My introduction to unobtanium was The Core, which is a bad movie, but one of my favorite movies lol

I think it's silly that they used the term as a term in a movie like that when it's a trope term, but we have billionaires naming surveillance companies Palantir and the tunneling companies Boring Company. It feels somewhat accurate in that sense. Someone sort of vaguely nerdy, out of touch, and giving something a name that's just way way way too on the nose.

That still pisses me off. I get the reference, and it's still stupid. Then again so are the humans in that movie. They just had to nudge an asteroid so that it hit the area, then moved in with no local xenos or wildlife anywhere nearby. Nobody ever should have had to fight a single space smurf. I hate poorly written villains.
