WHAA?? WAS LAVOS SENT TO EARTH?? maybe...
« on: January 13, 2006, 02:20:28 am »
When you look at how fast he was travelling towards Earth, it was obvious that he hadn't even approached the Earth's atmosphere yet and yet he was moving at such a fast rate.
You know he isn't in Earth atmosphere becuase of the 360 degree rotation view of him hurtling down and Earth is still far off in the distance. So don't try and say the Red Star was Red from burning emmissions!
Maybe he was sent there,
perhaps as a probe,
a dominating/colonizing life form,
or a test for people on Earth?
Which is it? Why was he sent?

I always thought that Lavos itself landed there by chance, but people like Azala saw the trojectory and knew that he would land.

Maybe Lavos is just really goddamn fast.

Problem solved.

Lavos is also red on 12.000 BC and 1999 AD, and he isn't moving there.

Wait, what exactly are you saying?  Hard to read your post...

What the hell does Lavos being red have to do with where he came from?

The red is obviously not due to the fact of something like air resistance.  Its the aura he emanates.  He is not burning up or anything.  
As for why he was sent, I still believe that it was for expanding a species as all species must do.

Are you saying that perhaps he is the last of a species? Because I could beleive that. To me, these "Lavos" dudes (the humanoid itself) are similar to the the Yuuzhan Vong from the Star Wars New Jedi Order series in the way that they use biological technology such as the shell of Lavos.  Yet this can be countered by the fact that True Lavos hides inside a friggin machine...so perhaps not...

Once and for all, Lavos isn't GENOVA.

GENOVA's life cycle does bear striking ressemblances with Lavos' in FFVII:AC though, from what I've read about the plot.

Just wanted to back up that the red color of Lavos shouldn't be from going through the atmosphere or something. Sry, next time I'll try to make it more clear.

Lavos's lifecycle is:
1.  Enter and burrrow inside the planet.
2.  Absorb energy until capable of purge.  (In Lavos' case 65 mil years)
3.  Purge life from the planet in order to make the planet suitable for spawn.
4.  Create spawn and allow them to go.

Lavos may have left from his homeworld for probably one of three reasons:
1.  The world he was inhabiting was destroyed.
2.  The world he was inhabiting had far too many spawn trying to compete to gain energy.
3.  All spawn must leave their homeworld and find new worlds to conquer.

If he were sent to expand his species, do u think they would of waited millions of years to do so? They would of sent fleets of whatever at an instance to take over earth etc. They must of been desperate to expand they're species, so i dont think waiting millions of years was in the question.

I think that they did not intend the planet to have such a high level of resistance... or maybe its low level.  Their species may find 65 million years something like 2 days...

Waiting millions of years?  Lavos' goal wasn't political domination of the planet.  His goal was to populate his species.  Apparently, after he burrowed into the earth, he had to suck 65 million years worth of energy before he had enough spawn the Lavoids.  For example, if a man and a woman want to have a child, they can't just decide to have one, and give birth the next day.  It takes 9 months.  And apparently, it takes 65 million years for Lavos.

There's a lot of talk about lavos being desperate, or lavos being the last of his species but there really isn't alot of evidence to support this.

Since lavo creates spawn, we must assume that lavos himself was once a spawn. While this is not a certainty (after all we haven't always been humans, so at some point down the line lavos creatures wheren't always lavos creatures). So lavos was once one of those tiny little spawn. At some point he and all his siblings leave the planet in search of new planets. They don't know where the planets are (how could they? They are lightyears away) so they all just go off in random directions. It's possible that once they get within a certain area of a likable planet that they somehow change their trajectory. From one planet comes maybe hundreds, perhaps even thousands of spawn. Like many ocean species they will produce thousands of eggs simply because so many will die, in the end less than 100 of those eggs might survive to become a fish, and even then they may never produce children themselves.

Someone mentioned that 65 Million Years is a long time to wait, but put into perspective that Lavos could have spent Billions of years floating in space before finding earth, it's really not that big of a number.

I dunno, not sure where I was getting at anymore to be honest. Just bablling.
