History WMG / Elysium

[[WMG: Afrikaans culture RecycledINSPACE!]]

* The ChemRail gun Max finds in the armory is definitely feels like it came right out of the Prawn arsenal.

Remember that whole medical chamber where people started being revived? What if those chambers were publicly available via humanitarian services? People stop dying, lifespans increase, the amount of children in the world doubles, even triples. Eventually, the overpopulation crisis is so insanely terrible that mass famine and poverty strike most of the first world, which leads to the world of LA we see in the film. Now you have gotten people in the 20th century still alive, even corporate execs, who now have access to near immortality.

* Even better, Kruger may actually be Wilkins from D9. He's old enough, assuming he got his Prawnishnes fixed.

''{{District9}}'' was an extended Van der Merwe joke. This was a total reconstruction of ''Jan Pierewiet''. The next film is going to be... ''Kinders Van Die Wind''! Or, Hex River. I dunno.

The planet is burnt out from some new type of nuke, the oil ran out, and somewhere else, to fit with some other mass guesses, the latter half of the Mad Max series is going on in Australia, and just about every other crapsack world that doesn't directly contradict some other one. Actually Mad Max would have happened much earlier, but...

[[WMG: Elysium is set in the MegaMan universe]]
Specifically, in between MegaManZX and MegaManLegends. In MegaManLegends, Earth is covered in ruins of a high-tech organization that used to inhabit it but left for some reason. In MegaManLegends2, we find out about a distant world called Elysium, where humanity used to exist in peace with absurdly advanced technology, and that the citizens of Elysium were the descendents of the people that created the ruins. By this point, however, Elysium is uninhabited.

In the MegaManZX games, the last series of MegaMan 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.

Carlyle, Delacourt, et al were in their 90's when the initial cure for aging that would become the med-bays was invented sometime around the present day. He was in his late thirties, and made himself useful enough as a merc to be restored to functioning youth again and again. He is also running out of time, because, even prior to being fired, he's not allowed to return to Elysium to be restored again.

** Then that would mean Elysium was also renamed Arcturus Station prior to the mission to Mars and moved after the discovery of the relay.

Due to Max's actions, the quality of life on Earth is improved to the point where true rebuilding can begin and the slums are restored to full cities. A few years later, the first true missions to Mars are launched using Elysium, which is now a glorified Space Station as a launching point, and the Prothean relics are found. Then, the next is history.

How else do you explain him getting into such a position, where he can have access to weapons like he does? He used to be a logical agent for the government, but he had a head injury, which (like we saw in the movie) he healed from... Needless to say, he came back just a tad wrong. However, the change was really really subtle, so his superiors didn't catch on. After that one incident, it happened over and over and over and over again, leaving him the katana-crazy villain we saw in this movie.

This explains the ridiculous technology. At some point, the NID got their hands on a sarcophagus, and they reverse engineered it to invent the Med-Pod. Being the elitists that they are, they weren't interested in improving the lives of the common people, regardless of how much money they could make doing so. As a result, they built Elysium, obtaining financing by selling lots there complete with Med-Pods and the promise of nigh-immortality. It also doubled as a defense against alien attack- if any hostile aliens show up, it'll be the commoners on the surface taking the casualties, while Elysium simply avoids the problem by maneuvering away from Earth.
