oh come on, that's just patheitic.
Kugai:
I think they're watching ID4
Delirium:
Now, see, in the case of ID4, we don't know what the aliens were after, so there could be any number of explanations for why they didn't just bombard us. Maybe they wanted the planet or something on it intact. Maybe they were testing weaponry on us. Maybe they were hunting us for sport, or just wanted to be up close and personal whilst they crushed us like bugs. Maybe they had some kind of code of honor or religious restriction from using orbital weaponry.
Mr_Rose:
It's actually quite likely their crazy space-lasers just don't work at orbital distances; that's a lot of atmosphere for a beam to diffuse through. And possibly they'd consider rocks to crude and inaccurate.
I mean, there was clearly a coherent plan there; wipe out the majority of the population and industrial infrastructure whilst leaving the rest of the atmosphere relatively intact. It looks more like an "invade and enslave" gig than straight up genocide.
WestEnder67:
Is it just me who thinks Thumblord Pintsize looks cooler with more human arms?
Makes me wonder if Jeph is planning to go all Bicentennial Man/Pinnochio with Pintsize.
Except rather than an extendable nose... (I think you can imagine where I'm going with this.)
