If aliens wanted to destroy us they would do it in a blink of an eye


Sorry last night really irked me in a way. A civilization with the capability to traverse light years in a matter of hours or days or weeks would wipe us out with a press of a button there would be no resistance, no HUMANS are special BS, Hollywood gets it wrong every single time. Take a look at this world, more advanced cultures wiped out less advanced cultures never to recover again.

But don't forget the chosen one tom mason can travel to the moon, take out their power source, and return to earth without a ship or a scratch on him. Nothing can defeat humans so long as the Mason family exists

Why would last night irk you in this way? It's obvious that the humans were going to win, just like almost every other alien invasion film or show.

Yeah if aliens wanted to wipe us out they'd do it by firing on us from space. Many stories rely either on these advanced beings suddenly becoming retarded or the introduction of a deus ex machina.
