What sense does it make for them to kill the women?


Wouldn't they want to use the women to reproduce, why did they kill the girl at the beginning after she had the baby?

On 1/20 Obama goes into office after running for President...and I go into a courtroom for running a stop sign!

Maybe they don't intend to hold her captive forever.

They were pissed that she gave birth to a baby that didn't live.

As stated before, the mutants saw that the mother wasn't a proper incubator to produce a hybrid human-mutant child. That being her only purpose, it made no sense to them for her to live any longer.

My theory I believe is that the mutants no longer had use for the women. I believe in those conditions it's very unlikely that a woman would survive child birth after the first time. Not only would she have been beaten but she would have been raped multiple times until she showed obvious signs of pregnancy.

There is also no indication of what she was being fed. Most likely cooked human remains, or stolen food from the tourists they killed. After 9 months of trauma, you finally give birth and the baby is ripped from in between your legs, umbilical cord and all.

She is bleeding out and if she doesn't die by infections or malnourishment might not be able to give birth again right away. So they likely disposed of the women to get "fresh" ones.

LOL "fresh"?. That sounds kinda....bad actually. Imagine a husband leaving his wife for another woman after she pops out a kid cause she isn't "fresh" anymore. Yikes

reply

I think what they meant by that was that she was in very bad condition.

She was malnourished, prone to infections, and just overall in terrible shape to continue being his baby-machine. Not to mention the mutant ripping the baby out would've likely caused severe vaginal tearing which would require some extensive stitching.

And for something like that she'd need medical supplies and attention, and these mutants weren't exactly in the know how or cared enough for what he saw as a mere "breeder".

reply

Because it would be highly unlikely that a person placed in such horrible conditions would even be able to live long enough to carry a second child. They have no use for them after the baby is born, so they kill them and go hunting for another victim.

lmao after i saw this scene the only answer that came to my mind would be genetic diversity. i think the rest of you may be right. was that baby really dead in the beginning? i was too busy with her reaction (trying to see her baby that was sad!)

reply

Well, if they want to use women as baby farms, wouldnt they want to keep them in a healthy enough condition to survive? They are out in the mountains, not that many women would come by on a regular interval.

reply


No, you all got it wrong. The father obviously lover her and when he saw that the baby wasnt his and that she has been sleeping with another mutant he killed her in anger. Later you see a scene when he cries for what he has done.

reply

How do they plan on feeding the baby (assuming it is alive), by killing the mother she won't be able to breast feed. Do they have a supply of formula, another lactating female around? They don't strike me has people that would go to the store and purchase some.

How do we know it died? That scene happened to fast for me to analyze, I watched it on TV thus I didn't get any extra features that may have gave clues to that scene. My children didn't come out of my womb crying, but then they weren't covered in blood also. Really it wasn't that messy.

Well the doctor didn't forcefully rip them out of you did he?
And let's not forget that these are stupid mutant hill people, and they are not exactly clever - since it didn't move or cry, he thought it was dead and killed the mother in a blind fit or rage.
Then he probably turned both of them into meat stew, alive or not
