message: Why is the Tycho Treaty always being deleted from this site? That section is true, I don't know why there's such a problem with it.  You're all wrong about one thing.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.45.49 (talk) 02:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's being deleted because this article is about the film Men in Black, not some non-notable (a Google search on "The Tycho Treaty" +band only brings back 31 returns) band who happened to make an album with a MIB theme. This band had nothing to do with the film, and the continual re-insertion of irrelevant information comes off as a transparent attempt at self-promotion. TheRealFennShysa 03:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Is that supposed to help your argument? You just proved the point that the aim of adding the band is to promote an unknown band, not to add further information on the film. -- 70.58.92.168 (talk) 20:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I just added a paragraph called Trivia that contains reference to an episode of the X-Files TV series which also used the same theme as the movie. However, this has been removed. Is there any reason why such a reference should not be included? I thought it would be interesting to see how the same theme, based upon the comic series, is used in multiple creative expressions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.150.80.101 (talk) 21:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was removed because you have no references citing that The X-Files actually used The Men in Black as their inspiration for that episode, only your own impression of that idea - one which you originally posted as The X-Files influencing The Men in Black, which is impossible, due to the timeline. What you posted was not based on published facts, but personal opinion - which should be avoided. TheRealFennShysa 22:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference to X-Files series 

message: In the article Rip Torn is credited as playing the role of chief "Zed". Now, in the film, virtually every member of the Men in Black organization is represented by a letter. Now, "Zed" can be a man's name, however it is also a pronunciation of the letter "Z" (pronounced "zee" in America). Now, is his name actually "Zed", or is it simply the pronunciation used for the letter "Z"—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.7.120 (talk) 22:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The credits list him as "Zed" -- I can't recall if his name was ever seen written in the actual film, but the credits seem a reliable source to spell it out. 129.170.31.68 (talk) 15:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I have made a small edit to the section on the final scene which stated that the marbles which contained earth, the solar system and beyond were Galaxies because this wouldn't make sense, if our Galaxy were contained within a marble and it were moved around by an alien hand and we couldn't see that hand then this would mean we wouldn't be able to see outside our Galaxy, which we can. Also if it were only a Galaxy and for some reason we didn't see the alien and only the other marbles then the huge movements seen would mean we would see other Galaxies suddenly close to us, and then far away.
Because of these reasons I feel that the only reasonable explanation is that these marbles contain whole universes (yes, I know a 'universe' is technically all that is, but I don't know any better word for what appears to be contained within the marbles.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomCake (talk • contribs) 09:55, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You do not understand that it is supposed to be a joke. I does not have to and, indeed, does not actually make sense. The whole movie was about a galaxy on Orion's belt, not a universe. Andy120290 (talk) 19:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The spaceship in the final scene 

message: The plot section of this article seems to focus largely on the nature of MiB. In my opinion, a very brief intro to MiB should be given, and the rest of the section should focus on the plot. Additionally, the scene with our entire galaxy being in a marble is very, very insignificant. For it to make sense for this to be included in this plot section, the section would have to go into much more detail about the rest of the film, as well.STAR TREK enthusiast  Open channel 02:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot section 

message: This movie shows nothing of what the real Men in Black do. The real MIB are heavily involved in a secret government conspiracy to aid an evil race of aliens in their sinister plan to colonize the earth. They will stop at nothing to keep the truth from being heard until its too late. They intimidate witnesses, wage misinformation campaigns, slander those who attempt to inform the public in order to discredit them, and even do assassinations.

message: FWIW - seems there is a "The Men in Black" (1992) film, rated 7.8 of 10.0 (above average), on the IMBD website - but no mention whatsoever afaik on Wikipedia? - not much information seems to be available on the internet after a casual search - nonetheless, perhaps this film may be worth mentioning in one (or more) of the "Men in Black" Wikipedia articles? - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 14:01, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
