senseless brute
Yo, @Sol Zagato, @GhostKaiju. Not to rain on this lovely discussion, but this is getting grossly off-topic.
Isn't there a Nausicaä thread for you guys to take this discussion to?
So, I double-checked... and @GhostKaiju was right, there was no Nausicaä thread.I wish, but I count on one hand the amount of times I've seen that series mentioned on ANY xenforo forum, and nine of them invovle a full out thread.
Still, point taken, discussion ending.
I have rectified the situation.
So, why does Nausicaä deserve its own thread? It's damn original, and it's epic.
Original? See the pic at top? That's the origin of the FF-series chocobos. It's chock full of enough whacked-out stuff to satisfy even Mobeius.
Plot?
It's a well-thought-out post-apocalyptic world. Half the (remaining) world is about to be destroyed. And Miyazaki will make you care about it.
Now, TO THE ARGUMENTS REMAINING:
Um, pardon? Spaceships? What are you talking about? There's no evidence of space travel in Nausicaä; it's not out of the realm of possibility, true, but there is literally no evidence whatsoever of there being any to begin with.
Nooooot exactly a space shuttle.
Haha, no. All the obviously engineered, slightly superhuman people who have LIMITED REGENERATION (see Kurotowa over several chapters) are going to die off because (spoilers) if nothing is done. Getting rid of the successor humans and their tech cache does nothing but screw over the possiblity of hope on earth.Considering thise same 'humans' were responsible for killing the Earth in the first place, made giant radioactive slime robot kaijus run around with full sapience and had the brilliant idea of fixing the ruine dworld by bombing it, creatinga nnew species of humans with selective respiratory systems, create an entire ecosystem for them to thrive in with the sole purpose of purifying the Earth;
And then fully expect for every single last bit of life on this new Earth to just keel over and die, the new!human race included, and act confused and outraged when people don't want to die.
Instead of, ya know, just making a fucking domed city or something. Or, ya know, LEAVING THE PLANET TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. But nah, let's just have a horribly convulted plot that will bring on the genocide of an entire SPECIES of Humanity, and the entire biosphere as well. 10/10 idea.
So yeah, Nausicaä killing the blob of old humanity (which is a gestalt consciousness of all the people who killed Earth to begin with) was probably a good thing. Because those fuckers would probably have ruined the Earth.
Much morally equivalent to inflicting humans with a slow disease that will inevitably eradicate them, in my book.
