Maybe the asteroid that hit the dinos were them putting tripods in the ground or the dinosaurs died because they harvested them and waited for life to grow back.
hmm i never thought about that one before, its definitely a high possibilty!
That's idiotic
No way they waited that many years in the millions to just exterminate humans
@@jaygupta1477 really that's not idiotic it kind of actually makes sense when the asteroid hit it might have not been the asteroid it might have been the Invaders putting the tripods in the ground and just like Dawson kozel said they waited for life to grow back
I always thought that was the case.
One thing that intruiged me about these creatures was the level of curiosity they showed in the ruined house scene. They examined human ornaments, tools, objects and photographs without any obvious benefit to themselves.
This showed some individual interest in the species they were exterminating, that was not related to their goal. Maybe some of them have thoughts about the species they conquer?
They only came here as a desperate attempt to save their race so they probably felt bad but they also had a far more advanced alien rival from Jupiter or something
"Maybe some of them had thoughts about the species they conquer?"
No
@@jaygupta1477 perhaps some of the aliens were vegetarians? XD
They basically are *us*, different, but culturally basically the same in a lot of ways... and both species are inherently flawed down to the core of the very soul; both have a propensity to be psychopathic, but also scientific in terms of curiosity.
@@venomgaming2874 Yep the Jovians from the official second book by the HG Wells estate.
*throws dead infected rats at tripods*
Just like the good old days of the black plague
😂😂😂😂
@藤原氏Haru bruh it’s a joke,no need for your nerd ass science to hit us like a nuke.
@藤原氏Haru But viruses eventually cross species. Why do you think swine and bird flu exists? Hell covid crossed from bats to humans.
@@SirDankleberry the whole bat thing isn’t confirmed, but your point still stands
Imagine planning an invasion for potentially hundreds or thousands of years only to be thwarted by a guy with a cough.
More like millions of years
Trillions of years lol ?
The gravity alone would kill them mars has a third of Earth's gravity if that are as big as bears and weigh 120 lbs on Mars they would weigh 360 lbs on earth they couldn't move very quickly
Imagine being a species that died to Black Plague .
Oh Wait-
@@xXDEFIENCE2066Xx The universe isnt that old
alines: no u can't use bacteria on us...
humans: hahaha... bacterias go brrrrr
haha
simple. they got germs. and the alien got the shits....
if you look at the 2005 design of the alien, and the 2005 design of the tripod, you can technically say the tripods are like mechs to the aliens. mechs to humans are 2 legged mechanical machines with 2 arms and a cockpit nearing where the head should be. the tripod has 3 legs, and 2 additional arms in where the 2 arms on the aliens should be, with different purposes, the head shaped like the alien head, and even the bottom of the leg with 3 seperate toe like things on both alien and tripod.
Yeah pretty much
These beings are extremely advanced, simply due to the fact that the tripod machines they used are hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of years old and defeated humanity in a matter of days.
That and their strategy, which is pretty clever given their tech.
Yeah to see their current technologies would be exciting and very interesting and also a little terrifying!
I think the tripods came with the thunder. There is no way the tripods would remain hidden from humans for so long beneath the surface
The lighting was only the pilots not the machines themselves
If you go by the novel, then yes Millions. The Martians existed when Mars was once like earth-
Maybe their technology was so good they don’t even have to change it even over millions of years
I think when any species is in all out war we tend to appear emotionless and probably appear hive minded and survivalists in nature. Otherwise top job with the video.
Yeah i suppose that mentaillty can be comapred to that of the invaders. thanks for you comment really appericiate the support!
I think the hive mind theory may come from the fact that they don’t use auditory communication and in the book the protagonist theorizes they communicate telepathically
In the musical they say that the invaders eliminated disease many centuries ago on their home world and lost the need for an immune system
However I may argue that earth pathogens have adapted to attack humans and their immune systems making it alien to the invaders, with the statement they don't have a need for an immune system I disagree and say that they don't have to use their immune system on their planet however still obtain some resistance against common pathogens on their planet because i'm pretty sure evolution wouldn't take away the body's greatest defence mechanism
I guess it really depends on alot of factors that are to hard to verify using the information presented in the film
Maybe Earth diseases are on a different level
.
