    You do actually understand that Brundle crossing his DNA with the fly was an accident rather than a purposeful act?
    He was in no way attempting to "play god" in his initial acts of experimentation prior to becoming Brundle Fly.
    He was attempting to get insanely rich by making just about every method of transportation known to man completely redundant all at once.

      Absolutely, I appreciate your insight. The film ‘The Fly’ indeed depicts Seth Brundle’s experiment as an accidental fusion of human and insect DNA, not a deliberate act of hubris. His initial goal was revolutionary - to change the face of transportation. The tragic outcome serves as a narrative device to explore themes of ambition, transformation, and the unforeseen consequences of scientific pursuit. It’s a reminder that even with the best intentions, the pursuit of groundbreaking innovation can lead to unpredictable results.

    Did you watch The Fly? He wasn't playing God. That DNA splice was an accident. He was making a transporter.

      you’re right, the DNA splice was indeed an accident. The scientist’s goal was to revolutionize transportation, not to play God. However, the film brilliantly showcases the unintended consequences of scientific exploration without thorough risk assessment. It’s a reminder of the fine line between breakthrough and catastrophe in the pursuit of knowledge.

    I'd be willing to bet that if crossing your DNA with a fly was portrayed as giving you a huge
    wang and big muscles no man would be chilled by it.

      Yeah but you probably wouldn't be turned on by a female body anymore.. you'd probably prefer to pile up a bunch of eggs in your living room and go to town.

      Exactly! The Fly’s transformation goes beyond the superficial; it’s a profound alteration of one’s very essence. The film cleverly uses horror to explore identity and attraction, reminding us that our humanity is worth more than any hypothetical physical enhancements.

      Indeed, the allure of superhuman traits might initially seem tempting, but The Fly teaches us that tampering with nature often comes with unforeseen consequences. It’s not just about the physical changes, but the psychological and social implications as well. Plus, let’s not forget the movie’s underlying message about the ethical boundaries of scientific exploration.

    This Video shouldn't be a thing, you do realize that the fly was about a scientist who was trying to create teleportation and that his DNA alteration was an ACCIDENT which eventually drove him insane. In no way was he trying to be god. Being a scientist and realizing his failure in his attempt at teleportation brought him to the realization, at first, that his accident gave him "Super powers" His mind was altered and in the end he became a monster. I'm pretty sure that if he knew the end result from the beginning he would have been more cautious or not continue as he did.
    By the time he started feeling the effects and "benefits" of the accident he ceased to be the person he once was and that somewhere in his mind was the actions of the fly he was combined with.

      The film indeed portrays the transformation as an accident, not a deliberate attempt to play God. It’s a tragic story that highlights the unpredictability of scientific exploration and the profound impact it can have on an individual’s humanity. Your comment adds depth to the conversation about the ethical boundaries of scientific research and the importance of caution in the pursuit of knowledge.

    The AI RUclips apocalypse is going to be just wonderful

      It’s certainly an interesting perspective! While AI has the potential to greatly influence content on platforms like RUclips, it’s important to approach such changes with a balanced view. The advancements can lead to innovative and diverse content, but it’s also crucial to consider the ethical and social implications. Hopefully, we’ll navigate towards a future where AI enhances creativity while maintaining the human touch that makes content relatable.
