Doc Manhattan: “Pssh. Child's play.

It's November 10th now. There is a circulatory system walking through the kitchen...

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

its because skeletons stick around after people die. no one saw a nervous system outside of a body until relatively recently

[–] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Relatively meaning the classical period at the latest but yes, and also it just takes way more effort to seperate soft tissue

To be completely fair, I don't think it matters. Skeleton, nervous system, fleshy muscle, organs; if it's coming at you without it first being inside a person, that's going to be a little bit scary.

You're just a skeleton, nervous system, muscles, and organs pretending to be a person by wearing a skin trench coat.

[–] Mok98@feddit.it 3 points 5 days ago

Yes, there's a dress code for me not to be immediately spooked

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The skin trench coat by itself would also be pretty terrifying, tbh. It's an ensemble outfit.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't think it's less scary if it's coming at me without first being inside a person.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Y'know, fair point. Lol

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 9 points 5 days ago

who decided

The microorganisms that consume things like flesh and nervous system but not bones I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is that some kinda remake with Finn Wolfhard or something?

Whatcha talking about? I’d fold Kyle MacLachlan in half like a cheap camping chair

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago

I think I saw that parodie movie

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Skeletons are sturdy, with no soft flesh to easily harm.

A bare walking nervous system could be debilitated with a spray bottle.

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It would be in constant agony wouldn't it? I mean it is walking on raw nerve, that can't be comfortable.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Basically Carl Brutananadilewski made of eyes.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago

The nervous system is squishy and very fragile, though. Very easy to defend yourself from.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Do not play Discover My Body then lol

[–] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Ya kno', that kinda looks like one of them angel depictions, sorta kinda.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Another life S01E03. Alien virus causes a nervous system to crawl out of it's own body

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Black death and associated social changes.

Can an art history major chime in here?

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Would you be scared of Calista Flockheart?
