If we don't find aliens soon, someone needs to send up a secret satellite, that randomly broadcasts messages about the imminent arrival of the most evil aliens in the galaxy.
- Terr_ 11y agoBasically the plot to Watchmen.
- roghummal 11y agoThe film ruined the ending.
- sandGorgon 11y agoActually I thought the film had the better ending. A giant fish like monster that could be sold as an alien invasion is less plausible than a radiation signature that matches Dr. Manhattan.
- roghummal 11y agoThe way I see it, it comes down to external vs. internal threat. As campy as the terrible interdimensional creepy things are, they are a clear external threat to the people of Earth. Making Dr. Manhattan the fall guy internalizes the threat as he is-was "of us". With Dr. Manhattan as the patsy you get some superficial solidarity while every nation tries their hardest to recreate him--to obtain their own WMD+/God. With the terrible interdimensional creepy things humanity faces a clear external threat; Unite, people of Earth, for the Universe will fucking eat you. Maybe the monsters could've been done in a way that wouldn't have people laughing at their implausibility. Using Dr. Manhattan destroyed the message. The film's ending wasn't worth the sacrifice, IMHO.

- brianwawok 11y agoA fake external threat would only last a few years at best.
- EliRivers 11y agoThe fake external threat of terrorism destroying western society has been running for over a decade.