I find some of the points you made interesting. You mention that they may lack the brain capacity to possess empathy, however you never considered the alternative that empathy may be a hindrance and therefore disadvantageous or archaic. Additionally, they work in groups, so they do possess prosocial behaviours. They may not necessarily feel a need to be prosocial towards humans, due to the difference in advancement. We all assume that we as humans are not just the ones to define empathy but who possess the title of the greatest empathisers, and yet not only do we behave in ways similar to these aliens with animal agriculture etc, as between species, but also within the species, in groups always display an indifferent or disinterested appeal to empathy when a member of an outgroup dies or is killed. Something to think about.
So your saying that they might indeed posses empathy but are simply, like humans, incapable of showing it in certain situations and to certain beings?
I suspect so yes, but it is fiction after all. If aliens had the technology to travel through space and come to our planet, this means they understand how dark energy works and furthermore how to utilise it as a means of transport. Undoubtedly, they would also be able to utilise fission to provide themselves sustenance. They could take hydrogen (which is everywhere) and turn it into any configuration of element or molecule that they want, such as food, resources, energy, etc. So, if aliens did come to earth, there is some possibilities. The most likely I believe is that they perceive knowledge as the predominant currency or value (as materials would be essentially infinite and therefore worthless), and they’re either mapping star systems or just exploring and observing for trends in life (one planet of life is only one sample). In this situation, they don’t need to compete for food, or territory, or whatever. The alternative is that they consider hunting a sport, even though food is a non-issue. If they were to attack us, it would purely be for an entertainment factor.
@@ProjectACHERON Or that both them and us are capable (not incapable) but simply decide not to be.
When was the last time someone ate meat and seriously thought of the cow?
@@ProjectACHERON
Plus the War of the Worlds was written as a criticism of Imperialism, the atrocities of which are truly mind numbing. How many of those performing crimes against their fellow man showed disinterest as another corpse fell to the ground because of a bullet they fired, a girl they raped, or a child they stabbed?
Thanks for the video dude I was hoping there’d be some sort of lore behind them :)
Did the best I could with the info I had. Glad you enjoyed !
Don't feel ashamed about your stuttering or speech just take your time pal everyone is here to support your channel.
Thanks so much, this is an older video but recently I've been making strives in order to make my narration much better
@@ProjectACHERON You should feel proud, Great goal and achievement in one.
I know people seem to make fun of the Spielberg’s aliens, but to me, they look more ‘alien’. Aside from the forward facing eyes attached to the larger brain and arms with opposable thumbs, these aliens looked lesser humanoid in appearance thanks to its tripedal-like locomotion.
yeah spielbergs aliens and depication of the tripods is my favorite by far, so interesting, scary and biomechanical. Overall more alien
They're crap.
ReverendSyn I disagree, but that’s your opinion.
They just look like independence day aliens with 3 legs
@@siyacer And two extra tiny arms.
some people have pointed out that pathogens adapted to animals would probably not be able to prey on something so different.
could it be that the invaders* were actually killed by fungal microorganisms which attacked their damp bodies?
I mean a pathogen is any type of organism that causes ill effect to a host organism so i still think fungus would fall within this category
I like to think of it that we polluted the air and our bodies so badly that the Martians basically choked to death on plastics, lead and other nasty surprises in our biosphere
@@SudrianTales George Carlin was right! "The Earth Plus Plastic. A Whole New Paradigm."
@@DerHammerSpricht Turns out Mother Earth wanted us to pollute, if only to teach those SOBs a lesson
I wish there was a sequel to this movie😞
Same but how would that work if all the aliens died and the machines where destroyed?
