  • While I completely agree, I’ll do the apologist thing in case it helps anyone enjoy the film (or just sleep better).

    spoilers for Signs (2002), of course
    • The aliens are actually demons or vampires
    • the water is holy water, either due to the ex-minister praying over his daughter, out of old habits, or due to some act of the angel of her dead mother

    It’s weak, but I guess it’s more reasonable than “space faring aliens visit poison world for giggles”.

    I also like to allow for the aliens just being really stupidly desperate for some untold reason. But I’ll admit it’s a stretch to help me enjoy the film.


  • That’s delightful.

    I imagine his origin story, as an alley cat talking to another alley cat:

    “Those house cats have it so nice. I wish I could have that.”

    “Bro. Just pick a human. They’re push-overs.”

    “Seriously?”

    “Yeah. You just wait for their door to open and then pick your spot in the couch.”

    “That easy?!”

    “It’s that easy.”

    “I’m gonna do it.”

    Yeah. It’s interesting how Spidey banter-like her speech is.

    That said, I’m not entirely sure whether this is due to of MJ trying to be like Spider-Man, Spider-Man trying to be like MJ, or lack of range on the part of the writers.

    I recall that Spider-Man’s banter does pre-date MJ’s introduction, if not by much.

    I think that. After a bunch of failed Spider-Man girlfriends, they wanted someone who more clearly fits with Spider-Man’s life, and wanted her to make a strong impact for fans - so she’s a bit over-written.
