Calvin's Weakness, Three Solutions

Many people have said that the plot is flawed, or that the five idiots in space have gone offline. . . We might as well analyze Calvin, the Martian monster's behavior patterns and skill weaknesses.

1. Calvin is looking for water and oxygen. In terms of motivation, it does not know the existence of the earth, so it is impossible to have the purpose of coming to the earth. Great, this opens up the possibility of trapping Calvin.

2. The functional limitation of LaVine is that it cannot break the isolation equipment such as metal. That is to say, the escape warehouse, or any airtight metal container or warehouse, can lock Calvin.

3. Calvin's wisdom has not yet learned human language. Will not use complex mechanical and electronic devices "The escape chamber returned to Earth in the later stage, I think it was an accidental result of the collision of the two escape chambers in the plot"

Based on these 3 points alone, it is completely possible to catch Calvin in the plot. . For example, the whole warehouse is deoxygenated. Then use oxygen or water to set traps in an escape chamber. Even sacrificing one person and trapping Calvin in the warehouse. Then try to restore communication and ask for Earth's support. Think of the isolation bin as a container. After all, Calvin is a carbon-based creature that needs to consume oxygen and water. If it is locked in a confined space, it can be trapped and put into suspended animation.

If the screenwriter is a little more extreme, adding two skills to Calvin, human or earth, it will be completely useless.

One, allowing Calvin to obtain information from the brain of the deceased while killing a person, so as to know the existence of the earth, his IQ is also quickly online, learn to operate electronic equipment, and speak of returning to the earth as his highest survival purpose.

Second, Calvin was cultivated from a single cell, which means that it can fully reproduce itself. In the corpse of the astronaut, as long as it leaves one cell, countless Calvins can be reproduced.

If the above two skills are turned on, the earth will be out of play.
