What Space Camp forum would be complete without a place to talk about one of the best/worst movies of all time, SpaceCamp, as well as all Space Camp references in pop culture.

Jinx Cute or annoying?

Post by Boomerang »

Ok if you cant tell yet i'm obviously really bored here at school today so here is a new poll for everyone. Did you find the robot Jinx in the movie Space Camp cute or did you think he was moderately annoying or worse yet was he the Jar Jar Binks of Space camp?

He was slightly annoying, but without him, how could the curtain fail? Their adventures as astronauts might have been limited to sims without him!

Um... :idea: The curtain could just fail by itself... most accidents are not planned. Does this make Jinx a little terrorist?

OK true but he still had some comic relief value not that the movie needed it. The whole movie was pretty rediculous but i still love it.

I suppose it was good for the stoto have such a host of diverse characters, to show that everyone has something to contribute. Everyone came to space camp for their own reasons and they all left having contributed something that saved the lives of the crew. Even Jinx, who was considered a "misfit" because he took everything too literally, proved to be useful because of that very "flaw." We could all learn something from that.
