they attacked population centers instead of critical infrastructure
a real alien invasion would attack systems which hold up civility in the world
they would target trade lines, energy producers and farms
once destroyed they would retreat back into space and let the resulting chaos lead to humans killing each other instead
the aliens would come back every time these systems were rebuilt to restart the chaos until all the humans have died off
it would take decades but would be the most effective way of winning

Independence Day isn't a true libtard movie. It merely adopts a few of the furnishings. It ultimately shows that aliens are a threat which vindicates the right wing view of the world that 1. foreigners/aliens are threats and 2. people should team up with those they're more genetically similar to.

Real libtard , leftoid alien movies are ones like E.T. , Super 8 (alien is a bad guy but only because humans are the real bad guys), Contact, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Arrival, Elio, etc.

Right wing alien movies are ones like Independence Day, Starship Troopers, Fire in the Sky, 3 Body Problem, Alien, etc.

any alien movie where aliens are the threat has not adopted the fundamental libtard, leftoid worldview.

>>212371642
If they're the equivalent of a swarm of locusts they would have had to move fast given their lack of means of sustainability. So killing the majority of the target world's pop and military ASAP makes sense given they were probably on the verge of starvation.

I ignore everything in the sequel.

I loved when they flew their craft back into the mothership and then put down the windshield blinds. As if they wouldn't be going

True but lots of infrastructure is in cities. Destroying farms is far more difficult than destroying a small number of regional distribution centers through which most food passes.
Drop a nuke on the capitol building in Atlanta, you don't just destroy the state, county, and city governments, you also destroy the continuity of three major interstates and several busy rail lines. We can joke about nuking Detroit being an improvement but the loss of manufacturing capabilities in that area would be a huge blow.
Same with seaports and major airports.

if their goal is exterminating the human race, then they only need to accelerate a few hundred basketball sized objects close to the speed of light and sling them at earth.
this would sterilize the entire planet and they could do it from far away with zero countermeasures on our side. we wouldn't even realize what happened

>>212376339
This wouldn't make for an entertaining movie.

It would destroy the planet though. They came to earth for resources like water.

>>212376730
there's 100x more water in the rings of saturn than on earth, le resource meme is stupid. they could harvest it literally anywhere else.

if you want to consider the second movie as canon, they specifically go for earths core (which is also stupid) but this would still allow them to glass the entire surface with relativistic shrapnel and then land when we're all cooked

The 10 minute sequence in the spaceship is masterful. I'd play the shit out of a stealth game of a guy trying to escape that ship, or a full feature movie of that premise. Every aspect of it holds up today.

>>212376841
>Every aspect of it holds up today.
Because they used practical effects and miniatures. Still looks amazing

>>212377267
I saw something like this in the bathroom of a gas station once.

>>212371642
in a real alien invasion it wouldn't matter what they did because they would be doing it from a comfortable orbit around like Saturn and we'd have literally 0 way to stop them

They wouldn't need to retreat anywhere at any point, they'd just permanently be out of reach

>>212377522

Yes, and every element was excellent. The aliens were puppets, and the people who created it did an excellent job but if the puppeteers were shit they wouldn't be believable, but they completely were. Hats off to everyone involved in that sequence. On a somewhat related and somewhat unrelated note, people dicksuck season 1 of Stranger Things hard but I will always give that season a lot of shit for copping out with the demogorgan and making it a shitty CGI thing rather than committing to being an 80s nostalgia trip with a monster made with practical effects

the basic thing about any alien encounter is that the only noteworthy thing about earth in particular is that it sustains intelligent life
as such every motivation for aliens to visit us directly involves us, and involves us in a way that's not easy for them to replicate

So what do they want from us?

