@@Sliterlivet They would risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people if they didn't properly evacuate cities or densely populated areas, and having been under attack that would have been challenging if not outright impossible.
@@TheBoltzz_ look closely the camera/sights of the Javelin is pointing directly at the building in front of them, that camera/sights has to see the target first to be able to lock on it
@@gremlin_uwu Also, isn't the Javelin a "top-attack" weapon designed to shoot up into the air and then come back down to strike the target on top (where terrestrial tanks and vehicles are thinly armoured)? In this film they fire directly at the tripod. Or maybe the Javelin can do both, I don't know. Great scene though.
Can you imagine the relief these soldiers felt? Like, after fighting so many losing battles and seeing their weapons being completely useless against the tripods' shields, they probably went into this thinking that they wouldn't do anything. But then the javelin hits, and that would have just been the best feeling.
the book had a great moment like this. in the book, the army's main weapon against the tripods was artillery batteries, but they were useless in every case until one time where one battery got the tripod distracted then they hit it in the back with a hidden battery behind it, destroying it. it's the first moment in the book where they aren't invincible, the moment where it becomes apparent that they can be killed. it's incredibly effective at feeling triumphant, especially for a book from the 1800's.
@@theemperor7434 yeah, I think the aliens "sync" with the war machines to pilot them and that's why the tripods look so alive in many scenes. So when the aliens start to get sick and weaker it is reflected on the machines.

1:02 he was my drill instructor in basic training. I went on to medic training while he was apparently making a movie with Tom Cruise. When I finished my training 4 months later, I went to see this movie in the theater and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him.
One thing I like about this movie and this scene in particular is it doesnt go down the usual hollywood path. Tom Cruise's character doesnt partake in the attack against it. He points out that it has no shield, which seems bizarre that he would only notice it but it makes sense as the soldiers were more worried about getting civilians out of there. Then the military takes over and does all the work while Tom Cruise's character gets to safety. It's got a realistic vibe to it. But that might just be me
The whole movie is so realistic and that's what makes it so great. No stupid and pointless heroic fighting scenes. Its just bare bones survival by one family. And the aliens look wicked cool too.
The only thing I didn't really like about this movie was the massive plot armor his son was wearing when he decides to run over that hill to watch the military fight against the aliens. You see soldiers fighting frantically, vehicles on fire while escaping the alien's attacks. Obviously soldiers are having a tough time against them. Then he just shows up at the end as if nothing happened. It'd be different if they got separated more naturally, like say a tripod blast hit near them and his whereabouts were unknown due to the massive confusion and fighting.
One of my favorite things about this movie is how they actually hired real troops to depict the military in this movie. They asked them what they would do in the scenarios played out in the film and that played a big part in how some of these scenes played out. It’s hard to act like a soldier if you’ve never been one yourself, and these guys don’t really need a lot of acting experience because they’re already accustomed to running training exercises and simulations where they need to act like it’s the real deal. All you gotta do is tell them to do their jobs while the cameras are rolling. I wish more films would do this, given they have the budget for it. Makes it feel so much more authentic, you can tell these guys are real troops. The movement, the way they handle their weapons, the body language, the communication, etc. They did an amazing job considering the confines of the script
Definitely know what you're talking about there. I saw the same actions in Rogue One movie, and my ex argued, the rebels were actors and I kept telling her, they're real veterans or real military. Shortly afterwards, there were multiple articles revealing they hired Veterans to play the rebels in Rogue One.
I reckon that: not only do the Aliens pilot the tripods, but they have an almost mentally synchronised control over them. A bit like in Pacific Rim, the jaegers and their pilots were in synch. That's why the shields went down, because the alien was sick and therefore the overall bodily functions weren't fully capable for both pilot and tripod. In a more simple explanation: Alien = no immune system Tripod = no shield

