Heat transfer by radiation complicates things. We lose the majority of our heat that way, and we'd lose a lot more if every cubic inch of the spaces we inhabit weren't flooded with thermal radiation from the objects that surround us.

You can absolutely judge the temperature of a volume, vacuum or not, by its radiation content at any given moment.

It has too many digits, the wings themselves are giant webbed hands.

I love engaging with pedants like that. It infuriates them as I agree with all their overly-narrow points but then show how they don't support their conclusion. They don't really know what to do so they just keep reiterating the same irrelevant points over and over in slightly different ways. Sometimes the back and forth would go on for days when I was on reddit.

It's my way of having fun and paying penance for my past pedantry at the same time.

Of course, but ignoring such basic physics does look silly as hell when you notice it, especially when it doesn't feel intentional.

Your logic could be applied to make the suit do literally anything, but I'll bet if it had the power to grant three wishes you'd find it silly too. And that would at least be an intentional choice rather than feeling like an oversight.

Superman is even less close to reality, but it still looks funny to me when he picks up a building and somehow it doesn't collapse. Does he have magic powers to give the building walls super strength? Or did the writers not think beyond "Supes strong, Supes pick up big heavy." It felt very silly once I happened to think about it.

Doesn't make either of them bad, just makes me chuckle.

I'd call that a coup!

I think the complaint is that the suit accelerates toward the alien when the opposite must be true.

Thankfully it is not a law and congress can't change it. It's the 22nd amendment to the constitution and thus would require 3/4 of the states to ratify a change. A coup is more likely.

Yes, Kabosu was a gem.
