Were there ever times when, after watching a movie or show, you realize there was something that was left unanswered? For example:
WALL*E- It was a great movie and I loved it, but days after watching it, I realized something. Whatever happened to the other humans? After all, the Axiom wasn't the only ship to leave Earth, there were many others. Did those people ever return to Earth? Or did they continue to stay in space forever? This could have been answered in the credits, but I left before those ended. :shrug:

Better question: if all those people spent their entire lives on a spaceship with a constantly regulated temperature and atmosphere and were always free of any type of contaminant I really doubt they would have been able to simply step off the Axion onto a world covered in garbage for centuries where little to no major photosynthesis was present, which would no doubt result in a severe lack of breathable oxygen. I'm shocked they all didn't drop dead mere minutes into stepping off the ship. I'm also curious where the babies aboard the ship came from, considering how hard they tried to show that the humans had no physical contact or any kind. Unmentioned artifcial insemination to keep the human race going perhaps?
These questions hit me the second time I saw the film, but do nothing to hinder my enjoyment of it.

In one of the Fleischer shorts, he DID. The two were fighting over Nurse Olive, and Popeye forced the spinach down Bluto's throat, the resulting brusing landing Popeye in Olive's care.

Actually Jenny's dad called Winston and told him they'd be back the next day after the final scene.

Yes,in fact.They're called loose ends.
I'm still wanting to know how Jake and Rose will see each other after HKLs.

Next time could you make the thread title match what you're talking about please? I was almost spoiled on a movie I haven't seen yet. Not a demand, just a suggestion.
Sorry about that. :shrug:

No kidding. Whoa, the discussion over there has more layers than a Spanish onion. Easy to get sucked in. I better watch it when I visit there or there goes my vacation! :p

RE: Wall-E...
Buy n Large CEO. Based on the logo on his podium, did he end up as World President or something?
And didn't the ships get filled with BnL customers? What happened to those too poor to use BnL?:sad:

This could have been answered in the credits, but I left before those ended. What I want to know is, did each nation have its own Axioms? Because unless global politics radically improved in the 2100s (or unless they put differences aside to survive), I highly doubt certain nations would want to be on the same ship with their sworn enemies.
I'm also curious where the babies aboard the ship came from, considering how hard they tried to show that the humans had no physical contact or any kind. Unmentioned artifcial insemination to keep the human race going perhaps? I thought of the same thing. :ack: I can't imagine these humans physically mating with each other. I just can't. Especially since centuries of sedentary lifestyles would make it practically impossible for them to have enough energy for... that.

I'm pretty sure they said that the Buy N Large CEO was the "Global" president. The implication was that mass consumerism was going to accomplish what centuries of war and diplomacy haven't in uniting the entire world under one banner right before burying it in piles of junk nobody needed.
Given the way globalization is rolling out, I can't say that they're completely wrong on that, either.
I thought of the same thing. :ack: I can't imagine these humans physically mating with each other. I just can't. Especially since centuries of sedentary lifestyles would make it practically impossible for them to have enough energy for... that.
Well, the people would do whatever the machines and video screens told them to without thinking too hard about it. Plus, the John Ratzenberger and Kathy Najimy characters were engaging in what certainly looked like good old-fashioned courtship rituals once they turned off their video screens.
...
You know what? Artificial insemination. And cloning. That's where the babies came from. Yeah. Move along, nothing to see here ;) :D.

From what I know, BnL became THE RULERS OF THE WORLD! :evil: . But I think there was only one Axiom. :shrug:
