Before you dismiss me as crazy or what I am about to say as stupid I urge you to watch the film more closely when you see it for the first time or more closely again.
+ Show Spoiler +

When the movie proceeds to the part where the humans are big fat stupid lousy people sitting on hovering chairs, with robots performing everything for them the humans can't even do anything at all by themselves, let alone walk look at the overrall picture very carefully. Infact the robots do everything for them including feeding them and fattening them even more. This even includes operating the ships. I think you can make some sort of relation and comparison to the new attitude thats prevalent of the newbs that dwell in the Sc2 forums. There is a deeper message that a lot of people can relate to after all.

SC makes you fat too because you sit on your ass... e-sports in general must not happen. Only real sports.

Most top gamers I have seen aren´t fat, the percentage of fat people among them is not higher than among the normal population, I would think.

When Wall-E bumps into that fat guy and his clothes turn back red, and he realized that they had a pool with that other chick, is when they go back and play BW

Yes, you gotta do a bit of sport if you sit much.
Anyway, I was just mocking the subject line in combination with his post... which is just stupid. ._. Although he probably didn't mean it seriously, but who knows...
As if having a RTS without MBS makes you more athletic or something... it's still a damn computer game. So if you don't want to get fat, get away from the comp and work out a bit. MBS or not is a question of gameplay, not your fucking body.

No no no no no no!!!

All of you either misunderstood my post or did not watch the film at all.
+ Show Spoiler +

First I have established that there is a very deep message, excluding the two main characters Wall-E and Eva, there is, and this is objective, a philosophical criticism of where our society is at now and the means of improving ourself to advance to a higher tier civilization. The commoner or passer-by can spot that yes the film was criticising modern American society, but that person can only relate to it the human problem the film was describing by common day pattern and visuals; yes at present the American society is nothing more then looking haughty in your suburban vehicles travelling through road to roads while chatting on your cellphones and surfing the internet while you are fed garbage until you become fat or in a pathetic state in the grand scheme of things.
However there is an a deeper more complex message that people didn't seem to get the gist of, its telling us of a philosophy of life that people in the U.S and perhaps the world has firmly believed in and partakes in right now, and its telling us that its wrong and destructive in a sense; its the belief that through making life easier through, (in this movie), the application of cutting edge sophisticated technology we are advancing to a higher tier in civilization. Its affecting us right now, its also the belief that tasks or endeavors that consumes significant amounts of effort and energy should be eliminated for the reason of making things less drastic and of course "more advanced". People like us believe that humans have overcome many difficulties and obstacles through eliminating difficulties or simple tasks. Well guess what? People don’t appreciate the beauty of simplicity and raw power of the simple difficulties in life; perhaps the process by which we have eliminated these difficulties shows that we are in a stage of advancement but once that process is complete, we cannot come to a new stage where there isn’t a challenge as there was before to undertake in that same process with that scale of magnitude. We have come to the conclusion that something that helps remove unnecessary burdens that does not cause any significant damage or problems is something “new age” or “higher tech”. We have to respect the roots and the challenges that may not cause us any harm. We see this attitude in the Sc2 forums, MBS is something new age and high tech, completely unnecessary but will make things easier; the fat people thing was a metaphor of this concept that Pro-MBS’ers like to hang on to, because there was no need to walk, to perform chores or any other time-consuming tasks we see the humans become complacent and unable to perform the challenges needed. We have the robots doing everything for us and made the humans worse instead of better off. Same with MBS, people want a more advanced interface with MBS when it’s not advanced at all while failing to see the beauty and the complexity resulting from the non-mbs UI that was in BW. MBS'ers want things to be more easier and less energy consuming. We have to adapt not make our environment to our bidding, so that we don’t have to do anything. There is so much more in this deep message and in the film that I could go into but I am too lazy.

Also, I have discovered which hemisphere of the brain most of Tl.net uses.

Bump*, because by now everyone has seen the movie and the point I was trying to make is still relevent to the MBS fiasco thats still going on. Now everyone can understand what an Anti-MBS person like me is trying to get across.
