Line 132:
** Only one planet? It was used at least twice: one for Dark Matter, another for ice. Both imploded.
*** I think the object they mined all the ice from was Halley's Comet; not sure if it imploded or not, but the trope remains.
* Futurama did this again, using a whole race of [[Justice League (animation)|Braniac-like]] floating-brain aliens, dedicated to learning everything in the universe, turning all sentient life into morons, and then destroying it.
* An episode of ''[[Superfriends]]'' featured lion-like aliens who were plotting to chop the Earth into chunks, which would then be sold to various other races (all wanting different things, iron, water, etc.). Of course, the Super Friends have a little problem with this kind of entrepreneurship...
* An episode of ''[[Mighty Max]]'' features aliens who invade Earth to steal its toxic waste, which apparently they can use for beneficial methods. When Max eventually figures that out, he pretends to surrender and agrees that Earth will give them a periodic tribute, figuring that it makes no sense to fight over something humans don't even want anyway.
