Stupid Fanboy Scenarios Debated With Deadly Seriousness

[Hobgoblin]

We had a fun little side conversation in the Funny Pics thread about Gremlins sinking with the Titanic. I made a wise guy comment about the little buggers soon multiplying exponentially as they fell into the waters of the north Atlantic. It would, as I said, have been the end of the world.

Others disagreed, and a debate broke out. Is birth painful for Gremlins, causing them to go into shock and drown? Would they freeze to death or would the sheer numbers outpace the death rate? Can Lois have Superman's baby? (Dont ask me how that question popped into the conversation, I dont remember.)

So here we are, film, comic book and sci fi geeks. Debate away.

I'll give you a topic: What does Godzilla eat? For such a huge animal, he doesnt have large prey to hunt. Does he somehow eat plankton, or other tiny marine life, like a whale?

[Hobgoblin]

Or another scenario: Could a Terminator be used as a battery by the Matrix?

[Shemtov]

who would win?:
Mary Poppins Vs. Freddy Krueger

[The Incredible Hulk]

Isn't Godzilla like one big nuclear reactor? In which case, he'd generate his own energy and wouldn't really need to eat.

As for the Terminator scenario, I guess if he generates heat he could be a battery. Wasn't that the premise of using the humans in the matrix? basically the heat their bodies generated was used to power the matrix. Although considering he's a machine anyway, wouldnt he be more useful to the Matrix in being used to hunt down humans?

Personally, I think Lois's vagina would never be the same if Supes impregnated her.

Batman needs no prep-time.

[Immortalfire]

What does Godzilla eat?


Anything he wants. :awesome:

When Superman takes a piss or has a sex wee, assuming of course his superstrength involves every muscle, does his pee/load shoot with the same power as say.. a fire hose?

:D

DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL:cmad:

[WompuM]

Ok, so let's think about the universe. Galaxies are moving away from each other. In each galaxy, let's say the Milky Way, branches of stars are orbiting around the massive center. In these branches, the stars themselves are moving away from each other. Around these stars, our sun for instance, planets are orbiting at an incredible speed. These planets are rotating on their axises. So, at any moment, you are moving at an unbelievable pace through space and when you think about it, you never occupy the same space more than once.

And yet, when Marty pushes the DeLorean up to 88 mph, and causes the time machine to travel through time, not space, he ends up in the same relative spot on Earth instead of floating through that same spot in empty space where the Earth was not in 1955.

Why?

[Carcharodon]

Isn't Godzilla like one big nuclear reactor? In which case, he'd generate his own energy and wouldn't really need to eat. Biologically impossible.

[The Incredible Hulk]

Biologically impossible.

Tell that to the Japanese.

[Carcharodon]

Tell that to the Japanese.The better debate would be whether Godzilla could walk on land as a biped at 300-ft tall or some ridiculous height. But then I guess if you throw magical radiation into the mix (the same radiation that made him 300-ft tall and able to breathe fire, basically) you can't really debate it lol.

[Shemtov]

Actually, the force of his ejaculation will probably tear her lower torso apart.

What happens when a zombie bites a terminator?

[Carcharodon]

Why?....because then Marty would be dead, and the movie would be like 15 minutes long.

What happens when a zombie bites a terminator?I wonder whether his flesh would start rotting away. Wouldn't affect his operation, though.

[[A]]

The title should be about movie plots/ideas -- not fandom ideas..

Can Doc Ock run?

Either we walks on his own two feet or the tentacles walk for him, but can he actually run on his own?

[Kirmit]

About the Gremlins, was it ever confirmed salt water had the same effect on them?

[Shemtov]

And even if Lois survived, her body would treat the supersperm like a virus.

[Carcharodon]

About the Gremlins, was it ever confirmed salt water had the same effect on them?I'm not sure why it wouldn't. The pool was chlorinated.

[C. Lee]

I'm not sure why it wouldn't. The pool was chlorinated.

chlorine is not salt.

[Drakon]

Ka-bookmarking so I can respond after work.

