I think the dinosaur thing is just one of the comics silly moments. I wonder where he's going with it though as the silly moments are usually one-offs or a few strips long and not a pseudo brick-joke. They also seem to have teraported the poor dinos into vacuum?

As for being 'effectively dead', you do realize what the definition of irrevocably undeniably unretrieveably dead means in this comic universe right? If you have a digital gestalt of yourself or transferred to virtual, you're not completely dead.

I think the prehistory of humanity is going to be relevant, actually.  It's probably building up to a heavy handed "Thank you for returning our property.  Your existence is due to our... associates?"

As for death, people are still actively struggling with the sudden redefinition of death - even as they experience it.  Sure, a laz-5 resurrection might be more inclined to grant property back to the race that grew and "died" ages ago.  It's still an interesting question, even if the answer is fairly obvious.

Someone who has never died might see this and say "Hey, we found this, and you were dead, you're only back because of our actions!  Why should we we respect your bygone property rights?"

At which point, as Egan_BW pointed out, it becomes a matter of who holds the guns.
Which is a complicated question, with the Chinook-collective trying to pair down a RAMPANCY.

Aardman clearly wins by being respectful #niceguy #actuallyNiceThough

Oh cool a thread for this. PTW.

Title is very, very, very appropriate.
