** They could also discern each other based on the animals used in Chinese New Year, though this would give the branch an upper limit to how many recruits can be available at a time without causing confusion (48 agents to be percise).

[[WMG: The disparity between the length of Centaurian Time and the standard Galactic Week is due to relativity.]]
How do 37 weeks pass every Centaurian day (or 24 weeks per Earth day?) Simple: Time dilation between Earth and the source of the standard galactic timekeeping standard. Evidently, they must be in a very low-mass region of space.

* Also, [=MiB=] suits doubling as a sort of light armor would partly explain why an organization so obsessed with secrecy won't let their agents wear street clothes to blend in better while on duty. The average [=MiB=] agent gets tossed around quite a bit, if J and K’s adventures are any barometer.

[[WMG: People who are born into MIB cannot be Neuralyzed when retirement hits.]]
Whenever someone wants to retire in the organization, they would have to be neuralyzed to prevent TheMasquerade from being broken. This makes sense for personnel who joined the organization in adulthood considering they already had a life before it and an excuse would be much easier to come up with, but what about those who were born into MIB? They spent their entire childhoods knowing aliens exist so if they were neuralyzed, they would be missing a massive chunk of their entire lives and make it much harder for the organization to come up with a convincing backstory depending on how old they are when they decide to quit. One suggestion is that [[ResignationsNotAccepted they wouldn't be retired at all]], but instead permanently demoted to a job in MIB that's less stressful for their bodies such as being a teacher for alien children about human customs or being the janitor.

** It has a nightmarish face, so quite possibly. Maybe, it wasn't the sight that killed people, but the realization of our place in the universe? [=MIB=] probably already knows AllMythsAreTrue (Satan made headlines in the sequel after he escaped from Hell, again) so knowledge of the gargantuan entity is a public secret. Maybe the organisation is responsible for all the light pollution over cities? As they don't want people seeing God looking back at them, and having a planet-wide mass panic.

[[WMG: Agent J is part alien]]
As established in the animated series, the neuralyzer only works on humans, but J resists K's attempt to neuralyze him which results in him becoming part of MIB as he still questions K about his motives. Not only this, but J has survived many incidents that would've normally killed a human, such as being thrown around like a ragdoll and having his spine bent by one of Serleena's {{Mooks}}. He is also the most sympathetic of the entire organization when it comes to dealing with aliens, having interpreted various scary cutouts of aliens in the shooting range as them trying to live a normal life while immediately pointing the finger of suspicion to what looks like a young child carrying quantum physics books.

[[WMG: The giant alien playing with the marbles at the end is {{God}}]]
* The marble was (according to the script) meant to hold our entire ''Universe'', not just our galaxy as it appears in the final product. So maybe the marbles are all the universes God created and he plays with them from time to time.

[[WMG: The correct response to the shooting range test wasn't to shoot the little girl, it was to not shoot anybody.]]
J's argument that the girl seemed suspicious because she was carrying quantum physics textbooks and hanging out in a dark alleyway wouldn't be sufficient justification to shoot somebody in real life. He failed the test just like all the other applicants, but was chosen anyway since he only shot a single person and demonstrated he put at least a little thought into his actions, making him the least bad choice.

The first movie had an off-hand reference to Corellians. The third film had an Arcanian, which is also ''Franchise/{{Star Wars|Legends}}'' race. Finally, the original movie showed Creator/GeorgeLucas to be one of the undercover aliens - he probably wrote StarWars as a fictitious story, involving actual places and customs he was familiar with.

Secretive, hyper-powerful organizations whose primary purpose is to police the planet of the strange, the unusual, and the dangerous and to keep the peace by suppressing knowledge of their existence? Too coincidental.

* The movie ''Film/MenInBlack'' (followed by ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'') not only softens our detection of MiB agents, but makes them easier to blending in. This allows them to neutralize us easier and prevent them from being known by everyone as they are now considered by ever single person, a piece of fiction.
