Spied Spies
Two children are coming home from a birthday party. The white trench-coated figures first don't notice the kids peeking around the corner at them. Then they stop and look around before glancing in their ill-gotten bag of plans. One kid nearly sneezes. They look around (but not behind them where the sneeze was coming from). They leave.

Please Remember To Spay or Neuter Your CatBrainBatEye Creatures from Space
The cat-brain-eye-creature with his package hanging out breathes radioactive vapor. There is a fight with Starman. "One slash of the mutant's cobalt nails could destroy him! [Starman]" Yet the elderly doctor got a slash on his hand and he's fine.

"WHAT?!"
Umm...Not So Much
"Sometimes invisible, and then taking on weird shapes, the Zumerian mutants begin to kill Earthlings indiscriminately!" And then there's a minute-and-a-half of happy children playing at an amusement park.

No killing. Uh, those screams are not agony... Oh, okay. An invisible space witch kills one mother, then later, a ballerina. Forgive me if I have a hard time understanding the strategic importance of this...

Why not world leaders? Why not mass-murder?
