In what way?

We all make millions?

We'll be used in many sequels, even when it's technically bizarre?

We run around in our undies while fighting beasts?

We're in hibernation most of the time until we're needed?

We talk to MOTHER?

Our biggest nemesis is The Company, who sends cyberspies to mess up
our mission?

Can you expand a bit on that?  I lost the metaphor.
