Who says they were the aliens?
Man, the aliens sat it out in their dry ass ship and sent a crop of vat grown drones to go harvest all the organs they wanted on a world covered in H2O.
The drones aren't bright, but the get the job done. They only last 30 hours or so before they start decomposing, so it doesn't matter if they get locked in a pantry or clubed with a bat.
You think a starfaring species would come all the way to Sol 3, and not being a bio organic drone to go out and brave the hazards of an acid covered water world hell planet?
Shit. Don't get me fucking started on how many people miss the point of the aliens in fucking Signs.
If there was this much world building I’d probably like it more.
But the only rules they established for the aliens are poison gas and water dissolving.
Actually, The only world building they did firmly establish was that the aliens did not matter...
For all the audience needs to know, they used the gas to transfer their consciousness into a new host, and they do this everytime they visit a new biosphere.
But no, you fucking de-cloak early during one childrens birthday party in South America and your ass is a joke, you get fucking anthropomorphized for the next 20 years...