@@leothedog979 When in doubt you don't succeed, try try again?
Im sure there is more of them somewhere around the galaxy.
@@ProjectACHERON yeah probably or another species could clone them
Me too xx
I always thought the orange liquid was blood that they mechanically processed and fed on. Or that it was human blood they harvested along the way and that they may be vampiric in nature. With their bodies perhaps used to latch onto prey and suck them dry with their fangs that are sharp but with a jaw that is rather small and weak. They were probably pack hunters that worked together to bring down prey larger then themselves by working together to pin them down taking their two larger front legs to grab the prey and their back leg to balance and pin it down before and sucking their blood quickly making the creatures weak and faint as they are being drained alive.
Thats actually a very cool theory!!! Really cool thought expirement!
Plus, the orange liquid would let them float within their machines, which would offset any issues they have with heavier gravity.
I think the closest comparison we have to the Invaders on Earth is ants.
Think about it.
Ants create intelligently designed nests, cultivate other organisms as a food source, and as far as we know they do not possess emotional capacity (at least, in the same way as us). They react to stimuli such as pheromones and the presence of a threat, sure, but doing so is essentially autonomous. They may scout out and investigate unfamiliar areas/objects, but they don't record their findings like we would. They also don't have a "culture" per se, though colonies from the same ant species tend to display similar construction styles, tactics, and habits.
Now imagine if ants possessed the intelligence to develop more sophisticated architecture, complex systems, or vehicles inspired by their biology, but they remained the same functionally: an autonomous hive driven by survival instinct.
The Invaders may not seem like a hive from what we've seen/read, but consider this: we have no idea of their sense of scale or time. What if a planet to them is like a large boulder to an ant? What if the invasion is comparable to a small group of forager ants returning to a boulder they had "marked" a few minutes ago, or even a group of farmer ants gathering a harvest from a section of their "garden"?
Spielberg has a vastly different design to the books, the martians had huge bulking brains taking up most of the body, 16 tentacles in two bundles of 8 with extended limbs for reaching, in the novel they built the tripods on earth as the gravity was too dense for them to move unaided, they even brought another alien species with them more like the small grey men so they had something to eat on their journey, the red weed was accidentally brought from Mars as seeds were in the cylinders when fired towards earth.
4:43
I think it may have been a lack of immunity to pathogens encountered. We haven’t found species outside of earth... however..
I would imagine biology has constants, similar to physical and kinetic constants. Immunity is a function of a living organism being able to survive overtime. I would imagine these species of alien thought that the microbes on earth were rather mild in their effects. Perhaps when encountering our microbial fauna they simply were not prepared.
Quite literally the plot of the film 😂😂😂
Thinking of their culture and society, it's worth nothing that we only see their initial front line invasion force, which is highly unlikely to be representative of their society as a whole. It seems unlikely that a species with no neurological ability to perceive the state of others is unlikely to be able to develop a highly urbanised, technologically advanced culture needed for interstellar travel and colonisation. Such efforts require the ability to function socially on a massive scale. Given the way their young are reared I think it's more likely that they are eusocial species, similar to ants or termites, rather than an antisocial/self-isolating one such as sea turtles.
yeah thats a really good point, similar to how earth military's dont really resemble a great picture of what their home countries stand form and look like.
Good video here.ive actually myself have been studying the design of the tripods and the alien form and recently actually built a two feet tall model of the tripod machine and also a three feet tall model of the creature in the movie out of cardboard.lots of hard work but it was worth it.i plan on posting a video of my project on RUclips soon.
Wow thats would be awesome you shod share some of the pics with me!
@@ProjectACHERON definitely will.i will let you know when I post it.itll be short but sweet.give me time to get video together.ill show both alien and tripod.
Nice!
