Outsmarting the aliens is not a good thing in sci fi

Did you even watch the quiet place movies? The death angels are (almost assuredly) not intelligent. They are just from far off planet where only tank level stats allow you to survive, their planet blew up, they managed to survive on a flying chunk of the planet through the vaccuum of space and then infested earth which is a level 1 starting zone compared to their planet.

Your criticism of Signs is valid and recognized though.

The funniest alien quality I have seen wasn't in an invasion film. The quality was that milk made them drunk off their ass and trip balls.
They should do an invasion film like that. All the aliens are cracked out addicts trying to get fresh pure milk for that drug trip.

If they were on Earth for million of years they would know about viruses and that they can kill. So they come off as a bunch of idiots. In the original they come from Mars, bring livestock they drain for blood and start to terraform Earth. Just like in the movies sickness kills them in the end, but it can be argued that they have no idea what disease are.

Something I thought about the Quiet place if the Aliens attack anything louder than a whisper, wouldn’t they be attacking people that fart while pooping or fart and snore as they sleep? Also while humans know to be quiet, animals don’t. You’re telling me that these aliens would just be violently attacking random birds and insects that make loud noises. Same with the city movie air conditioner units alone makes tons of noise. So would those aliens be taking time to attack 1000 ac units mounted to windows in the city? See how incredibly retarded this idea is?

I don't know, it could be they took tons of precautions but they weren't enough. Maybe they had an alien scifi super drug that they thought would make them immune, but they underestimated the viruses. Maybe they had a scifi shield which was supposed to prevent microorganisms from getting through, but one managed to get through anyways. It's basically just "life finds a way." They figured that they would have to try their best to survive earth viruses but they failed. Just like humans will throw away their lives in the pursuit of something new
>>

Yes. the creature doesn't make sense to a fundamental level.

btw in my headcanon, the prawns from District 9 are just the [N WORD] from their own planet that have been sent into space by the > 200 IQ white prawns who were tired of being brutally murdered on the train. Prawn Trump did this.
And of course the 110 IQ white humans offered them shelter instead of sending them somewhere else.

No they planned their invasion long ago, not the aliens waited dormant.

There were thawed water bears in Captain America or you mean it happened on a NatGeo documentary about extremophiles?
>>
>>214419739
Everything except the time travel is well within the realm of possibility, laser dogs were sent to space before people were, so why wouldn't they be sent to other planets first too?

>>214419124
Aliens aren’t real. Science fiction is supposed to be social commentary. You watched a monster movie
>>
>>214419867
Maybe the movie had social commentary that went over your head.
>>
>>214419807
The only thing that doesn't make sense about what you said is time travel because nonsensical paradox is inherent in time travel, but there are still more time travel movies and you seem to think time travel is more plausible than water bears.

aliens would be too smart to reproduce for more than a few thousands of years after becoming really smart (if that) so that's why it's almost impossible we'd really see them

Again it is still dumb because they have million years to prepare, hell they could prepare themselves in hundreds if they just looked at humans, kidnap a few of them test on them make vaccines and conquer the planet. Since they didn't do that the aliens couldn't monitor the planet, no way to transfer data over distance, which is stupid, or they had to conquer Earth at that exact moment, which is also stupid since the watcher needs to make up an explanation.
>>
>>214419124
They're dumb animals. I watched all three movies and they're not even cunning predators they're just mindless, easily outsmarted brutes that smash anything they can hear. They never developed FTL technology fragments of their rogue hellplanet smashed into earth.

Problem solved.

Doesn't the movie imply that they're basically just the retard worker caste and the alien higher ups who were driving the ship died off, leaving them to drift through space aimlessly?
It's been a while since I've seen it so I can't quite remember.

>>214420097
As another anon said they seem to be able to ignore environmental noise or the ones in the first movie would spend all their time pointlessly attacking that waterfall.

An etymologist at the beginning suggests that but given that Christopher is not physiologically distinct from the dumb prawns it seems to just have been a matter of education. The other prawns were just poor and never went to college.

>Then why say "they should do a film like this"
I didn't. I said they should do an invasion film like this. That film isn't an invasion film. Garbage reading comprehension little bro.

But District 9 is an invasion film. Seems like your comprehension is trash...
>>
>>214420214

not really, the bugs are space refugees
>>
>>214420235
The film in the OP is the aliens being literal refugees floating in space after their planet blew up, too.

They're not refugees they're stupid animals.

How is that possible if water kills them and 70% of earth's surface is water?
>>
>>214420175
only if you could somehow make it sound like it was coming from every direction, but if you suddenly just start playing loud rain sounds from a speaker they'll probably attack it
>>
>>214420012
While you attempting to change the subject from water bears to time travel was definitely nonsequitur goal post moving, I don't seen how it was deflection or turning the tables.

>>214420273
Water doesn't kill them they just can't swim because they're so heavy.

I didn't, actually. I made fun of a monster movie I didn't watch but knew the bare minimum factoids about, and I was wildly successful at it.

Ok, let me reword it. How did they take over earth when 70% of the planet's surface is impassable terrain for them?
>>

>cept environmental sources
>you can't also copy/mimic said sources it just wouldnt work!
sounds like shite to me
>>
>>214420433
that's absurd from an evolutionary standpoint and even if it was the case, how tf do you travel in space without isolating yourself from the outside?
>>
>>214420458
70% of the planet's surface is impassable to us, too.
>>
>>214420518
>that's absurd from an evolutionary standpoint
Depends on how they evolved and where they evolved; it's fucking sci-fi.
Maybe they are the only living thing on their planet? Maybe they found a way to kill all forms of bacteria and viruses on their planet millennia ago, so they didn't even conceive of it being a thing when it comes to invasion?
>how tf do you travel in space without isolating yourself from the outside?
We see them exiting the ships and roaming around on their own without a care for biosafety - they probably caught it then.
>>
>>214420608
>it's fucking sci-fi.

No, they never fly. Just climb like crazy, can smash through a foot of solid steel, can survive explosions, jump super high, etc. No swimming or flying though
>>
>>214420729
>t. someone who likes to think they are smarter than everyone else
If you can't explain it to a 5-year-old, then you didn't have a very good understanding of the topic to begin with.
Also, not a great sign of intelligence is the snap judgments and insults, and inability to hold conversations on hypotheticals, but keep believing what you want to believe, senpai.

Water bears exist partially because being tiny as shit makes the whole deal work for them. When it comes to fauna the general rule is that complexity scales with size. An animal being as insanely sturdy as a death angel to the point that they somehow aren’t killed unless they drown or open their face plates while also having a complex physical structure is retarded. I can accept them tanking a bullet, what I can’t accept is them somehow also tanking compression waves from said bullet hitting them as that force generally treats things like physical protection as a minor suggestion. And that’s just factoring in shit like bullets or explosions. The sheer amount of punishment that hurtling from space inside a giant rock that breaks the sound barrier at some point during entry and impacts into the planet should liquify them outright.
