Wait, where’s the part where Joe Rogan joins forces with the alien after “doing his own research”?

Isn’t this the plot of Watchmen?
It’s the last couple pages of Watchmen, not really the plot overall. It’s the villain’s secret end goal that wasn’t really foreshadowed very well? (The movie tried to do better in this regard)
It kind of was, but only if you already know what Alan Moore was smoking.
I thought it was foreshadowed in retrospect, like, you’re not supposed to figure it out in advance but when you look back you see all the clues and pieces and that it was there the whole time
Spoilers
Alan Moore would like a word with you.
Obviously this is not based on Alan Moore’s work, there’s no sexual assault in it.
If there’s one thing I don’t criticize Moore for it’s having his men with power act like men with power

This is why I like the Flashman books.
They are pretty much the only historical novels I’ve read where the colonizers are portrayed realistically
Well, COVID has already shown us what really happens when a greater force comes and threatens humanity…
but consider that diseases do not have a physical form that we are able to shoot at

I don’t know… At this point I think you’d have the blister deniers and then they’d try to treat it with cornstarch and toenail clippings. And some aspiring group of power hungry assholes would turn the blister mongers against the pure skinned to create a divide they could monetize.
Scary to think we might be on the best timeline.

Also climate collapse
Yeap
The criminally insane start screeching and half of humanity applauds them because reasons
Colonization 101.
Say you’re a conqueror and you pull up on an island with three tribes. The Lions are 75% of the population and control 95% of the wealth; the Tigers are 22% and control 4%. The Bears are 3% of the people and have 1% of the wealth.
You, the colonizer, give the Bears weapons and let them keep 2% of the money. You keep 98%.
The Lions and Tigers hate the Bears way more than they hate you.

Extremely valuable intel here. A tentacle could actually produce a thumbs-up gesture, if you think about it.

They will fight about who of them offed the aliens and won: Someone definitely did more than the rest, and this someone is most obviously me! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
“[out group] isn’t doing their part in defending against this threat!”
“We need to give these [threat] sympathizers equal air time.”
“Doesn’t [threat] deserve rights?”
Robbers Cave experiment, anyone?
Ronald Reagan, is that you?
