Re: Family tree
Date: 2006-07-19 03:50 pm (UTC)From:Have to disagree on this one. Seems to me a "few" men are very capable of conquering the world (or at least causing mass panic and war) in this day and age (just look around at recent events). And, if those men, being immortal, view humans as slaves or playthings, know they cannot be killed by their own poison, and have no conscience, well it very well could work.
The problem with the story arc was that the time needed to build the belief in the ability of these men to carry out the deed was not there. Had they started small in a few places, spread word of a virus that morphed into a pandemic (think ebola, SARS, or the bird flu) by making sure it spread, increased panic, impacted world economic markets via the increased crime rates, health cost, building cost if they were using bombs, too., and numerous other factors, it would be possible to get the world or a good part of it cowtowing. Self preservation and greed make for strange alliances in world politics after all.
