@@HOLDENPOPE Well, they don't need the value of family AND friends. Maybe they have no concept of biological family, but organize themselves in pack-like structure which are part of a horde and so on and so on.

@Adymn Sani - With the Vulcans... no... First contact with them is shown in the move "First Contact," between a Vulcan science ship that originally had no interest in Earth... "too primitive," but when they detect the first warp flight from Earth, they alter their course out of scientific curiosity. And as per Star Trek's lore, the United Earth representing humanity and the Vulcans build a fairly functional alliance that ultimately leads to the United Federation of Planets. By the original series, Vulcans are present in Starfleet and the one we know the most about... Spock was serving as First Officer onboard the USS Enterprise and befriending James T. Kirk and Bones McCoy. And Spock was actually half Vulcan... So in the case of the Vulcans, first contact went well, was peaceful, and led to a friendly exchange of relations. Logically this lead to Sarek marrying Spock's mother.
on thin I always found interesting in the mass effect universe during the first contact war the Humans thought that they were losing the war with the Turians but if you read some of the comics and other media related to it you learn that the Turians were losing the war. The Turian military doctrine always relied on using overwhelming force to win its wars and battles but even though the humans had inferior technology and weapons their tactics took the Turians by surprise and they did not really know how to respond to a smaller enemy that was outmaneuvering them. They never anticipated that the humans would abandon the planet with their fleet only to lure the Turians in and give them a false sense of security then come back with even more forces after most of the Turian fleet had already left.
Alien: We have searched for life in the open space for a millennium and finally the search is over, we welcome you and we come in peace. Human: We'll bang ok?
When I play Stellaris I befriend the other major power with a non-aggression pact then subsequently invade S many other factions as possible and turn their local populations into livestock, it works extremely well.
You might need some reeducation, citizen, Imperial dogma seems to elude you. Fear not, the Adeptus Ministorum has the proper facilities to adress your problems.
I am hoping you do an updated video regarding first contact scenarios, and consider the first and second Sonic movies. If so you could probably explain both the benefits and hazards of Sonic, and those like him, using their powers, some of which have shown to cause electromagnetic anomalies that can disrupt various power systems like knocking out power across the pacific northwest. And of course explaining how someone with a hidden agenda like Robotnik would try to reverse engineer and use those abilities for malicious purposes and causing mayhem that would be borderline terrorism. And how the government leaving Sonic in the care of a human family rather than contained in a secure facility for observation is just reckless and not very discreet. Just a suggestion if you are interested in doing something like that. Though I would wait until the second movie is released, or a real trailer is actually made before making a video like that.
I think the best alien invasion modern day humanity can hope for is Battle Los Angeles, where humanity’s current technology can combat the alien army’s advanced tech and superior numbers. I dare even say civilians can go underground and spur up an effective resistance. Since the air force is gonna be mostly decimated from alien drones, ground units are the name of the game, and to be honest, the odds are kinda even or perhaps slightly better in humanity’s favor.
what happens if we find aliens, they have really cool tech and want to share it with us in like exchange for resources or something, but some guy whos high af goes and eas one and they taste really good and you know what I'm too hungry for this
Arthur C Clark suggested that if we did encounter intelligent aliens they would be so radically different from us that we might not even recognize each other as intelligent.
I don't think it's right simply because artificial creations are simply different from natural ones. Take an obvious thing. A spaceship. An inteligent species will understand that it's seeing a spaceship, simply because it has it's own propulsion. From that, it will be obvious that someone or something had to make the vessel. Also, with how the universe works, technology would develop along the same lines. Life can only origin on a rocky planet/moon. This means that it will have known compounds, and thus the aliens will use those chemicals. Also detection systems. In space one has to use elecromagnetic waves for detection (or perhaps something more sophysticated - but then they'll be able to understand that they are observing a predicessor), thus Radars and Ladars will be universal.
the aliens are responsible for all the disasters this year, the survivors will be earth’s best and brightest who will be willing to create an alliance with the extrterrestrial visitors and propell earth into a technological golden age. or im just high a-f
