    I like how the whole "Terraforming an alien planet to make it more suitable for human life" thing is basically one giant metaphor for real-world habitat destruction. Granted, in this case, they're technically just replacing an alien ecosystem with a more Earth-like ecosystem; nevertheless, the parallels are still very much there. There's even the Kicking Wolverton, which was arguably spread to Altamira by accident. If it was accidental, then they'd be a parallel to many invasive species of real-world barnacles, which were inadvertently spread to inland regions when they clung to the bottoms of ships.

    • @baneofbanes
      @baneofbanes 13 дней назад +18

      It’s even more directly comparable to rats, which humans spread by ships to many regions they weren’t native too, especially islands where they dealt massive devastation.

      Just think of Australia.
      I'm in Europe, but I get anxiety sometimes thinking about how Australia's biosphere has been permanently altered, with the addition of so many placental mammals, that will likely never leave (foxes, rabbits, CATS, dingoes, horses, camels, deer, cattle, banteng, buffalo).

    Yo those are the legitimate best bug analogies ive EVER seen for a scifi project. Like theyre common enough looking that you can point one out and go "look a pinwheel" just like bugs BUT, they arent just like small animals or juat bugs again, they have a distinctly alien feel to them. And then you see the SPIRAL THORN QUEEN, and i was just flabbergasted at how creative and visually striking it was at the same time without lessening either. Madly impressive stuff here.
