Metal Tornado sounds awesome and Love just sounds incompetent, like they knew what moon is about and tried to emulate its plot. So sorry A&A but no your movie sounds stupid. #metaltornado

Thrash metal bands take notice: write a song about metal tornadoes. Now! #metaltornado

@Post-Nuked: "Tornado" by Voivod. greatest thrash song ever, although it's not about metal tornados. it just is one.

@SpammerOvTheGods:
It sounds like perfect material for a band like Manowar. If anyone could write about metal tornadoes, they could. I should check out some more Voivod, though. #metaltornado

Metal tornadoes? No problem. What we need here is for one of those scientists to resurrect Pecos Bill and get him a magnetic lasso. Yup, that'd do the trick. #metaltornado

They discovered the magnetic tornadoes on MERCURY?!? You know it was written by somebody who had no idea what goes on on other planets with that. I would have accepted Venus as being plausible (since we know relatively little about Venus and it has a really volatile atmosphere), as well as Jupiter or any of the other Gas Giants, for the same reasons. Heck, Mars is in that "Okay, maybe" range since it is covered in iron dust and has all those dust devil. Unless your going to tell me it's because it's so close to sun, I'm just going to shake my head and be woeful about people not even being remotely aware of reality. #metaltornado

@comics0026: I would have even accepted magnetic tornadoes ON THE SUN.
Probably too big though. #metaltornado

@Dresan: I was going to say "You know what happens to metal when it's exposed to the kind of tempertures on the SUN right?"

but for some reason that lead to the even more awesome idea of LAVA TORNADOES. Tornadoes made of lava. I then thought of only one way to make them even more awesome: Invoke Deep Blue Sea logic, make them smart, and include LL Cool J and Samuel L Jackson. #metaltornado

@comics0026: You have to turn off the ability to mock the science and enjoy it for stupid fun that it is. We know that there won't be metal tornados but a lot of people will walk away thinking "Holy shit I hope that never happens" much in the same way people felt when 2012 was overand wondering what would happen if the Earth's core melted because of neutrinos. To the average joe it sounds perfectly logical and they believe that neutrinos could in fact melt the core of our planet. Of course anyone who has the internet and working brain would google neutrino and find out they pass through us and the planet all the time.

@Evdor: Lava tornado's sound a fuck ton cooler than metal tornado's, but what about,

wait for it,

LASER TORNADO's! #metaltornado

@Evdor: If you super heat metal in a high magnetic field wouldn't you end up with Sentient Plasma Tornadoes ... and once they get up to a big enough size the develop a black hole at the eye which transports things to an alternate dimension (goatee beard rule) where LL Cool J and Samuel L Jackson have to fight there evil selves in order to return all the things from earth back through the dimensional rifts and turn the Sentient Plasma Tornadoes against their evil creators. #metaltornado

@Evdor: Oh no no. See, from what I understood from the article, the tornadoes are magnetic in nature, so on earth they manifest as metal tornadoes because we couldn't see them otherwise.
So they CAN exist on the sun (following this logic). Maybe.

But lava tornadoes. Dear God.
At the end though, LL Cool J would stab them in the eye. All 256 of them.
And before the credits, we would see a little baby lava tornado hatch from its egg...

OMG SEQUELS.
