-Call me crazy, but I can't be the only one who thought the trolls kind of looked like TV's ALF.
-The Snake Baron = Serpentor from G.I. Joe.
-Guts's inner beast is pretty reminiscent of Spidey's most popular nemesis, Venom.
"We wanna eat your brains!"
-Schnoz the nose creature looks like he came right out of a Monty Python cartoon.
-The grisly birth of the horrendous baby trolls in Qliphoth is not unlike the chestburster scene in Aliens. I was expecting the little suckers to start tapdancing ala Spaceballs, next.
"Hello my baby! Hello my honey! Hello my ragtime gal~!"
