After the film ends, what happens to the characters?

[Matt]

First off, this isn't a fan-fiction thread.

I'm just curious as to what you think would happen IN REAL LIFE to fictional characters after the film ends.

For example:

'the Abyss': Would the Brigmans be able to reconcile their differences or would their re-discovered love be transitory?
'No Country for Old Men': Would TLJ retire?

Discuss.

The world would go batshit insane with the realization that we're not alone in "The Abyss".

well, yeah. What about the Brigman's though? Their reconciliation was brought on by a high-intensity situation. Now that that the INTENSITY is over with (they'll still be dealing with aliens) would they be able to maintain that kind of love? Would they be able to look at this as a second chance at things?

Personally, I think that they're doomed no matter what. Like the McClane's, theire destined for a divorce.

If they did stay together the resentment would be horrible.

YOU ONLY LOVE ME THANKS TO THE ALIENS.

Agreed... anyone on the Deepcore would be in the public eye forever. Granted, you can shut the military men up with official notices, but it's hard to keep civilians quiet. Especially people like fucking Hippy.

I wanted his rat to die. So HOARD!

The civillians would have been disappeared, nukes would have been launched at the aliens. They would be unaffected and water tentacles would rape and pillage the land.

Not necessarily. After the tidal wave display, would you think of fucking with someone who wielded power like that?

AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAH!! I don't know. That was a mainly a setup for my water tentacle rape scenario. I was about to edit it and add that the tentacles would all have Biehn's pedo stache'.

Or! His craziness was somehow absorbed by the NTI's when he died and then the pedo stache' water tentacle rape would commence!

[Matt]

alrighty then...this thread took a bit of a turn.

[Nathan]

Sorry for the short bus derail. Long day. Back to the topic at hand.

I think somehow, somewhere, some news crew would get the story, and it'd go worldwide. Then some network would try and exploit the aliens and their water tentacles and stuff (reality show, movies, fast-food tie ins, NTI action figures and Ship playsets, etc.).

The Brigman's would stay together for awhile until the story died down, and the world had gotten all the poop they could from them (talk shows, books, websites, etc.) and so on, they'd fade into the background and eventually, quietly, divorce.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'd like to think the aliens would have taken Ed Harris with them and he'd be a GOLDEN GOD.

Its been awhile, but didn't the NTI's show Bud a bunch of war footage from TV? I thought it was implied that they were thinking of wiping us out but Bud's texts (ha) between him and his wife convinced them we were worthy of living?

right. He was going to sacrifice HIS life in order to stop the bomb from going off. A selfless act. THAT is what saved the planet.

Which I guess would prove that they had no fear of our weapons/technology. Once their existance became common knowledge.....man. Dogs and cats living together.....