[Carcharodon]

chlorine is not salt.I guess I assumed that we would be talking about chloride, but maybe the chlorine in pools doesn't exist in an ionized state. That would be logical, since organisms that live in a marine environment don't seem to be affected all that much by the chloride present in sea water...but would presumably be killed by the chlorine in pools. At least microorganisms, anyway.

EDIT: Ah, I see. Chlorinating the pools leads to the creation of hypochlorous acid. However, why would the Gremlins be more affected by inert ions in aqueous solution when the chlorinated pool environment had no ill-effect? Are we discussing this purely as a matter of ionic concentration? What is the relative ionic concentration of a chlorinated pool compared to the ocean? The ocean is at an approximate concentration of, like, 35 ppt.

[WompuM]

See, I thought the same thing about zombie-terminator, except what if it was a T-800 model that specialized in infiltration, and having living skin was a part of it's core function, and must repair any damages so it can continue its mission. Then, when infected w/ zombieism, it is in a state of flux, that no matter how much it keeps repairing its skin, say by eating the flesh of other living things, it keeps rotting and dieing, throwing its operational system into an infinite loop, thereby creating a zombie-terminator.

[Majik1387]

I don't know why but I like this thread.:yay:

[WompuM]

What's not to like?

[huskerwebhead]

The most awesome and most sad fanboy scenario debate I've ever participated in was the Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate. Basically, who would win in a space battle. Could Star Destroyer's withstand a borg cube? How would the Enterprise do against a squad of X-Wings. How would Starfleet fair against the Death Star? Obviously, Star Trek's technology would clean the Star Wars Universe's clock.

[WompuM]

You think so? Star Wars is more like the Air Force where Star Trek is more like the Navy. Sure, trek has heavier arms, but SW has speed and maneuverability. Each Star Destroyer alone is packed to the brim with TIE fighters, bombers, interceptors, etc. Sure, a Borg cube is a monumental threat, but I don't think it would stand a chance against the Death Star.

[AndThePickles]

Who would win in an epic dwarf battle? Thorin with Orcrist, or Gimli with his axe? (LOTR nerd stuff)

[huskerwebhead]

OK....here we go. :D

It's mostly a technology thing. Trek tech is far beyond SW tech in many areas. Take transporters for example. The ability to transport troops to an enemy ship, or worse yet, an explosive device, would end most confrontations rather quickly. Warp speed is far superior and more configurable. For example, changing destination in mid warp or doing short warp bursts

You're only thinking about ships such as the Enterprise. Keep in mind that just within Starfleet you have many variations on ship size and firepower. Take the small Runabouts...small, maneuverable, not the most powerful. But you also have ships like the Defiant. Small, maneuverable, powerful, and cloaking capabilities. It would have no problems keeping up or bettering SW level ship. Klingon ships are all built for high maneuverability and high firepower.

Shields are also far more powerful in the ST universe than in the SW world. I doubt lasers from any small tie fighter or X-wing would even cause damage to ST shields. Whereas phasers, plasma beams, or disruptors would likely obliterate most small SW ships quickly.

As far as the Borg goes against the Death Star. I agree. One hit by the main cannon and it's toast. But in the event that at least a few borg are beamed aboard the death star, it's just a matter of assimilation taking it's course.

Thorin should be ashamed of himself. What self-respecting dwarf uses an elfin weapon?

Bah, give me a non-enchanted, but dwarf-made, battleaxe any day than a thin, little blade forged by some pointy-eared, metrosexual, hippy surface fairies.

Whoa whoa whoa, it's a thin, but STRONG and long blade that could probably chop through a regular axe. And it can warn you when orcs are around! And it doesn't grow dull or rust.