@@ProjectACHERON hey,I did three videos.got a lot of views!hit the J and look this up!first,.... homemade cardboard tripod from war of the world's!second video which I think you'll like,..... homemade cardboard three foot tall alien from WOTW,and last but not least the first tripod I made which unfortunately fell apart,.... homemade cardboard three foot tall tripod.hope you like it!
Nigga please dont start building real sized tripods
Underrated Chanel, love your vids man
Thank you so much it really means a lot, if I could ask you any favour it would be to share the channel and my videos around to help bring more people in that’s would be awesome. But just having your support is fantastic!
@@ProjectACHERON of course, I am fan of Alien myself, I spend many time developing theories on my own. I will share this, its pleassure that chanels like your exist
This is an underrated video I’m a Die hard fan of the whole plethora of word of the worlds media and books and theres definitely not enough lore vids like this or big of a fan base for me to weeb at love it 👌🏾 I wish there was sequel or prequel and an extended universe
me too, i really think they could have made a good sequel to this film, but instead we got a sad straight to DVD release one that is an absolute flop.
What what frightened me most about this film, is that once all the tripods were taken down. Many nations would reverse engineer all the tech /weapons and maybe get some tripods operational. And use it against each other.
Possible, but not likely
Great video, I love it when you do different alien species 👍👍😁😁✔❤
Thank you so much for the support I really appreciate that you guys allow me to branch out without backlash !
@@ProjectACHERON I'm glad I could be of help looking forward to seeing your channel to continue to prosper.
☺️☺️thank you again my friend !
Wonderful video!
Thank you very much!
This is an excellent video! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
@project: ACHERON : When you described what they eat, you missed a part of the movie where one of the creature starts drinking water in the basement in the 2005 movie. Also they seem to be communicating to each other and studying pictures of humans during the movie so it would seem most of their communications are in a frequency that sounds like grunts and groans to humans.
There seems to be rather a significant divergence between the Martians depicted in the 2005 film and the original novel by H. G. Wells. Wells depicted the Martians as being basically big brains with eyes, a slitlike mouth that only took in air, a grouping of tentacles for manipulation, and neither a digestive nor an immune system. Their entire means of obtaining nutrition was limited by their evolution to direct transfusion of blood from live prey. Having lived their entire lives on Mars, their bodies, having practically no muscular or skeletal system to speak of, were unused to Earth's heavier gravity, to the point where they needed machines just to get around. Their own world was dying, so conquest of our own warm, watery planet meant survival of their race.
This video shows what the aliens are
Seriously I look though videos and videos until I found this video best
Thanks my friend!
agreed
This video is great! Very factual :)
Glad you think so! Really hope you stick around and continue to enjoy my content.
The orange liquid is likely blood plasma. Though usually yellow in color, it can appear in orange-red hues when it has undergone haemolysis, a process that is caused by red blood cells rupturing and then decomposing in the plasma. This is also common in smokers, as their blood does not receive enough oxygen. It appears they might have been at least partially poisoned through the infusion of blood plasma that had essentially already been spoiled.
Can we talk about how BIG THE INVADERS FOREHEADS ARE LIKE GAH DAM
The Matians had long sinced overcome viruses and other morbidities. For that reason they overlooked the possibility of them being a threat to them.
Possible
3:25 let it die
Let it die
Let it shrivel up and die-
hah nice
Hah! Anyone with me?
In the 2005 movie there's a needle that comes down and sucks blood out of one of the captured victims before the orange liquid comes out.
However if you want to talk about the species. You should include the original story. Which says they came from Mars. Some of your questions would be answered from the original
Yeah defiantly
Got a question do u think the army would have beat them if they didn't have th shields
I have a question for you. Do you do stuff like this but for game empires? Like aliens empires in games that are well known. If you do, I have a video idea for you about an empire called the Grox from Spore, possibly more worse than you describe The Invaders.
I can definetly do somethig like that on my gaming channel project: archivist
@@ProjectACHERON Cool!
how many aliens are in each tripod and what does the interior of the machine look like?
