Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
When a fissure in the asteroid expels a forceful plume of gas that pushes Jon Favreau up and back, so quickly that he flies off the ground and begins to float away. The idea of just floating, with no control over your course or speed, unable to see what you are heading toward, watching solid ground fade into the distance, and just waiting to die, still terrifies. The only saving grace is that the sun, when it rises, will most likely kill him--though first he'll have to watch it rise, until it is bright enough to blind him, and then he'll cook relatively slowly, rather than be immediately vaporized.
Yes, definitely. I love over-the-top disaster movies and seeing cities utterly destroyed is just mindless fun--but his fate in that movie horrified me.
Are you sure? Don't you think he'd die of starvation and dehydration long before that happens?
I'll be honest; seeing that meteorite crash into the Earth and HUGE MEGATSUNAMIS destroying everything scared the utter hell out of me when I was younger, and to this day I'm still paranoid about possible catastrophic meteorite impacts.
See, the most horrifying aspect of this (to me, at least) was wondering how long he would wait before taking the Tim Robbins from Mission to Mars option and removing his own helmet and dying from exposure to the vacuum of space.