[C. Lee]

Han shoots Greedo first, who while dieing gets off a wild shot and blows off Thorin's head, as he falls he stabs the laughing Gimli who is now mortally wounded, luckily a passing Borg ship arrives and absorbs him into the collective, on the Borg ship he runs into a Terminator (who hasn't been absorbed because they think he is already a Borg due to all of his exposed metal parts), the Terminator in his quest to kill John, Sara, Bart, anyone named Connor hotwires the transporter and arrived in Gotham City just in time to meld with the Joker ala Brundlefly, in his haste and hunger he tries to eat Dent but only manages to regurgitate his acid on half of him, turning him into two face and thus leaving Rachel alive, this causes Bruce to consider giving up being Batman so that he can live a life of peace with her....if he could only decide between the Katie or Maggie Rachel......

Bah, who needs a fancy blade t' warn ye when orcs're around? Vile things stink to the Seven Heavens, ye'd have t' be daft t' not smell 'em 'fore they come rushin' in, tryin' t' pretend that they know the first thing about combat.

An' no dwarven axe is a "regular" axe. Dwarves build things t' last generations, and they live at least five lifetimes of a man. No blade made by elves can match a dwarf-forged, masterwork weapon.



God, I need to find a D&D group again. :csad:

[SuperFerret]

Close thread. This is about as awesome as you can get.

It would be, except that Orcrist is a sword, and has no head.

[AndThePickles]

I seem to recall something from one of Tolkien's books where a dwarf axe split and an elvish blade didn't. But since I can't remember the specifics, I'm not quite sure how to respond to your roleplay, haha

[SuperFerret]

Brottor (my dwarf paladin) has become as much a part of who I am as SuperFerret is, and he's got a tendency to slip out from time to time.

[Figs]

It would be, except that Orcrist is a sword, and has no head.

:dry:

I think the rest of what he typed and linked together overrides one little incorrect fact about LotR(or is it D&D?).

[SuperFerret]

You'd think so, but it doesn't.

It's Tolkien, so LotR is close enough, though the Rings Trilogy and the Hobbit had a huge hand in D&D's creation, so it's all the same basically.

I bet it creates an entire world to adapt to whatever the Pokemon needs or wants. If it wants it to be a giant party, then it'll be a party. Water pokemon would want like an aquarium, Hitmonchan would want a gym.
It's like an adaptable TARDIS.

This though is probably the right answer. It begs the question though, what would those rock Pokemon have. They seem so boring and emotionless. We don't count Machop, Machoke and Machamp because they were just made of harden clay..not rock. :cwink:

Or another scenario: Could a Terminator be used as a battery by the Matrix?
The T1000 would kill Agent Smith.

[Manic]

And even if Lois survived, her body would treat the supersperm like a virus.
Wouldn't that be moot, since sperm dies out in a week or two?

[BlackLantern]

Penny Arcade tells us that a pokeball is a dark, cold place that turns Pokemon into mother****ers....because when you're in a big match..what do you want coming out?? a nice relaxed Pokemon whos tired from partying or an angry mother****er??

[MessiahDecoy123]

The T1000 would kill Agent Smith.
Agent Smith is a mental image. He doesn't exist in the physical world.

Killing him would be like killing Freddy Krueger.

[Aesop Rocks]

Well pull him out of your computer ya big silly!

[Bad Superman]

Agent Smith is a mental image. He doesn't exist in the physical world.

Killing him would be like killing Freddy Krueger.

In that case Smith would win since he's a mental image. T1000 would point his weapon of choice to his head and blow his head off.

[Manic]

Oh, for goodness sake.

T1000 is a physical machine, and Smith is a computer program that exists solely within the Matrix. In order for the two to meet, T1000 would have to integrate its programming into the Matrix. Once there, T1000's abilities would be limited due to the laws of physics programmed into the Matrix. If the two met and fought, Smith could pummel T1000 until he died (ie. his programming would be corrupted and destroyed). If T1000 won the fight, Smith could just pop up in a new body. If we're talking about Reloaded/Revolutions Smith, then T1000 would become Smith.

There.

[Speedball]

Does anyone else think that skynet and the terminators were the starting point for the Matrix?
edit - I mean if they existed in the same universe.

[BlackLantern]

No...skynet wouldn't bother with humans, they didn't need us for anything save for experiments....in Matrix land, they needed people for battery power

[MessiahDecoy123]

No...skynet wouldn't bother with humans, they didn't need us for anything save for experiments....in Matrix land, they needed people for battery power
The war with terminators could've evolved into the matrix.

