Is it cool if I play you supple buttcheeks like a bingo drum for an hour straight?

“You know, things have been rather uneventful lately---aside from the usual autograph signings and brand deals it has been pretty boring. Perhaps I could squeeze in a private concert performed upon my glorious buttocks sometime after 4 o’ clock tomorrow. Let me just check my schedule real quick---”.

What's your opinion on the iron giant? I always thought the fact that he was clearly made for war, but was fully peaceful to be fascinating. Like whatever alien civilization created him must have been totally against a war but out to win one should it ever break out.

I love the Iron Giant! I’ve never read the original book, but the movie is one of my favorites. The Giant himself is also one of my favorite fictional robots, both in design and in personality.

As for his origins, I have a bit of a headcanon, going off of what we see in the film as well as this remastered deleted scene from the Director’s Cut of the film:

As you can see, the Iron Giant was one of many Giants from an alien planet in the midst of a great war (whether it was between two different planets or all on one planet is up in the air). However, considering that the Giant eats metal and only activates his weapons when presented with a threat, here’s my headcanon:

The Iron Giant’s home planet was in the middle of a “Cold War” similar to Earth, with many nations building bigger and more powerful weapons. As a last-ditch effort to finally bring an end to the stalemate and end wars entirely, the Iron Giants were created not to destroy, but to disarm- they’d eliminate anything they considered a “weapon”, and consume the remains as food, so that no nation could threaten the entire world with mutually assured destruction. But their creation was considered a threat to the other global powers, thus triggering a world war that ended in the entire planet getting destroyed.

As for how the planet was destroyed, I have two hypotheses: either the superweapons the aliens created eventually became so powerful they could destroy a whole planet, or the Iron Giants’ considered the entire planet to be a “weapon” according to their logic. I mean, if the OG Iron Giant considered a plastic toy raygun a “weapon”, their programming might have been too vague for their creators’ own good.
