Sure, but in any practical sense it is a temperature. It would be silly to say space isn’t cold (or hot depending) from a regular person’s perspective. Thermal balance creates an effective temperature, even if it wouldn’t be described as a temperature within some technical frame of reference.
Heat transfer by radiation complicates things. We lose the majority of our heat that way, and we’d lose a lot more if every cubic inch of the spaces we inhabit weren’t flooded with thermal radiation from the objects that surround us.
You can absolutely judge the temperature of a volume, vacuum or not, by its radiation content at any given moment.
Of course, but ignoring such basic physics does look silly as hell when you notice it, especially when it doesn’t feel intentional.
Your logic could be applied to make the suit do literally anything, but I’ll bet if it had the power to grant three wishes you’d find it silly too. And that would at least be an intentional choice rather than feeling like an oversight.
Superman is even less close to reality, but it still looks funny to me when he picks up a building and somehow it doesn’t collapse. Does he have magic powers to give the building walls super strength? Or did the writers not think beyond “Supes strong, Supes pick up big heavy.” It felt very silly once I happened to think about it.
Doesn’t make either of them bad, just makes me chuckle.
I think the complaint is that the suit accelerates toward the alien when the opposite must be true.
Yes, Kabosu was a gem.
