- Sarcophagus does eat your soul and make you evil...which makes your WMG a Fridge Horror given the ending.
- Use of the sarcophagus drives people insane, so it explains perfectly why so many people on Elysium - who use it to fix crow's feet - are cold-blooded sociopaths who don't care about Earthers dying of easily-treated leukemia or radiation poisoning. And given how familiar Kruger and his men are with the device - one even mentioned how pissed off Kruger was after having his legs re-attached a few years earlier - him being Ax-Crazy makes all kinds of sense, as does him going completely bugfuck nuts upon having his face regenerated.
- It's implicit in the series that the psychological problems are a result exposure—and the sarcophagi are addictive. It's basically a functioning Auto Doc that will add free induced psychopathy.

- Even better, Kruger may actually be Wikus from D9. He's old enough, assuming he got his Prawnishnes fixed.
- My own personal take was once humans reverse engineered the prawn tech, humans exterminated all the prawns, and the tech is what all the tech in this movie is based on.
- The Chemrail gun Max finds in the armory is definitely feels like it came right out of the Prawn arsenal.
In the Mega Man ZX games, the last series of games before the time-skip to the Legends games, the line between humans and androids has begun to blur, as humans convert themselves into cyborgs and androids become increasingly human-like. It is also mentioned that they are creating a world called Elysium.
- Then that would mean Elysium was also renamed Arcturus Station prior to the mission to Mars and moved after the discovery of the relay.
Sure, Elysium may very well be able to send far more health rejuvenating devices down to Earth for free universal health care to be available for all. It even seems to have been prepared to be sent, based on how quickly such a delivery is issued after Elysium is taken over, suggesting that all that Spider's program did was to be a nuisance by setting off an early launch, bypassing safety concerns and probably leading to a few avoidable accidents. It wouldn't have been Delacourt who was in charge of deciding whether or not to send them any way so, whether she would have or not, she's not at fault in any way for the lack of any of the health pods on Earth.
Also, based on the levels of technology in Elysium, it is extremely unlikely that Spider was able to reprogram it with any permanent changes. The more likely result is of a few more days of access to health pods for the people on Earth, then their retrieval, along with an arrest of the refugees (whether they are later pardoned, given their refugee status and the nature of Spider's coercion or not), and a reinstatement of the android security forces as and when Spider's reprogramming is cleared (which the android guards will allow to be done, as merely adding more to the registered population does not withdraw the access codes of legitimate authority).
As for Delacourt's fatal injury when she refuses help for her slot throat... Do you really think that merely bleeding out is sufficient cause for Elysium security chief to be killed on Elysium!? Again, given Elysium levels of technology and the medical, cybernetic technology in particular, it is no doubt automatic for Delacourt and her peers in the governing body of Elysium to be cloned by hidden medical pods with entirely new bodies and uploaded with scans of their own memories as of up to the last time they had the medical pod scan them (once a day, according to her own rules and regulations, I would think) triggered to occur as soon as a death is detected by Elysium's ubiquitous security scanners. She allowed herself to die as a return to life where she was is only going to leave her in the middle of the danger. Dying a relatively painless and quick death, on the other hand, will deliver her straight to a new body in the middle of secure offices elsewhere, missing the memory of the last 24 hours or so, but ready to immediately start dismantling Spider's bit of terrorist programming.
