And I'm glad it's cancelled. It's a TERRIBLE show, in fact possibly the worst I've ever seen.

No, it's not because of the hack writing, various inconsistencies, childish dialogue, etc. That stuff I could overlook. Even the idea of the robot itself is so stupid (seriously? All your powers combined? Is this a crappy anime?) but could be excused as well.

No, the problem with this show is the HORRIFIC MORAL: that it is OKAY to endanger an entire planet of people for your own purposes. How did this ever get greenlit!?

Galaluna is more important to them so it's a higher priority.
If the show had gone on I'm sure they would have done an episode or arc of Ilana being all weepy about a crushed orphanage and trying to hide on some moon instead, but it would be shown to be completely unrealistic.

The show was unsalvageable. They could have done an entire season about it and it still wouldn't have changed the fact that the army and G3 were right, they were the real monsters to be destroyed at all costs if they refused to leave. Cancellation was the only option.

It is stated by Octus that without access to a Rift Gate getting back to Galaluna would be nearly impossible. And even if they did nothing would stop Modula from sending more monsters to Earth. So they can't leave, which leaves them with two options, stick to the original plan and wait for the King to regain control of the Rift Gate and send for them, or build their own Rift Gate on Earth.Lance's dad has probably already started doing that at G3.

They could have gone the Megas route and had jokes about the buildings being empty (and later rebuilt), or found some way to have the monsters always land in empty areas, or even had the characters go into horrified shock after the first episode and MAKE the monsters never appear in the city again somehow. They didn't do ANY of that because the writers are not only hacks (which was demonstrated with the various other failings of the show as mentioned in the OP) but also cruel and callous. We all know "it's only a cartoon", that doesn't excuse it.

The fact is that none of these shitty attempted justifications matter. They MUST do everything possible to leave Earth and settle somewhere else.

They have a DUTY, an OBLIGATION to protect innocents above and beyond even the inhabitants of their own planet. They are essentially committing a war crime by not doing so.

Messages? No, I'm talking about basic morality outside the context of the show.

>>92827573
>They have a DUTY, an OBLIGATION to protect innocents above and beyond even the inhabitants of their own planet.
But the people on their planet are also innocent? And there is no other inhabitable planet for thousands of miles in space? And if they die they're (innocent" planet loses it's last hope. Therefore, by staying on Earth, they are protecting innocents.
>>
>>92827734
>And there is no other inhabitable planet for thousands of miles in space?
You just don't get it - THIS IS NOT EARTH'S FUCKING PROBLEM. They have NO FUCKING RIGHT to risk countless lives because they need a hiding spot!

But you aren't proposing another solution. Do you really think the people of earth would be so hearltess as to doom an entire planet to protect our own? Should we eject the whole group, who have defended us many times before, on the vague pretense of security? And by extension leave us open to being conquered by the same threat they are running from? You don't seem to be thinking this through.
>>
>>92827573
As it has been said in another post above, they cannot just leave Earth M'dulla wpuld not be aware and he would still send monsters after them. They defend Earth because they have an obligation too because of these great words that could be lost. "With great power comes great responsibility", if you can't understand what I'm getting at with that then please go read a book.

So they can't find a planet with SOME amount of resources that doesn't have billions of nearly helpless inhabitants? If that's REALLY the case they can surely think of some way to get the food, even coming back to Earth occasionally to replenish their supplies is a possibility.
>Monsters will keep attacking Earth anyway
I already addressed this, they could simply make their signals obvious (as they did in the early episodes) so the monsters would follow them to a different planet. Eventually it would be clear they've moved permanently.
>Would literally be pointless and they would starve to death
See point #3. And pointless? Undergoing some hardship to potentially save BILLIONS is pointless? Wow.

>I already addressed this, they could simply make their signals obvious (as they did in the early episodes) so the monsters would follow them to a different planet.
Two major problems. 1. How do you know Earth wouldn't just be invaded anyways? If a despotic tyrant is chasing them it only makes sense that he'd be trying to take Earth too. So by leaving they would be making it much more vulnerable.
2. If they went to another planet that could support life they would be putting the people there in danger too.

You do realize these are aliens we're talking about, along with a functionally magical robot?

And the guy chasing them CLEARLY doesn't give a shit about Earth, to the point that after all those failures he doesn't bother going after them himself for some reason!

Those are some HUGE assumptions you're making there.

>You do realize these are aliens we're talking about, along with a functionally magical robot?

NOW you're arguing about muh realism? Dude, you have been overthinking this entire series for the past twelve posts. You also seem very uneducated about Space. From what we know about the distance between planets. They would die of old age well before they reached home.
>And the guy chasing them CLEARLY doesn't give a shit about Earth, to the point that after all those failures he doesn't bother going after them himself for some reason!

