We are related so closely to all lifeforms on Earth there's no reason to be simping for humes even if you think butterflies bad too. Yes. We are killing our planet. They killed theirs already. You've found a species even more hosed up than people, good work.

People really want death to only happen to nameless mooks, once the audience knows your name you're supposed to have plot armor personally I appreciate that the show treats death seriously

Mulva posted:Yes. We are killing our planet. They killed theirs already. You've found a species even more hosed up than people, good work. We're not killing our planet. Our planet's fine. Short of some astronomical collision that shatters it, our planet will continue circling our sun the same as it has for the previous billions of years. Now, what we can do and are doing is unbalancing the factors that allow our planet to support complex life forms. Like, y'know, us. But it's no biggie. Our planet has a built-in mechanism that allows it to rebalance itself. It eventually kills off the unbalancing species and things going back to their norm. So don't worry. Our planet will be perfectly fine. It just won't be "our" planet any more. Because we'll be extinct.

Khanstant posted:Is there any reason to oppose the butterflies? Only reason I can see is if you're already some kind of radical pro-human activist or something. Don't know much about the butterflies yet besides they have as much right to be here as us and that on the surface they seem much less environmentally evil than humanity. One cow thing to feed them all, doesn't seem to drain the Earth in the process like when we feed off of it. Murn seems like the badguy, wanting to do a genocide essentially. Just hard to find reasons to be against the butterflies if you're not a human exceptionalist. if they wanted to come in peace they could've parasitazed great apes they chose not to, so gently caress 'em

Khanstant posted:That's a more compelling argument but on a gut level kind of seems like what we'd do first chance we got to be elsewhere in the galaxy or universe? I don't know what you hope for for lifeforms or the point of life on Earth but for me "surviving and expanding beyond the planet" is kind of the win-condition that leads to the sequel. Butterflies made a bad choice on a planet full of vengeful life, they're gonna die here, but it's hard not to root for intergalactic aliens ya know? nah it's like the martians from the original war of the worlds, if you're not smart enough to figure out how to invade another planet safely and decide YOLO you're going to get deservedly destroyed by the natives who have as much of a right to live as you

Relevant Tangent posted:if they wanted to come in peace they could've parasitazed great apes yeah. that being said. i suspect that mur is lying on some level and there are/were multiple factions of butterflies and he is the last of his faction and it wasn't just the "peace" faction. idk, i am mixed. then again its loving clear that he is telling the truth on some level because the butterflies just killed like 50 people in an episode. its clear everyone except peacemaker is lying out their rear end about motives and poo poo. its why i love this show because i have been genuinely surprised through out.

I keep thinking back to the first episode with the butterfly-lady that had sex with Peacemaker and what Murn said, that there was no real hidden agenda. She just wanted to gently caress him. And it makes sense in a certain way. I mean, think about if you trade in your old car and get a high-powered sports car. You're not going to just drive to work and the grocery store. You're gonna want to take that thing out on the road, open up the throttle and see what all these new muscles and erogenous zones are about. I admit that I'm kind of waiting for Chris to learn that all the butterflies except Goff/Song are males so he technically had sex with a guy when that happened. And then have a freakout. It kind of puts Goff/Song on a different level. She was still capable of relating to Fitzsimmons as a fellow sentient being, trying to give him what little comfort she could allow herself. Though the scene still comes off as her reassuring a turkey that he will be there for Thanksgiving.

You could do so easily. Put on a trench coat and shave the body of the gorilla who you emptied of all soul. It's DC, people see weirder things on the regular. They're taking the maximally hostile route by choice.

Maybe they took the gorilla as a last resort because unlike humans, gorilla's have pure souls.

They are the worst. Bragging about getting a brand new Xbox and mocking your ancient Sony PlayStation you bought from some guy down the street. Calling you Stinkberg because your shoes were old and laughing about how Santa wouldn’t ever come because your family doesn’t do Christmas. <sniff sniff> Homely weird kids are cool and so much better than those popular kids! <cries> gently caress you Todd MacClaren

If it's a series all three survive, since they've got undeveloped plot hooks and their first in the dance. That's basically all I got though.