Humans studied their tech and invade others...
i would say bio mechanical
In concept art you can see a long curving hallway with a human trapped and getting his blood sucked out, I think this long curving hallway is the purple window around the rim of the tripod. In the scene where Tom cruise blows up the tripod, if you look closely at a orange window that blows up, you see an alien pop out of the window to examine what happened. Below the main eye is the entrance, a little hatch. At the end of the movie when they shoot down the tripod the hatch opens up and the sick alien crawls out and dies. The orange liquid (blended human) comes from the hatch which means the aliens tripods are filled with it and they swim around in it. The orange windows are filled with liquid I think, the purple windows are dry, behind the main eye is the pilots room and in the other eyes are the controllers of the heat rays. So 3 aliens plus the alien that pops out the window so 4 or more aliens inside
I knew a guy with the nickname of tripod. Really nice guy, very talkative at the urinal.
Great video, love the backing track, anyone know it’s name & artist?
i cant rember for the life of me
Not sure where you got Mars just being a stepping stone from but it’s an interesting concept
wells referred to the "martians" in another short story in which he depicted them as aliens who occupied mars at some earlier time. i wish i could remember the name of the story....
I hate how people mix up the lore of the Martians from the original book and the invaders from the 2005 movies. There are distinct differences between the 2 species, even Spielberg himself said that his aliens are NOT the martians.
Question, how did these aliens build those ships with those hands?
I call em space invaders, simple, descriptive, and a clever reference to an old classic.
Ok the basement scene do you think the invaders would have killed them there and then in they caught them? Or do you think they would’ve have dragged them into the tripod?
Hey man, definity think they would have been harvested. no reason to kill the humans uless they really had to. Adding them to their human fertilizer makes more sense. Like what eventually happened with Ray and Rachel
Project: ACHERON yeah I get that cheers!
No problem!
The invaders failed invasion reminding me for some reason with Napoleon invading Russia
Haha yeah I suppose there are some mirrors to the stories
Where did you find that out 4:13 -4:22.
Where you get all this info from?
the movie
The 2005 tripod is my favourite tripod and my favourite movies are war of the worlds 2005, the Mitchell’s vs the machines, independents day and coco. My favourite series is war of the worlds in bbc
I had a theory:
Perhaps these machines were buried long ago because these creatures seeded many habital worlds with them, which includes creating/seeding worlds with certain life forms which produce liquid substances like us for them to terraform the planet best suited to their previous environment.
Yeah that could be a good reason the attack wasn’t specialised for our biosphere as well
Who would win a single microscopic boy or a bunch of spacey boys.
And yet nothing like the bulbous mass 5hat first emerged from the meteor that delivered it in H.G Wells' The War Of The Worlds.
I like to think the usually have three worlds at a time one dying one thriving and one in preparation for invasion
Yeah it’s possible
I like the book version way more than the movie
Fair enough!
Wouldn't that one be the cannon version? Lol
Blue Twister yeah, I don’t believe that the movie is a real interpretation of the book it’s just inspired by it
Yeah pretty much.
I believe it’s heavily implied that they’re harvesting humans and using the plasma in their blood as some sort of deflector shield(can plasma do that. I have no idea.) yet the germs of various kinds they had no immune system(or defence you think a space fair civilization would’ve figure that out) and I assume right in the heat of battle at some point gaps between the shield start a foreman next thing you know the tripod were getting treated by some high-grade military destruction
Wonder if other Species also fought back
Can u put also the italian subtitles? Cause my friends love this film, but they don't understand a single word of this video hahaha
Hmm I can try
@@ProjectACHERON thank u so much bro😉
The aliens in 2005 reminded me of the invading aliens from Independence Day. My head cannon says that they’re the same species and originally tried to invade earth with massive city destroyers and when they failed, they decided to just use tripods instead
one of my favorite horror movies ever maide!
same here
I think the orange fluid is just engine coolant.
strange that it would be in the cockpit area with the creatures
music?
