You apparently don't understand that argument very well. The argument isn't that it makes no sense for him to go back and forth if he can. The argument is that it makes no sense to teleport once and travel the second time.
You're assuming a lot with that statement. By that logic it makes no sense for Nightcrawler to ever travel other than by the means of teleporting, yet I've seen him walk, run, jump, etc plenty of times. I understand the argument quite well, EVIL. My point is we don't know anything about the SS or Gah Lak Tus other than they're apparently some bad mamma-jammas. Why was SS launched instead of teleported? I don't know, and neither do you. Does the fact that he was racing toward Earth negate the fact he can teleport and did so after the Cap/Falcon fight? Absolutely not.
If he teleported back to Gah Lak Tus, he would have come back by teleporting back to earth.
Says you. Again, your logic in that seems not only limited but faulty as well. Perhaps he really was hurt in the fight with Cap and Falcon, so teleported to get out of there as fast as possible. Perhaps the only reason he was launched at Earth after Prof. X made contact with Gah Lak Tus was for dramatic build-up by the author as opposed to any of his powers not being used or not being possessed.
You are saying he teleported back to Gah Lak Tus but chose to travel back to earth.
I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying we don't know what he's capable of yet and to say he definitively can't do something is ignorant.
Is your imagination that limited? Like I said, maybe he was actually phased or hurt in the fight with Cap and Sam, so got out of there as fast as he could...through teleporting. Maybe Gah Lak Tus was calling him back urgently so he returned that way. Maybe the teleportation effect is limited and can only be used in extreme circumstances. Who the **** knows? But given any of those, it still makes no sense to you? Ok...
Especially since he couldn't get intercepted while going back to Gah lak Tus (no one fast enough on Earth) but could while coming back to Earth. Therefore, if he were to teleport just once, it should have been while coming back to Earth.
Again, your logic is skewed, especially since you have no clue what Gah Lak Tus's motives are other than to suck Earth dry. And you say if he were to teleport just once, it should be on the way to Earth? Why? It seemed he was launched as either a defensive measure or pre-emptive attack (more likely given Prof X only tried to communicate with Big G). Sure, teleporting would be faster in that sense, but again, the dramatic build-up (something author's like to take advantage of) would have been lost...this is what you seem to be overlooking. Sometimes stuff happens in fictional stories not with real-world logic in mind, but merely for dramatic effect.
Occam's razor stipulate that you shouldn't multiply needlessly entity (in this case, powers of SS). If he didn't teleport toward Earth, it's safest to assume that it's because he can't.
Or is limited. Or again, it was merely a tool used by Ellis.
You're reading way too much into this anyway, dude.
As a side-argument, the need to travel back to Gah Lak Tus assumes that his agents are incapable to communicate with him over distance. Seems unlikely.
Again, this is only assuming he traveled back to communicate something. You're not thinking openly here. Like I said, what if he traveled back to heal up, or recharge, or whatever it is he does?
