I just didn't understand why this was the only time MGP was not getting hit with bombs. There are planes zooming by and they're ignoring him/her.

Maybe there were busy leveling the rest of the city due to the parasites?

I have to admit that Matt Reeves did an effective job at really driving the point home that people die, no matter how much you like them.

I think there's a consensus that Marlena and Hud were the two most likable characters in the whole movie, yet they met the worst fates.

Does anyone else find it strange that he wasnt EATEN? Why would MGP not eat him? why chew on him an spit him out? It doesnt make sense.

Also his face seemed largley un-harmed which you wouldnt think it would be after being in a mouth full of 2 foot long razors. (exagerating MGP mouth details. Or am I...)

I too had noticed the rather nasty sounds as Hud is being munched on. I get the distinct impression that Hud was bitten in half, his upper body lying outside the gum line. The sound was very gruesome, and seemed horrifically painful. I think this event was done and in this way to seal our desire to see MGP die. The whole 'it's a baby' theory allowed for sympathy for the monster, but when Hud gets it that pretty much goes away.

Some Thing

From my point of view...the Hud scene is equivalent to the alien chestburster scene from the first ALIEN movie.

It stayed (and continues to stay) with me. Confused

I too, assumed that Hud was in pieces. All we see is his head and maybe upper torso. But i was under the impression that it had been established early on that MGP in fact, ate people. Didn't Marlena say that early on? something to the effect of: "It was eating people. It ate people." After of course, she first eye-witnessed it. Unless I misunderstood.
