Remember that flashback at the start of this chapter? Notice anything interesting about the posters on the wall? FORESHADOWING!!
The title of this chapter, DESTROY ALL BADNIX, was also a bit of an oblique nod towards where this was going.
Godzilla is kind of the ultimate power fantasy for kids. When you’re 6 years old you don’t watch a kaiju movie to identify with the fleeing civilians, you do it to imagine being the giant monsters throwing their awesome power around, smashing building and breathing lasers.
How much more would those movies mean if you were a monster – a very small monster – with no power to speak of?
(Come to think of it, why do characters in the Badnixverse have access to the same movies we do? Why would all these enemies who are terrified of humans consume so much human-centric pop culture? All excellent questions… which I plan to never answer. HA!)
