I did not feel sorry for the people on earth. Sharlto Copely was the good guy and not the bad one.

Beyond being batshit insane, his plan was kind of stupid.

Within fifty or so years, that halved population will have doubled and things will be right back where they were.

IMO Moe Greene wasn’t right, he got what he deserved.



He slapped around Fredo in public after the Corleone family bankrolled his casino. No respect.

Shithead let’s the DON take 6 slugs to the body, gets put in a cushy job because of his last name and proceeds to smash cocktail waitresses two at a time and plot to backstab Michael because he’s a Beta.

The population of Earth will have doubled within fifty to sixty years (hit 4 billion around 1974, currently around 7.6 billion) so if other civilizations had similar patterns, then yes.

He didn't reduce the size of the universe, just the population.

Sure, there's a limit to that doubling (the Earth can't sustain a population of 20 billion) but the Universe should be able to get back to its previous population numbers in short order.

Ozymandias saved the world from itself. Sure he killed tens of millions to do it, but it was to save billions.

Based on that formula. Imagine if he didn’t cut the population. Compare the two scenarios after 200 years of doubling every 50.

This absolutely, especially if you include the EU and Thrawns plan to use the Empire to stop the Yuzhan Vong.

He is not the main "antagonist", but be came a villian. I do not blame him because "Ignorance is bliss!"

So what you are really saying is the antagonist is Fredo. I can see that.

The actual antagonist of Jurassic Park isn't the T-Rex but the raptors.

Hell no. The dude lied to investigators, committed perjury on the witness stand, falsified official documents to cover up what had happened, and helped bring about the deaths of Pvt. Santiago and Lt. Colonel Markinson. He lacks honor and is the antithesis of integrity. His self-righteous speech at the end of the film, while powerfully delivered, is just that - self-righteous. It's also egotistical, twisted, and completely wrong.
