Advanced Sci-fi Civilisations Too Stupid To Really Exist Ep.19 - The Novans (After Earth)

Using these things to protect the holy land is almost as stupid as someone calling down bears from the mountain to kill some kids that called you bald

On one hand, perhaps their civilization is too stupid to exist.

On another hand, I'm a member of a civilization actively depleting its resources in a race to the bottom over profit, polluting the very planet it relies on, and that deletes children before they're born out of convenience.

Shouldn’t the crusades; the first two anyway be seen as religious successes?

Why didn't the aliens just tell the humans that the planet had religious significance to them and then help them relocate to a better planet? Seems like the easiest solution for both sides would have been just picking up the telephone.
Actually how is there oxygen when there is no apparent life on the Novan planet? The free oxygen in our atmosphere is the byproduct of cellular life a billion years ago.

Hurts my head to listen to this. 😅

Idiot pacifists lol

What I really want to know is why do they only use scythes and not...real weapons?

unfortunately this is not will's worst work - marrying jada is 1st and and making that remix with bomba estereo is 2nd

In a simple summary, they're the Meriachhanz point of view.. ..this movie.
The leader in Bandaid solutions.. ..throw away or leave is priority to problems.. ..then invade by screaming n shouting calling it freedom/liberty..😅

Now imagine real Aussies or Kiwi's dealt with this scenario.. ..we'd be the baboons and aggressors of the land, never having left.. ..and the sluggs, well, that's the surviving insurance Co's..🤣😂

Yeah, this movie was so unbeliveably stupid and cringy i cannot force myself to even watch your vid about how stupid it was... sorry :-)

Everyone involved in this, both in universe and out, is a moron.

Ok, so maybe they are like churches in their society. Several religious organizations are trying to wipe out the humans, but the ruling organizations don't care enough about the issue.

Imagine if you place say Chai in front of a pack of Ursas…

Any reality that relies on jaden smith to save humanity is already fucked and beyond help.

I've listend to this twice and I am still not sure if they are Rangers or Ragers....

Plants produce oxygen, and the eath in this movie is basically a rainforest... I don't think oxygen will be a problem there.

“Humans are a walking talking mass extinction event” is probably the most accurate description of mankind that’s ever existed.

Yep, Go back to Earth leave Nova Prime to the Skrell Two birds with one stone. No more war.

I hate you for reminding me this movie exists

How he treats his kids irl

i don't think there would be lack of oxygen , from amount of water sources, lavish vegetation and the kind of animals shown, it seems earth is going through a period similar to the mid-late Eocene (there are fully evolved primates), and the oxygen levels in that age where pretty similar to what we have today.

Even if the goal is to wipe out humanity without sending troops to the ground, just be patient. Instead of sending a dozen URSAs every hundred years, grow your breeding stock and just make as many of the things as you can. Then drop several thousand in population centers and call it a day. It should not be this complicated.

Especially since the Novans are so damned stupid. Decided to do a bit of looking around online to check lore stuff. Apparently there was an official app that had you signing up to be part of the select few who would go to the new world as colonists aboard the Arks. What were the options for ship-board duties? Historian, cook, maintenance, cop, and snake - a criminal & deceiver. Now, even if this wasn't supposed to be an in-universe recruitment tool, it's making it clear that the Novans can't even manage to hand-pick a few thousand people who won't immediately blackmail their superiors.
Another fantastic fact from that app is that there's only 750,000 colonists in Project Next Generation - sending people away from Earth on the Arks. So humanity should totally still be on Earth, and it doesn't make any sense that they're all wiped out. Or that the Novans have barely grown their population over a 900 fucking years with sci-fi tech.


Aside from all that, the Novans knew very early on that the Skrel would carefully target airstrikes to only destroy human constructions. So why not do what so many other people living in hot & rocky landscapes did, dig a fucking hole in the ground? I recognize they made bunkers, but this should be expanded to make up most living spaces. Just use those massive canyons for any access to the outside, making it much harder for Skrel to target infrastructure. Don't build fancy future cities which probably need resource-intensive air conditioning when digging a deep hole will make your temperatures consistent and habitable, while also keeping you safe from invasions. Then you just need a way to seal off habitable areas which is invisible to the URSAs and you'll be completely safe from the only Skrel threat.

Couldn't they just design suits that insulates all human smell? Seems a better approach than trying to teach humans not be scared.

I hated this film so, so much. The worst thing about it was that young Smith horror.

Clearly no one in Hollywood hunts....

A mine, a scent spray and a noise maker is all they need to bait these things in.... that's like $40 and a trip to a hardware store.

Oh they got metal in their skin, breath air, and have sensory organs... . be a real shame if they were set on fire.

Or maybe use giant magnets to collect them.

