When I post it, in a near-identical formulation, suddenly his behavior is just "poor writing" and I'm "reading too much into it" and you seize upon minutiae to falsely dispute - in the same post, no less! Maybe in the future instead of obviously posting your replies based on who you're replying to, you could make them in two consecutive posts to disguise your naked trolling and lack of interest in any sincere discussion, on such a pithy subject as a movie no less.
Where Kraco tries to explain his mentality, which would be understandable as the ship's captain and because people are full of shit, you try to justify with unsupported claims about his military background. It's possible Kraco's explanation is correct, and it's just as possible it's shitty writing. Your explanation is out in left field.

They could have done so much as far as story to lead up to someone explaining the purpose of the planet for the viewers. They got lazy and made Janek explain it just as a plot point. That's what makes me upset about the movie.
