Last weekend we conducted 4chan PMQ/Q&A #3, with 1400 people contributing 4500 posts over 22 hours. I managed to spend the better part of a day answering as many questions as possible—thread here.
Since loading large threads can be a bit of a pain on slower computers, you can also see my replies from the /q/ index (hover over the "Administrator Replies" quotelinks).

Thanks to everyone who asked questions and participated!

I think he's just quoting Avatar or something. OP can't actually write for shit.

If he were to actually come up with a plot it'd probably be about little girls dueling with their gigantic penises in space.

They been there for weeks now are you still telling me that chamber has been unable to map the entire planet yet?

How can Chamber Survive all the water Pressure underneath?

And this will Blow your mind.

Hideauze = Hideous

Avatar is a good movie. If people take inspiration from it then it means it is good and popular.

No, it isn't. It could have been good but Cameron had to pay the CGI bill.

Avatar xenophobic banter?

Here is the respond from your dear Gargantian.
>>
They have the moral high ground though.

Humans have deluded themselves they have a higher purpose in their existence. Conquering the stars? Progress? Delusions. What progress lies in a future where even your most basic right of procreation is limited, where you are nothing more than a cog in a terrible faceless machine? Mankind on Earth has learned, or to be precise their ignorance allows them to see a much clearer picture of their life and thus construct a society that is vastly superior to what those who left that world.
What would a man pick? To be a part of the natural order of things, to take his role in the universe, or become a cog in artificial monstrosity, doomed to collapse for it is an abomination in the eyes of nature itself? There is only one answer for those who are human.
>>
Ledo looks so much better with a tan.
>>
>>86042792
You ever thought that maybe the "villain" is more relatable and makes sense and that's why so many people support the "villain"?

Just for the record, he doesn't say that in Avatar, it's a fan-made speech, it's actually mocking Avatar if anything since the movie portrays the Na'Vi as being amazing and pure and shit because they love nature while humans are big-bad corporate guys.
>>
>>86042792
>The same kind of people think Ledo is right as well.
in case of Ledo vs Gargantia, it's boils down to bad communication.
They didn't try to understand each other circumstances, leading to many fuckup which mostly avoidable.

You don't have the apparent intelligence to make a determination like that, and you're also incorrect.

From where did you get your fucking data, you fucking moron.
>>
>>86043033
that isn't even a good response.

above their tomb, humanity will still rule the stars.you know what they say, who laughes last..
>>
>>86043322
No data, just a presumption. Both the humans in Avatar and Ledo are both from technologically superior civilizations that have come to a another society thinking they have some moral duty to mine whatever shit they want/kill a bunch of squids that MIGHT be related to an all destroying alien race.
>>
>>86043043

>moral high ground

That does a fat lot of good when you are scared of space squids and hiding from them is all you can do. The people of Gargantia are subservient to the whims of some squids, how noble. The Hideauze don't care about Garngantia, because the Gargantians don't have any way to stop them. Once one of the human groups starts to be able to pose a threat to the Hideauze, you can bet that they will start exterminating all the humans.

So, morally "correct" squid food or human supremacy, that's your choice.

Yeah, 100% DNA match says you're wrong. Also, from the dialog one of the characters seems pissed at the squids for the death of his brother. They don't seem are that friendly to me.
>>
>>86043695
If the squids are as dangerous as you say, then why do the Earthlings worship them?

Why did early humans worship floods and fire and natural disasters that were out of their control?
>>
>>86043462
>99.7% similar in DNA Make-up
>The human genome is made up of 3 billion DNA bases (A, T, C and G). This makes up a human. 99.7% bases are the same across humans. The remaining 0.3%, together with environmental factors, explains why no two humans on earth are the same. Of those 3 billion bases, there are about one million that vary across humans at a significant frequency.

