If you think about it, how would aliens have any idea what Earth's major cities are? they are from space and don't know anything bout the Earth.
Jay is a pretty clever film critic, glad he caught on to how stupid this movie was.

It’s Emmerich we’re talking about, Aliens destroying Paris is far more visceral and grand than them blowing up bum frick nowhere. It increases the scope
>ayys don't know what a city looks like
>nor can they surveille our communications and learn what the best targets are
Places with lots of light when it's night have the most people. Pretty easy if you think about it for 0.4 seconds.
>how would aliens have any idea what Earth's major cities are
they'd probably observe it immediately since our population is so centralized and tech-primitive compared to what would have to be an interstellar species at minimum
I think a lot of nerds don't understand that like progress of science is fairly linear, particularly after industry, the only real differences are in the necessity of the technology or the social understandings of "value"

What do gay catboys have to do with your post?
parasocial e-celeb simpgays are so pathetic
If aliens came to earth they'd think bacteria run things cause they have the most biomass.
Because aliens are moronic.
Frick aliens xD am I right?
Jesus fricking CHRIST. Not again. Honestly, how many goddamn times do I have to say this? RLM are the living embodiment of the smug, detached Gen-X ethos. What the FRICK do I MEAN by this?
I'd venture to guess none of them has felt a single sincere conviction about anything since childhood. They exist as polyps upon the colon of culture, satiating themselves on the perceived failures of others (i.e. "The Man") while adding nothing new to the discourse aside from ironic complaint.
They're a group of insecure, lost, rapidly aging burnouts who silently believe they could do a better job of making films than the professionals in the industry. Yet they lack the ambition and ability to actually enter the very industry they're obsessed with. They choose instead to frick around and make student film piss-takes well into middle age.
They are awful, awful people. I've met thousands just like them, and the last thing we need is for these people to gain any attention for their navel gazing.
Please, Cinemaphile, do not aspire to become anything like these people. Theirs is a lonely road leading to depression and a life devoid of real purpose.
I hope they disappear and their disaffected followers stop subsidizing their lifestyle. Perhaps that would force them to do something productive with themselves.
How did you manage to write all that shit and still say nothing?
Bart Simpson grew up and instead of becoming Homer they're just, Le Bart Simpson maaaan. I have plenty of cousins and co-workers like the RLM crowd, they're insuffrable and have no sense of humor. ROCK ON MAAAAN!
P cringe ngl
They would look at city lights and probably start with the two US coast megapolis, China's waterfront, Japan and Indonesia.
The point he's making is the "major cities" where shit is run are often not the biggest cities. Go compare dc to new york, LA, or even fricking louisville ky or Austin Texas
>be alien
>master FTL travel
>cant figure out important control centers of a civilization that literally shoots waves of information pinpointing these centers.
The aliens also blew up the White House.
Yeah but that's the question. Why would aliens assume this random moderately sized mansion that's not even in the center of a small city the control center for the entire country? Especially when something like the world trade center or UN building would have made more sense
White house is emblematic of the most powerful structure in America while not the most important. Maybe the aliens wanted mankind to hand over the keys while not dismantling structures of control entirely
Yeah but how would they know that looking at light maps from space?
They could watch TV and figure shit out. They’re aliens bro, they can be anything the writer wants them to be since we have ZERO frame of reference. They could be silicon based jellyfish or big-tiddy cat girls for all we know
There is nothing to assume, from what is shown in the movie they had full access to all human information systems and satellites from the moment they arrived.
aliens are shown to have been visiting earth since at least the 1940s (roswell crash ship)
aliens are shown to be able to understand english (communicating via brent spiner)
aliens are shown to have planned the invasion (using our satellites to communicate with each other, map of earth in mothership)
>hur dur how do they know what a city is????
fricking hell...
No you don't understand
Emmerich dumb and stupid
Me smart
Go back to /x/, gay
Watch the movie dumb Black person
If you think for one minute you can find a reasonable way for them to know. The guy is probably just joking around, but I doubt OP is.
>If you think about it, how would aliens have any idea what Earth's major cities are?
You can accept that aliens of any kind travel the interstellar void just to come to earth for some reason (there's a million reasons to go literally anywhere else if it's just for resources) but when they get here you think they're too pants on head moronic to figure out where the major population centers are?
I don't understand how a grown adult makes this point and thinks they're smart.
If you were in a shuttle orbiting the Earth on it's night side you could probably make a decent guess just marking target areas that emit the most light without some sci-fi tech that may as well be magic as far as it's explained in most alien flicks.
>Be a human in an empty field
>See an ant hill
>See ants going in and out of it
>Decide you don't want ants so you take a hose to the ant hill and kill all the ants
How the hell did he know where the ants were?
literally Cinema Sins tier complaint. Why do these gays always act like they are so much superior to the rest of Youtube when they are just as bland and unoriginal
>Wowzers where are this species major urban centers I can't tell at all!
