I already got my answer, I'm not arguing with you.

the top half you're basically agreeing with me yet trying to use that to support your argument. We've yet met any aliens that science has legitimately studied, that's right, so why try to assume what an intelligent one looks like based on us? There's no other reason than to make the general audience relate to these characters.

I already got my answer. I will not take your answer or agree with it. I'm done.

District 9 looks bug-like which is a breath of fresh air, but still something new because we don't see a lot of instectoid/nonhumanoid aliens given human like attributes and values. The visual shell of portraying a good guy as the human looking being when in real world we are far from it and the exceptions are the minority.

I'll admit I misread the earthworm bit, but again that should go back to breaking out of your comfort zone and broaden your knowledge. it's that simple.

please point to me these creatures that live outside our planet because aside from a few microbes, there is nothing legitimately big enough for us to study. If you are talking about the UFO aliens cryptozoolgy describes, then it’s barely passable because of how nobody can meet them second time around for them to be studied accordingly.

No general reason? You are telling a story, you need to elucidate the details to readers so why are you trying to fry your mind on the lovelife of the dunwich horror(lovecraft) when your forte are genetic dinosaurs(crichton). I mentioned two authors that are expert to those two characters mentioned. Are you suggesting that the two authors step put of their comfort zones then? Honestly, i only came to this discussion because someone is telling seasoned authors who have created a lot of epic tales of subjects they know by heart to ignore those origins and tells other stories that they are not comfortable with.

i will admit that district 9 is a brand new story but the character design isn’t something new.

Then they need to step out of that comfort zone or don't try to make a story about aliens and try to make it realistic, because it comes off not so. Any alien race that is 70% human in appearance remove that realism same goes for robots, that is my only gripes.

It loses its sci-fi vibe and becomes more fantasy when you do that. And cats aren't intelligent enough to be attached to stories so making that argument is invalid.

District 9 does a great job with this. Besides you can give non-humanoid characters human attributes in the other end of the spectrum, look at Cars, finding Nemo or Zootopia it's a big hit for humans like myself so again idk if this answer is valid.

we are living in earth and have not met any alien that science has legitimately studied. your realism gripe is your fanciful way of thinking of what aliens should be and that is not even valid at all since because there is no standard for that at all. Lose the sci fi vibe?! We don’t even know what the nearest living alien looks like. who are you to say that when you haven’t even legitimately met an alien. If you are going to say one can imagine, then we go back to that point where people are more comfortable on what they know intimately. stepping out of that “comfort zone” is even more harder because there is no legitimate first step to it.

i mentioned cats and acorn worms since these are creatures we humans have intimate knowledge of. key point there is intimate knowledge. You seem to gloss that over. district 9 did a good job?! By what standard is that? Those bugs are still reminiscent of clicking bugs and cockroaches of earth.

My point is you can get that point across by giving those character other element like emotions and intelligent to make them relatable to human audience obviously. You don't have to go against the logic of reality to somehow make the off chance an alien somehow looks like us by chance when theres trillions upon trillions of stars system in our universe. We're not special and you can make good characters without making them look like us. That's not a satisfying answer and it can be done without the rudeness, just cuz something look like us doesn't mean I'm gonna gravitate to that character unless they're well written, I don't have a caveman mentality to where I see human "ooh human good" or I see a being that doesn't "ah must be evil, must destroy". That feel cheap, I guess I go with what the other user said, the lack of creativity and imagination.

Or a lot of authors are more comfortable on telling a story in hue of characters they know best. it feels cheap to you because you are ignoring those “comfort“ zones and a lot of author’s imagination and creativity thrive on that. what would you do if you are asked to write stories about an acorn worm when your main forte are cats?

Anyone with good regeneration can survive it though i would postulate an argument that extreme chakra usage might hamper that regeneration.

I would assume the time stone only showed possible solutions within that universe, with the book of vishanti outside that requirement given that it is trchnically outside said universe

And the first thing i see after being absent in comicvine for years is the omnipotence argument hehe

it’s a very exhausive argument which requires at least to ignore logic at some point however in relation to what universe uses it, it becomes a nuanced discussion. I mean marvel has levels of omnipotence, dc kills its omnipotence clause every few years and other universes generally simply opts to one above everyone argument. i will only argue within their universes definition of omnipotence though

@kyrees: Because There is no way to know if they Will manage to restrain themself Forever, i would never risk it, a single lack of morality and a Child gets raped. As i said before, if you think that killing them is to extreme then restrain them as long as we don't find a way to cure them

then judge the people who can't restrain themselves, help the ones that want to be cured and ignore the ones that remain unknown. that's the perfect reaction to this because thought policing is a dangerous slope that can trigger a lot more than the intended cause. heck, i might as well assume orwellian levels of control by the government in a worst case scenario of dealing harshly to what amounts to future crime

@forgotblobfish: a pedophile is inherently Wicked, can't do nothing about that, if i could dispose of them i would, if you want to call me a nazi because i want to get rid of pedophiles be my guest.

why are you so focused on killing people who will not be physically, emotionally and psychologically dangerous to anyone regardless of terrible urges they have ? paedophilia isn't exactly the only dangerous urge out there.

i might as well say you're inherently wicked for thinking of killing people