It started with the tripod and passed to the invaders, or vice versa, which would cancel out functions of their craft like the ability to project energy offensively and defensively. Notice here it tried using its side mounted heat rays and they just wouldn’t fire. 1:48
@@ebonkinght Yeah, makes you wonder how the war would have gone if the tripods never had shields to begin with, it would probably be not as one sided.
I love that the squad leader goes from calmly trying to get the civilians to safety to "Fuck it, we're killing this son of a bitch" in the space of about five seconds.
It probably helps that he found out that they probably COULD actually kill it now. After all, realizing they were outgunned and unable to do a damn thing against the shields probably shifted their priorities to civilian protection, but upon hearing that the shields were down, and that they probably weren't going to get a better chance, he took it.
My guess why the tripods lost their shields is they were crewed by numerous aliens and when they started to die there weren’t enough to effectively crew the tripods and keep the shields running
@@Paveway-chan that just seems like a really poor design choice by the aliens. Maybe they accidentally turned them off, perhaps accidentally disabling them while they became delirious
@@Chineseconcrete Why would that be a poor design choice? Isn't the stupid part that these hyperadvanced extraterrestrials never considered that there'd be diseases on Earth they have no immunity against?
@@Paveway-chan the way I see it is that did realize this and was trying to quickly terrafotm earth with the red plants but they must be off on their calculations and royally fuck uo when the process is taking longer than it should be
Hell no. There were hundreds of these things, and probably tens of thousands worldwide. The tripod wasn't even fighting back either. If that tripod was able to fight back, it would've vaporised all those soldiers before they could down it.
Dcseal Lets just say that whit Aliens not having shields the combat was going to be more balanced and tripods were going to be shut down easily thanks to the airforce.
Martian 16 years since then: "Wanna invade that planet you've been talking about?" Another Martian: "Nah, I heard that a disease much worse than the one that killed our comrades has infected that planet." 2021: "Ok guys, you're up!"
Actually, the tripods are bio-mechanial, half machine half organism. So the tripod itself got infected, disabling the shield in the process. still funny tho
You gotta give them credit for making a last stand. I'd imagine they'd say something like this among themselves: "Oh, look. It's the insignificant human defenses." "Our end is nigh..." "Engage Battle!" "We die proving that they should be afraid."
Taylor Fritschmann They wanted our blood, or whatever was in our blood. But since we carry viruses and diseases, the aliens couldn't fight it off and they ended up dying off diseases, viruses, etc
+Taylor Fritschmann According to H.G. Wells, The Martians eat our blood. They don't have any digestive organs, so they feed by transfusing it to themselves via mechanical syringes. The ones in the movie however aren't related to Well's Novel. They use our blood as part of the xenoforming of earth
“It was behaving erratically. Kept walking around in circles. Went down on its own about an hour ago.” Huh. Guess drunk drivers are a thing even on Mars.
Yeah, drunk on AIDS, Cancer, Cholera, Tuberculosis, Herpes, and whatever else is in all that human blood they've been drinking. Including literal drugs and alcohol.
The book by H G Wells created the concept of alien invasion, and the hundreds of subsequent novels and movies probably make it the most influential piece of fiction in history.
In the late 19th Century, there was a popular genre in British literature called "invasion fiction." It basically featured Britain getting invaded by France or Germany or Russia, or whoever they were having a rivalry with that year. HG Wells decided to take that genre and ask "what if Britain was on the same level as the Tasmanians we invaded?"
HG Wells was a certified genius - just read about his life and works. A man ahead of his time ... and he invented time travel fiction as we know it, in The Time Machine
When I was watching this, I thought the tripods were actually invincible along with the aliens, but when this scene happened, it was satisfying as hell to watch the tripods being shot down. Just as satisfying as the scene where Tom Cruise was in the cage with the soldier and the grenades exploded inside the machine.
@@A-242theentitycaller: Because throughout the movie, no matter what the military did or attempted, the tripods would not go down. And when they finally find a way to destroy them, it's very satisfying to watch such a powerful weapon being taken down.
@@A-242theentitycaller: Oooh. I didn't notice your profile pic or name when I replied to you the first time. I see why you're saying this now. Lol. Sorry.
Nah listen to this dude at 0:06 "It started behaving irradicaly and starting spinning around in circles and crashed on its own" I forgot his lines srry XD
I. Th. or maybe the alien in its dying moment just push random button and accidentally turn off the shield. like when human got a heart attack while in a car, he/she may grab whatever switch/handle inside the car, it could be the signaling lamp, wiper on, lowing down the window glass, etc.
