There is no calm within the eye of this storm...

  • Imagine being in Susan's position at the start of the movie. You're just getting ready to marry the person of your dreams, when suddenly you see a meteor coming your way, and no matter how fast you are, you couldn't escape it as it falls onto you. Miraculously, the crash doesn't kill you, but it left you with a terrible curse which forces you to grow to a massive size. This curse manifests when you're about to say your wedding vows and then you grow so tall you break through the roof. Just as you're barely starting to comprehend what's happening, the government attacks you and forces you to the ground with large doses of tranquilizer which would normally kill a person at your former size. The last thing you hear is indistinct radio sounds as the soldiers approach you. It's no wonder she wakes up in Area 52 terrified out of her mind.
  • The Robot Probe, especially when their eyes turn red. This titanic beast holds out during an all out attack by the United States Military, searched for Susan's quantonium readings across the continent all the way until it finds her at San Francisco, finds and chases her throughout said city, corners her at the bridge and tries to mine the quantonium out of her by essentially eating her alive before the rest of Team Monster catches up, took being beheaded by the Golden Gate Bridge to slay it, and is only one of hundreds, potentially thousands of identical and equally powerful Robot Probes.
  • The reveal after Gallaxhar steals the Quantonium from Ginormica's body that he's actually 3 times the height of a normal human, which is one of the few moments he's depicted as genuinely threatening while he's holding the now-helpless Ginormica.
