>oh man shooting at these fast moving aliens from point blank

>clearing an ant infestation with grenades

it's a military dictatorship that doesn't care about its soldiers, a platoon is more expendable than a missile

yeah bit mad they aren't capable of orbital bombardment, perhaps the military on the whole was just a ruse and a form of population control, in both numbers and obedience

They actually use bombings in the film

>>84214087
ye once in order to clear the ground a little bit so the assault rifle tards can land

Military governments are no longer governments when they have no war to fight.

And theres no better enemy that an utterly alien, uncompromising, merciless killer that fills body bags as fast as it replenishes its own numbers.

Why fight for Klendathu? Its a rock in another galaxy. They could crack the planet open if they wanted, set its atmosphere on fire.

Eternal war, total media control, rule forever.

Insects on the other side of the galaxy who literally post no threat to humanity don't warrant such hardware, they want to keep the war going

>>84214012
It's like the Chinese you don't have enough bombs. They are like cockroaches so probably resistant to radiation.

The ships they used in the movie were so big that I am suprised they didn't just bomb the planet from orbit.

..But, that would not have been a very interesting story.

>>84214519
Except they do pose a threat,they fling asteroids covered in bugs towards earth. Buenos ares gets destroyed

>bug planet is a thousand light years away in a different galaxy
>they shoot a rock out of orbit to make it aim towards earth
>rock would take millions of years to make it here no matter how fast it was going
The bug planet invasion was done under false pretenses.
It was all just propaganda. Wake up people

>Buenos ares

how long would it take for a meteor on one side of the galaxy to reach the other side of the galaxy

>>84214622
Or did it...

>>84214622

No they don't, it would take thousands of years to arrive if they could even aim it so accurately Buenos Aires is an obvious false flag

did the brain bugs literally launch a asteroid at earth or whatever?

i assumed that it was either random shit or that asteroid that whatsername bumped into with the ship, but I can't remember if she bumped it before or after buenos aires got hit.

>>84214141
The bugs go into caves. They need someone to clean up.

>>84214661
if it is travelling at light speed, approx 100k years

probably longer because you can't go straight through the galactic core

>>84214622
Good goy

>>84214661
>>84214720
What makes you think they launched it from Klendathu?

Buenos Aires was an inside job.
Meteors don't melt cities.

>>84214720
>>84214661
>>84214650
Wasn't Denise Richard's ship also halfway across the galaxy when it got hit by the asteroid minutes before it hit Earth?

>>84214876
dunno dont remember, its sad she went from unbelievably fit to a haggard old bint
>>84214779
i was just answering the question

>>84214779

Even if they didn't launch if from klendathu, how did they launch it at all, how did they manage to calculate a perfect trajectory to earth when space is so incredibly big with incredibly complex gravitational effects

>>84214622
Jews did Buenos/11

>>84214990
In the final battle we see their ass shooters nail spaceships that must be tens of thousands of km in orbit

If the bugs couldn't have got the asteroids to earth within a hundred thousand years, whycomes all the cast aren't a hundred thousand years old by the time they get to Klendathu?

>>84215039

We see them firing a ton of shots and maybe land 5% of them, somehow without being able to see or calculate they have landed multiple successful hits at a passing asteroid that would've already had its own momentum, redirected it on a perfect collision course for a moving planet that would be hundreds of years away at the speeds they could've directed it at even from neighbouring solar systems without any technological support?

I'm not buying that propaganda

>>84215107
they are vampires

>>84215107

In the film they are talking about the differences between bugs and humans and Denise Richards literally says humans developed interstellar travel pointing out the bugs clearly haven't developed FTL

>>84214990
they have psychic powers...

>>84215177
Humans also don't realise bugs can think at the start of the movie, clearly they're wrong on both counts.

>>84215228
>>84215222

Not once is this proven in the film, characters claim it without anything to back it up

maybe the bugs sent the meteor as a colonization effort 100k years ago, maybe they do that all the time

>>84215269
There was the scene with the nuke where the brainbug directly controls the others

>>84214053
how to spot someone that didn't read the book.

>>84214990
Its called shitty writing and plot devices

>>84215482
Seems to me the mooks from the movie are more expendable than the nuclear cannon wielding space marines from the book, it's just a slight difference though so it's easy to miss

If only they had some sort of power armor that protected them.

The bugs seemed smarter in the book.