"Later when their bodies were examined in the laboratories, it was found that they were killed by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared. . . slain, after all man's defenses had failed, by the humblest thing that God in His wisdom put upon this earth." -Orson Welles
Bluslime Productions No they didn't. Humans punish themselves with war and man made biologicals, mustard gas, smallpox and plague we still have, retroviruses engineered in labs from nature to enhance their abilities. God didn't do anything, except sit there and claim things that he never did.
They need to stop putting useless kids in horror/thriller movies. Jurassic World did the same thing. Hollywood needs to take a page from The Last of Us. If you make the kids actually competent and useful we will care when they are in danger.
both of the kids actually. i heard that from the book the story was from a military personnel's perspective. should have stick to that. not all of them died anyway, just look at these soldiers in boston. would have been far greater movie with more action and less family drama and ear rape.
The splinter scene in the beginning foreshadows the downfall of the aliens. If you have the chance to halt an infection from spreading, do so when you can, don’t allow your hubris to ignore the smallest detail.
It is stupid that a far more advanced race with the ability to terraform a foreign planet would have no knowledge of biology and would have made no study about possible infections on a foreign planet. The end of this film is bogus...
I was an AT-4 tank hunter with a M249. And then a 240B gunner (think M60). A buddy of mine was a Javelin gunner. That is a bitch to carry on the back of a Bradley. 😅
You’re right, sure the lasers were more powerful than any weapon mankind has excluding the nuclear bomb, but we could’ve mobilized and destroyed those tripods before they took over the country. Their shields is what really gave them the edge over humanity.
Without shields they would never of stood a chance. Their heat rays don't exactly have much range so tanks aircraft and artillery could destroy them with impunity beyond the Tripods effective range.
Maybe….. even without the shields it would be hard. Gotta remember they did a surprise attack, so we were caught off guard big time. But I lean towards us winning since they don’t have any aircraft or artillery. The aliens put too much stock on their shields. All the tripods do is aim and shoot lasers.
@@Chrissli3 not true in the slightest. While adults are safer than young children and the elderly, this is a team effort. Those who are vulnerable are made safer by societal efforts to quarantine and isolate.
Chrissli3 Not really true If your infected with COVID-19 and is healthy, you will live Just isolate yourself You’ll infect others if you dont isolate yourself
I think you folks are all overreacting a tad bit. The screams barely last a few seconds at most. Given the overall panic and combat-intensive situation in this scene, it's natural for children to let out their fear, especially if you *can* imagine seeing such tremendous and creepy alien machinery stomping around.
because most people want Hollywood cliché plot shit that all prime time shows constantly recycle. By far, Rachael's behaviour throughout this entire film was one of the things that made it, she is behaving like AN ACTUAL CHILD WOULD during an apocalyptic event. This is going to sound dumb to some people, but when I saw this movie when I was 7, she was the only character I related to, and it made the experience watching it all the more scary because I (and most kids that saw it in 2005) would have behaved the exact same way, even adults would be screaming and crying. These people want her to be that unrealistic character that suddenly becomes this mastermind kid genius tough girl recycled cliché shit that is boring as hell, and frankly, makes no sense. People always want the recycled content because they aren't creative enough to think outside of the box on their own. so they fawn over whatever movie is thrown in their face and reject anything that is different. This movie is by far then only alien invasion film that conveys emotional realism. The characters are just regular people like you and I trying to survive during mayhem. Its simplicity makes the film all the more scary, because anyone can relate to the story.
"These people want her to be that unrealistic character", and there is the problem. What is real and what is unreal? It depends on the person. Would a kid do this, or is it what you think a kid would do. Like adults, kids will react in a wide variety of ways as well. To say only one way is 'realistic' shows a lack of understanding of what is real.
@@M4x_P0w3r Still, you gotta give them points for trying. But you're right. They didn't focus too hard on conventional armor and focused too much on shield technology. If you listened or played the game about Jeff Wayne's war of thd worlds, then I'd imagine the Martians would say this: "Oh, look. It's the insignificant human defenses. My, they seemed to have armed themselves. Our end is nigh."
Hey.. HEY, HEY, look at the birds! I can't hear you. Look at the god damn birds! No shield! I can't hear you! No shield! The javelin is the key! Load the Gustav, it's gonna be a tough kill.

