Friendly Aliens.

How come it's always death a destruction with these guys and never sunshine and lollipops and skipping hand in hand into the sunset.
Do we have any examples of friendly aliens,surely there must be a few decent sorts among them?

This country has centuries of bad luck with people who show up on our shores. It might be wishful thinking to suppose that things would be better just because they rock up in a flying saucer. :pac:

Consider, if you will, the conquistadors. In our own history it rarely worked out well for people when they were visited by more technologically advanced others.

"monsters" is a pretty decent alien film: to write anymore would spoil it for those who haven't seen it. Love the theme tune...was used in the ROG documentary by RTE.

This guy was friendly!

Aliens in 'Contact' were a helpful / friendly sort. As were those in 'Interstellar' but I'm not sure that counts.

Arthur C Clarke's Childhood's End dies a decent job with the whole alien contact thing.

One would hope that a species technologically advanced enough to reach us would also be socially advanced enough to see the benefits of being friendly. Also, it's unlikely that we would have anything that they need.

Of course, they could be so fundamentally different from us that they don't even recognise us as intelligent life. They could view us the way we view a virus, bacteria, snail etc.

Even if aliens tried to be nice they'd kill us all with their alien germs. ET should have been torched for the safety of humanity.

DVDM93 · 07-03-2015 03:21AM

District 9 was on tonight. To me the aliens were the nice ones, some of them cute even. The humans were just cnuts.

It's the human race I worry about, not aliens.

Haven't seen it, but from what I hear that was the whole point. The movie was a metaphor for apartheid.

The problem with this scenario of 'us' thinking of meeting benevolent aliens is that we are a paranoid civilisation. We just cannot accept and co-exist with our own world family of human beings without killing them for something or other.

Many human beings are happy in their box thinking they are safe and tranquil, and even cloud cover makes them warm and cosy within this cotton-wool encompassed enclosure disregarding the immense outer-ness of space while scurrying around nervous of something in-coming to our little box atmosphere.

Would a sane person really think a friendly alien would visit us physically for the human experience ? not a fcuking chance man. If they had the technology to warp space and time to visit this planet I'm sure they would remove the nuisance and make good use of the planet they now own.

If any alien species exists that is advanced enough to travel here, we would be so pathetically primitive by comparison that I don't see why they'd pay us any attention at all. Imagine walking past a pond full of tadpoles on your way to work.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind, watched it for the first time recently actually

Yeah, the oppressor becoming the oppressed. To quote Blomkamp himself, "the Nazi becoming the holocaust victim"

I agree. They'd probably be so advanced that it'd be similar to us trying to teach a monkey what a plane or rocket is, and that'd be even worse if we were to try and teach monkeys how to build a plane or rocket. Their technology could possibly be beyond our comprehension. It's nice to think that they'd still appreciate another intelligent life form though, just like we would if we discovered one on another planet.

Friendly Aliens.