Or run electrical currents thru all that metal.

Abandon a planet? Sure that makes much more sense and clearly more economical and logical.

So, we are far in the future, have incredibly advanced ships and medical equipment, yet have moved completely away from kinetic weapons that provide distance between the user and its target? They only use weapons you have to be a few feet away to inflict damage? I’m pretty certain a single tank battalion and a few attack choppers, could wipe every one of those Ursa out with relative ease. One dude with a Barrett M82 .50 cal could drop a few dozen of those things before they got anywhere close enough to inflict harm. The Novans apparently have zero survival instincts.

Film was crap it was only for his kid to start acting

so stupid who dreamed this trash up

Wait, there are lush jungles and plants are still green, what happened to photosynthesis? WHY IS THERE NO OXYGEN?! The baboons and tiger and bigbird seem to be doing fine. If the air is so thin, HOW DOES THE GIANT BIRD FLY?

40k Space Marines vs Ursa would be the most comically 1 sided cross franchise match in sci-fi history, big super strong damage resitant aliens gentically engineered to kill by locking in on fear pheromones against super soldiers who 'know no fear' inside suits of fully enclosed power armour carrying standard infantry weapons capable of knocking out IFV's as there basic 'rifle' is a fully automatic RPG launcher, a single Astartes could probably solo the whole invasion force

I always get a good laugh when someone tells me they liked this movie.

Hollywood doesn't have anything but Shiite shows and woke shiite actors. Actresses, and those that don't know who or what they are. Will Smith? Lol, he's laughing all the way to the bank. Where his Husband..I dunno, woman with the cojones? Will take all his dockets and ban him from peeing standing up.
HCB has spoken.

Wait. Wait wait wait... So a airtight space suit or biosuit would render you invisible to Ursa. How dafaq did we ever lose anyone to these things in battle after they figured out ghosting? LMFAO 😂🤣😂

this is the battlefield earth of Will's career.

"For Will 'Cypher Rage' Smith, ghosting seems to have had the added effect of robbing Will of other emotions such as happiness, enjoyment and love leaving him only with anger, resentment, disappointment, and an all-around negative buzz" confirmation that the Skrull were not just modelled physicially on, but also fully inspired by Jada Pinkett Smith.

Jayden sucks at acting and writing music the only reason people even who he is is cuz of his dad

Doesn't make sense to find a signal on top of a volcano, volcano produces EPB which literally blocks signals and communication.

They sense fear.... great, predator drone strikes would be pretty effective then. Or how about using the same intelect that built interstellar spacecraft to make an army of T-800 that, as Kyle so eloquently put it "can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with. doesn't feel pity! Or remorse or fear and absolutely will not stop!... ever... until [the Ursa] are dead!" The Ursa are really only a threat to a caveman population.

Only Hollywood could be dumb enough to write a story that doesn't understand how either religion or evolution works.

I loved this movie, although I don’t have a high IQ, I found it quite entertaining

This movie reminds me of, years ago, when I was this really hardcore fan of Mega Man. I used to frequent the Mega Man Home Page all the time. Dude had a paragraph about Mega Man X5 just titled "stupid questions" that was just one question about plotholes after the other. Stuff like "If this guy hates fighting why is he a weapons dealer? Where's Dr. Cain? Are X and Zero centuries old at this point?" Stuff like that. I really feel like that's all you'd have to do to mock this movie, is just a shotgun blast of stupid questions. "If humans haven't lived there for centuries why has everything evolved to kill humans? How does the planet freeze over every night? Why do they use close-range spears against these creatures instead of guns using the same material? If the entire planet is covered in trees why is there no oxygen? If the monsters only detect fear then why not hunt them with drones? Why not isolate the "fear smell" and use it to bait traps, or create fear smell suppressing sprays, the way hunters use pheromones and smell blockers? Why not make a suit that masks the fear smell, if they have the tech to make a suit that changes colors based on environmental dangers?" Why does the suit change colors based on environmental dangers instead of something simple like using the member's earpiece to deliver info? And so forth.

Slap and wear pink panties no thanks

Lord, this movie failed over every possible level. Next time Will don't choose wooden painfully untalented son to play the main character. In only 1000 years everything on earth has evolved to kill you, Yeah Im pretty sure thats not how it works. M. Night, is doing his career in reverse. He did his best film first and has gotten worse with each movie after.

What made the earth more dangerous then it was now

This movie was so bad im thinking less of you for covering it, even under your format

You are such a brit. You're not secular, you're just anti catholic. That rant about religion told it all. Given the deceit from the scientific and blatent lies from governments over the last 3 years, I should think that you would question all insitutional structures....but no.

Smith literally came up with the ideal for this trash movie while watching a episode of I shouldn't be alive