5:03 to 5:07 Gene Barry (Dr. Clayton Forrester) and Ann Robinson (Sylvia Van Buren) from the original 1953 "War of The Worlds" movie in a cameo role as the Grandparents. R.I.P Gene Barry and Ann Robinson as this was their last film role together before they both sadly passed away a few years later.
I often like thinking about what happens AFTER the movie ends. And the truth is... its not happy for this movie. Most countries still around would begin a race to retrieve, reverse engineer and apply the technology of the martians. And the instability the world would be in would give rise to conquerors and invaders of the Human variety, taking advantage of the weakened state of others. Which ever nation is successful in fully integrating the martian technology first would dominate the planet.
I get what you are saying, but after all the destruction and terror we had seen from these machines do you really think even the most evil person on earth (no pun intended) would have the balls to go inside even a fallen Tripod? And if somebody actually does there's still the thought that something could go wrong when trying to operate it. Even reverse engineering would be extremely risky.
Kaneohe We have PLENTY of insane people on Earth, my friend. The majority of them are in the pursuit of Science too. Look at history, in fact, a particular part of history that we are familiar with, WW2. Nazi Germany had an army of scientists lining up to perform dangerous and far fetched experiments in the name of the Fatherland. Anti-gravity research, VTOL, Rocket, Nuclear and radiation testing, stealth technology. And all of this only about two or three decades AFTER WW1, which was considered the bloodiest war in human history. Even myself, as an example, would volunteer to jump into a Black hole knowing I would die. But to be the first Human to go into a Black Hole would put me down in the history books for hundreds of years. Similar mindset applies to reverse-engineering alien tech.
Rob Nie Acually Japan might be the best super power since They were already taking them down before any other nation on earth except maby the middle eastern nations
I love how this scene has so much details, like at 1:20 u can see the tripod have a broken horn without echo. Or at 2:20 hearing a little victory theme, or even at 2:26 seeing the tripod trying to hold the building to not fall, it was just the movie being so well made and good special effects. Shame it didnt win the best CGI prize.
After watching this movie close to a hundred times over the years…I finally realized that Spielberg threw in a Wilhelm scream at 2:31. It’s quiet but you can make it out
Starteller Interesting, but if an invasion were to happen, we'd repel the first attempt, and maybe fail on the second attempt. If you want to take over the world, then eliminate every Navy and Air Force power, then you'll have control of the Air and Sea.
Imperial Gaming That's a bit of a simplified view of the subject, don'tcha think? Also, why would we be able to repel the initial attempts? In my opinion, air and naval power would probably be rendered moot anyway. Air and Sea battle are all about supremacy in their theaters (an oversimplification again but, yeah)-- if we're going on the assumption of overwhelmingly superior technology, I doubt that either type of force on Earth could even hinder them while being fully operational.
What? How the shit would they invade afterwards if the planets nothing but a heap of rubble with an atmosphere thats heated to 200+ Celsius? Water evaporating, then the winters afterwards.. Yea, lets make the planet uninhabitable before we invade. C'mon now.

