Earth Is the Center of the Universe: Difference between revisions

** This was toyed around with in ''[[Beast Wars]]'', as the Maximals and Predacons don't know what planet they crash landed on. Yeah Megatron was aiming for Earth, but there are two moons. Dinobot defects thanks to this. {{spoiler|Actually, they got the right place. But not the right time. Oops!}}

*** {{spoiler|Actually the plot was to travel to some point in the past and off Optimus Prime while in stasis lock. It would have went off without a hitch had it not been for Optimus Primal and the fact that the Vok were messing around in Earth's primordial past.}}

*** It is also where the lost Iacon artifacts were ''[[Beyond the Impossible|all]]'' hidden.

* The reason for so many aliens coming to Earth in ''[[Ben 10]]'' is the show's [[MacGuffin]]: the Omnitrix. However, the film "Secret of the Omnitrix" suggests another reason: the majority of aliens within the universe [[To Serve Man|find humans quite tasty]].

* ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' demonstrates this perfectly. An intergalactic criminal is put on trial and given his sentence. When he escapes from the transport, the galactic conference watches in awe as the torn up ship descends on a certain <s> planet</s> protected nature reserve in a certain solar system.

* Even though interstellar travel is commonplace and it's known that there are colonies and settlements throughout the galaxy, the Earth is still treated as the whole world in ''[[Futurama]]''. When it's conquered and/or destroyed, the characters treat it as if the whole universe has ended, such as in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela", when Leela's shown an image of Earth exploding, she laments that she and Zapp are "the last humans left in the Universe," despite knowing, for instance, that Amy Wong's parents and others live on Mars.