Production I.G has done its homework.
>>
>>86043865
because they are afraid of their cephalopodian overlords
>>
>>86043968
They seemed to be fine before Ledo got one angry, killed it, and made the rest of them pissed off as a result. If they were as dangerous as you say they were, humans would have been talking about them all the time. They probably would have been wiped out long ago as well.
>>
>>86043925

Chamber talks about needing more time to complete his parallax measurements in order to figure out where they are.

Stellar parallax is how we currently measure the distance between earth and other stellar bodies, like stars and planets. Pretty legit.
>>
Ledo should make them worship HIM.
>>
>>86044061
Humans by nature don't worship those who do not hold greater power than they do. The squids may be docile currently, but whether that is because they are inherently peaceful or because the humans have done nothing to attract their ire is another thing altogether.
>>
>>86044061
>killed it, and made the rest of them pissed off as a result.
it's pure coincidence, remember: correlation does not imply causation.

>>86044110
how long does it take to measure? 6 month?

If Gargantia had more of the dialogue from OP's image it would be AOTY.

I wish I knew how you could take such a good idea and present it so horribly.
>>
>>86044061
did you watch this episode?
did you catch the explanation it provided?
>>
>>86044136

I wanted Ledo to order Chamber to vaporize those idiot Gargantian's guns, and go on a squid killing spree to spite them. I guess now that a large chunk of the fleet is on his side now, I'm thinking he should get promoted to chief pimp of his new fleet.
>>

I am sure the reason why nobody tries to loot all them squid hunting grounds is because they are all deeply religious people, who don't want to disturb such sacred places and has nothing to do with the deadly creatures that are inhabiting those areas.

They aren't looting them just because the entire fleet would be wiped out in several minutes if the Hideauze got angry.

Why do you take Ledo seriously anyway? He was brainwashed since the day he was born to live a life completely dedicated to killing space squids, space squids of which we the viewers have no real understanding of. This is a guy who had memories of his incinerated kid brother (who he clearly loved) wiped away. This is a guy who has no clear goals or aspirations beyond killing squids (the previous episodes made that very clear). I can't wait to drink you senmetsufags tears when you get proven wrong with each new episode.
>>
God damn it, Gargantia threads all turned shit thanks to these new spawned edgyfags hipsters who wants everything to be grimdark so they can feel like they're off the mainstream.

Ledo was an idiot to think that one mech of his is good enough to kill thousands if not tens of thousand squids. Gargantians took the right course of action in stopping him, as he starting a fight with the squids would also mean doom for the fleet. Hell, Ridget event told him that he's welcomed to fuck shit up if the squids attack the fleet first, and that sounds hella reasonable to me.

It doesn't matter if the Gargantians like or hate the squids, they're simply in no position to start a war that has no chance of victory.
>>
>>86045331
To be fair, the last person who underestimated Chamber's abilities ended up being hurled several miles
>>
>>86043033
>we do not simply shared the mutual

gargantian education at its finest
>>
>>86045331
Except he had just told Amy he was going to fuck off and fight his war away from the fleet.
>>
>>86045430
To be fair, the last people who underestimated the squids got their space fleet more or less wiped out.
>>
>>86045567
The more the reason to address the ika musume problem asap.
>>
>>86043910

...they didn't.

I think there might be some destruction-type dogs who were offered appeasement, but that's not the same as worship.
>>
>>86045533
Which would be suicide, and obviously Amy doesn't want that. While Ridget just don't want any more unforseen shits to happen.

And who knows if him taking off from the fleet that's trying to be completely silent won't draw the squids into attacking the fleet as well.
>>
>>86045331

With Ledo basically taking enough of the fleet with him to leave whats left of Gargantia vulnerable to attack, I think that heart-attack grandpa and Ridget will have to get with the program or shut up. People want ancient lost technology and revenge more than crying about squid noticing you.
>>
>>86045580
Again, HOW? With ONE mech? After we've seem them taking out an entire fleet with hundreds of the same mech and more powerful mechs just a few episode earlier?