Alan, you left out ET, Avatar, and just for laughs, Battleship (or maybe this one is a screwup since we practically invited them), etc. Also, are you going to do the worst handled first contact scenarios? Here are a few you could use: Humanity's first contact with the mimbarri in Babylon 5 should definitely be in that one (we fire first because we misinterpreted their actions as an attack, after getting recklessly close to their ships as well, killing their leader and provoking them to go on a war of extermination that they would of won if it weren't for some crazy coincidences that causes them to stand down and make peace with us). Another case of mishandled first contact is the Alien franchise, which contains a whole bunch of screw ups (not Ripley's fault, she ends up fixing messes created by the guys who screw up). Yet another screwed up first contact is from the Species franchise, where we think it is a good idea to combine an alien DNA code with human DNA following instructions from an alien signal that did not actually elaborate on why we should do this even. Another badly handled first contact, though the franchise itself is great, is in The Expanse where a small cabal of people decide it is a good idea to test a self replicating entity that acts like a pathogen on humans just to see what happens, ultimately having it convert an asteroid into a ship that almost carries it to earth.
SO many more, better first contact scenarios you could have chosen, ones that could provoke actual deep thought and discussion: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 2001:A Space Odyssey, "The Devil in the Dark" episode from Star Trek TOS, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and more. A lot of those are considered classics for a reason.
If you hadn't guessed already, GenFilms seems to have kind of a hate boner for aliens (and robots too, but that's beside the point). Unfortunately, this is also the sort of paranoia mindset that is most likely to get humanity killed anyway, so who am I to say.
@@nathandavis435 A dose of paranoia tempered by caution and rational thought beats standing on the top of Tower Records in downtown L.A. with a "Welcome to Earth" sign...
@@MonkeyJedi99 I mean, that's true, excitement must be tempered with caution, especially when making first contact. But paranoid "expect the worst every time" thinking won't get us very far at all (I mean, look at our worlds history...).
It is true, a marine is trained to be a warrior first. And I’m sure every marine remembers how to operate the claymore or C4... cut scene to Marine reading instructions in middle of firefight.
I remember reading a book some years back about a race that came to Earth to take us over. Their tech could counter the first gen laser and plasma weapons we had (was a few years in the future) and they were kicking the crap out of us. But.....They had never encountered 'slug throwers' before. Apparently they had utterly skipped that step because of some weird crystal that grew on their world that could do damn near anything. Power a ship, a city, a suit of armor, weapons and shields.....It would stop almost all energy based weapons we used. But the main character got an old tank working and fired it at one of the ships......and blew out the engines. Needless to say the resulting fight became an absolute LOLfest with one alien even being taken out by some old dude and a musket. Also loved how over the top superior the aliens were like....even WORSE than the Eldar from 40K. Was a riot to read! Will try to find the book, been a few years since I looked at it last
Would be much funnier if their only weakness would be medieval weapons because their shields would stop every energy- or slug projectile that is fast enough. And then a bunch of HEMA-nerds have to save humanity.
Getting Half Life Alyx advertisement before this video that the thumbnail shows, initiating violence to a locust alien from the Independence Day, is Just *Perfect* I still believe in potential alien waifu's thought; Xcom2 has proven that!
You missed the one from the 1940's version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. It is a very likely sort of 1st contact when humans become able to go to other star systems. It is a warning.
Missed scenario from 'The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy'. Aliens are building a road and no one in whole universe cares about humans. 'Don't panic! In order to build new space highway your planet scheduled to demolition. Have a good day!'
There's an old book by Phil Foglio titled "Illegal Aliens" which is a funny space-opera-ish look at alien contact. Humanity's first ET contact is with a bunch of juvenile delinquents who just get off on watching civilizations burn, and get rather more than they expected when they contact humanity.
There hasn't been a movie adaption with the same premise (Stalker's version of the Zone is caused by a meteor), but aliens showing up on Earth in Roadside Picnic was also a unique take. Aliens are on an interstellar trip and they make a quick pit stop on earth in six areas and left to go back on their journey. The areas they were at are polluted by the aliens an are uninhabitable by humans. In the book a character uses the allegory of a roadside picnic to explain what the aliens did to create the zones. It's a unique take because it's not that often you see an alien visitation story used as an allegory for pollution. "A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. Cars drive off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning they leave. The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? Old spark plugs and old filters strewn around... Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a monkey wrench left behind... And of course, the usual mess-apple cores, candy wrappers, charred remains of the campfire, cans, bottles, somebody’s handkerchief, somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, faded flowers picked in another meadow"

