I take it they are going to not engage with any of the interesting linguistic novelties that would come with a mostly deaf mute population, but instead just pretend that peopel don't have the intrinsic need to make themselves understood and understand others #monsterdon
so there IS sign language, the father just didn't take the time to learn it to talk to his daughter, one of like a dozen people in the world. lmao checks out #monsterdon
their language has evolved to say "three turns of the earth" but still retain the word "days" as an equivalent and know that's what one from 1960 would use. so there is a strong linguistic pressure to be extremely inefficient with your words in the future where many people do not speak #monsterdon
bro we are more than halfway through the movie we do not have time for you to grapple with the loss of your time period if you wanted to do that we needed to do that exposition half an hour ago #monsterdon
so is the conflict of the movie that this guy is stuck in time or that he needs to go back and stop the plague, because being stuck in time seems to be working out fine and if this guy needs this much exposition to get the gist of what is going on around him i don't think he's gonna be solving the plague #monsterdon
we actually have no idea if the scientist accent guys know anything about time travel and so weirdly the supreme and the military guy are being very normal about this #monsterdon
OK neuromatchstodon and other fedi friends, it's sunday night, so you know what that means - you're about to hit #monsterdon, so if you want to remove it from your TLs you should add a filter for the hashtag, or else join us next week! https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon
