This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

So that explains the violence. It also gives the ending of the movie pathos. As the last cicada falls from the Statue of Liberty into the sea, the last of his kind.

But they each only live 48 hours. And they are looking to mate.

But the females, sometime in the 130,000 years, have all died. Probably due industrialization of some kind.

And of course their noise is enough to drive people mad. And they are violent. Scientists don’t know why, since cicadas are not violent insects

First ones come out at drilling sites and mines.

Then they come up in cornfields and graveyards. Interstates and parking lots. Suburbs. Cities

Hear me out. You know how there are 13 year and 17 year cicadas that come out of the ground by the millions?

What if there are 130,000 year giant cicadas coming out this year?

Now that would be a movie! Let’s go Hollywood

Debates in the 80s:
"Is postmodernity the decline of grand narratives?"
"Was punk a libertarian cry or a nihilistic noise?"

Debates in 2024:
"Is the Earth flat, or are we victims of a global conspiracy?"
"Is the sun a giant government lamp?"

GAWD.
