Talk:Extra-galactic alien (Men in Black)

New name for the page
I really like this article, it has a video to help illustrate it and the note about this being the largest alien on this wiki was a very interesting observation. Still, I wonder if we couldn't find a better name for this page than "large alien hand". It should at least be "Large alien (Men In Black)", since we are interested in the creature, not its hand (yeah, I do aknowledge that the hand is the only part of it that we can clearly see). I would appreciate you guys' opinions :) BlueFrackle 01:31, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Largest Creature
Hey everybody i like to know is this the largest alien or not because i think Yog-Sothoth is much larger. I hope i get a good answer, thank you.


 * Hello Yoggie! You may very well be right. The "large alien hand" from MIB was obviously a joke, but supposing we take it seriously, it appears to reside in a planet-like set, with ground and sky (in which no sun or other stars are visible). Yet each of his fingertips is larger than the Milky Way Galaxy (which is about 100,000 light years across). That is enough to assume that it resides outside of what we call "universe". I'd give it about twenty million light-years in size, possibly larger. Now for Yog-Sothoth, I don't recall the book ever giving an estimate size for it, and always assumed it to be an enormous noncorporeal entity, but still confined to the limits of our galaxy. However, now that you asked I did some research and there seem to be lots of people referring to Sothoth as being "bigger than the universe" or things like that, so there is a valid point here, we could change the reference in this page to "the largest alien ever imagined, with the possible exception of Yog-Sothoth" - BlueFrackle 14:15, November 7, 2010 (UTC) P.S.

Yog-Sothoth size
You are right Blue, he is the largest alien ever imagined but is he as large of the Cthulhu Mythos Multiverse? "Yog-Sothoth is co-termious with all time and space"- Yoggie 17:02, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a nice question. If Yog-Sothoth is a living multiverse, and is present in all of the space-time continuum, he's quite obviously the largest alien ever imagined in all sci-fi. I'll change the line at the bottom of this page to reflect that. I'll also move this page because "large alien hand" really is a crappy name for a page ;-) BlueFrackle 16:10, November 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Milky Way's about 100,000 light years in diameter. If there are the same proportions between the alien and it as a human and a marble, it'll be around 17,000,000 light years tall, which is around double the size of our Local Group of galaxies. Not actually that big, in the bigger picture... :P HolbenilordTalk₪ 12:57, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
