History Headscratchers / MenInBlackII

* So after Serleena eats that guy alive she barfs him up and takes his clothes since she's just running around in a bra and panties at the moment, but how the heck do they wind up fitting her? Better yet how does this big bulky dude's clothes wind up so form fitting?

** Althought this troper has always believe that the movies' endings are just funny gags to end the movies and should not be taken as canonical, let say they are. In the case of the marbles countaining one or more galaxies each actually (although probably unintentionally) that's a very fun way to explain the dark matter/ dark energy controversy in RealLife astrophysics, in the way that scientists still don't really know what is causing the galaxies and galactic clusters to split away from each other and in some cases to clash. Some even had theorized that a possible explanation is the action of a super advanced alien civilization. So, the reason why galaxies act weird like that is because some super alien is playing with them (or maybe the marbles are meant to contain universes, not galaxies but this was visually overlook in the movie). But anyway. Regarding planet Earth there is, again, two possibilities; that what the movie meant is that we live in some sort of pocket dimension, in the sense that the door was to open to a whole giant dimension that contains Earth (or the galaxy or whatever), or that very large portions of Earth are actually inhabited by this giant aliens and we don't realize. There're plenty of big inhabited zones on Earth; deserts, the poles, the oceans, etc. where a civilization a giant aliens could live without human knowing. Earth is really huge and the human civilization is much more concentrated that you might think; large cities and urban areas are generally around 3% of space in a country. Just take for example Australia, Japan and the US and check in a map how much population is concentrated in small coastal areas and how much large unoccupied space there is too.

* J speaks very casually to Jeff, and the MIB had given him limited transit privileges, so that implies that Jeff had been behaving decently so far. The dialogue also implies that Jeff got that big only very recently, which could be the reason why the creature started exploring outside of its restricted area (as in, his home got too small).

* A big part of the plot is getting back agent K by deneuralizing him. In spite of it being done with Jeebs' clandestine deneuralizer, it works, K remembers the MiB... And promptly mentions that he doesn't know anything about the light of Zartha because at the end of the mission he neuralized himself. This brings up a lot of questions :

* In the second film, Zed accuses J of basically being a workaholic. But what exactly are [=MIB=] agents supposed to do, aside from work all day? They can't have families. No friends either, aside from work relations. Aside from video games and movies all day, there's nothing to do. If I was MIB, I'd be a workaholic out of sheer boredom.

** There seem to be plenty of diverse people and beings working at MIB, plenty of people to make friends with... it's even implied that Jay occasionally hangs out with the Worms. But they can do plenty of things... go to the theater (live or movies), go out to eat, go get a massage, even take a vacation and go on a cruise. Basically they'd just have to live like single people without a terribly active social life at worst, which is not a fate worse than death despite what tropes might say.

** In the third movie, Jay says he's the MIB's league champ in bowling, so clearly there's activities and stuff organized, probably by the agents themselves.

#Why did the deneuralizer, which worked wonders to recreate K's lifetime of experience with the MiB, not also revive his memories of this specific mission ?

* Whatever happened to K's girlfriend during MIB and MIB II? She's suddenly forgotten and we get a (sort of) alien relationship out of nowhere.

* In the second film, Zed accuses J of basically being a workaholic. But what exactly are MIB agents supposed to do, aside from work all day? They can't have families. No friends either, aside from work relations. Aside from video games and movies all day, there's nothing to do. If I was MIB, I'd be a workaholic out of sheer boredom.

** Noisy Cricket. The gun doesn't have to be big to be powerful, and Serleena would be foolish to assume that just because she didn't see a big honking space gun, the MIB didn't have weapons on them. Especially since K had already been proven to be carrying a grenade on him when he was fighting that heavily-armed trash can.

* What was Jeff doing in the underground? Why would MiB ever be ok with a giant aggressive worm inhabiting the same space as ''the trasport system that carries millions of people every day''?! Yes, it seemed somewhat intelligent, but obviously not nearly enough to be safe, and besides, it wasn't disguised in any way. People on the station just ignoring him was a chuckle-worthy gag, I suppose, but surely not the actual setup they had in place!

* So Serleena shapeshifts into that model in the magazine because she... it? It needed a form that allowed itself to blend in on Earth. Makes sense. But if that was the case, why didn't it just shapeshift into the dog? It meets the dog right after it lands, before it sees magazine, and could've easily done it. I mean, I'm not complaining. I hate seeing dogs used as bad guys. Especially when it's shapeshifting aliens. (I ''hate'' [[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]].) But still. It's a noticeable headscratcher.
** Sarleena has been to Earth before and knows that humans are the dominant species. She needs to be able to do human things while she's there.

* In the second film, Zed accuses J of basically being a workaholic. But what exactly are MIB agents supposed to do, aside from work all day? They can't have families. No friends either, aside from work relations. Aside from videogames and movies all day, there's nothing to do. If I was MIB, I'd be a workaholic out of sheer boredom.
