I love post-apoc fiction and movies, but I’ll be real here, in case of an ACTUAL world-ending apocalypse, I’m killing myself. Especially in a zombie apocalypse.

Like the Starlost?

1. He was woken up by an accident. She was woken up by him, intentionally. It’s almost like you didn’t see the movie.

1. She was in cryosleep and was supposed to be in cryosleep for 90 more years, after which she would leave the ship. He took her out of cryosleep, which also meant she would die before she would be able to leave it.

He confined her on a spaceship for the rest of her life, with himself as her only other human contact. How is that not control?

It must be weird, being a person who gets inappropriately angry about things like this.

Mr Torchinsky, I want to tell you a story.

Why do you assume that? I have a lot of reprints of those very comics laying around. Not that exact story, but tons of others.

Neko seems unreasonably agitated, but I believe you because I assume you are in your 20s or 30s. Older sci fi and comic book fans like myself are immersed in EC comics and recognize the plot of “50 Girls 50" because it was one of the more seminal stories from the publisher. I believe “50 Girls 50" was even the title…

I’m a sick fuck but.... you’re kinda creepy.

The movie seems to be romanticizing a man forcing a woman to choose either abstinence or having only him as a mate, while deceiving her that it was an accident that woke her. He also forces her to give up her life’s dream of travelling to a distant planet so she can write about it. This seems to me to suggest that…

Jason, you never come off as a lying ingratiating attention whore.

I know there’s really no way to prove this, but I really do take seriously the idea of telling the truth in what I write– well, when I’m not making some stupid joke. But I really do have a copy of the book Rocketship, and it really does have a reprint of this old comic, and that is really what I thought of when I…

You don’t understand misogyny. He’s a man that decides he is going to have a woman against her own will. He is going to determine her life and death FOREVER. he does not respect her, he doesn’t care about her. He picks the prettiest woman he wants to fuck and wakes her up.

Color me shocked - jalopnik’s readership includes fedora-wearing “what if the genders were reversed” mouth breathers like this ectogamut guy.

No see I totally get that. Look, I told you I had a crazy story right? Trust me it was way crazier than hearing about some secret kids. But I mean I have secrets of my own too. Hell I’ve made a lot of mistakes, in life and relationships. I used to be a real asshole. Like I said, idk for sure the textbook definition of…

I honestly thought he was joking.

Hey rather then reply to this creep just dismiss his comments. The least we can do is keep this thread from rising to the top of the comments.

Dam so you were serious? Look I’m having a great day trust you didn’t get to me. I just...I’m confused.. I don’t think you’re really thinking about this man. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt lol.

I bet you have a lot of restraining orders placed on you by women who are genuinely terrified of you.
