It’s the story of a man with no scientific background using sheer wealth to make more experienced people create something to his inexperienced specifications. A manchild who may not be consciously malicious and is fully convinced he’s making the world a better place, but has no healthy respect for the natural world and no concern for the potential danger to human life nor the environmental ramifications.
It’s not dinosaurs, but we’ve now lived to see people actually get wealthy enough to do things that big and they are every bit as foolish and doomed. I wish it could have at least been dinosaurs.
Fun fact, Jaws and the entire Alien franchise can also be seen as a criticism on capitalism and labor exploitation.
It’s a special illustration used with my graphic design in another production by VVGO (Virtual Video Game Orchestra) : “Then Were Created The Gods In The Midst Of Heaven” from ABZÛ featuring composer Austin Wintory and 209 community recordings! Thanks to this unique virtual choir & orchestra underwater performance -> [link]I found myself swimming (and singing) in the great waters of Abzu again..
If you go the website didthanoskill.me you will find out if you survived Thanos attack. I was spared. Great, I can’t even die in the fictional alien attack :/
Spock has a tendency sometimes to make wild leaps of logic unjustified by the available information, and it’s even worse when Kirk eggs him on.
The flying pizza monsters of Operation Annihilate are pretty different to any other known lifeform. But they’re not even as different as, say, the Horta, and no one suggested that might have come from a whole other galaxy. It’s not weird to find life on other planets that evolved along a completely different pathway to humans; in fact, it’s far weirder that there are so many humanoids in the galaxy. So weird that the Preservers will be invented in season 3 to explain them.
But ok, let’s say the flying pizza monsters did originate from another galaxy. Imagine they infected a super-advanced species capable of traveling the 2.5 million light years from Andromeda, our closest galaxy. This wouldn’t really help this argument, because the same physical laws that apply here also apply in Andromeda. And even further afield than that; as far as we know, in the entire observable universe.
To get to somewhere with a whole other set of physical laws, you would have to go to a whole other universe. At least, according to some multiverse theories which explain that the reason the physical constants in our universe are so perfectly tuned to allow life is that this is just one of a multitude of universes all with different values of the key fundamental constants. Of course, if the flying pizza monsters are advanced enough to travel between universes, it’s weird that they can’t build their own ships in this one, but what do I know, I’m just a single-universe dweller.
[ID:A tweet by @OctopusCaveman that says, “I think the scariest alien scenario ever would be if they came to earth, didn’t talk to humans, communicated with something in the ocean for a few days and then just left”. End ID.]
A birthday gift to myself - finishing another art piece! Been on a horror binge of all kinds lately and what kind of person would I be if I left out the Alien franchise. While the original is the best in my opinion, I love the ending sequence of Aliens and the introduction of the queen.
some black and white studies for cda class. i’ve actually never done film studies in greyscale before, i learned a lot. studies are from blade runner and aliens
