Yor, the Hunter from the Future: Difference between revisions

Removed subpoint about carrion-eater triceratops; the blog post is long gone and nothing Google currently returns even hints at omnivorous triceratopses. It may have been a one-off speculation that fell through.

Line 65:
** Why are you assuming that Yor's world is Earth? It could be a futuristic colonial world of Earth that had dinosaur-like species living on it before the human colonists had a nuclear war or just an alien planet in which human-like beings and dinosaur-like creatures on it, which also had a nuclear holocaust.
** I would think that would be obvious. Well, by bad-movie logic anyway. {{spoiler|[[I Love Nuclear Power|It mutated!]]}}
** [[Truth in Television]]: [http://geodicti.blogspot.com/2011/02/top-10-dinosaurs-that-arent-what-they.html Recent fossil evidence]{{Dead link}} suggests that Triceratops did indulge in the occasional carnivorous meal, and was a carrion-eater in addition to eating plants. Of course there was no possible way for the filmmakers of ''Yor'' (not mention filmmakers of yore) to have known this, so it still counts a goof.
* [[Spoiler Title]] - The film seems to present as a shocking twist the idea that it is set in a post-apocalyptic future rather than the past as a great revelation after the Overlord's technological minions appear. Despite the fact that it ''says in the title'' that it's set in the future.
** Strictly speaking, the title only says that ''Yor'' is from the future, without saying why or how. That he is from the future because it ''is'' the future becomes a bit of a twist, in that light<ref>[[Fridge Logic|Why would the title emphasise that he is ''from'' the future if everyone in the movie is just as much from the future as he is?]]</ref>.
