They will deride anime as childish and absurd when they worship a movie whose premise is based on a godlike being that attempts to solve resource scarcity by erasing half the population instead of simply doubling the resources. I never understood how that ridiculous idea made it past the writers' table.

That’s fair. I’m in favor of being more explicit about it being a stupid idea.
