    Isn’t that the plot to one of the Highlander movies?

      Maybe you’re thinking of Who Shot Mr Burns? I know you’re not, but The Simpsons definitely did it.

        Nope, Highlander II: the quickening, from 1991 is what I was thinking of.

    I remember how in The Matrix movies, humans blocked out the sun to stop the computers from taking over. Looks like we’re going to ask them whether or not that’s a good plan first in our timeline.