What caused the matrix machines to turn to humans as a power source was when humans, as an act of war, blotted out the sun. That could've easily happened in the Terminator universe.

[SuperFerret]

If the Terminators were solar-powered.

[BlackLantern]

which they aren't...they run on those hydrogen cell thingies that have a 500 year half life or some **** like that

[KevanG]

For the Matrix movies, even before I read what the script writers (the whatchamacallem Bros.) originally thought of for it, which was neural power as opposed to body heat, I've always thought that the body heat idea was stupid. The body heat exchange for what is normally released is a huge loss from what they would need. Neural power is alot easier to imagine as they already have full access to our minds for the matrix.

[Spider-Vader]

Isn't Godzilla like one big nuclear reactor? In which case, he'd generate his own energy and wouldn't really need to eat.

As for the Terminator scenario, I guess if he generates heat he could be a battery. Wasn't that the premise of using the humans in the matrix? basically the heat their bodies generated was used to power the matrix. Although considering he's a machine anyway, wouldnt he be more useful to the Matrix in being used to hunt down humans?


Terminator isn't one person, so it should be 'They'. :cmad::cmad::cmad:

[SuperFerret]

Terminator isn't a person, so it should be 'It'. :cmad::cmad::cmad:

[Spider-Vader]

BUT IT HAS HUMAN SKIN!!! & the one from T2, had emotions....sorta.

[SuperFerret]

Still an it.

[KevanG]

But no individual identity, except maybe serial number. :p Skyney exists as one identity, the other machines are mostly just extensions of that. There are certain exceptions though, The T-800 Prototype from Salvation. So I guess it's a kinds/sorta deal with this. I blame the time travel.

[SuperFerret]

Is it really human skin? I thought it was just human-like. Actual human skin would make it lame.

[KevanG]

It's vat grown with the Blood, hair, ect. It's not like they flay people for it and sew it on. They explain with a bit more detail in the TV show.

[SuperFerret]

I'll believe what I want to believe then. No need for me to go outside the original material to ask non-existent questions that aren't brought up there.

[BlackLantern]

arnold even explains in T2 that its manufactured human skin

[Shemtov]

Wouldn't that be moot, since sperm dies out in a week or two?
No. The sperm would have superpowers.
How long out of sunlight does it take Superman to be totaally poweless?
The Zygotes, being charged while Kal-el's Testicles, would have superpowers for that period, until the sunlessness of Lois' birth canal makes them tottally weak, and THEN the 2 weeks start.
Being of a totally alien species, the body would reject them. Of course being superpowered, Lois's immune system would be unable to handle they were weak enough. Lois's only recourse would be too take a Kryptonite douche.

[SuperFerret]

I hope Lois's birth canal is sunless.

[Hobgoblin]

I still dont understand how Lois can even try to carry Kal-El's kid. They are wo different species. Even Wonder Woman, a la the "Mallrats" argument, couldnt carry Kal Jr. She may be strong enough but she isnt really even a biological creature (as I understand it).

[SuperFerret]

Different species can breed in very rare occasions. In all likelihood, if fertilization takes place AND if the fetus survives gestation, it would be sterile, like a mule or liger.

[Shemtov]

IF they are from the same planet.

[SuperFerret]

Who's to say that that's not the case? Obviously, Connor Kent shows that human and Kryptonian DNA is compatible, so I'd say that particular crossbreed is definitely possible within the realm of the DCU.

Next question!

[BlackLantern]

but Connor is a product of very structured genetic engineering

[SuperFerret]

And biological fertilization isn't very structured? I'm not saying that Clark will knock Lois up every time, but seeing as how every fertilization is basically a one-in-a-million shot, it's believable if DC decided to give them a kid.

[Sam Fisher]

Bourne vs. Bond: Who would win?

[SuperFerret]

Godzilla.

