Cyriak @cyriak.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Thinking about people in films who just magically fly around in the air somehow. I've never watched ET but there's a bit in that where some kids are flying on a bike, I guess ET is doing that? Can ET fly around? Does he do that in the film? The idea of ET flying around is kind of disturbing 181013

pizzasatan.bsky.social @pizzasatan.bsky.social · 16/07/2025You're asking very good questions that someone like me (whose also never seen the film) ponder over 010

Webgiant @webgiant.bsky.social · 17/07/2025I think with ET it's a kind of telekinesis rather than Superman's mysterious flight system. 030
Sean C @wabsnazsm.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I nicked the ET from the library ages ago. They kept referring to him as "The ancient botanist" which I didn't like as it reminded me of David Bellamy. 100
Mint Royale @mint-royale.com · 16/07/2025I can’t deal with discovering someone who hasn’t seen ET 140
Doyle from High School ❌👑 @partysubdoyle.bsky.social · 16/07/2025Love him or hate him, E.T. Is far from aerodynamic in build. 030
Cyriak @cyriak.bsky.social · 17/07/2025So, according to the replies, yoda is making the kids bike fly around using his mind. I mean ET, not yoda. Same thing I guess. That'll be why he doesn't have any legs, cos he can just fly himself around everywhere using the force. 4230
HappyToast @happytoast.co.uk · 17/07/2025He does it with magnets, he can make the bike fly because its metal, but he can't because he's space flesh. Science! 160
Minor league b3tan bloke @rotatingwobblyhat.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Don’t watch Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon it will fuck you up. 000
Rob Manuel @robmanuel.b3ta.com · 17/07/2025ET is space Jesus. He can do miracles like healing the sick, and the flying is his walking on water. He dies for our sins and ascends to back to heaven. I'm not sure why Spielberg decided to tell the story of space Jesus but I'm 100% convinced that he did. A moral allegory that we should be nice. 110
Tom Munday @tommunday.bsky.social · 16/07/2025He doesn't fly around in the film but he does do this thing where he spins very fast and drills into the earth to hibernate 150
Black Snow Weather Bureau @vulcanizedfiver.bsky.social · 17/07/2025It's supposed to be rooted in psionics, more specifically telekinesis (movement of self or various sizes of object according to mental prowess). Good pop culture examples are Professor X & Jean Grey from the X-Men, The Jedi & Sith in Star Wars, or Tetsuo Shima & the Espers from Akira. 1/ 100
Tony Toon @tonytoon.bsky.social · 17/07/2025He’s kind of gross so I think sometimes gravity just doesn’t want to touch him 120
Obsidian @obsidian-doom.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I feel like he would T-pose if he was flying by himself. Or maybe doggy paddle. 150
hobodemon @hobodemon.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Nah, ET just doesn't know how gravity works, so he was able to do the Wile E Coyote thing and sustain it longer through will saves. Bro maxed WIS and dumped INT, that's why he got kicked off the spaceship, party got tired of his bad cable management. 000
pie the guy @emergencypie314.bsky.social · 16/07/2025ET also falls into pits. a lot. (proof: that one game from '82) 040
Laura Teh Sull @laurathesull.bsky.social · 17/07/2025In the movie he doesn’t really fly around by himself, he makes other things fly with like his mind. Telekinesis thing. So he makes the bikes fly. Unclear about the species as a whole 🧐 130
