MvA: The 'M' Files II - pt. 2

Sorry, this is so belated. 😬

Hot dang. BOB's gone not just smart but sophisticated.

"Where are my frogs?" Lol

Right now, all I can remember is how jealous Doc got jealous of Sqweep and her smarts in the TV series.

I said it before but, where in the world did the monsters get all these gadgets, gizmos, whozits, and whatzits? The rec area in the movie and BOB's Big Break were slim pickens!

Insecto didn't pee herself. That was a saving grace

Link must've recycled Bun-bun from the series.

Man, Link's a great doodler, even if he forgot Dr C's stache.

This is an interesting alternative universe so instead of Susan meeting the monsters when she’s an adult she meets them as a kid and they decide to be her family (plus the invisible man is there)

I love this story bit so so so much

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.

I've been working on a collab for the anniversary and these are my parts!! thank you @fangirl-creates for the logo <3

snowball fight ❄️

[quitealotofsodapop]

Had a weird drean where two of my hyperfixations (Monsters vs Aliens + Journey to West) crossover. The drean gave no explanation how it happened.

Details I remember:

Dr Cockroach was intrigued by the fact Tripitaka was a "Man-cada". They then had a heated philosophy debate.

Bob and Wukong had a "shapeshifter-off". Goofy boys.

Zhu Bajie and Link got along like a house on fire (Insecto too). They be talking chicks, sports, and booze.

Multiple characters nearly got smushed by Susan for being sexist.

Susan got self-concious about her unstable size-changing powers, so Wukong made himself super-tall to be supportive. She found it very sweet.

Link developed a "totally not-homo"-crush on Sha Wujing. The fact that the red-haired fishman is ripped, canonically over 10ft tall, and can tear monsters apart like pulled pork totally doesn't have anything to do with it! (Lie)

Ao Lie and Insecto hung out. Happy horse-dragon and butterfly-rodent bonding.

MvA h/cs

Cooked up some movie & TV h/cs...cuz I can

Overall

before the timeline of the movie, the monsters had a TV on occasions. This was a rare treat which lasted until the TV set broke on its own and couldn't be repaired or got destroyed

the monsters' rec area was like the hand-me-downs central; anything the staff didn't want or need anymore went to the monsters, from those playing cards to radios to whatever. It usually came from the trash heap for Dr C's meals

the 2000s brought a little variety as a lot of people at the base made the transition to DVDs and threw out their VCR sets and cassette tapes

after the post-freedom upgrade, the base set up on-demand entertainment for the monsters

for every streaming site, every monster has their own accounts. Except for Link & Butterflysaurus (or B) who share accounts

they can all agree on sit-coms and comedies, believe it or not, some film noir or some off-the-wall random movie

depending on the sport, they all like watching a good game

Susan

down for most anything anyone wants to watch

likes period and mid-century romance/dramas like Downton Abbey, Bridgerton, Call The Midwife, Mad Men, and anything based off Jane Austen's books

was a Twilight fan back in her teens and now cringes at those memories of being on Team Edward

chic flicks: Legally Blonde, Pretty Woman, The Notebook, Mamma Mia!, Audrey Hepburn movies. Titanic and Moulin Rouge! are both fully capable of making her cry almost every time. This is a very good reason why she has her own streaming accounts

can make it through most horror movies but doesn't really enjoy them

roots for all sports teams from Cali

the only monster most willing to watch whatever BOB wants to watch

liked watching cooking shows and DIY tutorials when she was small. She'll still watch them sometimes inspite of the fact she can't easily cook or pull off most DIYs

BOB

the kids' page on streaming sites & YouTube Kids all the way!

has the kid's tendency to watch the same thing over and over again and never get sick of it

the other monsters can't watch adult films and shows with him. He'll ask questions like, what's going on during a bedroom scene or "What's a [enter any profanity of your choice here]?". He's also a parrot who will mindlessly repeat a single swear word he only heard once

sometimes you'll find him watching random stuff like a Malaysian talk show or a Julia Child cooking tutorial or some abstract silent film

you know those kids' shows that interact with the audience, like Mr. Rogers, Blues Clues, & Dora the Explorer? Yeah, he REALLY gets into them

had a kids tablet for about two weeks but then accidentally ate it. Monger hasn't had the heart to give him another one

Dr C

his pastimes include lab experiments, reading books and science papers, playing chess (via a computer versus the CPU/another player online because no one at the base wants to play), and other mentally/intellectually stimulating activities, so he'll watch something if he wants and/or needs a mental break

the other monsters tried getting him into Big Bang Theory. To everyone's surprise, he didn't care for it

has BritBox

when he's chilling, he'll watch vintage/vintage-style musical movies, particularly with good dance numbers like Singin' In The Rain. One of his heroes in dance is Gene Kelly; Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers would've been on his list, but he hasn't had a skilled dance partner offhand since his college days

likes videos like Ted Talks and Infographics Show (YouTube). He may be the most brilliant man in the world but he knows there's always more to learn

his YouTube subscriptions include dance groups and science lecturers from around the world

doesn't care much for most sports but he'll gladly watch polo and a lot of the Olympics. Tried to pass the time by reading a book during a football game once, and Link said, "Doc, if you don't put that book down, I'll throw you and that thing in the trash!". Never again

