Defeating the Shinra

[Jiro]

You capitalist prick. I am all for development. However the Shinra are not doing things in a sustainable manner. They are killing the planet, and consciously too. There are many other ways to provide power to the people, and sustainable ways to go about it. Murdering the planet and slaughtering innocent people to maintain power.

Wutai is the way it is because the Shinra crushed it. What kind of "electric company" does that? The Shinra are obviously corrupt and interested only in lining their own pockets at the explicit expense of everyone and everything else.

If you want me to discuss alternatives to the techniques of your filthy Shinra dogs, we can do that. But your blind faith in the Shinra is disgusting, and a sad reflection on humanity.

[Psychotic]

Sorry, what? Killing the planet? Says smurfing who? Some crazy old hermit who lives up in Cosmo Canyon? Gee, well, that's all the scientific evidence I need. Sorry President Rufus, best shut down the reactors and plunge us back into the stone age 'cause some random old coot says the planet will DIE because of it. Why, all of the trained and brilliant scientific minds you have in your service with the best equipment and research areas sure got it wrong!

Suppose you're right. Suppose using mako energy does kill the planet. So, uh, remind me again who it is who hordes all the smurfing materia and goes around using it wily nily? AVALANCHE. And how much Mako energy do you think the Dune Buggy or Cloud's honking great chopper bike take up, hmm? And don't even get me smurfing started on the Highwind. Why not destroy it after capturing it? Or is taking some years away from the planet's lifespan more convienient than having to walk, hmm?

Welp, how about I get you some stones for that glass house you're sitting in?

Have you seen the environmental devastation around these reactors? Have you noticed that the land itself seems to dry up and perish around them? Have you noticed that the land becomes a waste? Mako Reactors are destroying the planet. For all the advancement Mako energy brings, it is ultimately a curse.

My emphasis is clearly on sustainability. Shinra does not provide this. Ignoring their complete and utter corruption, their approach is inefficient and incomprehensible. There are plenty of tecnnologies that could be employed in order to provide electricity. These methods could be localized to the actual environment. For instance, Costa Del Sol could employ solar energy. Wind turbines could have been set up outside of Midgar to power the city. Hell, solar energy would work there too if not for the fact that the villages, the original villages​, are covered by your smurfing pizza.

You know where the biggest, dryest most awful wasteland of all is?

Cosmo Canyon. You know, Hippieville. QED.

[Sephex]

Cosmo Canyon.

So I just back the toilets up with my massive trouts and then flush the toilets repeatedly. This causes the water to go down whatever cracks it finds as I slowly flood the building. This adds years of wear and tear onto the infastructure of the building thus killing it before its time.

Not only is Cosmo Canyon an actual naturally occurring formation, it also exists between Nibelheim and Gongaga, two areas that have had or do have reactors.

Oh hey Gongaga. Such a thriving metropolis. Remind me what happened there again... oh that's right, AVALANCHE blew the reactor up and killed 90% of the townsfolk. Good going! Slaughtering all those people and leaving the rest to live in squalor sure saved the planet!

So I just back the toilets up with my massive tits.

The swear filter strikes again. edczxcvbnm = Tifa? SOMEONE MAKE A THEORY THREAD.

If edczxcvbnm was Tifa....that would be very awkward.

[Bubba]

This thread is officially legendary.

[Raistlin]

So AVALANCHE is group of tree-hugging pinkos all about "saving the planet," but you want to waste billions of gallons of water?

[Jiro]

SOMETIMES SACRIFICES HAVE TO BE MADE FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

And iirc the Gongaga reactor MALFUNCTIONED and caused the death of like the whole smurfing town. At least make your death machines probably you dickbitch!

[Mercen-X]

yolie sure living up to your name's sake there, Psyc... When did any of that happen?

[Hollycat]

Wutai logic:

We have the power to defeat shinra, all we have to do is turn into monsters and summon Leviathin, but do we have enough honor coins to afford such an action... nope.

Oh no we have been defeated by Shinra. What? They decided NOT to make a Wutai reactor after all? Blastphemy! We shall have our revenge by turning our country into a souvenir shop and bankrupting all of Shinra with over priced turtle soup!

What? Shinra is being destroyed from the inside and being attacked by Sephiroth, Weapons, and a group of hormone crazy teenagers and the only black man on the planet? Don't gather the troops, I'll let my daughter do the fighting.

[Mercen-X]

we turn into monsters

Why was Godo's the only specialized transformation?

summon Leviathin

curse of Levia-thinner?

Shinra is being destroyed by a group of hormone crazy teenagers and the only black man on the planet? Don't gather the troops, I'll let my daughter do the fighting.

While I agree Aerith, Tifa, and Cloud are hormonal, Yuffie remains the only teenager (not counting Nanaki)... also Barret is not black, he's just dirty from years of coal mining and he never showers. Also, you forgot to mention the double-agent doll Cait Sith.
