So, uh ... why was there an axe on the spaceship again?

Space-axes are crucial.

Why was there fucking gravity? That's a better question.

It's obviously to break through stuff. Why WOULDN'T you have an axe? That's a much better question.

I don't know, maybe because if the power is out, axes are good fucking tools.

What are you going to break through on a vacuumproof spaceship? The hull?
>>
>>67188803
to block the spacewood to fuel the furnace that powers the engine

fuck, anon, do you have no idea how spaceships work?
>>
>>67189066
I was more confused that people were confused about the axe. It just seemed like something that would stand the test of time. It's just a very useful thing to have.

Asking why a spaceship would have an axe is about as stupid as somebody asking why banks have human tellers when ATMs exist.
Electronics break.
>>
>>67189270
My dad is married to Sigourney Weaver. So you're probably right.
>>
>>67189276
A door? ? Some kind of power box? Some material you wouldnt be able to break though otherwise? Or you could, ya know, use it as a fucking weapon.

i know this meme is based on autism but it really fucking bothers me that it's a kind of half-assed autism that fails to ever consider the half-million dollar grand piano, crystal chandelier, and vintage book collection present on the very same spaceship. when you think about that other shit the fucking axe starts to make a lot of sense.
>>
>>67189359
This. Could also be good for cutting tangled wires that are effectively useless. Or could be used when touched down on a planet full of material that can or should be cut down.
>>
It being a manual tool is not the problem. Explain what exactly you would use a fire axe for on a spaceship that would not be easier with a sledge hammer.
>>
>>67189408
>that whole part of the ship was a giant escape pod
>nothing was bolted down or securely placed

that annoyed the fuck out of me, made no sense
>>
>>67189444
cutting a power line to something that is catastrophically malfunctioning
>>
>>67189444
Something that would require upward force.
>>
>>67189408
All of those things make the crew more comfortable, how exactly do they justify a fireaxe?
>>
>>67189480
Magnets?

Or did they move around during the movie?
>>
>>67189494
This would be done at a breaker box, not with an axe...
>>
>>67189538
They show that escape pod crash and we see the inside of it later on with all the furniture and shit thrown about
>>
>>67189507
>up

>>
>>67189444
A hammer is blunt, and only blunt. Axes are basically two in one. It can work as a bashing tool or a cutting tool, depending on the situation and which side you use.
>>
>>67189596
Been way too long since I've seen it.
It is a pretty dumb move considering it was an escape pod. The books being all over the place would be one thing, but pianos are delicate motherfuckers.
>>
>>67189533
Maybe a fireaxe makes some of them more comfortable.
>>
>>67189621
>I've never heard of artificial gravity

There's no such thing?

>>67189066

>>
>>67189593
And what if the breaker box is locked and you don't have immediate access to the key? Are you gonna tear it open with your fingernails?
>>
>>67189444
protip: axes only have a sharp edge on one side
>>
>many valid points are made for the validity of a fireaxe on a space ship
>people willfully ignore those points or disregard them without a second thought and pretend it's still useless

Of all of the controversies in Prometheus, I didn't even have the axe on the list. Thick cords can't cut themselves.
>>
Should have just had a Katana on-board of you wanted to cut through stuff.

>>67189862
This is the case with all movies. Look at some scifi stuff from the 80s or 90s. They have all this rwally advaned tech yet they're still using fat SDTV screens and brick mobile phones.

The lesson here? Never try and predict the future, because the real future will be WAY more advanced. Still no hoverboards though.
>>

more like don't name dates, that's something sci fi writers figured out ages ago

You use it when the abortion machine breaks down.

>>67190010
Well they didn't, did they? Almost all sci-fi movies name dates. Back to Future 2 is a good example of this.

>Flying cars
>Hover boards
>Shoes with NO LACES!

Fuck you, Zemeckis.
>>
>>67190108
pretty sure they did in aliens, so alien would be early 2100's

>>67189741
>Implying you'd be cutting through the hull
There's other shit you might have to cut like debris
>>
>>67190144
>Intersteller space travel in 69 years

Not a chance. Alien is set in 2087.
>>
>>67190157
anything not bolted down doesnt require cutting
if bolted down pillars goes flying that part of your ship isnt gonna be part of your ship anymore
>>
>>67188803

After you take a fat ogre shit you need a space axe to cut the log into manageable pieces.
>>
>>67190314
>Oh shit all this non bolted in machinery flew everywhere and now I can't get through this walk way to turn on auxiliary power
>Good thing an axe isn't useful in this situation
>>
>>67191147
>none bolted machinery

have you never not been not on a on an airplane before?
>>
>>67191207
This ship is a lot larger than an airplane.

What about vacuums. What about random shit that's around like computers?

You look at the ISS there's a ton of shit just floating around up there. Most of it's lightweight but still.
