Topic: Hancock Forum: JoBlo

I'm positive that whatever questions were left unanswered in Hancock will be explained in the sequel in more detail . Spoilers I'm satisfied with some of the explanations i've read so far in here concerning the reason they lose power when immortals are in close proximity for too long . The adam and eve angle makes sense . It's like when a guy falls in love , he loses his power and independence , as he begins to bond with his chosen mate , in most cases taking on the persona of the one he loves . There were shades of Supe 2 in there somewhere , Superman had to make a sacrifice in order to be with the woman he loved , and he had to renounce his powers and become a mortal in order to share a life with one . In Hancock , you made the choice to stay with your " twin " and die a mortal , or remain alone and live forever . That was the choice the immortals had to make , it seemed most of them couldn't bear a life of emotional solitude in exchange for immortality , so they bonded with their twin and eventually died . Hancock would have experienced the same fate , but in a twist of fate ( i'm thinking this was a sly reference to divine intervention and providence ) , he was injured and taken to a hospital . Because of this injury he lost his memory , he was sort of reborn , with no recollection of his origins , his twin , or how he came to be . If he stayed with his mate , both of them would have died and their would have been no immortals left in existence . I'm thinking there are , " evil " ones , and the ones who are motivated for good will be needed , that's why Hancock was injured and he lost his memory , he was going to be needed at a later date as the world became more dangerous . he didn't make the choice to leave his mate , the choice was made for him , and i think he gradually realized this , there were other forces at work concerning his creation , powers , and the events that happened in his life . That's one of the reasons he found the strength to escape from the hospital , he was saving his mate and himself , and he realized he had to preserve the last vestiges of an immortal race , it was his responsibility . He finally understood his purpose and his duty to the mortals he was meant to protect . There was something else that made me think there are more of them , Theron said something to the effect of anytime we are together , they find us or will come after us . I'm thinking they encountered some rogue immortals in the past whose sole purpose was to hunt down and kill the " good " immortals . Those were the ones that attacked Han those 80 years ago and put him in the hospital , i'm guessing . He was vulnerable at the time because he had lost almost all his powers from being with his twin so long , and they must have known this , so they waited until they knew he could in fact be killed as a mortal . That is the twist of fate i was referring too though , he was attacked and they tried to take his life , but instead they altered his fate and saved his life , because Theron took off after that and both of them regained their powers and immortality . end spoilers Uh , yeah Bourne , the Mac D thing had to be one of the funniest product plugs ever .
