But, because you have seen it, correct me if i´m wrong.
Lex Luthor´s Ridiculous Plan
I´m sorry to say, but it´s just plain......not corny, not dumb....oh yeah, stupid.
So, Luthor´s plan is to build a new continent just to sell land.
That alone, IMO, is just stupid, but that´s me, and if that was the only problem, all would be fine.
It's also about Power, being the owner of the only working technology on the planet, being the only person who can "save" the rest of humanity from a new stone age and give them back civilization. Bringing them back the fire so to speak.
Not only he wants to build a new continent, he wants to create a Krytonian one.
Why? To kill Superman?
Why go to all that trouble, when a single piece of Kryptonite will do the trick?
Because a single piece of Kryptonite always has then bad habbit of ending somehow out of reach of the man of steel, a whole continent however that surrounds superman is not in danger of somehow being blocked.
And he will kill billions and destroy everything in the process...great, now the question that remains is, after billions are dead, who is there to buy his land?
6.5 billion beings on this planet, if he kills, lets say 2.8 billions there are still many left.
And if you kill billions, you´ll get a lot of empty space in return, so, why do people want to move to LuthorLand?
Because the empty space is wilderness, no electricity, no technology no comfort no civilization. Lex however offers a place that has civilization, technology and all homegrown. People will go where they can have the closest thing to their former lives.
So, he wants to build a new continent, and alien continent, and sell it. Why alien? To kill Superman! How is he going to kill Superman with Kryptonian soil? Because it has Kryptonite...oh brother
Because he can't grown a continent with human technology
First things first, the crystals are not natural, they are artificial, so, how the hell does Luthor have one?
Because he stole it from the Fortress of Solitude, which means that Superman had a continent builder crystal, so, the question that remains is, why did he had that?
No, he had a building crystal, a thing that is adabtable to the builders wishes, if the builder wants a spaceship, it grows a spaceship, if he wants a fortress it grows a fortress... so if the builder wants a continent...
Third assumption, and this one is the most laughable of all, all kryptonian crystals have the capacity to make land grow, all you have to do is had water
And why is it laughable?
Because of the same reason i say the continent builders crystals are artificial.
If you believe that they are natural and grow on kryptonian soil, you´ll have to believe that, if you go for a walk in Krypton, you´ll see masses of land erupting from everywhere.
Krypton, the ever-growing planet!
Krypton, the planet that will end engolfing the universe!
If you asume that the owner of the Crystal cannot control its growth then yes but since it is obvious that he can your point is moot.
But, worst than creating a continent, is the reason on how to kill Superman.
How? Because there is Kryptonite everwhere....
And how in hell is there Kryptonite? Does is grows on trees in Kryton? Do you really believe that there is a planet where the minerals kills their inhabitants? So, how the hell did they survived that long?
The crystals can adabt properties of minerals surronding them, Lex inserted Kryptonite into the growing crystal.
As far as I know Uranium is deadly to all forms of live on earth and it's a mineral here on this planet.
If it doesnt grows on trees, how can there be Krytonite in New Kryton? If Kryptonite is an anomaly, a natural flaw, how can a crystal that builds continents make anything more than a perfect land?
Like I said, the crystal was tainted with shards of Kryptonite and took on its property when it self replicated into the continent.
And don´t tell me that Luthor planted it there, because where he would get such a huge stash of Kryptonite? And the trouble to plant it all over is ridiculous.
All is needed is a big enough dose to make a building crystal take on its property since the crystal self replicates it does the same with the kryptonite taint.
But there is the most gigantic, most moronic flaw of all, one that suplents every other, one that makes every bit of his plan be utterly ridiculous....
Luthor wants to build a continent to sell the land, let´s imagine that all that is true, let´s imagine that he could actually build it, let´s imagine that there would be enough people interested in buying a piece of land, all that Luthor is going to get from all of it is...the eletric chair.
Basicaly, Luthor´s plan is to fry in the chair!
Who is going to arrest him? people who enter his continent? a few orders by luthor and whole armies will be killed the moment they set foot onto NK, imagione what happened to the yacht happening to armies when they attack, large crystal spears coming out of the ground and staking every last one of them, Lex can control every little part of NK down to crystals the size of a pebble if necessairy.
What was he thinking went he went throught with it?
No one can build land and get away with it, no one builds land and sells it, we are not talking about a little piece, but an all fu**ing continent.
That massive piece of land would automaticaly belong to the country is built upon, it will never belong to Luthor.
If it is built in international waters then no, there is no owner and even if it is build in jurisdiction of another country who will go there and enforce the rights? the Army? Well have fun being massacred I'd say.
What would he do? Would he fight for it? Say, i killed billions, but the land is mine? Would he go to war with the all world? And his plan of selling it?
So, in the end, it´s all plan is just ridiculous, he would never sell it and he went to all that trouble for nothing.
Of course he would and he would have enough technology to hold the world at bay, Heck if someone complains threaten them with the option of dropping a crystal into their heat land and watch it spread like cancer.
And people would of course come, after all Lex's continent is the only one that offers a modicum of civilization, technology, comformt and so on while the rest of the earth is a stone age **** hole. Just give them a little time till they grow desperate enough in their misery and they will gladly accept what Luthor has to offer by then, namely a green, lush continent where you wishes literally grow on trees, or to be more specific grow out of the "rocks".
Imho it's perfect, the best world domination plan ever and one that actually makes sense.