I reckon that: not only do the Aliens pilot the tripods, but they have an almost mentally synchronised control over them. A bit like in Pacific Rim, the jaegers and their pilots were in synch. That's why the shields went down, because the alien was sick and therefore the overall bodily functions weren't fully capable for both pilot and tripod.
In a more simple explanation:
Alien = no immune system
Tripod = no shield

yes the entire film SCREAMING SCREAMING SCREAMING
deadkemper 100th like😏
deadkemper agree
Yeah, they simply wouldn't behave like that.
I love that the squad leader goes from calmly trying to get the civilians to safety to "Fuck it, we're killing this son of a bitch" in the space of about five seconds.
Who cares? High command is vaporised.
The way it should be 💪🏻
It probably helps that he found out that they probably COULD actually kill it now. After all, realizing they were outgunned and unable to do a damn thing against the shields probably shifted their priorities to civilian protection, but upon hearing that the shields were down, and that they probably weren't going to get a better chance, he took it.
I mean that tripod is the only one in the area endangering civilians so light it up
Merica
My guess why the tripods lost their shields is they were crewed by numerous aliens and when they started to die there weren’t enough to effectively crew the tripods and keep the shields running
Or the tripods were biomechanical, and the disease that kills the alien pilots also infected some component of the walker as well
They were probably in snync with each pilots minds and when each alien became ill, functions of the tripods couldn’t be used effectively
@@Paveway-chan that just seems like a really poor design choice by the aliens. Maybe they accidentally turned them off, perhaps accidentally disabling them while they became delirious
@@Chineseconcrete
Why would that be a poor design choice? Isn't the stupid part that these hyperadvanced extraterrestrials never considered that there'd be diseases on Earth they have no immunity against?
@@Paveway-chan the way I see it is that did realize this and was trying to quickly terrafotm earth with the red plants but they must be off on their calculations and royally fuck uo when the process is taking longer than it should be
I don’t understate the hate this movie gets. I love it
so basically without the shields we would have annihilated them the day they landed
Hell no. There were hundreds of these things, and probably tens of thousands worldwide. The tripod wasn't even fighting back either. If that tripod was able to fight back, it would've vaporised all those soldiers before they could down it.
Not really... Even without shields, we would have just stood a better chance but still failed if it weren't for the fuckton of bacteria on our planet.
Dcseal in the end: Mother Nature is the greatest weapon on earth..
Dcseal Lets just say that whit Aliens not having shields the combat was going to be more balanced and tripods were going to be shut down easily thanks to the airforce.
Well without gunfire an army is also useless

I know right!
You gotta give them credit for making a last stand. I'd imagine they'd say something like this among themselves:
"Oh, look. It's the insignificant human defenses."
"Our end is nigh..."
"Engage Battle!"
"We die proving that they should be afraid."

why did the aliens attack humans anyway?
Taylor Fritschmann They wanted our blood, or whatever was in our blood. But since we carry viruses and diseases, the aliens couldn't fight it off and they ended up dying off diseases, viruses, etc
+Taylor Fritschmann According to H.G. Wells, The Martians eat our blood. They don't have any digestive organs, so they feed by transfusing it to themselves via mechanical syringes.
The ones in the movie however aren't related to Well's Novel. They use our blood as part of the xenoforming of earth
2:29 those poor bastards...killed like 3 minutes before it was over
Aliens: Come to Earth to invade it.
Bacteria: You don't seem to realize, Earth isn't yours to conquer.

“It was behaving erratically. Kept walking around in circles. Went down on its own about an hour ago.”

The book by H G Wells created the concept of alien invasion, and the hundreds of subsequent novels and movies probably make it the most influential piece of fiction in history.
Thank God we have commenters like you. I'm always on the lookout for insightful people like you.
Wait really? Holy crap it probably is then. I wish this movie and the book got more credit.
In the late 19th Century, there was a popular genre in British literature called "invasion fiction." It basically featured Britain getting invaded by France or Germany or Russia, or whoever they were having a rivalry with that year. HG Wells decided to take that genre and ask "what if Britain was on the same level as the Tasmanians we invaded?"
Tolkien would like to have a word with you
HG Wells was a certified genius - just read about his life and works. A man ahead of his time ... and he invented time travel fiction as we know it, in The Time Machine
Ahh the javelin from clapping alien cheeks to ruskie tank hordes lol
When I was watching this, I thought the tripods were actually invincible along with the aliens, but when this scene happened, it was satisfying as hell to watch the tripods being shot down. Just as satisfying as the scene where Tom Cruise was in the cage with the soldier and the grenades exploded inside the machine.
Why do the people think its satisfying to Get the tripods down?
@@A-242theentitycaller: Because throughout the movie, no matter what the military did or attempted, the tripods would not go down. And when they finally find a way to destroy them, it's very satisfying to watch such a powerful weapon being taken down.

