Benders eyelids

[on:]

It just ocurred to me that that solid metal plate that slides over his eyes has no place to go.

that's one thing I love about Bender, his eyes.

They big round and cute

Sure it does.  It's like a garage door.

maybe he's a MAGIC robot!

[Reply #4 on:]

Or perhaps a robotic WIZARD!

i agree with Nix, its the g/d affect, they just "bend" and slide back .

So... this is realistic, down-to-earth show that's totally off the wall and swarming with magic robots?

And you should be able to win prizes!

But with a garage door you see the parts where the material "corners".

Benders eyelids are completely flat.

It's the future, it doesn't need corners.

All it needs is a Speedo Man.

'Praps it is a holographic image. Which would explain his ability to see through it.

It's like a stiff garage door.  It doesn't bend, it just goes back at an angle.

[Reply #12 on:]

<Bevis>Heh, heh, you said "stiff"</Bevis>

Nope, sorry Rachel_D, but the cover of his eyes goes straight up, no angle.

But all in all, who really cares?  Bender's eyecover doesn't take away the humorossity that is Futurama...  I love making up my own words...

Who says they can't have flexible solid metal in the future?

[Reply #14 on:]

i say it is flexible metal in the style of a sheet of aluminum foil.  It simply rolls up.  BAM!

No they arent flat. If they is, why can Bender "Zoom in" or what you call it, if they were flat?

We're talking about the eye lid here.  Just making sure you're on the same page.

[Reply #17 on:]

 Hi well erm bender has an eye lid
 notice it moves down like a blind does
 simple it folds up at the top of his eyes

[Reply #18 on:]

hehe, i love it when bender closes his eyes when he's about to do something "dramatic" 

[Reply #19 on:]

btw, welcome to PEEL, gluefish!

Hmmm Benders eyes thats a confuseing one...in a scene when Roberto was Breaking bender out we see half his Eyecover opens at an weird angle...it was the Burse THE WIZARD OF UU!!!!

So let me get this straight, Bender is a magic robot in a realistic down to earth show, and has a wizard in his head. Said wizard has a timeshare apartment in the discworld, and this affects only the small metal plate that covers Benders eyes.

I think that it's probably just a feature of animation, it isn't 100% realistic, and anyways, the metal plate slides down behind the faceguard, meaning that it can probably fit inside his head somewhere WITHOUT bending or folding or rolling.

Nixorbo was right. The future really has no need for corners.

strangely that made sence to me.....

Maybe it's just an holographic projection, and Bender can actually see true it. In "The Problem with Popplers" he took out his eyes when he didn't wanna see "something horrible", insted of closing his eyelids.