What you describe is a species that seems like it wouldn't have evolved and gotten advanced enough to create space flight. Instead it feels like this is a servitor race created for the sake of war. Either their masters come in later to harvest, or their masters are dead andthese thigns continue unabaited as interstellar locusts.
So they're book smart, but lack street smarts, and they've just walked into the wrong neighborhood.
The independent day species might be there first cousins.
I think diseases are much different from where they are from. Humans and Earth must have been a very unique situation for them since they didn't seem prepared for bio situations. Example for the scene is when the aliens come exploring the basement without any protective gear.
Yeah i think thats very likely.
Defeated by their own hubris essentially.
One of them sucked down a bunch of water from a busted pipe when they come down to that basement cause they REALLY want to see whats down there.
Imagine, you're smart enough to execute a pan galactic invasion, plan it for 1000's of years, make your vehicles impervious to all forms of kinetic energy attacks, but you overlook the most basic of things. Also, those massive eyes are begging for a pencil in them.
They dont want Heath Ledgers Joker coming near them 😊

Aliens: 💀💀💀
I'm sure cows and chickens would think similar to us about these aliens lol
For sure
They are another tripods underground ?
Supposedly
Believe it or not, like with the original novel; these creatures are *us*; in a nutshell: settlers who seek to survive and develop any area that we or they settle into; and like how we use animals and plants, so do they.
yeah it what makes the most sense!
@@ProjectACHERON Plus, if people end up educated in the public school system; they do tend towards the same personality flaws as these alien beings; so it makes further sense that they're a rendition of the USA at that as far as their state.
In addition to that; they're the "greys", well, in Latin America, the term for the USA's people is "the grey ones" in translation; another way that is a clear sign.
In addition to all that: in War of the Worlds; it is canonical that the aliens be the same people as the nation they're invading; this goes back to H. G. Wells, who intended the novel to be a critique on British Colonialism; so in a sense, they are "breakaway Martians" in regard to the novel's universe; much like how the USA is a set of breakaway colonies that gained our independence through a war.
In addition to all that, the Tripods are basically described as "Sherman Tanks on Stilts with some serious upgrades", well the Sherman tank was the primary warmachine of the USA during the mid-part of the 20th Century AD.
And that doesn't even come close to describing them as basically "men without chests": G. K. Chesterton's term for what I'd describe as frankly a benevolent psychopath; someone with no empathy nor emotional connection to others, but who has a distinct grasp of moral law and a heavily developed intellect.
They are clearly smart and thinking, and thoughtful beings; but to them, as H. G. Wells would describe, we are no more than livestock, useful perhaps, but *NOT* their equals in any way- much like how we historically regarded horses or cattle: useful, and necessary; but possessing no inherent rights whatsoever.
And that makes sense, if I am right, these are frankly basically another species of "human": self-aware, reasoned, beings of physical mortal nature; that's a solid functioning definition for "human being" so why in "Superman" wouldn't Kryptonians be fully human for instance?
And that's just for starters.
Take the early PaleoIndians, or PaleoAmerindians: they would have taken advantage of any foodstuffs they could process as they sought out living areas for themselves and their families; same with the European settlers... so why would these "Greys" not, pray tell? It only makes perfect logical sense!
Acheron's theory about the orange liquid is quite flawed. We first see the stuff when Roy attacks the alien's remote viewer -- my term for a mechanical device that looks something like a giant robotic snake -- with an axe. Since the aliens are far too large to be inside the viewer, it stands to reason that the fluid has nothing to do with their health and physiology and much to do with their technology. I imagine it to be a form of colloidal magnetic fluid that functions like muscles to move and articulate the limbs and tentacles of the aliens' machines. The hatchway the alien tries to use to escape its destroyed fighting machine is filled with the orange liquid because the force of those anti-tank missiles the soldiers fired has ruptured the containment chambers or vessels where the fluid is normally confined to flood into the habitable spaces within the machine.
fair enough
what if the alien dude was all crispy like that when he came out bc he was covered in alien industrial chemicals 💀
Makes sense
First time watching this movie , just finished it. I'm so confused that's why I'm here lol
Confused about what?