"Zorbak, I have aids"
"Better turn the shields off then"
doesn't answer the question why they turn their machine's shield off.
I. Th. or maybe the alien in its dying moment just push random button and accidentally turn off the shield. like when human got a heart attack while in a car, he/she may grab whatever switch/handle inside the car, it could be the signaling lamp, wiper on, lowing down the window glass, etc.
Naho Saenoki the shields are down because the ship is obviously partially organic. Remember the pink tentacles that sucked people up?
I. Th. Notice how the lights on the ship were also flickering. The ship was dying just like the Aliens
I. Th. I think it malfunctioned because the tripod was sick. Go watch that scene where the people get sucked up from the cages. It's alive inside:)

The worst part of this movie was Dakota Fanning's ear-shattering screaming
Agreed. This would be one of my favorite movies if it wasn't for that.
They need to stop putting useless kids in horror/thriller movies. Jurassic World did the same thing. Hollywood needs to take a page from The Last of Us. If you make the kids actually competent and useful we will care when they are in danger.
Ironically, her performance was well received by critics... even if she was annoying as f*ck lol
Ear rape
both of the kids actually. i heard that from the book the story was from a military personnel's perspective. should have stick to that. not all of them died anyway, just look at these soldiers in boston. would have been far greater movie with more action and less family drama and ear rape.
The splinter scene in the beginning foreshadows the downfall of the aliens. If you have the chance to halt an infection from spreading, do so when you can, don’t allow your hubris to ignore the smallest detail.
It is stupid that a far more advanced race with the ability to terraform a foreign planet would have no knowledge of biology and would have made no study about possible infections on a foreign planet. The end of this film is bogus...

Damn if they didn’t have shields then we prolly would have won on our own
You’re right, sure the lasers were more powerful than any weapon mankind has excluding the nuclear bomb, but we could’ve mobilized and destroyed those tripods before they took over the country. Their shields is what really gave them the edge over humanity.
Without shields they would never of stood a chance. Their heat rays don't exactly have much range so tanks aircraft and artillery could destroy them with impunity beyond the Tripods effective range.
Maybe….. even without the shields it would be hard. Gotta remember they did a surprise attack, so we were caught off guard big time. But I lean towards us winning since they don’t have any aircraft or artillery. The aliens put too much stock on their shields. All the tripods do is aim and shoot lasers.