"Don't make the deadly error of assuming we share the same set of values" paraphrasing a quote from Magpul's website but covers this situation pretty well.
I mean we'll probably share the value of family and friends. A species that cannot form bonds and only knows war and death is going to kill itself, therefore it cannot exist if it is warlike (Unless it is a hivemind and/or the ruler is far more powerful than the rest of the species combined).
@@HOLDENPOPE Well, they don't need the value of family AND friends. Maybe they have no concept of biological family, but organize themselves in pack-like structure which are part of a horde and so on and so on. Maybe they are assigned to a pack when they are kids like the Charr in Guild Wars. Or they choose their pack in a flexible way like a society of flat-sharing communities.

No mention of the Asgard or the Vulcans?
@Adymn Sani - With the Vulcans... no...
First contact with them is shown in the move "First Contact," between a Vulcan science ship that originally had no interest in Earth... "too primitive," but when they detect the first warp flight from Earth, they alter their course out of scientific curiosity. And as per Star Trek's lore, the United Earth representing humanity and the Vulcans build a fairly functional alliance that ultimately leads to the United Federation of Planets. By the original series, Vulcans are present in Starfleet and the one we know the most about... Spock was serving as First Officer onboard the USS Enterprise and befriending James T. Kirk and Bones McCoy. And Spock was actually half Vulcan...
So in the case of the Vulcans, first contact went well, was peaceful, and led to a friendly exchange of relations. Logically this lead to Sarek marrying Spock's mother.
🖖
Live long and prosper.
Because it's a mix of best case and realistic. More than likely first contact would be hostile.
@@HorFell That's pure speculation, we don't have thousands of first contacts to compare for a scientific study.
on thin I always found interesting in the mass effect universe during the first contact war the Humans thought that they were losing the war with the Turians but if you read some of the comics and other media related to it you learn that the Turians were losing the war. The Turian military doctrine always relied on using overwhelming force to win its wars and battles but even though the humans had inferior technology and weapons their tactics took the Turians by surprise and they did not really know how to respond to a smaller enemy that was outmaneuvering them. They never anticipated that the humans would abandon the planet with their fleet only to lure the Turians in and give them a false sense of security then come back with even more forces after most of the Turian fleet had already left.
Arrival was actually a really cool movie. I love the ideas it brings up.
Honestly I just like listening to Allen’s voice talk about space shit
I was surprised that Star Trek First Contact didn't make this list. It's in the title after all. ;-)
District 9 is actually a 10/10. That movie is so damn good on so many levels.
Alien: We have searched for life in the open space for a millennium and finally the search is over, we welcome you and we come in peace.

Best regards as Will Smith's performance is EPIC!!!!!!
I think Childhood's End is one if not the best 1st encounter.
When I play Stellaris I befriend the other major power with a non-aggression pact then subsequently invade S many other factions as possible and turn their local populations into livestock, it works extremely well.
Suffer not the xeno to live. But in all seriousness tho, if they really wanna be friends then lets just be friends.

I am hoping you do an updated video regarding first contact scenarios, and consider the first and second Sonic movies. If so you could probably explain both the benefits and hazards of Sonic, and those like him, using their powers, some of which have shown to cause electromagnetic anomalies that can disrupt various power systems like knocking out power across the pacific northwest. And of course explaining how someone with a hidden agenda like Robotnik would try to reverse engineer and use those abilities for malicious purposes and causing mayhem that would be borderline terrorism.
And how the government leaving Sonic in the care of a human family rather than contained in a secure facility for observation is just reckless and not very discreet.
Just a suggestion if you are interested in doing something like that. Though I would wait until the second movie is released, or a real trailer is actually made before making a video like that.
0:36 I always wear track suite pants and a dressing gown. Either that or just board shorts. When I'm at home
I think the best alien invasion modern day humanity can hope for is Battle Los Angeles, where humanity’s current technology can combat the alien army’s advanced tech and superior numbers. I dare even say civilians can go underground and spur up an effective resistance. Since the air force is gonna be mostly decimated from alien drones, ground units are the name of the game, and to be honest, the odds are kinda even or perhaps slightly better in humanity’s favor.
I always thought the concept of Evolution (2001) was a good base to build our response.
Nothing beats head and shoulders

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL?!?!"
Independence Day quote.👆
Them dreadlocks hanging out of his parachute...
what happens if we find aliens, they have really cool tech and want to share it with us in like exchange for resources or something, but some guy whos high af goes and eas one and they taste really good and you know what I'm too hungry for this
i like the direction this went, you answered your own question
We can always trade humans for tech! Good amount of test subjects in bulk for some neat agricultural tech!

Human Alien first contact scenario #6 “Live long & Prosper.”🖖
Arthur C Clark suggested that if we did encounter intelligent aliens they would be so radically different from us that we might not even recognize each other as intelligent.
I don't think it's right simply because artificial creations are simply different from natural ones. Take an obvious thing. A spaceship. An inteligent species will understand that it's seeing a spaceship, simply because it has it's own propulsion. From that, it will be obvious that someone or something had to make the vessel. Also, with how the universe works, technology would develop along the same lines.
Life can only origin on a rocky planet/moon. This means that it will have known compounds, and thus the aliens will use those chemicals.
Also detection systems. In space one has to use elecromagnetic waves for detection (or perhaps something more sophysticated - but then they'll be able to understand that they are observing a predicessor), thus Radars and Ladars will be universal.