DC shouldn't be retarded and give them a kid, where would they find the time to properly raise it

He's got ths skills, the gadgets, the cars, the women, the better movies and because Bourne sucks.

[SuperFerret]

They'll raise it in those little white lines between panels, same place where they bathe, sleep, eat, and crap.

Ah, but who's to say his sperm would be super for very long? Kryptonian kids and teenagers aren't even that strong. Why would Clark's sperm sustain superpowers for very long in the womb? His sperm might live, what, a day or two longer than human sperm? Woo hoo.


I still dont understand how Lois can even try to carry Kal-El's kid. They are wo different species. Even Wonder Woman, a la the "Mallrats" argument, couldnt carry Kal Jr. She may be strong enough but she isnt really even a biological creature (as I understand it).
Hey, Clark wouldn't be the first alien to mate with an Earth human. Adam Strange got it on with an alien woman, and they had a kid.

Wonder Woman might've been born from clay, but she's magic. In Greek mythology, people made of weird s*** had kids all the time. Hell, Donna Troy had a son, and she's just Wonder Woman's copy (also created by magic). She could have Superman's kid. Even better, they could inseminate Lois' egg and ask Wonder Woman to act as a surrogate.

DC shouldn't be retarded and give them a kid, where would they find the time to properly raise it
Are you kidding? Plenty of superheroes find the time to raise their kids. Wally West has two. They can take care of the kids when they're not at work and when Clark isn't fighting evil. If they're both busy, they know a ton of people who could handle their kids. Clark's mom, Power Girl or any member of the Justice Society, Wonder Woman, Dick Grayson (so long as he can assure Clark that Damian won't kill it), the list goes on. Besides, it'd only be a matter of time before they found a way to rapidly age their kid to his/her pre-teens.

[Speedball]

I always found the Bond vs. Bourne debate more plausible than stuff like Superman vs. Batman.
One is a rogue agent trying to get away from his old life, while the other is a loyal agent fighting for queen and country.
Bond could be sent after Bourne... but would Bond actually capture him?

Yes

[SuperFerret]

I already answered the Bond v. Bourne debate. You guys always forget the Godzilla factor.

[Majik1387]

Godzilla factor?

[SuperFerret]

The Godzilla factor is simple. It states simply: Godzilla is always present in hypothetical situations, and therefore wins.

[Speedball]

Yes

Why would he though? Bond would eventually learn what the Americans did to him to make him the way he is. And he isn't a threat really. He's not some madman hell bent on taking over the world, or destroying the British economy.
Bond isn't one to go into something half-cocked. He analyzes the situation fully. Even though M said that he wants him to throw his ego to the side, he still has one, it's a defining part of his character.
I think he'd let Bourne go, once he fully knows the situation.
Now in a fight... jesus... I'd say Bourne would win actually. Bourne has a lot of stuff he does that he doesn't actually realize he does. It's instinct for him. He's not really in full control of himself. He's programmed to win. Bond isn't. He might have training, but not in the way Bourne has.

The Godzilla factor is simple. It states simply: Godzilla is always present in hypothetical situations, and therefore wins.
Interesting. I've been trying to think of a way to incorporate Godzilla into a mashup idea of mine, and this somehow helped. Thanks?:yay::huh::awesome:
Why would he though? Bond would eventually learn what the Americans did to him to make him the way he is. And he isn't a threat really. He's not some madman hell bent on taking over the world, or destroying the British economy.
Bond isn't one to go into something half-cocked. He analyzes the situation fully. Even though M said that he wants him to throw his ego to the side, he still has one, it's a defining part of his character.
I think he'd let Bourne go, once he fully knows the situation.

(and just saying Bourne would lose because he sucks isn't a legit reason. Your personal feelings can't really factor into here).
Simply put, Bond always gets the job done no matter what. Bourne isn't that much more of a threat than any of Bond's other adversaries, hence he wins.

That or Godzilla eats them both.

Yeah, there are a few missed opportunities in there. Zatanna as Scarlet Witch, Hawkman as Falcon, Black Canary as Mockingbird, I guess Elongated Man as Mr. Fantastic.

