I think it’s honestly sad how people think aliens would invade and overthrow us. We have so many conflicts on this planet that we just assume other planets would be imperialistic as well.
Sure, i think nowadays we call them trolls. And i’m sure fighting for humanity sounds better than the realities would imply. But 100% is still high, i would like to see how the question was formulated and the sample selected. Unless they were at a wh40k convention, i would still doubt the result.
Heavily depends on the planet and the aliens. I’m not about to kill cute peaceful molerat people on a desert rock of a planet. This sounds like terrible time to me. If it’s some sort of Strogg situation on a decent Earth-like world though count me in.
Nothing would please our billionaire overlords more than all of us “little people” getting the hell off earth for another planet. It’s unlikely anything comparable to the paradise of this planet, even in a global warming event or an ice age, will be reachable any time soon.
Mars One https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_One received over 200,000 applications for a one-way ticket to Mars & raised money way too easily, before going bankrupt.
Have you ever watched The Mist? it would be a nightmare to get captured alive by those horrifying spiders
For anyone that doesn’t know, the spiders size varies from a tarantula to a dog, and they reproduce by inserting hundreds of eggs inside you, they then eat you alive inside out when hatching
The movie was all right, but the finale was terrible. The short story ending was much scarier (and what’s more, would have left the door wide open for a sequel—I don’t know what the hell they were thinking with the ending as written).
I hated the movie ending. Short story ending is way better. Best way to watch the movie is just turn it off when they leave the grocery store then it bearable.
Been a while since I’d thought about it, so I looked up some articles about it. They all seemed to think the film’s ending was bleak, whereas the story’s was hopeful. That wasn’t at all how I remembered it, so I went back and re-read the story. All the articles seemed to miss the idea that in the story, there was no National Guard coming to the rescue. There’s no indication that the mist has any end, or that civilization’s existing power structures have survived. The protagonist hears (or hallucinates) a single garbled word over the radio—that’s the entirety of the hope on offer. A disappointing example of popular literary criticism.
The ending of the movie is a bit shitty… Dude just had to wait like 10 more minutes and would have been fine. But they just had to use those last 3 bullets burning a hole in their pocket. The book ending still sounds better than that.
Mist everywhere, monsters big as buildings roaming around, as well as small dangerous ones; Car is dead; No immediate supplies; You’ve seen what those things can do and how they can make you suffer before you die; No foreseeable hope that any human forces can help you. Got a gun that can end It all with no suffering.
The bitter aftertaste, when the dispair takes place is, chefs kiss. Not every story needs a happy ending.