Anybody else think they look similar to the Independence Day aliens? just with mouths and no tentacles and different limb structures? Other than that, they look pretty similar.
There is a war of the world series from the 80s and that the martians take over human bodys i have the complete series on dvd originals
what is it called?
@@ProjectACHERON the tripods
Thanks for the video! These aliens are always really interesting to me. Did they see themselves as evil? or simply doing what was needed for their race? Maybe they looked at us with the same sympathy as humans look at chickens. Anyway, there is a video coming out for this very movie! Looks really good!
3:15 lol
Okay, here’s a fun, and random, thought:
The Invaders vs The Covenant from Halo.
Who you got?
Considering the invaders plans and their machines were purpose-built to extract and process biomass, there’s no way they weren’t aware of the existence of earthly pathogens or the threat it might pose to them. In order to even have those machines ready to go in the first place, they would’ve had to do a lot of study into the human body, human blood, earth’s ecosystems, and how those things could be used for the invaders’ benefit.
It had to have been something more specific that killed them, a big miscalculation they thought they’d covered. Maybe a new kind of disease that recently evolved in a way they hadn’t anticipated.
In the original book it was explained that the aliens had long since conquered all disease, and over time they had lost the scientific knowledge they once had regarding microbial organisms. I’m guessing something similar happened with these aliens, but they must’ve retained some knowledge and ran many scientific tests to produce that kind of harvesting technology. It’s also possible these invaders are a much different people than the aliens that buried the machines; the ones who put the tripods on earth probably had a vast span of knowledge about earth’s bacteria that has been lost in all that time since, and the people operating the machines in the invasion are basically kids playing with a loaded gun in comparison.
We'll never be like the martians, we humans like to take care of our stuff, we tend to our gardens, repair our cars, paint our houses, feed the birds, care for our pets, etc. Always have been always will, those of us who don't though, don't tend to lead very happy lives.
yeah thats pretty correct i suppose, explain what we are doing to our planet though
You forget there are dirty humans out there to who enjoy to embrace sinful acts as for their hunger. Which makes us interesting since there's room for a vast quantity or potential to come from the good, the evil, neutrality, and chaos
it seems to me in comparing humans to the aliens we are concentrating on physiological evolution without considering what might be called sociological evolution. compare humans' view of their environment in the 21st century as opposed to how a human of the 19th century looked at the world. also, the idea of a "social conscience" is something fairly novel. the aliens either never developed one or abandoned it on the way to making themselves supreme rulers of their very specialized technological environment. i think wells may have been hinting at this.
I think they are the dominate species of their home world, because they are vicious and very hostile. Like a narcissist. Extremely crafty in a brutal manner.
I seen the the moiv of war of the worlds
me too
I call the aliens, Martian Monkeys
These things seem to have something connecting their tongue to the top of their mouth. 3:32 - 3:34.
Do they all look the same , behave the same and think the same
Big Travis If it depends on their behavior.
i suppose you could compare them to a multicellular version of bacteria or virus or something.
To us, perhaps.
But there may be differences between each other that only THEY are able to perceive.
@@ReverendSyn Ikr I think they are just like humans but a different species.
i just saw morta'xxen
If anyone can remember, the tripods seem to be organic, possibly a large synth, or cyborg. When in the cage, a small grabber, or hole with the tentacle seem to be an organic thing, when the tripods are also being hit, or dying, they leak some bodily fluids/liquids. so it could be possible that the aliens changed their forms and such.
