Literally, in this case.

I just saw that movie 9 yesterday. (No clue what those critics were talking about; I thought it rocked.) And anyway, after watching it, I had some odd and somewhat horrifying thoughts that I thought I might bring up for the sake of discussion. A fandom sprung up around WALL-E. The very same will probably happen with 9. And we all know; with a fandom, comes badfic. To make matters oh so much worse, two of the characters (3 and 4), are TWINS. Moreover, they are ADORABLE. And inseparable. And they are 3 and 4. As in, Rule 34 (sick director's joke or odd coincidence, I wonder?). Do you all see what I'm getting at here?

Still more horrifying is the point I'm getting to. If badfic is to spring up, well, how exactly does one do a mission in a universe where all life on earth has been wiped out, and the number of living, sentient creatures is so specific, it's actually the title? I suppose a possible disguise would be those spider-robot mook things, but then again, they don't appear until very late in the movie, and they're all wiped out by the end.

Needless to say, I have prepared my panic room.

Your thoughts? Just curious.
