vs. Aliens because I grew up watching it and it was one of my favourite childhood movies
but then every time I rewatch it I find myself thinking that, this is a genuinely good movie?? The character writing is tight and Susan's character arc is a blast to watch, the action sequences are fun, the score is great?? Like, okay, I can see why people would have issues with some of the jokes, and sometimes the pacing can feel a little rushed, but overall??
Or I don't know. Maybe I'm just biased because the climax of this movie makes me go stark raving mad.
Susan is so baby girl coded and we love her for it but sometimes I can't help but imagine Susan going FULL monster mode. Like this isn't Susan right now this is Ginormica the rampaging 49 foot tall monster. One who can barrel through buildings three times her own size and bring them down with zero effort.
hell yeah! never forget she busted down an energised holding cell, layers upon layers of metal, nearly broke the super enforced glass to kill a condescending man that murdered her friend, and carried tons of machines without breaking a nail or getting a single scratch
she is a force to be reckoned with and has the kindest and sweetest heart 💖
Was just watching Monsters vs. Aliens aaaaand...I noticed a little something during Susan's Area 5X orientation scene when she sees the other monsters in their cells. In Doc's cell, there's formulas/graphs/mathematics/yada yada yada all over the walls compared to the other cells.
SORRY THAT I'M SPAMMING STUPID SKETCHES WITH ALIENS' FAMELE I had to show their relationship
Fun fact #2: Gax's mother worked in the government in some cool high position and didn't really saw her son - his father was a householder and inflated the family hearth out of nothingᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ
The sillies from the 2009 Dreamworks film, Monsters VS Aliens <3 I love this film, I got back into it and recently decided to sit down and finally watch the whole series as well.
The first and last doodle are my designs/interpretations of the characters (most are pretty much like the canon, but I decided to redesign a few of them just for my own twist haha).
Ginormica/Susan Murphy now has a hand-tail and pointier blue ears ~ the reason is, her powers stem from an alien source, so I felt like she should look a tad more alien now... also, the tail-hand is inspired by Gallaxhar, cause I headcanon the rock is from his own planet.
B.O.B, Link and Dr. C (and Monger too haha) are pretty much the same xD Lil sillies hehe
also added the aliens [Sqweep, Coverton, Sta'abi and the Vornicarn] from the series, whom I just slightly touched up their designs (like the monsters) in my own style haha.
Also yes, Susan is the 2nd shortest when in her normal height haha xD I think that be funny since she then becomes the (almost) tallest of them all.
Also, Insectosaurus :) I combined both his grub and butterfly form, cause I feel like he'd be cuter if he stayed the same and just then gained the wings and fluffier antennas/fur.
The 2nd doodle is based off the dog episode from the series... just, wish they turned into actual dogs and not were dog brained xD would have also been an interesting scenario... esp. when one canine is larger than the others.