Because he doesn't have a fleet of ships. Just a bunch of monsters. Even then he needs the GATE. Without the GATE no one can get anywhere. Since Lance and Ilanna don't have a GATE they cannot leave Earth.

First off, do you not realize how stupid this is?
Second, assuming you mean long-distance travel, where is the evidence that it's NOT possible? Because they travelled pretty fucking far when they needed to. What are the limits?
Third, they could go to the Moon or Mars or ANYWHERE that isn't Earth basically, and set up an closed atmosphere for themselves, perhaps with Octus' help. Yeah, they might go insane from the isolation, but it's infinitely preferable to PUTTING BILLIONS OF LIVES IN DANGER!

If Titan Left earth, Modula would have a planet with defences much weaker than Luna full of water, minerals and labor to take.

I await your next goalpost shift, op.

How about this: You're a brainlet who's trying way too hard to look smart by over-analyzing a children's cartoon about giant anime robots that mash things, and going so hard that you swing right back around to sounding like a fucking spastic.

They won't leave Earth because in the show they specify that they can't return home. Doesn't need to be explained further. By the logic of the show, they're stuck their until they get another rift gate.

>B-BUT WHY DON'T THEY RELOCATE TO ANOTHER PLANET

Because never is it specified outright that Titan is even capable of that. And even if it were, maybe they don't have the resources to survive on another planet. (Which is why they chose Earth in the first place, it's habitable.)

They defend Earth from the monsters to lessen the amount of collateral damage from those monsters hunting them down, but there's no way for them to 100% avoid it. If left unchecked, even one of Modula's creatures would decimate earth. They feel bad about it, but it's out of their control. It's not like they endorse wrecking the city every other week.

But even then, it's just a cartoon nigga. They're on Earth because "refugee aliens hiding on earth" is the premise. There doesn't need to be a moral debate over it, that's just the hand the characters were dealt. Them trying to live with it is what creates the conflict in the show, and their actions do have direct consequences later in the show's run. Not every character in every show needs to be "right", if anything having flawed protagonists with questionable ethics and motivations is more interesting than them just being straight up "good guys protecting earth from bad guys".

That shades of gray dynamic and their relationship with the people of Earth, who they're both responsible for harming and the saviors of, IS the show.

The fuck are you talking about? Lance and Ilana had no idea where they were going. The king put them on a fucking ship and blasted them into a portal before either could say a word edgewise. And even after arriving, they always tried to avoid doing serious damage, just look at the one where they're forced to fight near their home and just barely avoid face planting onto a kid playing in a pool.
>>
>>92825234
Nigga, they would still be FOLLOWED because Modula is tracking them. Where else could they that they could live on when not fighting?
>>
>>92829274
You can justify it all you want, I don't care about their motivations. They have no right to use Earth in that way regardless of the consequences for their own planet. Period.

Yeah, that's the POINT you fucking dingus. There doesn't need to be any other arguments or explanations.

I know the insult might be "overused", but I think you might be LEGITIMATELY autistic if you can't identify character struggles if they're not morally in the right. Them being on Earth is detrimental to everyone else on the planet who is caught in the crossfire, but they don't have any other options so they deal with the consequences. (By fighting the monsters and trying to lessen the loss of life at their hand.)

That IS the show, but clearly that went over your head.

WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE if there was no other option. Fucking shit, has everyone on /co/ lost it? DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAR CRIMES MEAN?
>>
>>92829912
1) Their homeworld was being INVADED. Pretty sure not even the king had the foresight to set them up with a goddamn Power Rangers secret base on some empty planet.

2)Mutradi are clearly more dangerous than whatever G3 has probably been up against, and we can assume Steele has had run-ins with other aliens given how well acquainted he is with Solomon.

3)You're seriously missing the whole point of why they were sent to earth; to be able to hide and not be easily found if they were alone elsewhere.
>>
>>92829897

Yeah, OP is officially shitposting if he's trying convince anyone that he's proven anyone wrong by going "NUH UH" and "WHY COULDNT THEY DO THIS?" to every reasonable counter argument to gis idiocy. Move on, nothing to see here.

Your main argument has been that they can't stay on Earth because it brings danger to the populace. Others have responded that it was impossible to leave, as mentioned in the show. You responded that they could use Titan to travel to a different planet. Everyone else said that it couldn't and you needed a gate to travel long distances through space. You claimed that it was just a cartoon and they should be able to travel through space despite the show making it very. very clear they can't. You haven't won jack shit nigger. All you've done is dodge questions and act undeservedly smug and the worst part is I actually think you believe this shit.
>>
>>92830420
Sorry guys, I'm gonna humor this one.

If Modula had sent some sort of ambassador or any form of communication to the earth governments in some shape or form, demanding they hand them over, then you might have a point.

he does not do that, though. IF HE DID, you would have a point.