Link

as mentioned in an earlier H/C post of mine, he's a closeted shonen anime fan and he'll watch anything but One Piece

football is his favorite sport to watch. He watches it when he can

NEVER misses Super Bowl Sunday. Or at least to the best of his ability. He was very disappointed when one of his missions happened on Super Bowl Sunday

also likes WWE

martial arts: always and forever, baby!

has watched both Luca and The Shape of Water. He doesn't mind them but he got pretty annoyed when people made comparisons between him and the Amphibian Man or the sea monsters. BOB was like, "Hey, Link! Why don't YOU turn into a human when you leave your tank?"

was into superhero movies and TV series in the 2010s but jumped off the bandwagon when he thought they were being overdone. Though he still likes Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, and anything with Wolverine

thinks Star Wars, Harry Potter, and most other popular sci-fi/fantasy franchises are just for kids and nerds

doesn't care much for romances or most cartoons either

if something scares him or makes him cry, he'll try to hide it

it took him a while to be able to watch anything with Shrek after being mistaken for Shrek in the Halloween special

[a/n: I can also see him being a gamer]

Insecto/B

likes sports no thanks to Link

will watch most anything Link watches

likes some anime, particularly Sailor Moon for whatever reason

likes cartoon shows meant for older kids

doesn't like horror movies, has a hard time settling down or going to sleep after watching one

avoids animal/nature programs as some of them can be quite traumatizing

every now and then she'll be caught watching something with BOB like Bluey

Monger

watches the news every day

knows better than to believe everything he sees

watches a little M*A*S*H before bedtime at least twice a week

every now and then watches stuff like All in the Family just cuz he likes the comedic but logical political tension among the main characters

still has analog cable (antenna and all) at the farm

hates I Love Lucy because his wife had it on TV more than anything else

likes war films and a number of films about World War II. There's a few he won't watch tho because he thinks they're either badly made, too sentimental, or too depressing

likes comedies from the 1950s-60s

The President

likes watching himself on TV and videos online

likes talking smack to opposing politicians when watching videos of them, like, "In your dreams, bucko! Not while I'm large and in charge!"

comedies, comedies, comedies...and game shows

Simpsons fanboy

has an appreciation for daytime TV: long-running soap operas, talk shows hosted by middle-aged women, Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, etc.

considers the family sitting in front of the TV together as quality family time and sit-coms as an American staple

can't watch foreign language films with English subtitles. He eventually gets bored and falls asleep

as mentioned in an earlier H/C post, he doesn't trust biopics one bit. After finding out over half of The Greatest Showman was fictional, he lost faith in any portrayals of history both on screen and stage

Derek

liked watching famous news reporters and weather-folk as role models when he was a kid and as inspiration when he became a weatherman

took Susan and other girls he dated to the movies

if not at the movies, he and Susan would curl up on a sofa and watch something together, going back and forth between what he likes and what she likes

likes most sports, except basketball

Ted Talks, late night talk shows, and popular sit-coms

watches whatever catches his attention on Hulu and Max

had a very hard time watching anything with the monsters. Still does but it's not as hard anymore

Invisible Man

went to a few drive-in theaters with his wife on dates before and after they got married

Andy Griffith and Red Skelton were some of his favorite shows

yet he enjoyed some of the heavier and less lighthearted films, like Streetcar Named Desire. If he cried, he tried to not let anyone know

not much of a cinema-goer but he enjoyed taking his two older kids

liked what little he saw of The Carol Burnett Show while in prison

if he saw Mel Brooks' films, he would've loved them

von Wolfmann (my OC, a German wolfman and past monster, at Area 5X 1960-65)

having lived much of his 70+-year life away from society, he probably had no idea what TV & cinema were, let alone knew they existed

The Cyberian (my OC, a Soviet Russian cyborg and past monster, at Area 5X 1981-85)

TV became a bit of a staple in the Soviet Russian home over time, so there was a handful of shows that she liked throughout her life

she liked going to the movies with her dad/grandparents as a kid and teenager, a special treat

didn't like anything based off books. "Just read the book." She said. "No pictures but they're a lot more interesting than THIS sad piece of work"

thought period pieces were boring. More than once she fell asleep watching them

grew up with black-and-white TV, so she was excited the first time she saw color TV

learned some of her English from what little TV the monsters had and learned a bit about the USA and the world outside the USSR

probably would've been the only monster to have been a big fan of Star Wars and/or Star Trek

[bunnyfrail]

I don’t feel very motivated to draw, but I’ve done this so far

[dr-jem-nutcase]

Soooo lovely. I love these three goobers

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I had just gotten out of the shower and was only wearing a towel and the doorbell rang so I went to open the door and I fell through the carpet into the sewer and Missing Link from Monsters vs Aliens came and kissed me while I was still in my towel.

[mixter-jenn-mitsey]

Had fun with these

Happy 15th Anniversary to Monsters Vs Aliens!!

inspired by a couple of friends, we impulsively collaborated on a monsters (& alien/s) quinceañera (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠♡⁠✧⁠*⁠。

it's a bit late but I'm glad most of the family got to get together
