In all honesty I don't think the writer really cared all that much about how much sense it made, only that it was funny. Which it was. It's left to various fanfic authors and fans to ponder the out there questions that the creators never bothered with and never wanted to address even if they found them.

Hmm, well, you're forgetting that the MiB is also responsible for making sure the planet isn't blown up, they monitor legitimate aliens, and their security is literally out of this world.

And of course, this doesn't take into account that they'd probably want to hire Ranma when he's able to take out 3 aliens by himself.

Good story, very short though

Short and brings up a vaild point. IT would been nice if it was a bit longer but there really wasn't much need in it. The MiB really do seem to do little more then keep the humans from noticing the Aliens. An alien goes on a rampage? It gets deported and all humans get mind wiped. No real evidence of them really punishing the alien with a mind wipe or anything. While they don't really show any humans dying in the movie, some those fights were rather destructive and in the real world you would imagine tons of innocents getting killed in thos scuffles. Not to mention the underground alien technolgy most humans don't know about, imagine rapist, murders or other people with the mind wipe technolgy? Not that much difference between the powers the MiB hold and any standard corrupt goverment rulling over the people type of movie.

Well, It was interesting, if a little short. Ciao

Excellent scene, I'd sure as hell like to see what happens afterwards though.

I like it. It's a rather unique POV on the MIB.

Heh, i wouldnt mine you writting a short scene of what's happing when the small group of highly equipped martial artists that went to new york. Keep it up.Or is it just a oneshot?

Neat idea, but I think the story is marred by rushing through to get the idea across. The ending seemed a bit rushed, but on contemplation, I've decided it's a great way to send directino without having to spend more time on it. But the fic would be a lot more exciting if you spent a bit more time on the confrontation between Ranma and the police. Either describing the initial scuffle, or go into more detail about Ranma injuring her and trailing her back to base.

This gets its point across, but as is is almost purely an idea fic; a bit more could help it quite a bit on the storytelling side.

Love it. I hadn't really thought of the MIB (from the movies and cartoon based on them) like that. I basically like it because of the reaction to the mind-rape. Too often in fiction I see cases of mind-rape go unpunished... It is good to see those who commit it being punished.

You know, you could post this as an episode on the Adventure over at,

It would probobly get continued over there.

nice

Heh heh!

I'm not sure exactly what future threads the MIB may end up in within my own story, but the technology is there.

This sorta thing could be an interesting twist. :-)

I forgot to mention that the original comic is itself derived from the "Men in Black" that came from the UFO and conspiracy stories (and claimed eye witnesses). They usually appear dressed up similar to the movie though they can have other appearances, hence the name. They usually are associated with equipment that can mind rape others, tap into equipment at a distance, and have many methods of harrassment that includes implanting mind control devices in others. Some of those UFO and conspiracy stories make it sound like that they favor some alien forces over others and are potentially hostile to long term human interests, whether they know it or not. They are also associated with harassing anyone who might be developing technology that is not approved of (like those that might include gravity control and perpetual motion machines). Obviously, the original form makes them out to be shadowy villains.

This was later the inspiration of the group with the "Smoking Man" in the X-files television series. Another set of villains that were apparently inspired by the original form are the Agents in the Matrix movies. The original form has also counterparts in most conspiracy oriented RPGs.

Expect a lot of people to criticize your portrayal of the MiB even if it is actually a lot closer to the original form than the more comedy-heroic portrayal of the MiB movies and cartoons.

If I remember correctly, the original MIB comic (way before the movies) the organization was rather amoral in their treatment of ordinary humans. Even midwiping humans who had friendly contact if that outside of what they said was acceptable. A little of that was shown in the first movie when that poor widow had her mind wiped from any knowledge of what happended to her husband. Some may try to justify their actions in the original, but it all stems from that organization not thinking of the long term consequences of not having clear guidelines on helping innocent bystanders or establishing friendly relations with those who could be allies (which may be the one big difference between the original version compared to the movie versions).