No negotiation, no ultimatums, no warning. He just flat out goes right through the earth to get to what he wants.

If even a bit of that was in the show, you would have an argument.

>>92830643
>despite the show making it very. very clear they can't.
No, I SPECIFICALLY pointed out the show had them travelling through space multiple times. The other idiot started an argument over HOW FAR they could go, which is just retarded to discuss in a cartoon like this - if they're in space, they should be able to go anywhere that doesn't require some special tech like that gate, i.e. everywhere in the Earth's "universe" (not sure what the in-show term is).
>>

This is literally the definition of a valid argument. You can't just dismiss it out of hand.

Only twice. And both times were clearly not that far from earth. It's fair to assume they can only go so far before needing to stop and recharge their suits.
>>
>>92830905
They're sociopathic villains, not even close to any type of hero.

Saying that they can travel indefinitely through space in short amount of time is also making an assumption wouldn't you say?

He barely even knows ANYTHING about the planet. I doubt he is even aware of its resources.

No, I wouldn't. Because limitations are something that should be explicitly stated, you can't just assume them, and especially not an arbitrary amount which is just enough to say "oh well, they can't go far enough to find another planet."

But it was a claim. One of the main points for your argument was that it should be assumed that they can go to other planets, (here>>92830724). However later on you contradicted yourself and
wrote >>92831105 which said that how far they can travel is not specified. If it is not specified then how do you know they can go anywhere?

Do YOU know what war crimes mean? Because there is nothing in any of the Geneva Conventions about militaries having to absolutely avoid civilian casualties anywhere regardless of cost.

>>92831460
>Because we have nothing else to go on
Exactly. The distance is undetermined. Which means you can't say they can travel far enough to another planet without them explicitly having gone there.
>>
>>92831447
It's an illegal violation of neutrality, AND one that puts civilian lives at *guaranteed* risk. It's a war crime on multiple levels.

>>92829961

>>92831515
It doesn't apply here because they're fucking aliens who have no idea what the world they were going to was even like.

No. Undetermined is unconfirmed. All we know is that they can travel into space near Earth. Since they haven't gone far enough past Earth to another planet, we cannot conclude that they can.

If you need help. You should seek out help. If your sick, or hurt or in financial trouble, or you think people are after you, YOU SHOULD SEEK HELP!
Yes, you'll be a burden, But people will understand you're doing as much as you can to be as little of a burden as possible and will help you.
You have to seek that help out though, and trust they will accept it.

It might surprise you that that is a good lesson to teach children, but it is, as a matter of fact, a good lesson.

A cartoon telling children that they should instead go crawl in a whole and wait for death IS NOT A GOOD MORAL.

Oh no. Without this your argument falls apart. If Lance and Illana HAVE NOT been shown to move to a different planet. HAVE NOT mentioned once even the possibility of going to a different planet. And if the ONLY time they were in space was near Earth, then we can assume they cannot travel to a different planet out of the solar system. If they cannot travel to a different planet outside of the solar system, the Earth is the only one they can go to. If Earth is the only one they can go to, then they aren't in the wrong by staying there.

>>92832183
>they should have worked on it every spare second they had. Surely Octus could have figured it out.
Do you honestly think they weren't trying to get home? Of fucking course Octis was planning a way to get back, but even if he did find one, making another one of those warp gates, which seem to be the only thing capable of such a long distance of travel, on a relatively technological primitive world must take YEARS at most. So if they have no choice in staying and they can't leave, then they aren't being selfish and they're heroes after all.
>>
>>92832287
But my whole point is that they didn't have to go *home*, just leave Earth. Which is much easier.
>>
>>92832301

Still, under the assumption that rift gates are required for interplanetary travel as the show implies, it would still take Octis YEARS.

For all intents and purposes, they were stuck.
>>
>>92832301
>Which is much easier.
Even just getting to another habitable planet would have taken a device like the gate. If they could have they would have, but since the show doesn't see them mentioning it, doesn't see it happening, and doesn't imply it happening, they cannot leave Earth.
>>
>>92832151
So because the show doesn't have a loose continuity, it's not the same thing?

All that confirms is they can go deep into our solar system. We don't know how far the galaxy that Galaluna (much less any possible others) are from our own, meaning they might not have the power to travel there in one go.
>>
>>92834522
And the Mutraddi are from a different planet than Galaluna and interplanetary ships are a thing, but we are basically working with Stargate rules here. Ships take time, the rift gate is instantaneous.

And even if they did leave, Modula would have no reason to not obliterate Earth anyways just so the princess would have one less place to hide. Meaning the only moral thing for them to do is to stay and Earth and protect the innocent people they inadvertently put in danger, to the best of their abilities.