As for the off comparisons, the one that gets me is Green Lantern as Iron Man. That is waaayyy off. Even more off base than Batman as Daredevil.

[SuperFerret]

Batman and Daredevil have a lot in common. Firestorm as the Human Torch is the worst. It shows a complete lack of knowledge about either character.

probably....but that would make sense...not to mention the fact that the Justice League was established quite some time before the Aveners were

[The Lizard]

The thing that always irks me about the presence of near-omnipotent characters in superhero comics is that they're never really used correctly. Like when there's some Secret Wars type scenario where a bunch of heroes are attacking Galactus or whatever. Why are Galactus' powers shown in comics as being energy bolts or robots that pop up out of nowhere? If Galactus can control the space/time continuum and convert matter at will, then he's already defeated you before you even make the decision to attack him.

That's why I prefer my villains to be the street-level types seen in the Spidey or Batman rogues' galleries.

[T'Jai]

taking a Xenemorph from the Alien franchise...

With Zombie specifics to be determined (as there are so many of them to choose from)

ruling out Infected (as they are alive thereby Not Zombies)

is this theoretically a possibility?

thoughts?

[SuperFerret]

Xenomorphs are based off of ants and wasps in their behaviour, so it's safe to assume that like certain wasps, their larva need to gestate in a living host.

[Figs]

I doubt it considering the assumption that the baby feeds of you in some way to actually grow larger. Maybe they don't need to feed off you(blood maybe) but if they do zombies aren't alive thus their tissue is dead and rotting.

Xenomorphs are based off of ants and wasps in their behaviour, so it's safe to assume that like certain wasps, their larva need to gestate in a living host. but what life processes are required in order for a host to be suitable? As we have never seen an undead creature introduced into the fray I believe there is some wiggle room as to what is potentially required to support the gestation period...

I doubt it considering the assumption that the baby feeds of you in some way to actually grow larger. Maybe they don't need to feed off you(blood maybe) but if they do zombies aren't alive thus their tissue is dead and rotting.

That's just my BS guess. but their tissue contain some active processes would those processes be enough to support the Xenemorphs? (they are a particularly resilient and pernicious species it might fly...)

I would imagine that zombie flesh would be toxic, and may not even have the requisite nutrients to sustain anything.

[Mr.Webs]

I guess we could use the standard Romero zombie. I mean, when most of us think zombie, we think Rob Zombie. Then we think Romero zombie.

[SuperFerret]

I think of the classic Romero type of zombie. And I doubt they even digest anything. They seem to be barely aware, half-functional nervous systems.

[T'Jai]

Very true. I'm not well-versed in all the zombie types.
fair enough

I guess we could use the standard Romero zombie. I mean, when most of us think zombie, we think Rob Zombie. Then we think Romero zombie.

we can use that as a starting point as it is the original interpretation of the "Modern Zombie" which incidentally are more properly called Ghouls by Mr.Romero himself and in his original film series

[SuperFerret]

Ghouls are a better term, and allows for them to be more intelligent. The Marvel Zombies were more ghoulish than zombie because they were sentient. Zombies are essentially mindless.


Plus it annoys me that some recent stuff has portrayed the voodoo zombie condition as being able to be spread via bites.

[Mr.Webs]

I am big on zombies, but I have to say my Xenomorph knowledge isn't too extensive. But like it has been already stated, the Xenomorph was based off of the wasp. I just did some research (thanks Google), that states that certain parasitic wasps CAN live and grow in dead hosts.

But then, there's the acidic blood we have to take into account. I don't think we can get around that one.

My greatest thought has always been what happens when a zombie bites a T-800?

Well, I'll tell you! They T-800's internal components will recognize a contamination if its outter disguise skin. Since concealment is one of T-800's highest priorities, it will go into repair mode to fix it's skin. How does it repair? Harvesting new skin from those around it. Except the zombie infection keeps rotting away the T-800's flesh, no matter how much it harvests, so the T-800 is stuck in an infinite loop of harvesting flesh, and BAM:

Zombie Terminator.

the survival protocols of an organic Ghoul/Zombie wouldn't be able to infect or overcome the cybernetic core programming of a T-800 so aside from it's consistently rotting exterior (which can be achieved by applying copious amounts of firepower/flame/other physical trauma) I'm not sure what the gain would be...

