Skyline/WMG: Difference between revisions

== [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] + [[Human Aliens]] + [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]] = Skyline ==

So, here's this fleet of warmachines that are not only processed by human brains, but also seem to be [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|powered by brains]]. That has got to be a pretty damn specific design, and there's only a few ways a race with that level of technology could know enough about a human brain to make their machines interface with them THAT well. 1.) They've been here before. I don't like this option, because it means that they'll be here again, but why did they need to come back? Humans can be bred, but there's always the possibility of a plague, cataclysm, shipping error, whatever, I guess. 2.) [[Human Aliens|The aliens are biologically identical to humans]], and this is them drafting new units for some war effort. This is how their technology is so closely attuned to our biology and can use it as a processor / battery. Plus, it's a lot easier to justify a questionable military technology to the local populace when you can tell them it's another planet being razed for the resources. [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|It isn't their people getting slaughtered, and they have a war that needs to be fought, so it was an acceptable option, because humans are bastards even if they're not from Earth.]]

** Here's a variant theory. What if the aliens ''weren't'' here to invade, but to communicate, the initial abductions simply a matter of study and working out a way to facilitate communication between species? Every human character we see in the movie is basically a shallow, reprehensible dick. And let's face it, the world is ''full'' of dicks. When the alien machines absorbed human brains to function as processors, they also became assholes, leading to a peaceful alien mission with a bit of [[Blue and Orange Morality]] rapidly becoming an invasion due to their technology running on the brains of jerks. [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] ''directly leading to'' [[Aliens Are Bastards]].