Also! The tripods could be the motherships, as seen in the basement, the tripods are heard blowing their war horn or whatever to call the aliens back in. In the beginning aswell, theres gotta be spaceships, because, how’d they get into the tripods, I mean, they could’ve warped in.
@@thevisiblefiend1534 i think it was confirmed that the tripods are completely mechanical when it comes to what's inside them besides the pilot and any other crew/aliens.
@@Gang_Stalker_Shadow_Gov True. The liquid inside could be something to keep the aliens warm or whatever. It was just a theory.
Definitely not the case, the tripods were confirmed to be purely mechanical by the movie's production crew.
@@dynestis2875 Yes? I can clearly see what he said, talking about the liquids inside the tripods. Plus, these are theories. The liquids inside the tripods could be a biological liquid.
I think my only comment is that any such species would be unable to "come together" in any great organization. Their contempt or lack of emotions would likely lead to endless conflict on their home world and to their destruction or at least, make them too weak to mount any attack due to generation after generation of internal conflict. I'm guessing if they cannot feel remorse or empathy, that would be applied to their own race as much as any other. But of course, that wouldn't make a good story! :)
Well i mean look at how humans are capable of treating each other and then look at the attrocities that we can levey against other species on our planet and tell me again that this isnt possible.
Well in the movie they viewed us like livestock. Maybe Earth was they're planet and they "Shall Return".
Why are the invaders naked?
Its like if we invaded someone else's planet walking around in giant nude human ships.
Hahah yeah pretty much
The invaders have Sharp teeth, they are clearly carnivores.
They have front facing eyes and sharp teeth, they're predatory carnivores.
I'm sure cows and chickens would say the same about us.....
Hey ACHERON,
I enjoyed your observations and musings on the invaders.
It may interest you to know that you almost hit the nail squarely on the head in regards to the human comparison.
It has been documented that H.G. Wells himself wrote this story in response to the ethnic cleansing of the people inhabiting Tasmania, then called Van Diemen's Land.
A peaceful, isolated people to whom White people were completely alien. As were their terrible weapons that killed from a distance.
Also, if you look into the Spanish invasion of South America, the spread of syphilis was a nasty surprise just waiting for the unprepared conquistadors.
Humans already have had very little humanity on the whole well before now.
Keep up the good work.
Those are actually some very interesting points you bring up and it has actually made me think i should make an entire video around these very themes and concepts. Thanks so much for the idea ill have tocredit you in the being of the video! Really glad you are enjoying the content!
@@ProjectACHERON ,
I'll look forward to it!
Subscribed so I won't miss it.
I love Sci-Fi authors and their theories.
@@ProjectACHERON OK,
Having just watched the last ep' of Epix/ Fox/ Canal WOTW, and in the light of what we know about H.G Wells's motivation...
POTENTIAL SPOILER.
I think that we can safely conclude that the invaders are Humans.
Just more advanced humans.
I suspected as much, but...
Spoilers! 😀
You have me very interested now?
@@ProjectACHERONit was let slip, actually kind of shouted, a few times throughout the series, just how bad humans can be in persute of their own survival and prosperity.
The writers seem to be saying, by word and the obvious construction of the dogs, that these are "human" constructs.
In a 2019 production the invaders would not have been portrayed do clumsily by accident.
So, I believe that even if the series ends there, they are saying that we did this to ourselves.
How this has come about remains to be seen.
All that remains of the Tasmanian aborigines are we hybrids, decended from both cultures.
If you watch an old documentary on RUclips called The Last Tasmanian, you will see just how effective and brutal the ethnic cleansing was.
Maybe the writers just went back to the core idea.
🤔
the orange liquid was human blood (:
They come from mars, so they wouldnt be used to an atmosphere.
Narcissism. More and more people lately exhibit narcissistic behaviours. Sadly and scary, but the truth. Yes, if that isn't stopped ahead of time humans will become what these Invaders species demonstrate. We must keep faith in God to help us remain empathetic.
the liquid is harvested blood.