I assume it would be a standard Xenomorph most of the time, and transform into a wolf-human-xenomorph hybrid during a full moon.

Unless it's one of those werewolves that can transform at will and aren't cursed. The real question is, if this thing bites you and you survive, what happens to you?

[Mr.Webs]

Good question. I wonder if the Xenomorph's DNA would transform the Werewolf virus so that it would deadly to a human being?

Vampires are traditionally mystical beings. Most monsters are, undead in particular. Zombies only recently became the stuff of science fiction. Originally they were the product of voodoo magic.

[Metamorpho1977]

[SuperFerret]

What about them?

[terry78]

How would that lore work in comparison to a wolf?

[SuperFerret]

Well, it depends on the culture. Just like with wolves, weasels are seen as both noble and villainous in different cultures. I'm sure there is wereweasel folklore, but it's not common.

[Pythenis]

Kinda Wereweasel folklorish - kama itachi, or "sickle weasel", is a creature from Japanese myth - a tiny animal with sharp claws which flies in windstorms at night. It's blamed for cold-chapped skin, sandals which break for no apparent reason - and is also a less embarrassing explanation for scratches received in the bedroom.

[SuperFerret]

It's a theoretical problem for the zombie virus if the xenomorph's extremely acidic blood destroys it, preventing the zombie infection from taking hold. We're talking about zombies attacking the xenomorphs, not vice versa.

[The Lizard]

I doubt it considering the assumption that the baby feeds of you in some way to actually grow larger. Maybe they don't need to feed off you(blood maybe) but if they do zombies aren't alive thus their tissue is dead and rotting.

This ^

In the first Alien, Kane was very hungry after the face-hugger fell off, and he was eating as much as possible due to the Alien embryo growing inside him.

Zombies have no digestive actions, despite their eating constantly. That, and the decomposing flesh make them unsuitable hosts for xenomorphs. Presumably a face-hugger would not even attach itself to a zombie in the first place due to the lack of normal vital signs.

[SuperFerret]

This leads to another question. I think we can all agree that zombies don't digest anything they eat, so what happens when a zombie gets full?

[chaseter]

I would love to see a movie where an Alien transforms into a Predator during the full moons and he goes around killing his fellow Aliens.

[Carcharodon]

It's a theoretical problem for the zombie virus if the xenomorph's extremely acidic blood destroys it, preventing the zombie infection from taking hold. We're talking about zombies attacking the xenomorphs, not vice versa.Oh, I see, then that makes perfect sense. My mistake.

[Carcharodon]

This ^

In the first Alien, Kane was very hungry after the face-hugger fell off, and he was eating as much as possible due to the Alien embryo growing inside him.There are inconsistencies with that symptom, however. Are we assuming that after the aliens cocoon a human host that they feed them during the parasite's development? Subsequent depictions seem to ignore that implication from the first film.

Presumably a face-hugger would not even attach itself to a zombie in the first place due to the lack of normal vital signs.Now that's an interesting point.

[chaseter]

I don't think face huggers see vital signs...I think they only see body heat. I don't see how an animal would see pulse or heart rate through the air...water yes but air no.

[Carcharodon]

I don't think face huggers see vital signs...I think they only see body heat. I don't see how an animal would see pulse or heart rate through the air...water yes but air no.How about carbon dioxide, or other chemical cues?

But wasn't there a scene where they had a helmet on or it was in another room and it jumped onto the helmet or the glass? It wouldn't be able to smell or taste chemical cues then. It would still however be able to see body heat. Plus, not all animals would breathe oxygen and emit carbon dioxide as a respiratory waste product.

But that even makes my question more perplexing...if it was set in the past, why has Earth not encountered the obvious abundance of alien life out there? I mean no Earth references? They have mastered space travel, a far away galaxy ain't nothing to them, but they have never been on Earth.

