Mystique's DNA Sentinels vs Gort

LOL. The burden of proof is on you to prove your ridiculous No-limits fallacy adaption claim.

Robotic Technology. Not Mutant Organism. Genetically organized could just mean it was built with the complexity of genomes. Not that it is biologically genetic. And they're obviously robots since an EMP took them out. You should re watch the new TDTESS as well as DOFP.

The bullshit no limits fallacy you're spouting is stupidity personified.


How the heck did I prove your point? They adapted in accordance to what was best suited for taking down a particular adversary. Trying to misconstrue my post isn't gaining you any brownie points.

WTF are you ranting on about now? Their adaption abilities were both mentioned and shown onscreen.

Genetically organized.😂 In fiction genetics are almost always biological in nature.

You're acting like you're on acid now. Calm down, get your head together, and then we'll continue this discussion in a more serious tone.

They never adapted to anything other then mutants, hence why they were created and upgraded with her gene.

They cannot adapt to robots, or develop EMP.

Didn't we do this here and Ep made the thread and said Gort won?

Opinions can change, mon ami. Mine certainly has after rewatching the Reeves remake.

Anyways, since this is a dupe thread; reported.

It really doesn't. The 60s version of the X-Jet was far more advanced than anything the US military had in the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

They adapted using MUTANT POWERS THEY COPIED. Not powers they pulled out of their ass. Rewatch the film.

They were designed to adapt to mutants and now you are saying they can adapt to extraterrestrial weaponry. Show me screenfeats or dialogue saying they can adapt to things other than mutants.

Genetically Organized Robotic Technology: robotic technology that is organized in the structure of a genome. Pretty simple to understand. WTF are you even arguing? It's clearly not a carbon based lifeform like Earth's life, so what exactly are you arguing that it is?

Sorry the remake sucked. As Plinkett said, kids are a kiss of death for a mature film. GORT wins handidly though.

Yeah no. The exploding Xjet was not more powerful than this:

Based on Mystique's shapeshifting powers. Which last I checked weren't limited to duplicating mutants.

It's a good thing then that mutant powers include the ability to produce EMPs.👆

It is precisely because I rewatched both films that I am giving them the win against GORT now.

It was never specified that their adaption capability was limited to mutants alone. You might as well argue that the regular, run of the mill Sentinel was designed to fight mutants, so it can only battle mutants in a forum fight. Doesn't work like that.

Especially when we take into account the fact that the source of their adaption ability(Mystique's cells), aren't limited to copying mutants alone.

I'll indulge your negative-proof-fallacy the moment you go ahead and prove that their adaption ability is limited strictly to mutants.

That's a definition you pulled out of your ass. I can easily claim that it means robotic technology organized from previously existing genetic material and there isn't a goddamned thing you can do to disprove my claim.

Considering that its nanobots were able to replicate by consuming pure carbon and carbon compounds, I'd say you definitely need to rewatch the film before spouting more nonsense in this thread.

I don't care if it sucked. GORT has a shitty weakness which the Sentinels can easily exploit for a quick win in this thread. Sentinels win.

So that's one XL No Limits Fallacy with a side order of Burden of Proof Shifting.

I haven't see the new X-men movie yet, but it seems that Mystique changes appearance, not powers or what she is made of. So already there is a lot of nonsense going on with these sentinels. And even accepting that, I wouldn't go so far to think they could copy Gort.

After getting Mystique blood, they are able to copy mutant powers. It's just like the Kitty having mental time travel thing. You just have to go with it.

It was directly stated that with Mystique's DNA, they could adapt to any mutant threat wasn't it? So...that's pretty much been proven. It only works on mutants, considering mutants and humans are the only thing that inhabit the world. And they wouldn't need to adapt to humans since their normal weapons work fine on them.

Also Magneto has never generated an EMP in the X-Men movies to my knowledge. He's strictly magnetism as in manipulating metal. He doesn't have any control over the EM spectrum like comic and cartoon Magneto. That's why he couldn't make forcefields or anything like that.

Your ad hominem is duly noted and tossed in the trash where it belongs.

IIRC, when Wolverine stabbed her in the first film, she briefly shifted form to Storm, and almost caused a miniature storm, before reverting back to her natural state.

Anyways, when Beast analyzed her cells, he observed that they changed at a genetic level.

IIRC, it was implied in Last Stand that he could, based on how he was compared powerwise to Phoenix-Jean.

That's not ad hominem. That's exactly WTF you are doing in this thread. I know nothing about you besides that your an atheist. How the hell am I going to make an ad hominem attack?

How was it implied?

No, that is exactly what it is. Silly goose, you don't need to know any of my personal details in order to construct an ad hominem.

Anyways, almost every single point of yours, from the Sentinels non-existent mutants-only limitation to GORT being non-carbon based has been disproved via onscreen evidence. You're pretty much done at this point. No point in trying to play a last word game with me, because you can't win it.

When a mutant claims that she detected an EMP, more powerful than anything she's detected before. More powerful than Magneto himself.

Implying that he could, at least in theory replicate a somewhat weaker version of her EMP.

When?

Epidural has changed his stance. I said it the entire time, kiddo.

What do you mean when? When did the movie say that their powers were only limited to mutants? If that's your question, my answer is; never.

Then that's a no limits fallacy and the burden of proof is on you to secure it. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I am not committing a negative proof fallacy. I am basing my decision that they were built for the sole purpose of adapting to and killing mutants. There would obviously be no reason for them to be designed to adapt to anything else. you committing a blatant no limits fallacy by stating they have power beyond that, and the burden of proof is on you to show it.

Come back with screenfeats proving they can adapt to things besides mutants, or don't come back at all, fool.

Are you talking about when Callisto who could sense mutants said she sensed someone more powerful than Magneto? She categorized them from one to five, Magneto was a four I think, Phoenix was a five, that's why they went to get her. I don't recall her saying anything about an EMP.
