| Sep 13, 2019 at 8:06 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | With all due respect for all your other wonderful answers on this site, this one is quite simply completely wrong. | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 21:38 | comment | added | RonJohn | @Valorum you're absolutely wrong about this. The definition of the adjective "android" is "having human characteristics or form; resembling human beings." dictionary.com/browse/humanoid The suffix -oid means "Of similar form to, but not the same as." en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-oid | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 14:03 | comment | added | Valorum | @NuclearWang - lol. I don't consider someone with four functional arms as humanoid. | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | @Valorum So you do not consider conjoined twins, or people with polymelia to be human? | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 13:43 | comment | added | Valorum | @NuclearWang - Humans don't typically have 4 working arms. That's not even close to being "humanoid" | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 13:33 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | Completely agree with @motoDrizzt - in all of those frames, the T-1000 resembles a human, which is the definition of "humanoid" - it does not require two arms, two legs, ten fingers, etc. It just has to resemble a human, which the T-1000 clearly does most of the time. There are humans out there with no arms or extra arms, are you suggesting that they are not just non-human, but not even humanoid? | |
| Sep 11, 2019 at 8:45 | comment | added | Luaan | @motoDrizzt The first image distinctly shows a different skeletal structure to humans. The second doesn't even have opposable thumbs. The third has four arms. And remember it passing through bars? The default body shape is human, because it's primary function is infiltration. We have no idea what the real limitations of the "body" are - remember that it took its appearance from other humans. But in the end, in all these scenes, it changed the body to suit its current purpose. Why change parts that don't need changing? | |
| Sep 11, 2019 at 7:51 | comment | added | motoDrizzt | Downvote. None of this examples is non-humanoid. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 22:36 | comment | added | computercarguy | @Valorum, ever heard of Doc Ock or Goro? ;-) Also Abby and Brittany Hensel had a 3rd arm they had removed, for a reason I can't remember, other than it being basically useless. I know you were being humorous, but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymelia | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 21:19 | comment | added | DrSheldon | Could you please identify the scene with the four hands? | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:08 | comment | added | Barmar | Consider Inspector Gadget -- isn't he humanoid? | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:07 | comment | added | Barmar | I haven't, but if someone were born with that mutation I wouldn't think they weren't humanoid. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:07 | comment | added | Valorum | @Barmar - And the last time you saw someone with 4 arms? | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:00 | comment | added | Barmar | Humanoid doesn't mean that it's identical to humans, just similar, and minor differences like these don't conflict with it. The $6M Man could also run really fast, and amputees have hooks in place of hands. | |
