A size comparison of movie monsters
Which led me to wonder... PNQ: What is a uniform definition of "monster"? 1. Are all magical creatures "monsters"? 2. Are all aliens "monsters"? 3. Re: Joker and Voldemort: does a human have to have magical powers to be a "monster"? While I have no problem calling the Joker a monster in a figurative sense, he certainly isn't one in a literal sense (unless he's juiced up on Titan or Venom, of course). 4. Can Transformers really be called "monsters?" Personally I think at bare minimum a monster has to be organic and of this Earth. I also think that anything with continual access to magic should be pushed into the "demon" category rather than monsters (with vampires possibly getting a grandfather clause). Just being created by magic (like a lot of Power Rangers baddies) is okay for "monster."