[Mr.Webs]

This leads to another question. I think we can all agree that zombies don't digest anything they eat, so what happens when a zombie gets full? Their stomach would probably explode due to the contents, as they just keep eating and eating and eating....

[random_havoc]

Ok, so let's think about the universe. Galaxies are moving away from each other. In each galaxy, let's say the Milky Way, branches of stars are orbiting around the massive center. In these branches, the stars themselves are moving away from each other. Around these stars, our sun for instance, planets are orbiting at an incredible speed. These planets are rotating on their axises. So, at any moment, you are moving at an unbelievable pace through space and when you think about it, you never occupy the same space more than once.

And yet, when Marty pushes the DeLorean up to 88 mph, and causes the time machine to travel through time, not space, he ends up in the same relative spot on Earth instead of floating through that same spot in empty space where the Earth was not in 1955.

Why?

Just because they have mastered traveling from one solar system to the next, it doesn't mean they have accomplished travel from one galaxy to the next.

Even if they can travel from one galaxy to the next....we don't know how many galaxies away they are (remember, they are in a galaxy far far away).

In the Star Wars movies they showed the galactic senate made up of the represenatives from millions of worlds. I'm sure many of them are complaining about not getting enough press in the movies too.

[chaseter]

How many of those other senators have seen Star Wars to complain about their planet not being hinted at?

We had a fun little side conversation in the Funny Pics thread about Gremlins sinking with the Titanic. I made a wise guy comment about the little buggers soon multiplying exponentially as they fell into the waters of the north Atlantic. It would, as I said, have been the end of the world.

Others disagreed, and a debate broke out. Is birth painful for Gremlins, causing them to go into shock and drown? Would they freeze to death or would the sheer numbers outpace the death rate? Can Lois have Superman's baby? (Dont ask me how that question popped into the conversation, I dont remember.)

So here we are, film, comic book and sci fi geeks. Debate away.

I'll give you a topic: What does Godzilla eat? For such a huge animal, he doesnt have large prey to hunt. Does he somehow eat plankton, or other tiny marine life, like a whale?

"Only if he wears a Kryptonite condom, and that would kill him."

Clark and Lois need to keep an artificial red sun lamp in the bedroom for stuff like that.

Regenerating Zombie Jason vs a Werewolf, What would happen if these 2 were to fight each other? Suppose the werewolf were to mess Jason up pretty bad but still didn't kill him, would Jason be able to turn into a werewolf because he now carried the werewolf virus or would Jason remain the same since he is something besides a regular human?

A human is bitten by a vampire, werewolf & zombie in no particular order would the human then become a hybrid of all 3 or would each bite counter act each other so the human would either die or become only one of the monsters mentioned above?

All Lois would need it to wear a Blue Kryptonite necklace while she & Superman are making love & it would render him powerless.

I thought blue kryptonite healed Superman and hurt Bizarro.

The Ghostbusters vs. the stringy haired Ring girl and the Grudge girl. Would Egon be able to create some way to trap them without succumbing to the curses?

On Smallville it suppresses Kryptonians' powers.

Has anyone asked the transformers question yet?

I've always wondered how Megatron and Soundwave could grow and shrink. I discovered what makes them grow and shrink would probably power their forcefields as well. Neutron stars are compressed matter the size of Manhattan because the energy used has run out. Imagine how something the size of a star compressed to the size of Manhattan would relate to something the size of a semi truck to compressed to a handgun. Maybe they know of a way to manipulate the properties of Neutrons to recycle the energy that keeps the particles apart to use as a force field. Aint science grand?

Also how do transformers have sex?

Okay, I got an oldie but a goodie:

Captain Picard vs Captain Kirk!!

Who wins in:

1) Hand to hand combat (both in their primes)

2) ship to ship combat (assuming tech was the same)

Oh, well, if Smallville does it that way... :whatever:

Question are all of aliens liquid excretions acidic?

[SuperFerret]

Their saliva doesn't seem to be.