I think you folks are all overreacting a tad bit. The screams barely last a few seconds at most.
Given the overall panic and combat-intensive situation in this scene, it's natural for children to let out their fear, especially if you *can* imagine seeing such tremendous and creepy alien machinery stomping around.
I don’t give a fuck, this is a movie about aliens invading earth and vaporizing us. I hate the little girl’s fucking screaming
The girl screamed throughout the entire movie
Once or twice, okay, but the entire movie was grating.
because most people want Hollywood cliché plot shit that all prime time shows constantly recycle. By far, Rachael's behaviour throughout this entire film was one of the things that made it, she is behaving like AN ACTUAL CHILD WOULD during an apocalyptic event. This is going to sound dumb to some people, but when I saw this movie when I was 7, she was the only character I related to, and it made the experience watching it all the more scary because I (and most kids that saw it in 2005) would have behaved the exact same way, even adults would be screaming and crying. These people want her to be that unrealistic character that suddenly becomes this mastermind kid genius tough girl recycled cliché shit that is boring as hell, and frankly, makes no sense. People always want the recycled content because they aren't creative enough to think outside of the box on their own. so they fawn over whatever movie is thrown in their face and reject anything that is different.
This movie is by far then only alien invasion film that conveys emotional realism. The characters are just regular people like you and I trying to survive during mayhem. Its simplicity makes the film all the more scary, because anyone can relate to the story.
"These people want her to be that unrealistic character", and there is the problem. What is real and what is unreal? It depends on the person. Would a kid do this, or is it what you think a kid would do. Like adults, kids will react in a wide variety of ways as well. To say only one way is 'realistic' shows a lack of understanding of what is real.
Gotta give the tripod some credit: without shields, outnumbered and dying, it still turned to fight, tried to make a last stand.
Last Stand before getting Raped in the ass by Vengefull Humans
Javilens 1 tripod 0
It still died.
It got taken down by a handful of soldier with Javelins. For being superior war cyborg machines, they don't have much defense other than the shields
@@M4x_P0w3r Still, you gotta give them points for trying. But you're right. They didn't focus too hard on conventional armor and focused too much on shield technology. If you listened or played the game about Jeff Wayne's war of thd worlds, then I'd imagine the Martians would say this:
"Oh, look. It's the insignificant human defenses. My, they seemed to have armed themselves. Our end is nigh."
I wish the entire movie was like this, where the tripods dont have shields like the original book
Hey.. HEY, HEY, look at the birds!

“DAMN IT JERRY THIS IS THE 5TH PLANET”
The last gesture of the dying alien should have been a raised middle finger
I often like thinking about what happens AFTER the movie ends. And the truth is... its not happy for this movie. Most countries still around would begin a race to retrieve, reverse engineer and apply the technology of the martians. And the instability the world would be in would give rise to conquerors and invaders of the Human variety, taking advantage of the weakened state of others.
Which ever nation is successful in fully integrating the martian technology first would dominate the planet.
I get what you are saying, but after all the destruction and terror we had seen from these machines do you really think even the most evil person on earth (no pun intended) would have the balls to go inside even a fallen Tripod? And if somebody actually does there's still the thought that something could go wrong when trying to operate it. Even reverse engineering would be extremely risky.
Kaneohe We have PLENTY of insane people on Earth, my friend. The majority of them are in the pursuit of Science too. Look at history, in fact, a particular part of history that we are familiar with, WW2.
Nazi Germany had an army of scientists lining up to perform dangerous and far fetched experiments in the name of the Fatherland. Anti-gravity research, VTOL, Rocket, Nuclear and radiation testing, stealth technology. And all of this only about two or three decades AFTER WW1, which was considered the bloodiest war in human history.
Even myself, as an example, would volunteer to jump into a Black hole knowing I would die. But to be the first Human to go into a Black Hole would put me down in the history books for hundreds of years. Similar mindset applies to reverse-engineering alien tech.
Just for fun, which counties do you think would be the first to adapt alien technology and become the new superpowers?

A real alien invasion would simply push asteroids from the asteroid belt toward us.
Really effective, really economical.
A real alien invasion, only needs to control the 1%...the worlds Elites? The rest will be like sheep?
That's not accounting for if they want the stuff they find here, though.
Starteller Interesting, but if an invasion were to happen, we'd repel the first attempt, and maybe fail on the second attempt. If you want to take over the world, then eliminate every Navy and Air Force power, then you'll have control of the Air and Sea.
Imperial Gaming That's a bit of a simplified view of the subject, don'tcha think? Also, why would we be able to repel the initial attempts?
In my opinion, air and naval power would probably be rendered moot anyway. Air and Sea battle are all about supremacy in their theaters (an oversimplification again but, yeah)-- if we're going on the assumption of overwhelmingly superior technology, I doubt that either type of force on Earth could even hinder them while being fully operational.
What? How the shit would they invade afterwards if the planets nothing but a heap of rubble with an atmosphere thats heated to 200+ Celsius? Water evaporating, then the winters afterwards..