Wolf Mann I don’t blame you but I’m going with the latter
Alan, you left out ET, Avatar, and just for laughs, Battleship (or maybe this one is a screwup since we practically invited them), etc.
Also, are you going to do the worst handled first contact scenarios? Here are a few you could use:
Humanity's first contact with the mimbarri in Babylon 5 should definitely be in that one (we fire first because we misinterpreted their actions as an attack, after getting recklessly close to their ships as well, killing their leader and provoking them to go on a war of extermination that they would of won if it weren't for some crazy coincidences that causes them to stand down and make peace with us).
Another case of mishandled first contact is the Alien franchise, which contains a whole bunch of screw ups (not Ripley's fault, she ends up fixing messes created by the guys who screw up).
Yet another screwed up first contact is from the Species franchise, where we think it is a good idea to combine an alien DNA code with human DNA following instructions from an alien signal that did not actually elaborate on why we should do this even.
Another badly handled first contact, though the franchise itself is great, is in The Expanse where a small cabal of people decide it is a good idea to test a self replicating entity that acts like a pathogen on humans just to see what happens, ultimately having it convert an asteroid into a ship that almost carries it to earth.
Aliens: *moved*

Dumb Comment that’s its reproductive appendage that it waves for a greeting!

That was a perfect explaination for marines.
Give a marine a rifle they will not stop till they get to there objective.
As a Steve, the pants comment hit me hard. Pants are overrated. Go kilts!
SO many more, better first contact scenarios you could have chosen, ones that could provoke actual deep thought and discussion: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 2001:A Space Odyssey, "The Devil in the Dark" episode from Star Trek TOS, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and more. A lot of those are considered classics for a reason.
It's a cookbook!
If you hadn't guessed already, GenFilms seems to have kind of a hate boner for aliens (and robots too, but that's beside the point). Unfortunately, this is also the sort of paranoia mindset that is most likely to get humanity killed anyway, so who am I to say.
@@nathandavis435 A dose of paranoia tempered by caution and rational thought beats standing on the top of Tower Records in downtown L.A. with a "Welcome to Earth" sign...
@@MonkeyJedi99 I mean, that's true, excitement must be tempered with caution, especially when making first contact. But paranoid "expect the worst every time" thinking won't get us very far at all (I mean, look at our worlds history...).

Yeah Steve! Get dressed! Interplanetary company is coming over!
I remember reading a book some years back about a race that came to Earth to take us over. Their tech could counter the first gen laser and plasma weapons we had (was a few years in the future) and they were kicking the crap out of us. But.....They had never encountered 'slug throwers' before. Apparently they had utterly skipped that step because of some weird crystal that grew on their world that could do damn near anything. Power a ship, a city, a suit of armor, weapons and shields.....It would stop almost all energy based weapons we used. But the main character got an old tank working and fired it at one of the ships......and blew out the engines. Needless to say the resulting fight became an absolute LOLfest with one alien even being taken out by some old dude and a musket. Also loved how over the top superior the aliens were like....even WORSE than the Eldar from 40K. Was a riot to read!
Will try to find the book, been a few years since I looked at it last
Whats the Book thunder
@@speedercat154 Still looking for the blasted thing. Missing it and about a quarter of the ones on my old bookshelf >.
Would be much funnier if their only weakness would be medieval weapons because their shields would stop every energy- or slug projectile that is fast enough. And then a bunch of HEMA-nerds have to save humanity.

Missed scenario from 'The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy'. Aliens are building a road and no one in whole universe cares about humans. 'Don't panic! In order to build new space highway your planet scheduled to demolition. Have a good day!'
There's an old book by Phil Foglio titled "Illegal Aliens" which is a funny space-opera-ish look at alien contact. Humanity's first ET contact is with a bunch of juvenile delinquents who just get off on watching civilizations burn, and get rather more than they expected when they contact humanity.
There hasn't been a movie adaption with the same premise (Stalker's version of the Zone is caused by a meteor), but aliens showing up on Earth in Roadside Picnic was also a unique take. Aliens are on an interstellar trip and they make a quick pit stop on earth in six areas and left to go back on their journey. The areas they were at are polluted by the aliens an are uninhabitable by humans. In the book a character uses the allegory of a roadside picnic to explain what the aliens did to create the zones. It's a unique take because it's not that often you see an alien visitation story used as an allegory for pollution.
"A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. Cars drive off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning they leave. The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? Old spark plugs and old filters strewn around... Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a monkey wrench left behind... And of course, the usual mess-apple cores, candy wrappers, charred remains of the campfire, cans, bottles, somebody’s handkerchief, somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, faded flowers picked in another meadow"
You forgot #6: The Ferengi arrive with an invasion fleet and order all females to get naked! 🤣
