He and Elio strike up an adorable friendship because they\u2019re both outcasts who haven\u2019t had many friends in the past; Elio always has his head in the clouds (he lays around, eagerly waiting to be abducted), and Glordon\u2019s father seems to be an evil alien overlord bent on taking over the galaxy (and turning Glordon into a great warrior).
