  4. Oh, I'm sure there are quite a few fans of Godzilla on this board. Especially with all the Guyver fans here, Takaya did base the Mega Smashers off Godzilla's Atomic Breath after all. Hell, considering the shear number of movies made to date, I'm sure pretty much everyone has seen at least a few of them growing up. I know there are even some fans that will argue technical details

  13. That's one way to look at it but we don't really know at what level the unit interacts with the host DNA, the big question is whether it really changes anything or just maintains the status quo. . . True but this has nothing to do with biological adaptability, the unit does accesses the host brain to make decisions such as who is friend or foe during a battle and this is only compromised if the host brain is damaged such as when G1 killed Enzyme II after a chunk of his brain had been ripped out versus the time the unit vaporized the bullet that would have blow Tetsuro's brains out if it had been allowed to hit him, as shown in the new Anime series. But the unit adapts to the host biology even before it has access to the host brain during the initial bonding process and not even after the Creation of the Gigantic have we seen any changes to G1's original design or range of abilities when not using the Gigantic, apparently not giving the host unit any of the enhancements present in the Gigantic. Though this doesn't rule out adaptability, it doesn't exactly support the idea either. I believe this point of view has the most merit to consider, aging and dying as we know it is in large part how life as we know it has adapted to surviving and evolving but was not how life originally developed. Basically dealing with things like oxidation, free radicals, and other biological eroding processes that life hit upon the life cycle on how long any form of life can function before passing its genes to the next generation. Some species for example live only to mate and pass on their genes and immediately die upon completing that one goal. While others like ourselves, which also pass on knowledge, live past our reproductive cycle and well into old age. Invariably this is primarily linked to metabolism and how quickly it runs, which is why species with faster metabolisms tend to live shorter lives while species with slower metabolisms live longer. However, there are some rare exemptions to this rule, showing it is possible to extend life and the rule is really a condition that was set to optimize the passing of DNA to the next generation. But as stated the Guyver eliminates the worry of genetic degradation and that opens up possibilities. . . In terms of how this apply to the Guyver it could be as a simple part of just keeping the host healthy could eliminate the process of growing old and death. So for all intents and purpose a Guyver host could literally live forever, short of some unnatural death. But unfortunately this doesn't really tell us one way or the other on the main topic of whether the unit would allow a pregnancy. It could indeed be possible but pregnancy is such a radical change to a body that it may also just eliminate it as a perceived threat that in some respects it is to the life of the host. Since we've yet to see a host even catch a cold since bonding to a unit, we can't really say one way or the other with anything but our personal opinion, but it would be nice if it could.

  17. Edit: Ryuki, you beat me to the response... I don't think anyone is arguing that it isn't possible, just whether it is likely or not. With the Creator's level of technology virtually anything would be possible but being aliens with biology and a culture different from our it becomes a question as to whether our concerns would overlap with theirs. Your argument for example did not consider the possibility that the Creators don't need to worry about pregnancies. Species other than mammals can reproduce externally! Like fish laying eggs and fertilizing them, they still have sexes but they don't have to worry about pregnancy like mammals do. In fact we can view pregnancy as a evolutionary reaction to an aggressive ecosystem. Being a survival method that avoids the dangers of nesting and keeping your young in one place too long. Taken in the view that the Creators created us as bio-weapons could indicate such aggressive ecosystems may not be the norm for life elsewhere in the universe. There is also the possibility that the Creators genetically engineered themselves just like we are almost reaching the point of doing so. So their method of reproduction could be totally different to anything we have ever seen before in nature. I would also like to separate what we may reason is likely from what we want to be true. I think most of us will agree that it would be cool if the unit could adapt to even a pregnancy and still provide a level of ageless immortality, though I personally don't think it stops growing as much as just growing old but that's just my own personal desire of what I want the unit to be capable of. The cold logic of it though is that this may be something only a human host may ever have to deal with, the Creators could always reprogram a unit if the need arises but a human host doesn't have that level of control over their unit. Though this may change now that Agito appears to have access to the knowledge of the Creators, but prior to that not even the Gigantic really ever changed the unit as the host unit remained the same as before without the Gigantic. So there are some limits to the Guyver's range of self induced adaptability. But without further evidence we can't really say definitely whether it is possible or not, it's just that most of the possibilities lean towards it not being possible but like Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park, "No, I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way."

    I wouldn't worry too much, by the time the 2nd movie comes out they might have even more insane collectable available.
  20. True, but we have to remember Sony has lost an insane amount of money on the PS3 that they may never make up. Even the XBox 360 and its 30% failure rate is outselling the PS3 right now 2 to 1. And we do have the Wii to show how far repacking old tech into a new package can go. But nothing's certain yet, they still got a few years to finallize their plans and commit to anything.

  22. Uh, aren't we assuming they even got pregnant? Were the Creators mammals? Even if they were, such an advance race could easily just create artificial wombs. In fact the Bio-Tubes are pretty much artificial wombs, they even are filled with the same type of fluids. Just look at our own culture, as science becomes more and more a part of pregnancies and eventually will lead to genetic engineering as each parent wants a healthy baby. Eventually we won't even bother with traditional pregnancies, as already there is much research going into developing artificial wombs. Archanphel being a prime example since he was born from a Bio-Tube and never had a mother. . .
  23. Yes, balance is something many don't even consider most of the time. Take professional athletes, it's virtually impossible to have any one person capable of doing all forms of athletic activity. In fact scientists estimate it would take about 20 years doing a constant regiment more strict than any present multi-discipline athletic activity, just to get to the physical perfection needed to be good at everything. "A pentathlete must train at least 10 years -- minimum" And it is true that humans, though weaker than many other species, has far more stamina. In fact back in our hunter gatherer days we basically just out lasted anything we wanted to hunt and then killed the exhausted animal. It's just that most modern humans are pretty much lazy and nowhere near peak physical condition, so most people don't realize what a human body is really capable of. Just look at some extreme sports like Parkour (pahr-KOR), which is a combination of running, leaping, and climbing that originated more than 20 years ago in France. You see anyone jumping over a ten foot fence like they were hoping over a 3 foot fence then you probably seen someone who has played Parkour most of their life. A good movie to show just how agile they can be is the French movie District B13. There are also different types of strength, some for example have strengthened their body's to take blows that would shatter a normal persons bones, with forces equivalent to being hit by a 2 ton car at 35 MPH. While others can lift heavy masses but could never bend a steel bar and others who can just ignore pain and bend metal with their bare hands by just putting continuous pressure and the right leverage. But despite all that the human body isn't perfect. We have many inefficiencies that if corrected could indeed give us the best of both worlds. But like YoungGuyver stated we do have to be careful. Science is a bit like a loaded gun, we better know how to use it before we pull the trigger.