Jay BTFO
>We use dark matter as fuel, and I assume they must use it too, fire all weapons, target the black areas!!
Wish some moronic shit like that happened in movies, enemies making wrong assumptions.
Instead we have aliens using w95
Ender's Game has a bit of that but not much. Otherwise HFY-stories play more with this stuff than the standard scifi.
just nuke all the places that light up the brightest at night. The can see from space. Also, if they're capable of intergalactic space travel, they probably understand the concept of fricking cities. I want to shit in Jay's sexy mouth
That's like asking what's the difference between throwing a grenade at a single enemy vs throwing a grenade at a group of enemies.
>aliens capable of FTL travel can't figure out what major population centers look like
Sure, Jay.
are all flyovers this ignorant?
>Jay is a pretty clever film critic
He's an idiot and this proves it. He knows he's a moron which is why before every review he does research to find some obscure facts to seem smarter but when he has to make an off the cuff comment like this, you can tell he's on the dumbest motherfrickers alive and everything else is well calculated parroted shit he reads in the top comments of reddit and youtube. His existence is a waste of time, space, and resources. He adds NOTHING to RLM videos.
he's the only one who isn't fat and balding so that's something
Worse, he’s a midget
he was the only one with a good take on kenobi
How did humans know what the mothership was?
Mauler even made these hacks look bad
MauLer makes everybody he sets his sights on look bad, he's a master of dissecting just about anything and anyone to their base components to determine their objective quality.
How?
>google.com
>what are the major cities of earth
The lights. Bigger cities are shiny at night. You also don't need to be a genius to attack first the rivers, and all computer technology deriving from aliens means they can enter the Internet via wi-fi to research. The aliens were preparing for decades, Roswell was a survey.
Speaking of nukes, isn't it crazy that the two nuked cities in Japan rebuilt in no time with zero nuclear fallout and nobody ever mentions what a miracle that is? Wow.
Almost like it never happened. Open your fricking eyes.
haha yeah, almost.
size doesn't change the half-life of affected areas.
no but it effects the density and range. Learn 2 math dipshit.
learn to not believe everything you're told to.
Learn to trust verifiable data. If you want a good conspiracy you need hard facts and data, theres so much shit out there ripe for discovery. If you cant even comprehend the basic relationship between area and diameter then dont be surprised when people compare you to a 4th grader and laugh at you.
it isn't "crazy", the radiation is something that is configurable on the devices. if you wanted to you could make them to irradiate an area for well over a century.
moron
This is Jays lowest point and hos worst take on a movie, he acts like a complete tool there it's embarrassing
do radio waves actually travel out into space? could aliens pick up our transmissions?
Hey aliens, FRICK YOU
imagine if some alien just started his Earth Monitoring shift as that went out
i think you should apologize just in case
Hey aliens, I'm sorry, sorry you were born as gray little homos lmao
look anon i know you're clowning around but we don't know their culture
what you're saying COULD be deeply offensive but you haven't considered that this could be a compliment of the highest order, but they also show love to other planets by destroying them. alien culture might be completely out of our understanding
Radiowaves are just electromagnetic radiation, the same as light. So i assume they just travel through space forever in much the same way as light does. So yes
thanks science-anon! does the signal/quality not deteriorate or something?
Not him but Aliens could just have receivers close enough to where interference doesn’t matter. How did they get there? Von Nuemann machines. Aliens are so hypothetical to us they can either be less advanced than us to the point of uselessness or literal gods of reality. No point in arguing what they could do, because theoretically they can do anything.
the most lights
Between Mike, Jay, and Rich who does everyone think is the dumbest? My money is on Rich Evans personally
Rich Evan is Dunning-Kruger personified.
Mike is dumbest thanks to alcoholism and depression. He clearly wants to be dead and it seems the only thing keeping him going is the hope someone gives him the keys to a star trek show
Mike is pretty dumb but he's what I would call humble dumb. He knows how stupid he is and has no delusions of being anything but a hog rolling around in the mud that is low brow entertainment. Jay and Rich however think they are much smarter than they are, with Jay being a classic midwit, and Rich being borderline braindead.
they're all pretty dumb, which they seem to delfect by implying it's ironic
Between the three of them there is one person with an average IQ.
Rich is kind of a fake superhero nerd.
>how would aliens have any idea what Earth's major cities are?
you can tell by the most lit up areas of the globe at night you brainlet
I swear jay is from the burbs
It's true. There are like ten cities in China several times bigger than any city in Europe (if you don't include London).
China would be decimated, but most of Europe untouched.
is he moronic?
>jay
>good
You can see cities from 10,000 miles away....
i'm 10,000 miles away from Sydney and i can't see it, you fricking liar
I hate when morons nitpick things that make sense
>haha the movie is full of plotholes so nobody will care if we make fun of everything about it
peak disingenuous
