Obvious unanswered question - How will they have sex?


I mean seriously? reminds me of an old futurama epsiode where fry falls in love with a mermaid and is going to stay with her until its time for sex and fry asks how they are going to do it and she replies "well I lay my eggs on the bad and leave, then you come ago and fertilize them." lol.

Did you miss the part where she has legs on land? Also the Futurama ep was about one of Zoidberg's people.

Seriously pay attention.

I don't know exactly how it works but, she tells him when he talks about visiting his brother for Christmas "You can never go back"

Think about it, why wouldn't he be able to go back? It's because somehow she changed him into being able to live only underwater. Otherwise he could at least visit his brother for a half day or something.

You think the other mer people are going to accept a human in their community? Tom hanks is going to be a lonely guy with only madison for company most likely. He really gave up a lot.

That doesn't mean they can't go to the beach and frolic in the sand for a little while. "Going back" meant going back to New York City and visit Freddy and stay for a few days. He had to live in the sea forever.

I've always said that it may be a happy ending for her, but it's sure not a happy ending for him.

And I don't want to be indelicate, or offend anyone, but does it seem that, even out of the water, Madison might have a certain....unpleasant odor about her?

Finding true love can be happiness. He's been wanting to fall in love all his life and he has found her at last. I can imagine that he can get a happy ending, all puns considered.

Show me the holes!

Lol...

Like Madison said at the end of Splash Too when asked how mermaids have babies...: "You'll see, you'll see..."

reply

That's easy, they go to an island where she can dry off and get her legs back.
