  • That’s the twist they went with?

    Yeah, Gunn went with the old Twilight Zone plot, but the message got damaged in the crash so Clark thought “to serve man” meant to be helpful, and never learnt to cook.

    (Plus, after growing up with the best versions of Ma and Pa Kent I’ve ever seen he wouldn’t for a second have accepted the real message and he’d still have acted exactly the same way as he did when he believed it told him to help; Lara and Jor-El might be his biological parents, but his real parents, the ones who educated him, were always the Kents.)

    That’s the twist they went with? Isn’t that just the plot of Dragon Ball?

    Dragon Ball Z.

    The plot of Dragon Ball is Journey to the West / boobs are fun / Toriyama forgot, let’s do fights.






  • in like sg1 which is more realistic to use, we would need aliens to give us the tech, because we would never be able to conceive on our own.

    Excuse me, we stole, I mean salvaged, most of that tech by ourselves, and we used it to kick goa’uld ass all over the galaxy (and, to be fair, they had stolen it first).

    Sure, some aliens did give us some tech, but only because we saved their scrawny hyper-advanced asses from their own hubris because, unlike them, we could conceive of hitting things with a big stick, or shooting small but fast metal pellets at them using barely controlled explosions (you know what, disregard the metal pellet and controlled explosions part, just throw C4 at the problem until it goes away!).

    Damn, I miss that series.