Well option 1 is, they just want to meet us out of sheer curiosity, we might be the first alien culture they meet and they're excited about it, they're also an interstellar species so they don't have to fear us in any realistic way, so they're probably benevolent in this case, and they'll be blatant about arriving

Option 2 is they want to get rid of potential rivals, in which case we will literally never see them coming, they'll just hit us with a couple relativistic projectiles or else if they want to be fancy a Nicoll-Dyson beam equivalent, either way, all life on earth is wiped out before your brain can process what happened

Option 3 is they want to study us without meeting, in which case we won't notice they exist at first, however eventually we will still make contact because an interstellar species like this will have trillions of people, so if even 0.01% of them feels guilty about not sharing their tech with us, that's still millions of them working towards getting even a single technological ark through, and not care about remaining secret in this, and they'll eventually succeed or else the means by which they are stopped are apparent to us

Option 4 is we're their entertainment, be it sadistic or otherwise, but that plays out much like option 3, it's just not feasible to have an interstellar species like that without deviant thought

There's a lot of things they won't come for, slaves for example make no sense or really anything that involves abducting us, they'll have robots for that or the ability to just grow humans from tissue samples

the aliens forgot about one crucial thing
the indomitable human plot armor

>>212377843
the basic thing about any alien encounter is that the only noteworthy thing about Earth in particular is that it contains the extremely rare and singular supply in the entire universe of human buttholes

>>212377904
if aliens are interested in sex, which frankly is a realistic scenario because WE would do that, they would have 0 reason to keep themselves secret for longer than like a month in which they study human culture and realize that if they announce they exist and want to fuck us, they'd get millions of people lining up just at a chance

Hell if they wanted people to be their fuckpets they STILL get a massive lineup

And if they come for that reason, the fact that we'd line up for their kind of freak would probably make them about as positively minded to us as possible and share their tech because they want to keep us around

>>212377904

I like the one from The Expanse (spoilers):

>Aliens send out devices across the galaxy to systems with habitable conditions
>when organic life grows large enough to explore their system, they find the devices and trigger it. The device consumes most of the organic life to create a structure that opens a wormhole for the aliens to come and further colonize the system
>This system is running on autopilot since the aliens have long ago vanished
>The aliens are like energy beings and a hivemind. They sealed themselves off into a giant, Jupiter sized diamond for billions of years. This is because they pissed off another alien species in a different dimension that was killing them off. They needed a different type of alien body, something that was more rugged and non-energy so it could withstand the dimensional attacks. So their plan is to eventually be found by a sufficiently advanced organic species who believes they all come in peace. Then they will take over the organic's bodies (humans) as their own.

The integrated alien-human tech was a neat idea

reminder that she killed millions of people in this moment and the movie just let it go like nothing happened
and also she even had the gall to let the president feel guilty about it when they were on the plane
all just because she was a career woman

the sequel was even worse, in the first one you had this david vs goliath fairy tale of destroying the overwhelmingly powerful aliens with a macbook, but in the second they just shoot at the alien queen until it dies. All the countless alien species they conquered couldn't figure that out? And then of course all the other aliens suddenly die because of course they do.

It's a 90s liberal movie emphasizing Fukuyama's "the end of history" thesis. USSR was BTFO'd and there were no enemies left to make movies about anymore. The movie was the embodiment of a unipolar world where everyone bandwagoned behind the U.S. But I am pretty sure it was accidental because I do not think Emmerich could come up with that. He must have thought aliens destroying cities = cool movie.

>>212371696

>>212386400
I'd say it was a bit thought provoking. It had the idea: what if all the rumors of aliens being here were true all along, the government obviously discrediting them but having the aliens and their scout ships in Area 51, and all our advanced commonplace everyday technology being reverse engineering from the aliens. That's a neat idea. The cool biotech suits, the using backdoor radio signals to coordinate their attack globally, the whole thing was great.

>>212387257
>all our advanced commonplace everyday technology being reverse engineering from the aliens.
There's a Voyager episode that's based around the same concept. A ship from the 29th century crashed in the 1960s and all the technological leaps of the latter 20th century were reverse engineered from it.
