They Live!/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: How truly evil are the aliens supposed to be? Despite the fact they are obviously manipulating humanity, they don't do anything overtly malevolent throughout the film, with most of those actions actually being done [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|by humans themselves.]] Why do they bother telling humans about the conspiracy? It's clear they ''don't'' need to reveal themselves, else why bother with the hypnotic signal in the first place? Also much of what we are told about them is contradictory at best, such as the scientist's idea they're their xenoforming Earth's atmosphere to match their homeworld, [[Fridge Logic|which begs the question]] of ''why'', given that they easily can survive Earth's own atmosphere anyway? And if humans are as equally disgusting to them as they are to us and they wish us to reproduce, why would the alien during [[The Stinger]] be screwing a human?
