The presence that animates the Trucks always intended to wipe out humanity. It just needed some temporary slaves until this was done.

Chuck does become more vulnerable over time. He's never killed until he becomes more human, because of course as a doll he'd be unkillable. As far as I can tell he's never become totally human, though, so he can survive things that would kill a human.

Wow that still makes it a utterely assinine line that never should have been used. The guy never added but you still have durability advantages that humans don't have.

Movie;Who Framed Roger Rabbit
What does Judge Doom look like in his true cartoon form?

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

Probably something along the lines of - "It's a movie about a killer doll. You're over-thinking it."

Wow that would be a extremely lame response. If your going write a line that describes logic in a movie but then go against it's own logic it's utterely freakin idiotic and a huge plot hole that can't be overlooked.

It's also a prisoner talking about how black magic works. What makes him an expert on the exact details of how that spell works?

Unless I missed something the information shown in the movie show's he practices voodoo magic.

No, no, no. I think he'd just be a very small person if he became fully human. But he never does. In the first three at least, he's killed while still partially doll like and thus more durable than a human. It's a gradual transformation.

Movie: Richie Rich
Why the hell did the Villain not freakin shot at riche's head as it's clearly not protected? It's obvious he has a bulletproof vest on after the 1st shot yet he still decides to shoot in the same damn area.

That'd be a sad ending to that movie.

Im aware but it still astounds me that he kept shooting at a bulletproof vest.

Marvel Comics 616 Universe
What is Bullseye's last name?

Is that a trick question? It's listed as unknown on the Marvel wiki.

Okay, my question: how many of Morbius's powers are psionic?

Of course it can be overlooked. You simply ask yourself: Did I come here for logic, or did I come here to see a foul-mouthed doll *^#& people up with a knife?

Or, you don't ask, and just take it as a given.

On Star Trek, why don't they use transporters more? They go up and down to planets from spaceships, but on Earth they still use regular modes of transportation. I mean, they have friggin transporters, why aren't they transporting almost everything?

Any of them, OS, NG, Reboot.

Until the recent movies, the transporters didn't really work for incredibly long distances. There's signal loss, among other things; signals can get crossed. Remember, transporters don't actually teleport you, they tear you apart and recreate you over there. The implications of this procedure preserving consciousness and a supposed soul are probably better unconsidered.

This makes no sense. They would be digital signals, so this has to assume that the Star Trek future has worse tech for ensuring data integrity than the average web server now.

Another thing that Star Trek avoids with this tech is that it doesn't matter if any crew member dies. Just store a backup of the data and reconstitute anyone you lose. And even though you have to destroy a person to copy them, there's nothing to stop you from making multiple copies and beaming an army of Kirks throughout the universe.

The thing that doesn't make sense in Star Trek is beaming back. You've got the machine that destroys and transmits a person on the ship, but what takes care of that function on the planet? Is it in the communicators? Are the beamed clones unstable copies that can simply be dissolved with a signal from the ship? If so, why do they keep their memories of the time while beamed?

Maybe what happens is that when someone is beamed they are tracked by the transporter. When it's time to beam them back their current data is copied and used to update what's stored on the ship. The clone is allowed to disolve and the person, with updates applied, is reconstituted on the ship.

This would be a good solution because you have to track less data remotely because you only have to track changes. And it'd explain the distance limit to some extent, you can't beam a person farther than you can track them in real time if you want to beam them back. But that's only if you aren't sending them somewhere that also has a transporter.

Pretty much. The longer the distance r the more interference, the more likely you'll be taken apart and reformed as a piles of goo saying 'kill me!'

I'm still waiting on my question, if anyone has an answer. No rush, guys.
