Thread 512879573

What SF doomsday scenario is the most realistic/probable ? Terminator, Resident Evil, Matrix, Metro, War of the worlds, etc ?

>>512879573 (OP)

War of the Worlds but it is just Deep Impact. Or standalone Deep Impact.

>>512879573 (OP)
Terminator and maybe matrix in the sense that AI could want to use biological computers made from neurons in a petridish form.

>>512879573 (OP)
the road

Scarcity-related ones, probably. A Children of Men scenario related to untested mRNA vaccinations or microplastics is not only the most likely, it's actually plausible right now considering the massive dropoff on fertility rates this generation.

Don't Look Up and Idiocracy.

The Stand

There's no drop off in fertility. People learned from their parents that having kids can suck. Student debt = people dont want to raise a family.

I should watch that movie again

>children of men
>no women can give births
>only one brown one

>>512882544
Student debt is strictly an American problem

go read the book instead

fallout, but replace oil with industrial metals

>>512879573 (OP)
Super Mario Brothers movie the fakest. Mad Max second fakest. Escape from Los Angles the most realistic lol.

>>512884173
I've put Cormac McCarthy on the back-burner for years. I don't know why I haven't gotten to it. Everybody says that Blood Meridian is a must-read.

>>512879573 (OP)
All the end of the world movies.

>>512879573 (OP)
After all Escape from Los Angles was making fun of all of the crazy folks in California decades ago. And most of Los Angles basin will become an Island north to San Francisco peninsula.

Snow piercer. I absolutely believe that they will screw with the weather and do more harm than good.

>>512879573 (OP)
Terminator except the war lasts less than 5 minutes and humans lose

>>512884679
I do enjoy frozen world scenarios. I played frost-punk dor that reason. I like the cast system in Snow piercer, but there's no way a functioning railroad will still exist. I'd be more The Colony (2013

>>512879573 (OP)
The Birds 1963

AI or Bioweapons are my top concerns Nuclear War still holds the #3 spot.. I'd say bioweapons are probably my top concern, the technology is here all it takes is for someone crazy enough to use it.

the marix except without all the cool stuff and instead everyone is just put in pods only much much worse

>>512885303
Kek.

>>512882466

The latter is not implausible.

>>512882341

It would likely end in Idiocracy.

>>512885327

Jup, could cause a hard setback, worse than nukes by my guesstimate. Not extinction unless someone found a way to fumigate the whole world with a very high lethality pathogen.

Omega man

One white man left on earth with brown zombie hordes

Terminator mixed with fallout. Skynet goes live in 2025 and the future war takes place in 2029. In Fallout the poster for Vegas is in 2025. Trump threatening to annex Canada and Mexico. US and China resources wars, etc.

Honestly I think Hollywood knows all this shit and gives us multiple branching options. Thing is something is big going to happen soon by 2030. It could be something as simple as another 9/11 but still everything has been predicting it.

Planet of Apes obviously.

>>512879573 (OP)
Brave New World

The railroad is a gimmick, I agree.
