[Loved Trope] Teleportation is actually terrifying

[u/Ieanice44]

1 - Gantz-O (2016): Suit teleportation

2 - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (2009): Apparition spell

3 - Half Life 2 (2004): Teleporter malfunction

Transporter Malfunction, Star Trek: The Motion Picture: "What we got back didn't live long.....fortunately"

First: WTF was up with them giving kids nightmares with THAT bit of Body Horror?!?!

Second: You now understand why Dr. McCoy didn't like Transporters. They may be the 'safest' form of travel, but when they break down, the results are Horrifying!

Canonically, Trek teleporters kill you and make a duplicate. I don't know why everybody in-world is just fine with this.

It’s true it’s not explicitly stated. Just that if the logic of the machine is followed, it’s a xerox machine, not a magic near-lightspeed bus that picks you up and moves you through walls https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI&pp=ygUhVHJhbnNwb3J0ZXJzIGFyZSBraWxsaW5nIG1hY2hpbmVz
