Bishop in Alien 3 - Human or Android?

[Elmazalman]

So nothing a human couldn't do.

Maybe.

365 people saying he is human? what are you on? after a shot like that to the head with that tool would you walk around talking and doing stuffs? plus with your ears blowed off??

I`m medical doctor, the answer is yes.

Let's try this again.

I doubt that many people have that sort of pain threshold.

[Local Trouble]

Is that your professional opinion?

[Elmazalman]

It would depend on a persons level of pain tolerance.

The trick is not minding that it hurts.

ok gimme a wrench and line up guys!!! 

So at the end of Alien 3, do you believe Bishop is really human or is just an android?

For quite some time, I always believed it was an advanced android but it wasn't until AvP, somebody convinced me that he was really human.

Obvious troll isn't very subtle.

If your definition of troll is "a preson who actually knows what he is talking about", then yeah I`m definitelly one.

It doesn't really matter how many - Bishop II did.

It's also complete nonsense. 

Really, some of you should go watch some of the violence and civil unrest on websites like live-leak (Warning: Don't actually do it, because it'll probably mess you up.) You can have your legs blown off, and still be conscious for it. You can be shot, repeatedly, and still be conscious and lucid.

An example (which was recently made into a movie): Marcus Lutrell was shot repeatedly, had several shrapnel wounds, several broken bones, and he managed to continue to fight and crawl around during a heated battle in Afghanistan. A battle that lasted hours upon hours. He was still fully conscious.

Humans can survive a lot of brutal damage to the body, and even end up being "perfectly fine" afterward.

It was a hard hit that swung past his head and tore his ear loose. Happens to boxers. How is this debate *still* raging on?

Because the argument from incredulity is a popular logical fallacy.

He's human because logic and f**king over AVP is just icing on the cake.

[Henriksen]

He's human! "I'm not a droid!"

[Vermillion]

He's human! "I'm not a droid!"

Just like Rob Ford.  Believable.

I would love to see a single picture anywhere of that happening in a boxing match. Tyson vs Holyfield is not even comparable and that aint no cauliflower ear!



The movie has over the top gore. That's the strongest argument to debunk anyone unconvinced that a human can take that damage unfazed for the most part. Discrediting the severity of the injury reinforces the point anyone not convinced are making. However it is true what many have said already about what a human has the potential to take. Truth is sometimes stranger then fiction.

Bishop 2 is a human.

I've tried pointing this out before - I'm fairly certain (havent' seen the movie in a while) that a prisoner virtually explodes after the Alien grabs him and his body smacks off a door lintel.
