Actually, the aliens' first target is the protagonist's home town. Then they move on to landmarks.

“Hollywood doesn’t know the first thing about real hacking despite them employing hack writers.”
I’ll need to remember that piece of brilliance.

Cities? Plural?
Screw that, too much effort.
Just take it to New York. Smash up lady liberty a bit more.

Aliens in movies:
Planet earth is made out of USA

[rtydhtr]

Freeman is able to singlehandedly destroy two different invading alien races because he's wearing literal plot armor

[lollollol]

You can also just have Mary Sue look the Alien Leader in the eyes and tell him that what he's doing is wrong. He then withdraws the entire alien army and goes back to his own galaxy because he was moved by her wise words and sweet innocent specialness.

In fairness, "rushing to invade without doing proper research" is a common mistake that many historical forces have made in the past, oftentimes out of arrogance for one's alleged superiority.

Or you could just defeat the alien mother ship, the main weakness of all alien invaders.

I conceptualized a story where someone from another planet escapes to earth. He was labeled a criminal in the planet he came from, so inhabitants of that planet followed him to earth. Instead of wiping away cities I actually wrote in the scenario list “Cue government having talks with alien government regarding an extraterrestrial criminal”.

Thanks for the terrible writing advice!

When Invader Zim's aliens are more believable than most aliens in movies.

[lockelamora]

Well obviously the aliens want to build a superhighway, and Earth is in the way.

Mary Sue and her love triangle is the solution to everything

[nogland]

As shitty of a movie as The 5th Wave was, I gotta give the aliens props for using emps, orbital bombardment, and disease to attack humanity's weak points instead of a dumb uncoordinated ground assault.

But thats boring, instead lets add a Love Triangle!!

[realdragon]

Aliens: Hey look, form of life that is thousands of years behind us. Let's attack them without reason and loose to inferior technology

[Nimbus]

"Hollywood doesn't know anything about hacking despite them employing hack writers"

So savage

[johncmeyer]

Let's not forget the movie 'Signs'. Where we have a race with advanced interstellar technology but they don't use any of it in their invasion. And the planet they choose to invade is covered by, what is to them, the most toxic substance in the Universe.

[idodo]

i for once accept our new poorly written overlords

[Duothimir]

I'm reminded of an old super robot anime called Daimos, wherein the alien invaders wanted to pursue peaceful relations with Earth and then a couple racist dickbags cocked the whole thing up by killing the alien king during a diplomatic meeting. And then it became Romeo and Juliet but with karate, aliens, and giant robots.

This is like Overly Sarcastic Productions’ Trope Talk, only more sarcastic.

[DrShaym]

In Peter Jackson's _Bad Taste, _ the aliens were working for an evil space corporation and came to hunt humans for our exotic meat so they could put their competition out of business.
